Taylor Swift walks the red carpet at the 2024 Grammy Awards
Taylor Swift shut down the red carpet at the 2024 Grammy Awards red carpet in a black and white dress.
Taylor Swift announced a new album Sunday night at the 2024 Grammys.
Swift will release "The Tortured Poets Department" on April 19.
The singer-songwriter announced the news after being awarded the Grammy for best pop vocal album for "Midnights."
"This is my 13th Grammy, which is my lucky number," she told the audience. "I don't know if I've ever told you that." She explained that she wanted to celebrate by "telling you a secret that I've been keeping from you for the past two years."
Later in the evening, Swift also made history by winning her fourth album of the year award, also for "Midnights."
"I love it so much. It makes me so happy," Swift said while accepting the Grammy. "All I want to do is keep doing this. Mindblown. Thank you so much."
TAYLOR SWIFT'S GRAMMYS PLANS: NO TRAVIS KELCE, NO PERFORMANCE
Swift wore a white gown with black gloves to the Grammys – which turned out to be a nod to the theme of her new album. The musician accessorized with a black watch choker with the hands set to midnight.
In a viral video on the red carpet, Swift frantically asks if her watch is set to midnight sparking speculation that a surprise was coming. Instead, the watch proved to be a red herring – likely just an acknowledgment of her last album, "Midnights."

Swift appeared at Sunday's award show without NFL star Travis Kelce. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end is preparing to play in Super Bowl LVIII against the San Francisco 49ers on Feb. 11.
The singer plans on being in Las Vegas for the Super Bowl, Fox News Digital has learned. The global pop star is even planning how she'll spend her time in Nevada, the source said.

Ahead of the awards show, Swift changed her Instagram profile photo for a black and white version – potentially dropping a hint to fans of what was to come. The "Midnights" singer is known to give out "Easter eggs" – hinting at things that are set to happen for her fans to decipher.
"When I was 15 and putting together my first album ... I decided to encode the lyrics with hidden messages using capital letters," Swift previously told the Washington Post. "That's how it started, and my fans and I have since descended into color coding, numerology, word searches, elaborate hints and Easter eggs."

The singer is known as a "mastermind," even penning a song using the word. Swift sings, "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail/Strategy sets the scene for the tale" in the hit song from her latest album, which landed her six Grammys nominations this year.
"I think the best messages are cryptic ones," Swift told Entertainment Weekly. "Easter eggs can be left on clothing or jewelry. This is one of my favorite ways to do this because you wear something that foreshadows something else, and people don't usually find out this one immediately, but they know you're probably sending a message."
"They'll figure it out in time. Lots of examples of this exist through the history of my career."
