Well, it looks like the speculation was right.
Taylor Swift did indeed go dark on her social media account—and then post videos of snakes in reference to her ongoing “feud” with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian—to announce a new album.
Following a hard-won victory earlier this week in which the singer won a full $1 in a sexual harassment trial, Swift announced the album Reputation, her first since her mega-hit 2014 album 1989.

Though details are mysterious, the album cover focuses a lot on tabloids: it seems to suggest it will focus on her feelings regarding her, well, reputation: her break-up from DJ Calvin Harris, her brief fling with Tom Hiddleston, the West family.
Though maybe she’d be happier being out of the spotlight by not going dark on social media and posting mysterious videos of snakes.
