The album, Swift's 11th, is set to be released on April 19.

The announcement comes as a shock to fans, as many were eagerly waiting for the singer to announce Reputation (Taylor's Version) in her speech instead.

Swift attended the award ceremony in a black and white outfit, leading fans to believe it was an 'Easter egg' that the Reputation re-release was on its way – the original album had a black and white cover, and black is a shade associated with its aesthetic.

When she took to the stage, Swift pointed out the award was her 13th Grammy, "which is my lucky number, I don't know if I have ever told you that."

"I want to say thank you to the members of The Recording Academy for voting this way, but I know the way that The Recording Academy voted is a direct reflection of the passion of the fans."

Swift then shocked everyone when she announced that, as a thank you to her fans, she would be releasing her brand new album on April 19.
