At the Grammy Awards on Sunday, the [_Midnights_](https://time.com/6209270/taylor-swift-midnights-album/) singer won for Best Pop Vocal Album and said it was her 13th Grammy win—her lucky number. "I want to say thank you to the fans by telling you a secret that I have been keeping from you for the last two years, which is that my brand-new album comes out April 19th. It’s called _The Tortured Poets Department_. I’m going to go and post the cover right now backstage. The announcement was met with immediate screams from the crowd. As promised, Swift posted the album cover on X and [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/p/C28vsIzO%5FbL/?hl=en&img%5Findex=1), where it got more than 4 million likes in 20 minutes. Fans had a feeling something was coming from Swift today, as the pop star changed her profile picture on Instagram to a black-and-white photo, a common tactic when she’s announcing something. > [](https://twitter.com/taylorswift13/status/1754332182401691704) Swift is also known for announcing new projects after winning awards. When she won the award for Video of the Year at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2022, Swift announced her _Midnights_ album.
