It's. Finally. Happening. After a three year wait, Taylor Swift is coming out with new music, and the first single drops tomorrow night. This news comes after a week of teasing all of us on social media. First, she totally wiped her Instagram and profile pictures, and then, one by one, released videos that eventually formed a snake — something people had taken to calling the singer after her feud with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian — and now, her latest post confirms that it was all worth the wait.
It looks like she's turning the snake narrative on its head, making a whole album about the way she's been perceived these past few years. Per a follow-up Instagram post, the new album is called Reputation, and drops in full on 10th November.

The imagery is a direct reference to the media, with fonts and prints resembling that of a newspaper, and fans cannot get enough of this new era of the pop star — even if they are having fun meme-ing the hell out of it.
