Swift's socials went blank (har har har) over the weekend, sending the Internet into overdrive - has she been hacked? Or is this the start of a new album cycle? With this glitchy new teaser clip that's arrived, our money's on the latter, especially as Ed Sheeran revealed that new music was coming from Swift this year. Hopefully it's not that "hip-hop and R&B" album we got promised.

We've got no idea what the clip is supposed to show - is it a snake's tail? A crocodile? A dragon? Maybe she's teasing a Game Of Thrones cameo like her pal Ed...

Swift's been hella busy since releasing acclaimed record 1989 in 2014, with talk of a dedicated streaming service among the many rumours to emerge during her time off.

The "Shake It Off" star also recently dumped all her music back on Spotify.
