LOS ANGELES — Calling all Swifties! Prepare yourself for a new Taylor Swift album coming in April.

During her Grammy acceptance speech for Best Pop Vocal for "Midnights," Swift announced she is dropping her 11th studio album on April 19. It will be called "The Tortured Poets Department."

“I know that the way that the Recording Academy voted is a direct reflection of the passion of the fans,” she said in her speech. “So I want to say thank you to the fans by telling you a secret that I’ve been keeping from you for the last two years, which is that my brand new album comes out April 19. It’s called ‘The Tortured Poets Department.’ I'm gonna go and post the cover right now backstage.”

She double-confirmed the big news by dropping the cover art for the album just minutes after her speech. 

This makes 13 Grammy wins for the "Cruel Summer" singer, which is the singer's favorite number. 

She has been nominated for a Grammy Award 52 times.
