Taylor Swift turned all her social media accounts into a literal "blank space" on Aug. 18, leading her fans into a frenzy about whether her sixth album will be coming out soon. True enough, the award-winning singer released a series of snake videos that successfully hyped up the reveal of her new album, its album art, and the release date.

Swift, 27, has finally put fans' questions to rest after a suspicious social media silence and a series of snake videos was released on her social media accounts — the singer is putting out her sixth album called "Reputation" which will be out on Nov. 10.

Fans are speculating that the snake references point to her well-publicized feud with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian West. Swift called out Kanye's mention of her name in a sexually explicit song, claiming that she had no prior knowledge about the song.

However, in a series of social media posts, Kim shared audio clips that appear to show Swift agreeing to have her name included in Kanye's song.

The feud followed another well-publicized scandal for Swift: her break-up with "Avengers" actor Tom Hiddleston, following a long-term relationship with DJ Calvin Harris.

The album art for "Reputation" has none of past Swift album's carefree, youthful feel. It shows a black and white photo of the singer, staring straight into the camera, superimposed with newsprint text of her name.

The first single of the album will be dropping on the evening of Thursday, Aug. 24.

Her previous album "1989" which was released in 2014, sold 1.2 million copies in the first week alone. It is the singer's first album that is unabashedly pop instead of country.

Following the West issue, Swift spent most of the year without much social media or public fanfare, until her recent court battle against former DJ David Mueller.
