Taylor Swift Social Media Blackout Sign of New Album?

Taylor Swift has quietly deleted a slew of content from her social media accounts. But is anything she does publicly ever done quietly?

The sudden absence of profile pictures—or in the case of her Tumblr and Instagram accounts, deletion of all past posts—suggests she is perhaps planning something big. As of this writing, her website has also been blacked out.

The move comes as Swift has reportedly been working on a new album, with buddy Ed Sheeran confidently suggesting her new record would drop by the end of this year.

While she has previously released an album every other year, she broke that pattern last year. This fall marks three years since the release of her last record, 2014's 1989.

Reps for Taylor Swift were not immediately available for comment.
