Taylor Swift didn’t stay away from social media for long. After going offline for no reason on Friday (Aug. 18), Swift came back online on Monday morning (Aug. 21) with an intriguing tease that made Swift fans go crazy again.

There wasn’t much information available but around 11 a.m. ET, Swift posted a 10-second video on Twitter that showed the tail of a snake, lizard, or other animal moving back and forth and flickering like it was recorded on an old VHS tape.
On Monday morning, the singer’s Twitter avatar and feed were still blank. The same video was also on the singer’s Instagram, Tumblr, and Facebook accounts, but all of them were deleted at the same time on Friday, which made fans think she might be getting ready to announce her highly-anticipated sixth album. As of press time, Swift’s team had nothing to say about the peek.

Swift used to release a new album every two years, but it’s been almost three years since her huge 1989 record came out in October 2014. The last song she worked on was the Fifty Shades Darker soundtrack hit “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever” with Zayn Malik.
