Taylor Swift teased her fans with the vinyl album artwork of her new album Midnights.
The star took to TikTok to show off three special edition covers of the upcoming album due for release on October 21.
Wearing a horizontal striped t-shirt, Swift jumped into shot in front of a window with the blinds drawn and lip synced to an audio that said, "I want to show you what I do."
She then ran out of shot, to jump back in clumsily holding three vinyl editions of the album.
They all had the same design, featuring a photo of the star, with the title of the album above it and the track listing to the right of the photo.
But each cover featured a different photo of Swift and the colors of the title and track listing were different on each cover.
She captioned the TikTok: "August may have slipped away but September brings 3 new special edition covers! Pre-order Midnights collectible cd versions and unique color vinyl versions now ... ?♀️? #swifttok #TSmidnighTS #MeetMeAtMidnight."
The vinyl albums also come in different colors: jade green, blood moon and mahogany.
Swift's eagle-eyed fans, who are well known for analyzing every post by the singer, spotted she had blurred out the track listings in the video.
"SHE BLURRED THE TRACKLIST I CAN'T HANDLE THIS ANYMORE AAAAAAAH," commented one fan.
And a second added: "THE TRACKS ARE BLURRED Y'ALL THEY HAVE NAMES."
Swift announced her upcoming 10th album at the MTV VMAs on Sunday, 28 August.
While accepting the award for Video of the Year for her "All Too Well" clip, Swift told the audience, "I thought it might be a fun moment to tell you that my brand new album comes out October 21."
On Twitter later that evening, Swift wrote: "Midnights, the stories of 13 sleepless nights scattered throughout my life, will be out October 21. Meet me at midnight."
Alongside the announcement she teased the album artwork which included a small photo of herself surrounded by a cream border, the title Midnights, and a track list consisting only of numbers.
In her album announcement on social media, Swift also shared a photo of herself bent over in a chair in a darkened room with a cryptic description of what fans could expect from the album.
"We lie awake in love and fear, in turmoil and in tears. We stare at walls and drink until they speak back," Swift wrote.
"We twist in our self-made cages and pray that we aren't—right this minute—about to make some fateful life-altering mistake.
"This is a collection of music written in the middle of the night, a journey through terrors and sweet dreams. The floors we pace and the demons we face."
Swift added: "For all of us who have tossed and turned and decided to keep the lanterns lit and go searching—hoping that just maybe, when the clock strikes twelve... we'll meet ourselves."
