A New Taylor Swift Album On The Way?
Watch our iHeartRadio Awards recap here.
Taylor Swift has been wearing butterflies in her wardrobe lately, which some have speculated is tied into the theme of her new album (we’ll see what Mariah Carey has to say about that). As for exactly when the new Taylor tunes will be dropping, the pop Queen is playing it close to her vest.
“I love your passion, I love your attention to detail, I love how much you care,” she said to the crowd at the iHeartRadio Awards last night in LA, addressing the frenzied inquired about her next album. “I love seeing all the things you’re posting online. I just wanted to let you know that when there is new music, you will be the first to know.”
Swift is still reaping the benefits of her last body of work, 2017’s Reputation. She won “Radio Tour of the Year” for the “Reputation Tour” as well as Video of the year for “Delicate.”
Today Swift was on social media, giving props to a fan that admonishes Kanye West’s 2016 video “Famous,” calling the short the equivalent of “revenge porn.”
“The famous music video was straight up revenge porn," @Sagittariussnake tweeted "Not to mention putting abuse victims next to their abusers and celebrating sexual assaulters. It was disgusting and he doesn't get enough crap for it."
Swift liked the Tweet.

Alicia Keys Performs With Her Son At iHeart Awards
Their kids are into music, dancing, fashion and other arts, as we’ve seen on the clan’s various social media posts. Swizz’s oldest son Nasir, who has been making a name for himself as a producer, just secured a deal with Epic records. Last night during the iHeart Radio Awards, Keys brought up eight-year-old Egypt to play the piano while she sang “How To Raise A Man.”
“Say we need each other more than we know,” A.K. sang sitting next to her son on the piano bench. He was sharp, wearing a white bedazzled jacket and blue bandana.
“Somebody made a man,” she added as she rose, “to show me how to raise a man. /Raise a man. /You can't be a man. /If we don't raise a man.”
Keys also won the Innovator Award at the event. While onstage, she shouted out her son Genesis, who exchanged waves with Taylor Swift. The pop Queen sat in the seats next to Alicia and Swizz.
“My son, Genesis, I think is maybe trying to take Taylor out later tonight,” Keys said on kidding fashion about their adorable interaction. "He’s working on it. I’m not sure how it’s going to go, but it looks pretty good right now.”
Meanwhile, Swift addressed everyone asking for her new album: “I just wanted to let you know that when there is new music, you will be the first to know.”
