The singer-songwriter started out by sharing her new song "Shake It Off" and she danced with her audience to it. She worked with Max Martin and Shellback on this one. The same duo worked with her on "I Knew You Were Trouble" and "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together."

Second, Taylor is releasing her fifth album called 1989, the year in which she was born. While Swift has long straddled the border of country and pop, she noted that 1989 will be her first officially documented pop album. She's been working on this album for two years, and it will be in stores on October 27.

After taking audience questions, Taylor then revealed the music video for "Shake It Off" in which she herself dances with professionals.

"You can tell who someone is by how they dance," she said.

A group of about 100 fans join her in the video, and she made a point to thank them for keeping the music video a secret for two months.

Leading up to this day, Taylor has been dropping mysterious Instagram clues about her big announcement.
