Taylor Swift is not only a pop queen, but also a marketing queen. Holding on to the perfect lyric tease for the April 8 Eclipse Day, the 14-time Grammy winner updated her Instagram story minutes before the spellbinding spectacle traversed North America on Monday.

Whilst celebrating the unforgettable Solar eclipse of April 8, a cyclic moment that won’t greet the US again until 2045, Swift served a taste of what’s to come in her April 19 album. Fans awaiting the epic reveal of her eleventh studio album went wild upon relishing the sweetness of the lyric reveal.

Her Instagram story, tagging the link to her album’s pre-order options, tapped a poignant vintage look. A type-writer, pushing the album’s already presented monochrome, sombre aesthetics, typed out the following lyrics:

“Crowd goes wild at her fingertips

Half moonshine,

Full eclipse”
