Taylor Swift, on Monday morning, returned to social media with a cryptic, 10-second video of what appears to be a snake slithering against a black backdrop.

The video was posted to all of her social media accounts without a caption.

Excited fans were unable to express themselves on the singer?s Insta account after she turned off the commenting feature for the post.

Director Joseph Kahn ? who has previously worked with the pop star on her "Blank Space," "Bad Blood," ?Wildest Dreams" and "Out of the Woods" videos ? retweeted the video with a smiling emoji.

In a tweet, he said, "In 30 minutes, as a show of power, @taylorswift13 will blot out the sun."

Swift's post comes just days after the "Blank Space" singer went blank on social media Friday, clearing out the entirety of her Instagram, Twitter and Tumblr accounts.

Speculations about the announcement of her sixth album are rampant.

An Australian radio show cited a Swift ?expert? on the singer making a big announcement at 2pm on Monday ? during the solar eclipse.
