"Enchanted by the endless possibilities! Taylor Swift announced the title of her upcoming album on Monday, Aug. 18, and it is... 1989!\r\nSince Aug. 4, the 24-year-old songstress has uploaded several clues about the special livestream to&amp;#xA0;Yahoo at 5 p.m. on Aug. 18. The event, which took place in NYC, was a platform for Swift to perform her new single, &amp;quot;Shake It Off,&amp;quot; and announce her upcoming album 1989.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I woke up every single day not wanting but needing to make a new style of music that I had never made before,&amp;quot; Swift told fans after performing her fun single. &amp;quot;We made the most sonically-cohesive album I&amp;apos;d ever made. We made my favorite album I&amp;apos;ve ever made.&amp;quot;&amp;#xA0;\r\n&amp;quot;I was listening to a lot of late &amp;apos;80s pop.. so being inspired by that, I started delving into the late &amp;apos;80s,&amp;quot; Swift continued. &amp;quot;It was apparently a time of limitless potential&amp;#x2026; be who you want, wear what you want, do what you want.&amp;quot; She added, &amp;quot;The idea of that was so inspiring to me.&amp;quot;\r\n&amp;#xA0;\r\n&amp;quot;This new album was a rebirth for me, it&amp;apos;s so new&amp;#x2026; and having been born on December 13, 1989, this album is called, &amp;apos;1989.&amp;apos;&amp;quot;\r\nThe star added that this will be her &amp;quot;first documented official pop album.&amp;quot; 1989 will hit stores Oct. 27, but fans can preorder the album now on Swift&amp;apos;s website.\r\n\r\n&amp;#xA0;\r\nHer pop-y new single &amp;quot;Shake It Off&amp;quot; was cowritten with Max Martin and Shellback (with whom she&amp;apos;s worked on hits like &amp;quot;We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;I Knew You Were Trouble&amp;quot; from her last album, Red). &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;ve been working on a new album for two years,&amp;quot; Swift said. &amp;quot;I feel like two years gives you two years to grow and to live.&amp;quot;&amp;#xA0;\r\nDuring the event, Swift also shared her new music video for &amp;quot;Shake It Off,&amp;quot; which features the star in various unique and crazy costumes.\r\n\r\nBack in 2010, Swift hosted another livestream ahead of the release of her third studio album, Speak Now. The hour-long event included a Q&amp;amp;A between the singer and her fans, as well as a performance of three songs from Swift&amp;apos;s new record.\r\n\r\nWatch her performance above!"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
