The 10-time Grammy winner took home the first-ever Icon Award at the 2019 Teen Choice Awards. on Sunday, August 11. Alex Morgan presented Swift with the award at the Hermosa Beach, Calif. event and before her speech, a video played featuring celebrities praising her. Jameela Jamil, Ed Sheeran and HAIM were among the group.
Her thank you speech touched upon how everyone makes mistakes but it’s a matter of learning from them and growing as a person. The audience wouldn’t stop cheering — and her next announcement definitely didn’t silence them. “Theres so much I’m excited about coming up in the next 12 days until my album, Lover, comes out,” the 23-time American Music Award winner said. “But I wanted to tell you guys tonight that on the 16th, on Friday, I have a new song called ‘Lover’ coming out. I’m so excited.”
August is already a big month for the artist. On August 23, the “Shake It Off” singer will release her seventh album, Lover, which has already spawned two hits, “ME!” and “You Need to Calm Down.” On August 26, she’ll perform at the MTV Video Music Awards Opens a New Window. for the first time in four years.
She also landed the cover of Vogue’s September issue, and she didn’t shy away from any big topics — from music and politics to Kim Kardashian and sexism in the industry.
Swift has been keeping most details of her upcoming album a secret, but did drop a few hints about the 18-track record. “I was compiling ideas for a very long time. When I started writing, I couldn’t stop,” she said. “There are so many ways in which this album feels like a new beginning. This album is really a love letter to love, in all of its maddening, passionate, exciting, enchanting, horrific, tragic, wonderful glory.”
Speaking of love, Swift has also been dating Joe Alwyn for nearly three years, so it’s safe to say he’s been an influence on the album’s theme!
