ON THE EVENING of Monday 18 August, Miss Taylor Alison Swift hosted a long awaited Livestream (webcast) via Yahoo! As pictured above. The above image was taken during the final ten minute countdown to the half-hour broadcast, live from the Empire State Building, New York City, at 5pm Eastern Standard Time, which was 10pm British Summer Time. Taylor wore a white crop top with matching white skirt, as you can see in the next image, taken during the Livestream broadcast:
Oh yes, Taylor did look rather tanned and gorgeous during the broadcast too, in the run up to which Taylor Tweeted that is was "Time to reveal some secrets" and we weren't disappointed. First was the announcement of the new track 'Shake It Off', which was played as an audio track during the broadcast. That was followed quickly by the announcement of the new album, '1989', which is to be released Monday 27 October. The cover of the album was also unveiled during the broadcast:
The broadcast also included a live audience at the Empire State Building and groups of fans at Livestream parties at international locations, such as Canada and Norway. Taylor took questions from social media, which had been submitted prior to the broadcast, one of which asked if any videos would accompany the new tracks. It was at this point Taylor aired the video for 'Shake It Off':
The broadcast was rounded off with the news that '1989' is available to pre-order via Taylor's website and 'Shake It Off' is available to purchase and download. Taylor closed the broadcast with the words "There's no sale like a pre-sale" as social media went into overdrive and all the details of the album and single were available on Taylor's website.
