NEW YORK - Taylor Swift, who has been teasing fans for weeks with clues about a new project to be announced Friday, hyped fans up when she visited a mural in Nashville on Thursday.

The pop star surprised a few hundred fans, posing with them in front of a mural she commissioned.

Swift thanked the artist who created the mural in an Instagram post on Thursday. She also thanked her fans for showing up, saying: "I've never been more proud of your FBI level detective skills."

She added that the next clue would be her live interview with ABC's Robin Roberts later in the day.

Swift's last album was "reputation," released in 2017.
