Taylor Swift caused a stir on Friday when she wiped her entire Instagram page clean and deleted all her photos, videos, followings and profile picture. Since then, the superstar has kept quiet on the app, while fans speculated the wipeout was a sign she was going to release new music soon.

But that changed this morning (Monday, August 21) when she posted a cryptic video on her page. There's no sound, but it looks like some sort of reptile tail, perhaps a snake's.

If the latter is true, that would be a major play, since people name-called her a 'snake' last year at the height of her highly-publicised feud with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian West over his track 'Famous'.

Watch the video below.

What to Read Next

Swift disabled the comments on the Instagram versions of the videos, but fans are already chiming in through other forms of social media, like Twitter.
