Taylor Swift has already had quite a momentous year over the past 12 months, but she's still looking forward to what else the future holds.

The "Karma" songstress teased fans about her "exciting" upcoming plans during an acceptance speech she made virtually at the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards on Monday, April 2, where she was honored with the prestigious Artist of the Year award.

Swift, 34, spoke out in a pre-taped video message to express her gratitude over winning the fan-voted award, and she made a point to share her excitement for some of the plans she has scheduled this year, including her continuing Eras Tour and the release of her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department.

"I want to say thank you so much to anyone who voted for this award," the singer said in the video, which she filmed while wearing a navy blue top and a gold statement necklace. "iHeart, you've also just been so incredibly supportive over the course of my entire career, but especially this year has been pretty spectacular. I am so grateful for that."

"You know, to the fans, it is completely up to you to choose how you spend your time, what concerts you want to go to, what music you want to make the soundtrack of your life. And to anyone who has included me in those choices, I am so, so, so thankful for that," Swift continued. before teasing, "We have so many exciting things ahead of us."

"I'm continuing on with the tour and, most importantly, I have a brand new album called The Tortured Poets Department, which comes out on April 19. I cannot wait to share it with you," she gushed.

"So, thank you for voting for me for this incredible honor—Artist of the Year," the 14-time Grammy winner went on. "I am so blown away and so thankful and I just can't wait to keep having fun with you guys because we have a lot of exciting things coming up. Thank you so much."

Swift's year was already off to a good start back in February, when she was awarded Album of the Year at the Grammys for the fourth time in her career, more than any other artist in the show's history. She then got to celebrate a Super Bowl win alongside boyfriend Travis Kelce, who took home the Vince Lombardi Trophy with the Kansas City Chiefs at Super Bowl LVIII this year.

Later this month, she will be releasing her next album before heading to Paris in May to resume the international leg of her tour—and fans can only imagine what else the "Cruel Summer" artist has up her sleeve for the months that follow!
