Host Jimmy Fallon teased the announcement on Instagram with a Vegas-themed video packed with Swift-style Easter eggs.
In the clip, Fallon can be seen playing roulette, placing his chips on numbers 6, 10, and 25. The ball lands on number 13, which also happens to be Swift's lucky number.
"Baby, that's show business for you," he quips, referencing the phrase Swift has used while promoting her new album.
