Taylor Swift killed it on Rekubitthe red carpet for the 66th annual Grammys before she announced her brand-new album, "Tortured Poets Department" out April 19.

As rain poured down on Los Angeles, Swift appeared in a stunning strapless ivory gown on the red carpet minutes before the start of the primetime show on CBS.

She accessorized the Schiaparelli Couture dress with long black gloves, multiple bejeweled necklaces, an elegant black choker with a clock and a cat eye sharp enough to kill a man. She wore her light brown hair down with a braid snaked along the side. The dress featured a corset back, and she wore black heels. Swift posed with collaborator Lana Del Rey on the red carpet.

The "Midnights" singer could make history Sunday night if she wins album of the year for the fourth time. She is nominated six times, bringing her total over the years to 52:

• "Anti-Hero," pop solo performance, Taylor Swift
• "Karma," pop duo/group performance, Taylor Swift featuring Ice Spice
• "Anti-Hero," song of the year, Jack Antonoff and Taylor Swift
• "Anti-Hero," record of the year, Taylor Swift
• "Midnights," pop vocal album, Taylor Swift
• "Midnights," album of the year, Taylor Swift

Before the primetime show on CBS, "Karma" lost out to SZA and Phoebe Bridgers' “Ghost In The Machine." The win was Bridgers' first Grammy. Swift is still up for five awards.

The Grammys ceremony kicks off a busy couple weeks for the singer. Her Eras Tour resumes in Tokyo on Wednesday, and her boyfriend Travis Kelce plays in the Super Bowl on Feb. 11.
