Aircraft
We were loaded up on a brand new Max headed to ZZZ1. Shortly after initial speed up but before rotation we hear this loud pop sound from the #1 engine area. Then the plane fish tailed slightly to the left; we then hear braking and the reverse engine thrust and come to fast stop and an aborted take off. Sat on runway for about 10 seconds in silence. Aircraft stopped very quickly; no injuries reported from cabin that we could hear from passengers. Unknown damage at full stop.Parked on runway we then within a minute hear pilot on PA say to stay seated with seat belt on; as we will return to the gate to get it all checked. Pilot then calls flight attendant's (FA) on phone to alert us that everything is okay that we had a malfunction and we aborted takeoff.
