Taylor Swift Reveals Her New Album Midnights Is Coming Sooner Than You Think
She added, "This is a collection of music written in the middle of the night, a journey through terrors and sweet dreams. The floors we pace and the demons we face. For all of us who have tossed and turned and decided to keep the lanterns lit and go searching - hoping that just maybe, when the clock strikes twelve… we’ll meet ourselves."A photo showed the artist holding a lighter, along with the unnamed 13 tracks of her 10th album.
"We lie awake in love and in fear, in turmoil and in tears," Swift wrote while describing the inspiration behind her new album. "We stare at walls and drink until they speak back. We twist in our self-made cages and pray that we aren’t - right in this minute - about to make some fateful life-altering mistake."Needless to say, fans can't calm down. As one fan wrote on Twitter, "THIS IS NOT A DRILL." Meanwhile, inside the VMAs venue, screams were so loud when she announced the new album, an eyewitness told E! News.
She last released Evermore in December 2020, followed by her re-recorded Fearless (Taylor's Version) and Red (Taylor's Version) in 2021. Her upcoming album will be her first of the year.
