During her acceptance speech for winning Video of the Year for “All Too Well (Taylor’s Version)” at this Sunday’s MTV VMAs, Taylor Swift announced new music to her fans.
The star won three awards at this year’s event, which took place at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.
While collecting the second award – Video Of The Year for ‘All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor’s Version)’, Swift broke the news to her fans. “My brand-new album comes out October 21,” she said on stage. “I will tell you more at midnight.”
No more details or news on a lead single, but there is this introductory message:
We lie awake in love and in fear, in turmoil and in tears. We stare at walls and drink until they speak back. We twist in our self-made cages and pray that we aren’t – right this minute – about to make some fateful life-altering mistake.
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.
Midnights, the stories of 13 sleepless nights scattered throughout my life, will be out October 21. Meet me at midnight.
‘Midnights’ marks her first collection of all-new material since 2020’s Evermore. However, Swift has since released updated versions of her earlier albums Fearless and Red. Both re-releases were rerecorded and feature several new songs from her vault of unreleased material.
