Taylor Swift announces new album, Midnights, to be released in ... (The Guardian)

The 32-year-old singer used her acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards to reveal her 10th studio album is on the way.

Fearless (Taylor’s Version), Folklore and Evermore all hit No 1 in the UK in the space of 259 days, beating the record of 364 days set by the Beatles between 1965 and 1966. It remains to be seen whether Swift will continue on her progression away from the country music that made her a child star, and the pop sound of her early twenties. She started the project in order to regain ownership of her work, after music mogul Scooter Braun bought Swift’s former label in 2019 – and with it the master recordings of her back catalogue.

After making history, Taylor Swift clearly plans to make some more.

“I’m so honored to have been recognized alongside such amazing artists and directors in this category, and I just want to say I’m so heartened by the fact that, for the first time in VMA history, four of the directors nominated in the Video of the Year category are women.

But Swift is nothing if not calculated: If she moves deeper into film, she’s taking care to ensure that, meanwhile, her dominance in the pop sphere continues. Her short film for the song “All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor’s Version)” is also, fittingly, the longest music video ever to win in the category. [Tribeca Film Festival](https://www.elle.com/culture/celebrities/a40265035/taylor-swift-tribeca-film-festival-talk/); she’ll appear in the upcoming David O.

In classic Swiftian fashion, she used the moment not only to praise her devoted fan base, but to plug an upcoming project: her next album, dropping October 21.

Everything We Know About Taylor Swift's 'Midnights' So Far (Billboard)

Taylor Swift announced her upcoming 10th studio album 'Midnights' during the 2022 MTV VMAs. Here's everything we know so far about it.

Midnights would be Swift’s 11th album to top the chart, which would put her in a tie for third place with Streisand, Bruce Springsteen and Drake for the most No. [Billboard 200](https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200/) — and she’s already had 10 releases reach the peak position — she would tie Barbra Streisand for the most No. “The floors we pace and the demons we face. Customers will be able to purchase the record on CD, vinyl and cassette tape, with the first two options including thematically perfect “blue moonstone” marble-colored discs. A square photo of Swift wearing sparkly blue eye shadow and her trademark red lipstick, holding the flickering flame of a lighter close to her face, rests in the bottom right corner of the album’s artwork. It occupies maybe just over half of the full cover, bordered on the top and left side by minimalistic, off-white negative space. “I had made up my mind that if you were gonna be this generous, and give us this …” she began, holding up the award. We twist in our self-made cages and pray that we aren’t – right this minute – about to make some fateful life-altering mistake.” She later confirmed the date in her Instagram post that night. Swift posted a short description of the album’s content on Instagram and, oh man. She also updated her website to match her fast-approaching new era, though it crashed almost immediately, likely due to the amount of traffic it received from Swifties eager for more information. “And I will tell you more at midnight,” she added pointedly.

There was plenty of action on, around and above the MTV VMA stages at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, on Sunday night: Taylor Swift made a ...

“Was that Johnny Depp?” one audience member was heard saying about a minute after the first sequence was over. Speaking of Nicki Minaj, the crowd roared when she dropped the verse to “Monster” a capella. So I’m looking forward to seeing him [tonight].” Muller, who is putting the finishing touches on her album, also praised Nicki Minaj as a “powerhouse, and it’s really inspiring for girls to look up to people like her.” Fans chanted her name so loud the arena was shaking, especially after the rapper invoked Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson in a plea for mental health awareness. “We didn’t expect to win because we were nominated with so many great artists with longer careers than ours, so it’s a huge surprise.” Bassist Victoria de Angelis, who also alarmed MTV’s production team with pasties on her nipples, spoke of inspiring female musicians. A ripple of excitement passed through the entire carpet area when Taylor Swift, whose appearance had not even been rumored, arrived.

Taylor Swift Announces All-New Album, 'Midnights,' Set for October (Variety)

Taylor Swift has announced an all-new album coming this fall, 'Midnights,' her first collection of fresh material since 2020's 'Evermore.'

Earlier, at the close of the awards show, Swift said, “You guys, I’m just so proud of what we made, and I now that every second of this moment that we wouldn’t have been able to make this short film if it weren’t for you, the fans,” she said, accepting for “All Too Well (10-Minute Version).” “Because I wouldn’t be able to re-record my album [‘Red (Taylor’s Version),’ which included the winning song] if it weren’t for you. But this release will consist entirely of fresh material — her first such album since “Folklore” and “Evermore” both came out as surprise releases five months apart in 2020. And I had sort of made up my mind that if you were going to be this generous and give us this, I thought it might be a fun moment to tell you that my brand-new album comes out Oct. “We lie awake in love and in fear, in turmoil and in tears,” she wrote. The reveal of the album came during her climactic speech at the [MTV Video Music Awards](https://variety.com/t/mtv-video-music-awards/), as she accepted an award for video of the year, although she waited until midnight ET to reveal the name of the forthcoming record on her social media, along with not-quite-complete album art.

Taylor Swift announced her 10th studio album, 'Midnights', during her award acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) 2022.

The VMAs 2022 was also a major one for K-pop. Thus, fans were pleasantly surprised by the announcement of her new album. She has previously won it for “Bad Blood” (featuring Kendrick Lamar) in 2015 and “You Need to Calm Down” in 2019. 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,” she wrote. And I will tell you more at midnight.”
