This just in: Taylor’s eight studio album “folklore” drops tonight at midnight!

This is happening. This is not a drill. Ooga. Ooga.

Without a warning shot, the Sparkly Dressed is dropping her 8th studio album tonight, July 23rd, at the stroke of midnight. We’re not ready – at all. The unexpected (but somehow eagerly anticipated) TS8 entitled “folklore” in all lowercase, will have 16 songs on the standard edition. The eight physical deluxe editions will include a bonus track “the lakes” which will come as eight CDs and as eight vinyls available for 1 week, each with unique covers and photos. She’s not holding back any punches here.

At this point you’ll probably want to hear it from the woman herself so I will hush. Take it away, Tay! 🙂

Surprise 🤗 Tonight at midnight I’ll be releasing my 8th studio album, folklore; an entire brand new album of songs I’ve poured all of my whims, dreams, fears, and musings into. Pre-order at https://t.co/zSHpnhUlLb pic.twitter.com/4ZVGy4l23b

The music video for “cardigan” will premiere tonight, which I wrote/directed. A million thank you’s to my brilliant, bad ass video team – Cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto, producer Jil Hardin, executive producer Rebecca Skinner, AD Joe ‘Oz’ Osbourne pic.twitter.com/2hNXnzFbwY

Editor Chancler Haynes, special effects wizards David Lebensfeld & Grant Miller and set designer Ethan Tobman. The entire shoot was overseen by a medical inspector, everyone wore masks, stayed away from each other, and I even did my own hair, makeup, and styling 😂

Additionally she will also serve up a music video for the track “cardigan” which she has wrote/directed herself. Yeap. Yikes.

On other news, here at the Swift Agency, just a guy who’s birthday is tonight at midnight, we already know what we’re getting. Hopefully those guys from the Ninja Department will not eat the cake…. 😉
