Taylor Swift will release her ninth studio album “evermore” at midnight, her second surprise album of the year. The 15-track album is the follow-up to “folklore,” which he released just five months ago.
“To put it plainly, we couldn’t stop writing songs,” Swift wrote in the ad Thursday. “To try to put it more poetically, it feels like we’re standing on the edge of the folk woods and we have a choice: turn around and go back or travel deeper into the woods of this music. We choose to wander deeper.”
“Evermore” features some of the same creators who worked on “folklore,” including Aaron Dessner, Jack Antonoff, Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon, and William Bowery, a pseudonym Swift revealed as her boyfriend Joe Alwyn. The tracklist released for the album also features new collaborations with pop sister trio HAIM and rock band The National.
Swift will also release the official music video for her new song “willow” at midnight. Filmed in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemicSwift revealed that the music video was made with the help of a medical inspector, to keep the cast and crew healthy. Swift said her time in quarantine this summer allowed the artist to record in isolation and let her “imagination run wild,” while continuing to collaborate with some of her favorite artists.
“I’ve never done this before,” Swift wrote. “In the past, I always treated albums as unique times and went on to plan the next one after the album was released. The singer, who turns 31 on Sunday, said the album was a birthday present for her fans.
“Folklore” holds the Guinness World Record for the largest opening day of an album by a female artist after being streamed on Spotify more than 80.6 million times in the first 24 hours of its release.
Swift also described making “folklore” as less of a departure and more of a comeback, which helped “always more” exist. “I loved the escapism I found in these imaginary / non-imaginary tales,” he added. “I loved the way they embraced the dreamscapes, tragedies, and epic stories of lost and found love in their lives. So I kept writing them.”
