Taylor Swift releases ninth studio album “Evermore” at midnight

Taylor Swift was inspired and productive during the pandemic. The superstar singer announced on Thursday via Twitter that she was releasing a new album entitled “Evermore” at midnight. It’s a “sister record” to Swift’s “Folklore” album, which was released in July.

“Folklore” was the first music album to sell a million copies in 2020.

“To be clear, we just couldn’t stop writing songs,” wrote Swift. “To be more poetic, it feels like we were standing on the edge of the folkloric forest and had a choice: to turn around and go back or to travel further into the forest of this music. We decided to wander deeper into it.”

The album will contain 15 songs and will cost $ 9.99 for a digital copy of the record. “Evermore” is Swift’s ninth studio album and has two bonus tracks as part of its Deluxe Edition.

In addition, a music video for a new track called “Willow” will be released at midnight. Like the music video for “Cardigan,” “Willow” was shot during the pandemic and “every precaution” was taken to ensure the safety of Swift and the crew who shot the video.

“I’ve never done this before,” said Swift. “In the past I always treated albums as one-time epochs and planned the next one after an album was released. Folklore was different. When I made it, I felt less like leaving and more like returning.”

Like “Folklore”, “Evermore” was written and co-produced by Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner of National. Swift also hinted at some unnamed employees.
