Taylor Swift made a surprise album announcement Sunday night after winning big at the MTV Video Music Awards.
The singer-songwriter was nominated for five awards for her music video “All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor’s Version),” winning three of those awards:
- Best Longform Video
- Best Direction
- Video of the Year
While accepting the award for Video of the Year, Swift said, “I thought it might be a fun moment to tell you that my brand-new album comes out Oct. 21,” according to Page Six.
“I will tell you more at midnight,” she said, before leaving the stage.
This will be Swift’s 10th album (not including her recent re-recordings of “Fearless” and “Red”) and her first new music since “Folklore” and “Evermore” in 2020, according to Rolling Stone.
The album will be titled “Midnights,” Swift announced at Midnight on Twitter.
Midnights, the stories of 13 sleepless nights scattered throughout my life, will be out October 21. Meet me at midnight.
