Taylor Swift’s big story behind the release date of her next album
Once again, Taylor Swift is taking the internet by storm with the announcement of her 10th album. At the VMAs on Sunday, Aug. 28, 2022 Taylor (drunkenly, according to fan speculation) announced the release of her new album “Midnights,” which will be released on October 21. The world is buzzing with excitement and preparing itself for whatever Taylor has up her sleeve this time.
On August 28, Taylor posted the announcement on her Instagram page. The album contains 13 tracks; each track is described as a “sleepless night” in her life. “This is a collection of music written in the middle of the night, a journey through terrors and sweet dreams,” Taylor writes. She states that this album is “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”. The image, already being investigated for easter eggs by myself and other fans, exhibits Swift hunched over in a chair in a softly lit room, with one hand resting on her head and the other loosely holding a telephone.
In only two years, Swift has released a whopping total of four albums. This includes two new albums, “Folklore” and “Evermore,” one of which won a Grammy for “Album of the Year”. The third and fourth albums are reproductions of her earlier albums, “Fearless (Taylor’s Version)” and “Red (Taylor’s Version)”. Taylor works hard and consistently dominates the charts.
Social media is already covering all of the conspiracy theories regarding Taylor’s new album. Taylor is well known for her lucky number thirteen, which is coincidentally the same number as the number of tracks on her upcoming album “Midnights”.
However, one of the most important conspiracies regards the dates Taylor is releasing “Midnights.” Concerning the date of the album announcement, let’s travel back to the 2009 VMAs. Thirteen years ago, almost to the day, an infamous VMA scandal occurred. Taylor had just received her award for “Best Video by a Female Artist,” when Kanye West stormed the stage and ruined her speech, claiming Beyonce should have won the award. This pop culture moment will live on forever and was the start of one of the biggest internet scandals of all time. All of this to say, Swift is an expert at comebacks, and the fact that she announced her new album 13 years after the Kanye incident certainly is no coincidence. In regards to the actual release date for “Midnights,” there is almost too much drama to cover in one article. To put it simply, October 21 is Kim Kardashian’s birthday. It also just so happens to be National Reptile Awareness Day. Or for pop culture lovers, National Snake Day.
Taylor’s album announcement has shocked fans all over the world and has everyone counting down the days until midnight on October 21. Anticipation is high, as there is wondering what scandal might occur from Taylor’s new album. “Midnights” is available for preorder on Taylor’s website and can be accessed on all streaming platforms on October 21.
