ET – Taylor Swift is releasing her second album of 2020! Following the surprise July release of her eighth studio album, folklore, the 30-year-old singer announced on Thursday that her ninth album, evermore, will drop at midnight Eastern time on Friday, Dec. 11.
“I’m elated to tell you that my 9th studio album, and folklore’s sister record, will be out tonight at midnight Eastern. It’s called evermore,” Swift wrote alongside a pic of herself from behind, rocking a French braid and a plaid coat. “To put it plainly, we just couldn’t stop writing songs. To try and put it more poetically, it feels like we were standing on the edge of the folklorian woods and had a choice: to turn and go back or to travel further into the forest of this music. We chose to wander deeper in.”
In a second post, Swift shared the track list for the album, which will include 15 songs on the standard edition and 17 on its deluxe counterpart. It was in this post that Swift revealed that the album includes collaborations with Haim, The National and Bon Iver.
Ever since I was 13, I’ve been excited about turning 31 because it’s my lucky number backwards, which is why I wanted to surprise you with this now. You’ve all been so caring, supportive and thoughtful on my birthdays and so this time I thought I would give you something! pic.twitter.com/wATiVSTpuV
