“I know that I have a habit of dropping cryptic clues and Easter eggs when giving information about new music, and I’m not here to deny that, but I am here to defy that,” she said in her first video.
#Swifty blue series
21, Swift announced on TikTok that she would start revealing the Midnights tracklist one song at a time in a series she calls “Midnights Mayhem With Me,” where she randomly draws one of 13 balls from a “technologically advanced device” (a bingo cage) that will determine which song title she will reveal. When announcing the album, Swift revealed Midnights will have 13 tracks (13 is her favorite number after all), but did not reveal the song titles, with the cover art simply listing “Track One,” “Track Two,” and so forth. But alas, Swift’s surprise VMAs gift was instead her 10th studio album.Īlso - 10+2+1 = 13, which is her favorite number.

Fans have also been waiting for Speak Now and 1989 to be re-recorded. For example, this VMAs takes place 13 ceremonies after Swift and Kanye West’s notorious 2009 exchange, and Swift’s “Look What You Made Me Do”-esque dress could also be seen as a nod to that night and, as a result, her Reputation album. Swifties had predicted that Swift might be announcing something during the VMAs - but most of those theories centered on the next re-recording, not an album of new songs. In an accompanying image, she sits at a dimly lit desk with a phone in her hand. The album art features a closeup of Swift in shimmery blue eyeshadow, holding a lighter. 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. “The floors we pace and the demons we face. “This is a collection of music written in the middle of the night, a journey through terrors and sweet dreams,” she continued. We twist in our self-made cages and pray that we aren’t - right this minute - about to make some fateful life-altering mistake.” “We stare at walls and drink until they speak back.

“We lie awake in love and fear, in turmoil and in tears,” she began. The project will tell “the stories of 13 sleepless nights scattered throughout my life,” as Swift announced in a letter posted to social media. 29, she revealed the name of TS10: Midnights. Swift’s promise to reveal details at midnight turned out to be extremely prescient because, during the first seconds of Aug.

Here’s what we know about Swift’s Midnights. 21, hours after the album finally dropped, Swift revealed 7 bonus tracks, sending fans into a frenzy. Swifties soon discovered that this new release would be an entirely fresh studio album, which will comprise of 13 new tracks, two music videos released during the album release week, and some special surprises along the way. The VMAs ended less than an hour before midnight, and Swift told fans to wait until midnight to learn more about what was to come. Having won for “Bad Blood” in 2015 and “You Need to Calm Down” in 2019, Swift is now the most-awarded artist ever in the category. While the surprise announcement of a new album was the major moment of Swift’s speech, it’s worth noting that her Video of the Year win was quietly historic. While accepting Video of the Year, Swift announced that a new album - aka TS10 - is officially on the way very soon. 28 ceremony ended with a major reason for Swifties to celebrate. As if Taylor Swift’s self-directed “All Too Well” short film winning three awards at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards wasn’t exciting enough, the Aug.
