It's been a long time since Taylor Swift attended the VMAs, however, this year, the artist did. Not only because she was nominated several times, but for a reason that only she and her team knew. Taylor Swift has announced a new album. Swift dropped the news while accepting the Video of the Year award, the third win for her 10-minute version of All Too Well during Sunday night's broadcast. Midnights, due out October 21, is his first new album since 2020's Folklore and Evermore.
"I wouldn't be able to re-record my albums if it weren't for you guys," Swift told her fans during her acceptance speech. "You've encouraged me to do it. And I had made up my mind that if you were going to be so generous and give us this [award], I thought it would be a fun time to tell you that my new album comes out on October 21. And I'll tell you more at midnight." She kept her promise and revealed on social networks that the album, as expected, contains 13 tracks
."This a collection of music written in the middle of the night, a journey through terrors and sweet dreams. The floors we pace and the demons we face. 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."
In addition to winning Video of the Year at the VMAs, Swift took home the award for Best Long Form Video and Best Directing. That streak may continue at the 2023 Academy Awards, where All Too Well is eligible to win an Oscar in the Best Live Action Short Film category.
