“Most of the things I had planned this summer didn’t end up happening, but there is something I hadn’t planned on that DID happen. And that thing is my 8th studio album, Folklore. Surprise,” she wrote, adding she has poured all of her "whims, dreams, fears, and musings" into the brand new album.
The Me hitmaker collaborated with , who co-wrote or produced 11 of the 16 songs on the album; Bon Iver, who co-wrote and sings on one of the tracks; William Bowery, who co-wrote two songs and her frequent collaborator Jack Antonoff, who she said is basically musical family at this point."
Swift also gave due credit to the recording team who worked hard to put the album together.
"Engineering by Laura Sisk and Jon Snow, mixed by Serban Ghenea and Jon Low. The album photos were shot by the amazing Beth Garrabrant," she said.
The track list includes titles 'illicit affairs', 'mad woman', 'mirrorball', 'peace', 'august', and a bonus track 'the lakes'.
“Before this year I probably would’ve overthought when to release this music at the ‘perfect’ time, but the times we’re living in keep reminding me that nothing is guaranteed. My gut is telling me that if you make something you love, you should just put it out into the world. That’s the side of uncertainty I can get on board with,” Swift wrote.
She also said that the music video for the song Cardigan will premiere at midnight (US time).
