Swift told her 141 million followers on
Instagram that the album called "Evermore" would be released at
midnight ET (0500 GMT) on Thursday, along with a music video for
the first single "Willow."
Swift described the 15-track album as a "sister record" to
"Folklore," which she produced entirely during the coronavirus
lockdowns and released unexpectedly in July.
"Folklore," a change of style that showed an indie folk
sensibility, earned Swift some of the best reviews of her career
as well as triggering six Grammy nominations, including for the
coveted album of the year.
"To put it plainly, we just couldn't stop writing songs," Swift
wrote on Thursday.
"I loved the escapism I found in these imaginary/not imaginary
tales. I loved the ways you welcomed the dreamscapes and
tragedies and epic tales of love lost and found into your lives.
So I just kept writing them," she added.
The singer-songwriter said the "Evermore" team again included
alternative artist Bon Iver and Aaron Dessner, guitarist with
indie rock band The National.
The mysterious William Bowery, who Swift last month revealed was
a pseudonym for her British actor boyfriend Joe Alwyn, is also
credited as a co-writer on the new album.
