Taylor Swift announces new album, Midnights, to be released in October
Taylor Swift won the Video of the Year award at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards tonight (August 28) for her 10-minute song “All Too Well: The Short Film.” After accepting the award, Swift thanked her fans and revealed that her “brand new album“ will come out October 21.
The songwriter has an incredible work ethic, with her 2019 pop statement ‘Lover’ followed by the hushed intimacy of 2020 projects ‘Folklore’ and ‘Evermore’. Alongside these releases, Taylor has also been re-recording her early work, re-asserting control over her work in the process.
“You guys, I’m just so proud of what we made, and I know that every second of this moment that we wouldn’t have been able to make this short film if it weren’t for you, the fans,” she told the audience, while accepting the video of the year award for her song All Too Well (10-minute version).
“Because I wouldn’t be able to re-record my album [Red (Taylor’s Version)] if it weren’t for you. You emboldened me to do that. And I had sort of made up my mind that if you were going to be this generous and give us this, I thought it might be a fun moment to tell you that my brand new album comes out October 21st. And I will tell you more at midnight.”
She later revealed on Instagram that it’s called Midnights and features “the stories of 13 sleepless nights scattered throughout my life”; the album is now for sale on her website. An accompanying statement reads:

This was Swift’s third time taking home the trophy, which means she officially broke the record for the most VMAs Video of the Year awards. Swift previously earned the award with 2015’s “Bad Blood” and 2019’s “You Need to Calm Down.”
“I know with every second of this moment that we wouldn’t have been able to make this short film if it weren’t for you, the fans,” she said. “Because I wouldn’t be able to re-record my albums if it weren’t for you. You embolden me to do that. I had sort of made up my mind that if you were going to be this generous and give us this, I thought it might be a fun moment to tell you that my brand new album comes out October 21. And I will tell you more at midnight.”
Up until now, the record for most Video of the Year wins was tied between four artists, each of whom took home two awards: Swift, Beyoncé (“Single Ladies” and “Formation”), Rihanna (“Umbrella” and “We Found Love”), and Eminem (“The Real Slim Shady” and “Without Me”).
Midnights will be Swift’s 10th studio album, and her first album of new songs in almost two years.
‘Midnights’ is released on October 21st.
