But, particularly with its robust offerings on physical media, the album has a strong possibility of becoming one of the year’s biggest commercial successes, rivaling releases like Harry Styles’s “Harry’s House” (which had the biggest opening of the year, thanks in part to “This is a collection of music written in the middle of the night, a journey through terrors and sweet dreams,” she added. “Midnights” will come too late to qualify for the next Grammy Awards; the eligibility window for the 65th annual ceremony closes on Sept.

Here's everything we know so far about Midnights by Taylor Swift, including the new album's release date, number of songs, Swiftie fan theories, ...

[Easter](https://parade.com/1147042/kelseypelzer/when-is-easter/) eggs and more. "Side A" will have the first six songs, and "Side B" houses the remaining seven. Every Swift album's fifth song is usually her most gut-wrenching and emotional lyrically. She announced that her next record will be called Midnights, sending fans into a tizzy just after midnight on Aug. Midnights will have 13 tracks—Swift's famous lucky number, of course. Here's what we do know so far: There will be 13 tracks on the album, divided into "Side A" and "Side B" (like for classic vinyl and cassette releases). The floors we pace and the demons we face. (And one Easter egg already figured out: "Midnights" may be a reference to the lyric "I want your midnights" from Swift's 2017 reputation closing track " [New Year's](https://parade.com/948122/marynliles/best-new-years-quotes/) Day." We twist in our self-made ages and pray that we aren’t—right this minute—about to make some fateful life-altering mistake," she wrote in her album announcement. While it's obviously possible (probable, even!) that these are both mere coincidences, in Swiftie-land, there are no coincidences.

Taylor Swift took home the top prize at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards before she closed out the show with a surprisingly big announcement: Her new album.

“I dedicate this to Taylor and his family,” he said. “Thank you to Fergie for coming out with me tonight and clearing this song,” said Harlow after “First Class” won the award for song of the summer later in the show. She earned her 69th nomination for her 14th studio album “Madame X.” "That I could become one of the biggest stars in the world without having to change my culture, my language, my jargon. “I have been saying it and I always believed from the beginning that I could become great," he said. “Folklore” won album of the year at the 2021 Grammy Awards. “I know with every second of this moment that we wouldn’t be able to make this short film if it weren’t for you - the fans," she said. Harlow, Lil Nas X and Kendrick Lamar each entered the awards tied for leading nominees with seven apiece. The 59-year-old actor appeared to float from the ceiling while wearing the iconic astronaut outfit with his face digitally inserted into custom’s helmet. To bring Fergie into the mix in this way means the world to me. "I wouldn’t be able to re-record my albums if it wasn’t for you. “I thought it would be a fun moment to tell you that my new album comes out Oct.

At midnight on Monday, Taylor Swift announced her next album, 'Midnights,' slated to release on October 21.

[long story short](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqQHa2HcGtM)” off of evermore. Fans have speculated that the 2014 track “ [Style](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CmadmM5cOk)” off of the 1989 album was about Swift’s relationship with Styles. “The floors we pace and the demons we face. [My Policeman](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osy4X0nTq78)—starring Harry Styles, who Swift formerly dated—releases on Oct. “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,” Swift said in her acceptance speech. “And I will tell you more at midnight.”

The awards insist on engineering a viral moment that just won't be for an audience they don't understand. Swift has a different strategy.

The VMAs may be holding to their last thread of relevance, but Swift’s buoyant multi-generational stan army and her command of social media prove the merit of an old-school celebrity with a streamlined publicity plan and media training. Swift was spotted [doing the same](https://twitter.com/PopCrave/status/1564060001987186691) at the conclusion of Nicki Minaj’s career-spanning medley, in an old-school pan-to-the-crowd clip that blew that entire “celebrities having fun together” airplane segment out of the water. While accepting the award that made her the most decorated Video of the Year winner of all time, she caused two good old-fashioned water-cooler moments MTV could only dream of. [absolutely bizarre appearance](https://www.avclub.com/johnny-depp-reportedly-appearing-at-vmas-1849451794) by a holographic Johnny Depp dressed as a Moon Man (although the accepted term is now Moon Person, believe you me: this was a Moon Man if ever one has existed.) Given Depp’s [current allegations](https://www.avclub.com/johnny-depp-amber-heard-what-did-we-learn-trial-verdict-1849005238), the trite moment took on a disgusting political undertone; essentially, MTV threw shit from TikTok at a wall to see what sticks, even if it’s a domestic-abuse-case-turned-fan-cam. Stacy “Fergie” Ferguson’s link-up with Jack Harlow for “First Class” was an event highlight, it’s telling that the show probably would’ve gained more traction if she had just performed “Glamorous” instead of contributing to Harlow’s middling interpolation of her hit, a snippet of which went viral all the way back in April. Historically, that subset was clear: the VMAs were for young people who cared about showbiz, the thin and thick of it, the high-brow to the low-brow. She strutted the red carpet in a [MTV Video Music Awards](https://www.avclub.com/the-best-and-worst-moments-from-the-2022-mtv-vmas-1849467192/slides/4), which were held last night at New Jersey’s Prudential Center, are often considered one of the worst offenders when it comes to pandering. Back then, Swift was a brand-new country crossover artist who hadn’t even hit her third decade of life. Ironically enough, the true conversation starter at this year’s VMAs was the very same person it was in 2009: Taylor Swift. With the early Wild West of the Internet in the rearview mirror, getting online attention is now down to a science with little to no serendipity involved. The fanfare of nominations and the weight of an Oscar still stand, but one

"Midnight" was a Swiftian songwriting motif long before the Grammy winner announced her 10th album.

Not the things I hate… Or the things that haunt me in the middle of the night.” Given that she’s now releasing an entire album on the latter, this manifesto no longer rings precisely true. (For the Easter egg collectors, the Spotify animations not only highlight “midnight” lyrics, but also other consequential Swiftian nights from “I Almost Do,” “Treacherous,” “The Archer,” “my tears ricochet,” and “hoax.”) The concept album also slots in nicely with the ongoing [re-recording project](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwju55jNsuz5AhWYK1kFHdUSAqsQFnoECAkQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.avclub.com%2Fscooter-braun-refutes-taylors-version-of-master-recor-1847162252&usg=AOvVaw1Ugt2odcP9P4fig_M_vx1w): since the tracks are all about midnights “scattered throughout [her] life,” Swift can use this record to nod to her previous “eras,” for which there are a handful more records to re-sell (and plenty of merchandise to hawk). “This is a collection of music written in the middle of the night, a journey through terrors and sweet dreams.

Swift made history as she was named the top winner of the evening, as she became the first artist to collect Video of the Year at the VMAs three times.

Taylor Swift announced her upcoming 10th studio album 'Midnights' during the 2022 MTV VMAs. Here's everything we know so far about it.

Midnights would be Swift’s 11th album to top the chart, which would put her in a tie for third place with Streisand, Bruce Springsteen and Drake for the most No. [Billboard 200](https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200/) — and she’s already had 10 releases reach the peak position — she would tie Barbra Streisand for the most No. “The floors we pace and the demons we face. Customers will be able to purchase the record on CD, vinyl and cassette tape, with the first two options including thematically perfect “blue moonstone” marble-colored discs. A square photo of Swift wearing sparkly blue eye shadow and her trademark red lipstick, holding the flickering flame of a lighter close to her face, rests in the bottom right corner of the album’s artwork. It occupies maybe just over half of the full cover, bordered on the top and left side by minimalistic, off-white negative space. “I had made up my mind that if you were gonna be this generous, and give us this …” she began, holding up the award. We twist in our self-made cages and pray that we aren’t – right this minute – about to make some fateful life-altering mistake.” She later confirmed the date in her Instagram post that night. Swift posted a short description of the album’s content on Instagram and, oh man. She also updated her website to match her fast-approaching new era, though it crashed almost immediately, likely due to the amount of traffic it received from Swifties eager for more information. “And I will tell you more at midnight,” she added pointedly.

Is there any truth behind the rumors of a feud between Taylor Swift and Carly Rae Jepsen? They're both releasing new albums ob October 21.

If the two musicians were to meet with each other at the studio to create some musical magic, it would make a lot of people in their fans quite happy. Someone responded by saying, “I would die for a Carly and Taylor collab." A few years before that, in 2015, Carly spoke up about being compared to Taylor at the time. Carly retweeted Taylor and said, “Thanks for adding ‘Want You in My Room’ to your new playlist,” with a yellow heart emoji. He is a talented lyricist who’s helped many albums come together over the years, including albums by [Lana Del Rey](https://www.distractify.com/p/lana-del-rey-dating). but I think they can make a fantastic pop song together."

These dance floor-worthy ensembles are certainly a far cry from the laid back, nature-forward looks she wore during her last album promo.
