Taylor Swift Just Announced Her 8th Studio Album, And It Drops TONIGHT
Taylor Swift (Twitter)

Earlier this morning, Taylor Swift announced that she had a new album coming out. What really got fans shocked and excited was when they saw it was coming out TONIGHT. This comes after she had sort of "disappeared" from social media and wasn't as active, unless it was to post important things.


THE ANNOUNCEMENT

So I'll be honest, when I woke up this morning and saw she had tweeted, I thought nothing of it until I processed what it ACTUALLY said.

This came as a shock to a lot of fans because her 7th studio album "Lover" came out a little under a year ago. Taylor is also known for holding "Secret Sessions" for her albums since 1989, but obviously due to the last minute announcement and the pandemic, she did not do that this time. Which brings up the question for fans: is she stopping the Secret Sessions for good?


The First Lead Single "cardigan"

Taylor is also known for having a lead single released weeks before an album is set to drop. This time, the first single from the album, "cardigan," will be dropping alongside a video tonight at midnight as well.


About the album

Taylor announced that the album, "folklore," will have 16 songs, with a bonus song if you purchase the deluxe edition. Just from the looks of the album and her updated website, this album gives off a calm, fall vibe. Which brings up the question, are there any upbeat pop songs like her previous 3 albums, or is she going a complete different direction with this album? Either way, I'm sure it'll be amazing!


How are fans responding after getting the news:

As always, when Taylor is dropping a new album, some people like to think something happened in her love life. A good reminder here...


Fans are realizing differences between the new album and the past albums already...


NO ONE saw this coming!


Taylor single-handedly makes 2020 THAT much better


So THAT'S what Taylor has been doing during quarantine?! She's definitely more productive than half of us


Swifties are already looking for the easter eggs they missed

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
