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

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
