Taylor Swift is releasing a new album called evermore tonight (December 10). It’s out at midnight Eastern, and it features contributions from Haim, Bon Iver, and the National. In a tweet, Swift described the album as a companion to July’s folklore, and indicated that, as with that album, Aaron Dessner and Jack Antonoff are both prominent collaborators.
“Ever since I was 13, I’ve been excited about turning 31 because it’s my lucky number backwards, which is why I wanted to surprise you with this now,” Swift wrote. You’ve all been so caring, supportive and thoughtful on my birthdays and so this time I thought I would give you something!”
She added: “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. And I loved creating these songs with Aaron Dessner, Jack Antonoff, WB, and Justin Vernon. We’ve also welcomed some new (and longtime) friends to our musical kitchen table this time around…”
Also tonight, Swift will be releasing a video for the album track ‘willow’.
