Out of nowhere, Taylor Swift has caught her fans by surprise by releasing her 8th studio album at midnight called Folklore. According to the modern pop legend, she stated “I’ll be releasing my entire brand new album of songs I’ve poured all of my whims, dreams, fears, and musings into.”

The album has been co-written and produced by Aaron Dessner and mixed by Serban Ghenea and Jon Low. Bon Iver also co-wrote one of the 16 songs and sang the song with Swift. Laura Sisk took the task on of engineering the album. Taylor Swift also stated via social media, “Before this year I probably would’ve overthought when to release this music at the ‘perfect’ time, but the times we’re living in keep reminding me that nothing is guaranteed. My gut is telling me that if you make something you love, you should just put it out into the world.”

Taylor Swift’s new album is available now on Spotify, iTunes and all other major streaming platforms. Go and check it out!
