According to The Associated Press, Taylor Swift is releasing her next album, “Midnights,” in October, the 32-year-old singer announced Sunday at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards.

“I thought it would be a fun moment to tell you that my new album comes out Oct. 21,” she told the crowd after accepting the video of the year award for “All Too Well: The Short Film.” “I will tell you more at midnight.”

Swift took to social media to reveal more details about the surprise project, which she said tells “the stories of 13 sleepless nights.”

“We lie awake in love and in fear, in turmoil and in tears. We stare at walls and drink until they speak back. 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 tweeted at 12:01 EDT Monday.

“This is a collection of music written in the middle of the night, a journey through terrors and sweet dreams. The floors we pace and the demons we face. For all of us who have tossed and turned and decided to keep the lanterns lit and go searching – hoping that just maybe, when the clock strikes 12 ... we’ll meet ourselves.”

The post, which included a link to preorder the album, concluded: “Meet me at midnight.”

Swift’s last two albums consisting entirely of new music – “Folklore” and “Evermore” – came out in 2020, Variety reported. She also has been releasing rerecorded versions of her old albums periodically amid a dispute with record executive Scooter Braun, according to the news outlet.
