Taylor Swift surprise-announced that she will be releasing her eighth studio album, “Folklore,” at midnight tonight — July 24th. In a social media posts, Swift explained that the album …

At some point on Thursday evening she will release a music video for the song “Cardigan,” which she directed, noting that the shoot was “overseen by a medical inspector, everyone wore masks, stayed away from each other, and I even did my own hair, make-up and styling.”

She described the album as “entire brand new album of songs I’ve poured all of my whims, dreams, fears and musings into… 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. That’s the side of uncertainty I can get on board with.

The album is also a change in direction in that Dessner co-wrote or produced 11 of the 16 songs — a role Antonoff has played on her last three albums. She did not elaborate on Antonoff’s contributions but said he is “basically musical family at this point.” Bon Iver co-wrote several tracks and sang on the album, while Bowery — a new collaborator, which may be a pseudonym — co-wrote two songs.

Aaron Dessner wrote on social media that Swift approached him to co-write some songs in late April. “I thought it would take awhile for song ideas to come and I had no expectations as far as what we could accomplish remotely,” he admits. “But a few hours after sharing music, my phone lit up with a voice memo from Taylor of a fully written version of a song — the momentum never really stopped.”

The music video for “cardigan” will premiere tonight, which I wrote/directed. A million thank you’s to my brilliant, bad ass video team – Cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto, producer Jil Hardin, executive producer Rebecca Skinner, AD Joe ‘Oz’ Osbourne

Taylor Swift will drop a surprise new album tonightThe world has less than one day to prepare for 'Folklore,' Taylor Swift's eighth studio album. She wrote and recorded it entirely in isolation with help from co-writers, she says. Shame she doesn't stay in isolation. Nothing worse than a celebrity who starts believing they're some type of above average person who people should drop everything to acknowledge & praise. How should we prepare for this Please tell us how. I'm getting really, really anxious here!! CNN Amen
