Taylor Swift Releasing New Album evermore Tonight

HAIM, Bon Iver, and the National feature on an LP recorded because “we just couldn’t stop writing songs”

December 10, 2020

Taylor Swift has announced a new album, evermore, featuring tracks with HAIM, Bon Iver, and the National. It’s out December 10, at midnight Eastern. (That’s tonight.) “To put it plainly, we just couldn’t stop writing songs,” Swift wrote, describing the record as a companion to July’s folklore. She also indicated that, as with that album, Aaron Dessner and Jack Antonoff collaborate prominently. Check out the tracklist below.

At the same time as the album arrives, Swift will release a video for “willow,” which looks something like this. She will be answering questions on the video’s premiere page before it lands.

“In the past I’ve always treated albums as one-off eras and moved onto planning the next one after an album was released,” Swift wrote. “There was something different with folklore. In making it, I felt less like I was departing and more like I was returning.”

“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 [aka William Bowery aka Joe Alwyn], and Justin Vernon. We’ve also welcomed some new (and longtime) friends to our musical kitchen table this time around.…”

Downloads of evermore will come with a digital booklet with 16 photos, Swift wrote. The deluxe physical release comes with a pair of tracks not attached to digital editions.

In the past month, Swift has released a folklore film and live album and previewed her re-recording of Fearless track “Love Story.”
