“Most of the things I had planned this summer didn’t end up happening, but there is something I hadn’t planned on that DID happen,” Swift wrote. “And that thing is my 8th studio album, Folklore. Surprise ????.” The singer went on, “Tonight at midnight I’ll be releasing my entire brand new album of songs I’ve poured all of my whims, dreams, fears, and musings into. I wrote and recorded this in isolation but got to collaborate with some musical heroes of mine.”

Swift listed her fellow collaborators and co-writers on her latest album. Namely, Aaron Dressner, Bon Iver, William Bowery and Jack Antonoff. Engineers, Laura Sisk and Jon Low. Mixers, Serban Ghenea & Jon Low and Photographer, Beth Garrabant.
“If you make something you love, you should just put it out into the world”
In her announcement post, Swift explained that she was inspired by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic to release Folklore as soon as it was ready. Without even overthinking it. “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,” Swift said.
