Just as Taylor Swift’s last album, “Folklore” felt like it was released out of thin air, only hours after it was announced, the artist is at it again. Her next album, which she announced today, titled “Evermore” will be arriving to eager fans with lightning speed, on Friday, December 11. Swift describes her upcoming album release as “Folklore’s sister record”.
The surprise release will come just shy of Taylor’s 31st birthday on December 13th, a little pre-birthday gift for her fans, she said:
“Ever since I was 13, I’ve been excited about turning 31 because it’s my lucky number backwards, which is why I wanted to surprise you with this now. You’ve all been so caring, supportive and thoughtful on my birthdays and so this time I thought I would give you something!”
