Taylor Swift has just released her brand new album and ninth record, Evermore.

Just months after dropping the critically-acclaimed Folklore, the US artist has surprised fans yet again with the new album, again co-produced by Aaron Dessner and Jack Antonoff.

"To put it plainly, we just couldn’t stop writing songs," Swift said today.

"To try and put it more poetically, it feels like we were standing on the edge of the folklorian woods and had a choice: to turn and go back or to travel further into the forest of this music. We chose to wander deeper in. I’ve never done this before.

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


Evermore sees Swift collaborate again with Bon Iver, while the record also features collabs with The National and Haim. 

Following its release in July, Folklore smashed a number of records including breaking the record for first-day album streams on Spotify by a female artist (80.6 million) and becoming the most streamed pop album on Apple Music in 24 hours with (35.47 million streams).

Folklore is also up for two Grammys next month - Album Of The Year and Best Pop Vocal Album.
