What Is The Album About?
Swift revealed that the album is a “collection of music written in the middle of the night, a journey through terrors and sweet dreams.” “For all of us who have tossed and turned and decided to keep the lanterns lit and go searching — hoping that just maybe, when the clock strikes twelve … we’ll meet ourselves,” she wrote online.
The ‘Look What You Made Me Do’ singer confirmed that there will be 13 (her lucky number!) new songs on the album, though she didn’t reveal the track titles. There will also be a deluxe version of the album available at Target, which will include three bonus tracks. Regarding the genre, the album is listed as pop on Target’s website.
In a video shared on social media, Swift confirmed that producer Jack Antonoff collaborated on the new album as they’re shown in the studio together.

However, 1975 frontman Matty Healy later shut down those rumors, saying, “I would love that! But unfortunately FAKE NEWS :(“
