Taylor Swift reveals jam-packed schedule for Midnights release
Midnights will be released on Friday 21st October. Here's when it comes out in your country.
In less than 24 hours, the icon herself Taylor Swift will be releasing her tenth (!!) studio album, Midnights – but what time does it come out in your country?
Midnights consists of 13 brand new songs (none of them were written for a previous album – they're all from a completely fresh batch!), one of which is a collaboration with Lana Del Rey. Taylor worked primarily with Jack Antonoff on the record, with Zoë Kravitz (yes, really), William Bowery (that's Joe Alwyn, in case you didn't know) and a handful of other writers contributing on a couple of the tracks.
We know Midnights will be released at midnight (duh!), but that's not the case for every one around the world. Here's exactly when Taylor Swift's Midnights is set to drop in your country.
Yes, Midnights does in fact come out at – you guessed it! – midnight, but it won't be released at midnight in every country. As usual, Midnights will be released at 12AM EST on Friday October 21st, which means the exact time will be different depending on where you live in the world.

Taylor Swift says Anti-Hero is one of her favourite songs she’s ever written
Taylor has explained that every single track on Midnights is a brand new track. None of them are left over from a past era or album, nor were they written during a specific era. She has explained that some of the inspirations behind the album are: “Wondering what might’ve been", "falling apart", "falling in love", "fantasising about revenge" and "self-loathing" – to name a few.
Here are the track titles that were revealed in the 'Midnights Mayhem with Me' videos:
