As you hopefully know by now (how could you not?!?!), Taylor Swift is DROPPING A NEW ALBUM. AHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
It's called Midnights!!!!! And it's dropping Oct. 21!!!!!!!!!!!
Midnights, the stories of 13 sleepless nights scattered throughout my life, will be out October 21. Meet me at midnight. Pre-order now: https://t.co/jjqUNkphuG
Swift announced the album at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night in her acceptance speech for "Video of the Year," which she won for "All Too Well: The Short Film."
"I had sort of made up my mind that if you were going to be this generous and give us this, I thought it might be a fun moment to tell you that my brand new album comes out Oct. 21," Swift told the crowd, to wild cheers and applause.
Naturally, Swifties lost their marbles.
LITERALLY SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP MUSIC TO MY EARS THIS FEELS SO SURREAL
There was a whole lot of collective screaming, crying, throwing up, etc.

In fact, the phrase "SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP" actually trended on Twitter right after the announcement. Her power!
When the clock struck 12, Swift announced that the album would be titled Midnights. In an Instagram post, Swift described the concept for the album as "the stories of 13 sleepless nights scattered throughout my life."
"We lie awake in love and in fear, in turmoil and in tears. We stare at walls and drink until they speak back," she wrote. "We twist in our self-made cages and pray that we aren't — right this minute — about to make some fateful life-altering mistake."
“This is a collection of music written in the middle of the night, a journey through terrors and sweet dreams," the post continued. "The floors we pace and the demons we face. 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.”
Of course, people went even wilder, if that's even possible.
SHE LOOKS ABSOLUTELY MISERABLE OH THE MUSIC IS GOING TO DEVOUR
taylor swift’s midnights
Especially when people realized it was dropping on...Kim Kardashian's birthday.
ON KIM’S BIRTHDAY
Which seemed especially definitely not an accident considering Swift's look for the night, a clear homage to her dress in the "Look What You Made Me Do" video, which was in large part based on her feud with Kardashian and her then-husband Kanye West.
THE MOST OBVIOUS EASTER EGG EVER
(Which, of course, was itself an homage to Swift's dress at the 2009 VMAs, where Ye famously interrupted Swift's acceptance speech...which occurred 13 years ago, Swift's lucky number, and my god, am I sounding like I have a yarn wall in my apartment yet, or...?)
13 years later... This is Taylor Swift's revenge dress.
Anyway, now everyone is just impatiently waiting till Oct. 21 and theorizing what the album will be:
Imagine if Taylor Swift's Midnights album is just 13 white noise songs to fall asleep to
