Taylor Swift dropped a bombshell of an announcement last night at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards, and it is something that fans did not anticipate at all.

Right after receiving the Video of the Year Award for "All To Well (10-Minute Version)," Taylor Swift announced that her new album would be released this coming October 21.

Afterward, Taylor also said that by 12 midnight, more album details would be available.

To Swifties' realization of the announcement's timing, Taylor Swift's new album release date falls on a specific date, which is quite relevant to the singer's music career.

Taylor Swift New Album 'Midnights' Release Date Meaningful?

By the time hits midnight, Taylor released the full details of her upcoming new album, "Midnights."

"Midnights, the stories of 13 sleepless nights scattered throughout my life, will be out October 21. Meet me at midnight," the announcement says.

Aside from the album description and the estimated new songs to be released, Swifties has taken a deeper look at the album's release date - which is October 21, 2022.

A user tweeted that October 21, Taylor Swift's New Album 'Midnights' Release date, is the same day as Kim Kardashian's 42nd birthday. While the theory might seem farfetched, true-blooded Swifties might understand the reference.

Coincidentally, the infamous incident between Taylor Swift and Kanye West happened at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, where Kanye, Kim Kardashian's estranged husband, took the limelight on Swift's acceptance award.

It has been 13 years since the incident happened, which also corresponds to the new 13 tracks that "Midnights" include.

Aside from the release date and the track numbers, fans have also pointed out the likelihood that one of the album's tracks will reference the night that the MTV blunder happened.

Based on the description, the album will detail the stories of Taylor's 13 sleepless nights, a journey of terrors and sweet dreams, all scattered throughout her life, which would make sense since the "All Too Well" hitmaker has repeatedly referred back to that moment as a thing that pushed her forward to make better music.

Lastly, fans have noticed that her recent 2022 VMAs dress is strikingly similar to the 2009 VMAs dress she wore during the Kanye incident.

To date, it would be unlikely that Taylor will confirm such theories, although she is known to drop some easter eggs from here and there from time to time.

Taylor Swift received three Moonman awards this year, Video of the Year, Best Longform Video, and Best Direction, all for "All Too Well."
