Taylor Swift is good to us. She really is.

The Grammy-winning singer announced on Thursday she's releasing her ninth studio album, evermore at midnight ET on Thursday night.

The new album, Swift wrote on Twitter, is the sister album to her eighth album folklore — which was also announced as a surprise album in July 2020, at a time when many of needed it most.

The album release coincides with Swift's 31st birthday on Dec. 13.

The tracklist features some extremely exciting collaborations, including "no body, no crime" featuring Haim, "evermore" featuring Bon Iver, and "coney island" featuring The National. Plenty there to be pretty darn elated about, frankly.

In an Instagram post, Swift explained where she got the energy to produce another album this year. "To put it plainly, we just couldn’t stop writing songs," she wrote. "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."

She added that she created the songs for evermore with Aaron Dessner, Jack Antonoff, WB, and Justin Vernon, who also collaborated on folklore.

The music video for "willow" drops at midnight ET along with the album, so get ready.

As ever, Swift blesses us with an album when we truly need it.
