Taylor Swift Just Announced Her 8th Studio Album, And It Drops TONIGHT

Taylor Swift (Twitter)

Earlier this morning, Taylor Swift announced that she had a new album coming out. What really got fans shocked and excited was when they saw it was coming out TONIGHT. This comes after she had sort of "disappeared" from social media and wasn't as active, unless it was to post important things.

THE ANNOUNCEMENT

So I'll be honest, when I woke up this morning and saw she had tweeted, I thought nothing of it until I processed what it ACTUALLY said.

Surprise 🤗 Tonight at midnight I’ll be releasing my 8th studio album, folklore; an entire brand new album of songs… https://t.co/t7KPXQqLIL

This came as a shock to a lot of fans because her 7th studio album "Lover" came out a little under a year ago. Taylor is also known for holding "Secret Sessions" for her albums since 1989, but obviously due to the last minute announcement and the pandemic, she did not do that this time. Which brings up the question for fans: is she stopping the Secret Sessions for good?

The First Lead Single "cardigan"

Taylor is also known for having a lead single released weeks before an album is set to drop. This time, the first single from the album, "cardigan," will be dropping alongside a video tonight at midnight as well.

Taylor announced that the album, "folklore," will have 16 songs, with a bonus song if you purchase the deluxe edition. Just from the looks of the album and her updated website, this album gives off a calm, fall vibe. Which brings up the question, are there any upbeat pop songs like her previous 3 albums, or is she going a complete different direction with this album? Either way, I'm sure it'll be amazing!

How are fans responding after getting the news:

Do NOT make assumptions about Taylor’s relationship just because a new album is coming

As always, when Taylor is dropping a new album, some people like to think something happened in her love life. A good reminder here...

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

What It’s Like To Be A Strong Woman, As Told By Blair Waldorf

Queen B sums it up for us.

Stop Hollywood

For those of you who have watched "Gossip Girl" before (and maybe more than just once), you know how important of a character Blair Waldorf is. Without Blair, the show doesn’t have any substance, scheme, or drama. Although the beginning of the show started off with Blair’s best friend Serena returning from boarding school, there just simply is no plot without Blair. With that being said, Blair’s presence in the show in much more complex than that. Her independent and go-getter ways have set an example for "Gossip Girl" fans since the show started and has not ended even years after the show ended. Blair never needed another person to define who she was and she certainly didn’t need a man to do that for her. When she envisioned a goal, she sought after it, and took it. This is why Blair’s demeanor encompasses strong women like her.
