"A collection of songs and stories that flowed like a stream of consciousness. Picking up a pen was my way of escaping into fantasy, history and memory. I've told these stories to the best of my ability with all the love, wonder and whimsy they deserve. Now it's up to you to pass them down. Folklore is out now," the 30-year-old musician wrote.

Along with the announcement of the album, the singer also dropped the official music video of the new song Cardigan.

In the four-minute and 34-second music video, Swift is first seen playing the piano inside a cozy room and she sees some magical forces coming from her piano. She takes a leap and finds herself in between a forest and later in an ocean and finally returning to her room.

The official music video of Cardigan was premiered in the YouTube handle of the singer and has garnered more than one million viewers in nearly three hours of its release.

Folklore comes a couple months after the singer surprised fans with a concert special called Taylor Swift City of Lover Concert in May. The show marked her only concert performance this year, after her Lover Fest tour was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Folklore also arrives the same week that Swift's Lover Fest tour was expected to kick off with just two stops in NFL stadiums.
