Taylor Swift drops 7 surprise tracks in Midnights (3am Edition)

Pop superstar Taylor Swift last night released her long awaited tenth studio album Midnights, however, at 3am EST fans waited with baited breath for a "special very chaotic announcement" teased by the singer earlier this week.

Many fans had theorised it would be a highly-anticipated Taylor tour, but at the stroke of 3am(8am Irish time), Spotify tweeted, announcing a special edition of the new album in form of Midnights (3am Edition).

This edition of the album includes seven previously unannounced tracks, 'The Great War', 'Bigger Than The Whole Sky', 'Paris', 'High Infidelity', 'Glitch', 'Would've, Could've, Should've', and 'Dear Reader'.

Surprise! I think of Midnights as a complete concept album, with those 13 songs forming a full picture of the intensities of that mystifying, mad hour. However! There were other songs we wrote on our journey to find that magic 13.https://t.co/jjqUNkpPke pic.twitter.com/LKI3GmpPRF

The already 13-track-long release has been widely acclaimed as the singer's best album yet, with the Independent giving it 100/100 - a perfect 5 star review.

And Blondie isn't done yet! Fans are still waiting to hear when news of a tour will drop after Taylor's website provided pre-sale codes for upcoming dates all last week.

Of course, there's still the 'Anti-Hero' music video to drop later today, which is rumoured to be a 'All Too Well' style short film. Taylor has also teased the release of another music video, coming early next week.

Having announced at yesterday's Thursday Night Football on Prime Video that Midnights would be a visual album, it can be assumed there's many more music videos to come from the artist.

Dedicated Taylor Swift fans have taken to Twitter to showcase their love for the album already.

One fan has said: "i said it once and i’ll never stop saying it taylor swift IS the music industry miss girl can do whatever she pleases and we will eat it up. re-record her albums? you bet! 30 track album? sure! 10 minute song? check! drop an album and then drop 7 more songs at 3am? why not!?"

Even Ireland's beloved Richard Chambers of Virgin Media has chimed in, letting fans know that Swift has referenced Ireland in one of her tracks. "Taylor Swift with love for the Garden of Ireland in one of her new songs," Chambers tweeted.
