21 iconic reactions to the Taylor Swift album announcement before we meet her at Midnight

Taylor Swift has announced that her 10th studio album, titled Midnights, will be ours on October 21st – I haven’t known peace since. I will not know peace til I get to listen to it in its inevitably breathtakingly gorgeous entirety, which I will do … at midnight. I personally received the Swift news as it happened and in the midst of a night out, drunkenly screaming at every gay around me that a pop music emergency was steadily unfolding in front of our very eyes. Of course, the chill-less Swifties let absolutely nobody down and have reacted to the news in the best ways humanly possible: Tweets and memes. Here are all the best reactions to the Midnights announcement, the new album by Taylor THEE Swift.

1. I need to book annual leave for all these locations she’s sending us to

3. I just know it will be the best thing I’ve ever heard

taylor swift didn’t write “it’s 2 am feeling like i just lost a friend” and “lit through the darkness at 1:58” and “the lingering question kept me up, 2AM who do you love?” and “i want your midnights” for this to not become one of her greatest albums

Remember when we were all begging Taylor Swift to release another album of songs we mostly already heard before and then she just announced a whole new concept album of songs that sound like they could kill us all?
