Taylor Swift shocked fans on Thursday, when she announced that she would be releasing her surprise album, Evermore, at midnight on Friday. Trail of Easter eggs: Taylor Swift left fans a trail of Easter eggs as she dropped hints ahead of the surprise release of her new album Evermore Earlier this week, she posted a tweet thanking the Los Angeles Times for their glowing review of Folklore, ending her post with nine Christmas trees. Outfit: She recently posed in a festive red Stella McCartney gown for an Entertainment Weekly shoot, writing as she shared it, 'This outfit really screams 'TIS THE DAMN SEASON' 'Tis The Season, indeed: And, who'd have guessed it, rather than scream it Taylor is singing it, as one of the tracks on her album is actually entitled ’Tis The Damn Season Of course, as we now know, Willow is the first song on Evermore, and a music video to accompany the track premiered on Friday. Snapshot: She recently shared a snapshot of herself shared on Instagram just a few weeks ago – with framed pictures of a willow tree and ivy leaves in the background Spot the theme: As has already been established, Willow is the first track from the album, while Ivy is Evermore's tenth While it's no Easter egg, Taylor's penchant for mirrored creative patterns is also on display, as the 13th track on Folklore, called Epiphany, was inspired by her granddad. The music video for her first single Willow will be unveiled alongside the album at midnight, with Taylor sharing a sneak peak by posting a snap of herself in a white lace dress Alongside her announcement, Taylor shared two images one showing her from behind while in the other she walked through the countryside while dressed in a red-and-black Stella McCartney coat.
