During her acceptance speech for winning Video of the Year for "All Too Well (Taylor's Version)" at this Sunday's (August 28) MTV VMAs, Taylor Swift announced new music to her fans.

“My brand new album comes out October 21,” she said to a cheering crowd. “And I will tell you more at midnight.”

Swift revealed on social media her next full-length album, along with a message: "We lie awake in love and in fear, in turmoil and in tears. We stare at walls and drink until they speak back. We twist in our self-made cages and pray that we aren't - right this minute - about to make some fateful life-altering mistake.

This is a collection of music written in the middle of the night, a journey through terrors and sweet dreams. The floors we pace and the demons we face. For all of us who have tossed and turned and decided to keep the lanterns lit and go searching - hoping that just maybe, when the clock strikes twelve... we'll meet ourselves.

Midnights, the stories of 13 sleepless nights scattered throughout my life, will be out October 21. Meet me at midnight."

She didn't mention the song titles, instead listing "Track One," "Track Two," Track Three," up through "Track Thirteen." Although there's a chance that those are the actual song titles.

Tonight's award marks Swift’s third time taking home the Best Music Video trophy, making her the artist with the most VMAs Video of the Year awards with three wins. Swift previously earned the award with 2015’s “Bad Blood” and 2019’s “You Need to Calm Down.” Three artists have won the award twice: Beyoncé (for “Single Ladies” and “Formation”), Rihanna (for “Umbrella” and “We Found Love”), and Eminem (for “The Real Slim Shady” and “Without Me”).

Ranking The 2022 MTV VMAs Red Carpet Looks

The MTV VMAs were live at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey tonight, and the stars came out to shine. Many took fashion risks that paid off. Some, however, ended up looking more like a train wreck.

See the best and worst looks of the night below:

26. Chloe Fineman

The 'SNL' actress seemed to take inspiration from space with this look, but it looks more like a comforter cut out haphazardly.

25. Samy Hawk

We were digging the singer's neon graffiti leather jacket featuring a zombie Bart Simpson, but that green hat kills the whole thing and makes it far too chaotic.

24. Luna Clipse

The rapper seems to be evoking Joker energy with the remnants of some kind of face paint and his straight-jacket ensemble outfitted with locks.

23. Khalid

Khalid's purple pants and shoes are so cool-looking, but they totally clash with the busy pattern of his shirt.

22. Justina Valentine

The rapper looks like she wants to be a superhero -- a fabulous one at that.

21. Druski

The comedian looks to be having the time of his life at the red carpet, wearing shorts with his black suit ensemble.

20. Ryan Castro

The singer is bringing winter fashion to Newark in August. Though we love the jacket and pants, it doesn't work with the season. It's hot in New Jersey tonight!

19. Lizzo

As much as we would love to give Lizzo props for this daring look, the dress completely swallows her whole and looks like curtains were draped over her body.

18. Jack Harlow

The most-nominated man of the night kept it cool in an all-leather look.

17. BLACKPINK

The superstar K-poppers looked chic in matching black ensembles.

16. Offset

The Migos member wore an all-white ensemble for his first solo awards show appearance.

15. Latto

The rockers never miss when it comes to coordinating edgy and sexy outfits with perfect hair.

13. Valentina Ferrer

The Argentinian model brought enough class and high fashion to go around at the VMAs.

12. Dometi Pongo

Who can resist a handsome man in a powder blue suit? Not us.

11. Becky G

We are loving the attention to detail with Becky G's stained glass-inspired maxi dress.

10. Dove Cameron

The singer never ceases to amaze us on red carpets with her style and beauty. Though not our favorite look of hers, Dove combines romance and edginess.

9. Bob the Drag Queen

Bob the Drag Queen perfectly combines looking sharp and dapper with feminine and flowy.

8. Monét X Change

We are loving EVERYTHING about this look! From the orange floral bell-bottoms, to the daisy top, to the pom pom hair buns, this look is a hippie's heaven.
