Taylor Swift has revealed that we are getting a brand new album and fans don't have long to wait.

The American singer-songwriter, 32, made the surprise announcement as the MTV VMA Awards started to close in New Jersey.

The brand new album, titled Midnights, is set to be released later this year and explores “13 sleepless nights scattered throughout my life”.

The pop star described it as “a journey through terrors and sweet dreams”.

Swift later tweeted pictures of the album cover alongside a description, where she confirmed that the new music would arrive on October 21.

“We lie awake in love and in fear, in turmoil and in tears,” she wrote.

“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.”

She added: “Midnights, the stories of 13 sleepless nights scattered throughout my life, will be out October 21.

“Meet me at midnight.”

The post also teased a 13-song track-list, which showed a side A and side B, but fans couldn't see any individual track names.

As she accepted the final award of the night at the fan-voted ceremony, Swift thanked her supporters, who she said had “emboldened” her.

“I had sort of made up my mind that if you were going to be this generous and give us this (award) that it might be a fun moment to tell you that my brand new album comes out October 21.”

Fans have flooded social media in a frenzy to celebrate the singer's new music.

One user wrote:" just take my money now I'm gonna spend it all on this tour anyway".

Another person added:" OH MY GOD THIS IS HAPPENING THIS IS THE BEST NEWS".

A third fan wrote:" quickest buy of my life...thank you!!!!"

A fourth teased:" this is going to cure my insomnia."
