Last week Taylor Swift blasted the cybersphere with messages about how this past Monday, August 13, she was going to have a live web chat. During the chat, fans could connect with her through Google+ Hangout and ask questions. But best of all, Taylor had some big news — and those watching the web chat would be the first to know!

Within seconds of starting the chat, Taylor announced that she had a new album coming out on October 22. Her fourth studio effort, this latest is called “Red” and while it’s similar to her last album, “Speak Now,” there are some major differences too.

Much like all of her past work, this album is about the range of experiences — and the emotions that go with them — that Taylor has experienced over the past two years. Jealousy, love, passion, anger, all of these are just some of those emotions she’s felt and, as Taylor says, there’s “nothing beige” about them and that’s what makes them “so fun to write about.”

But while Taylor’s still singing about her emotions, there is a difference. Unlike “Speak Now,” which she wrote single-handedly, she says that this album is “full of co-writes and co-producers and collaborations” that has allowed her to work with some of her music “heroes.”

Along with the album, Taylor also announced that a tour to promote it is also being planned; although she gave very few details regarding a tour. She did mention that there were a total of 16 tracks on the new album, “not including bonus tracks here and there.”

For the grand finale, Taylor officially premiered her new single, “We are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” which is now available on iTunes and Google Play. To view the video in its entirety, you can find it on YouTube here.
