Taylor Swift consistently released a new album every two years ever since she launched her debut album in 2006. All of them, save for "Fearless," were launched in October, and because of this, fans hoped she would launch a new album last October. This did not come to pass, but an album may still be on the way.
As pointed out in a report from Digital Spy, "Fearless" is the only album Swift did not launch in October, and it was, instead, released in November. This indicates that Swift may still launch her newest album within this month, otherwise she'd be breaking a 10-year tradition with her music.
The report also points out that when she does release her new album, it is likely going to be in the same pop genre as her previous two efforts, "Red" and "1989."
Swift may no longer be returning to her country roots given the level of success she has had in pop music. Both albums sold better than any of her country albums. Her "1989" world tour alone grossed over $250 Million and is considered one of the most successful tours in history.
According to the report, it is also possible that the lyrics in the new album will tackle some of the issues she has gone through in the past two years, such as her relationship with Tom Hiddleston and Calvin Harris. It may also have lyrics pertaining to her feud with Kanye West and the Kardashians.
Hollywood Life also reports that the album may be pushed back to next year because Swift might be working to collaborate with Drake. Drake reportedly approached her during her "1989" tour, and Swift also admitted she was a big fan of his music. They both had to put the project behind for a while due to their schedules, but they are now free to get into the studio together.
