To mark the beginning of release week, Taylor posted an animated video to her Instagram that showed a calendar adorned with the songstress' trademark scrawl – every day of the 'Midnights Manifest' displays a treat from Taylor to the fans.

She captioned the clip: "Mark your calendars! Meet the Midnights Manifest."
