Taylor Swift's seventh studio album, "Lover," leaked one day before its official release date.
The 18 songs were uploaded on Thursday morning, around the same time that Swift took the stage in New York City to perform on ABC's "Good Morning America." Swift's two previous albums, "Reputation" and 2014's "1989," also leaked online before their official release dates.
Fans who have listened to the leaked music are already calling "Lover" the best album of her career.

"sorry rep... u are officially number 2," one fan wrote in a Reddit thread about "Lover" leaks and theories.
"This is my favorite album," another fan agreed. "Maybe more than 'Red.' Very different vibe. Absolutely phenomenal. So glad I didn't worry after hearing 'Me!'"
The 29-year-old singer had previously released four songs off the upcoming project: the lead single "Me!" featuring Brendon Urie, the LGBTQ rights anthem "You Need to Calm Down," the emotional fifth track "The Archer," and the titular song "Lover."
As part of her traditional album rollout, Swift revealed the tracklist on Friday and has been releasing snippets of lyrics on her "Lover Enhanced" Spotify playlist.
"There are so many ways in which this album feels like a new beginning," Swift recently told Vogue. "This album is really a love letter to love, in all of its maddening, passionate, exciting, enchanting, horrific, tragic, wonderful glory."
Representatives for Swift didn't immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
