Since the track was announced, people were quick to make connections to last year’s Swift release, Red (Taylor’s Version), as she describes the various shades of red, all in a darker hue. Swift challenges the antiquated ideas of weddings here, addressing the “ She pokes fun at those criticisms by calling karma “her boyfriend,” her longest relationship to date. For someone who isn’t afraid to write songs about those important in her life, Swift shows a new vulnerability by being too afraid of admitting that she’s falling in love. She references her eating disorder that she revealed during her Miss Americana Netflix documentary, able to see her destructive behavior with larger clarity as a 32-year-old woman. It is our time to rise up and ask them a million questions knowing the answers will be painful no matter what. Swift has been battling marriage rumors almost as long as she’s been battling serial dater rumors. (Though careful, Taylor, with how you phrase it; you don’t want to become a meme like The ideal night of swimming in your own sadness and pity definitely includes calling yourself a narcissist and then considering every nice thing you’ve ever done a big evil scheme to make you look like a good person.

“Midnights is a collage of intensity, highs and lows and ebbs and flows. “Jack and I found ourselves back in New York, alone, recording every night, staying up late and exploring old memories and midnights past.” Midnights is the follow-up to Swift’s 2020 cozy folk double-dip Folklore and Evermore albums, marking a return to her poppier, more synth-oriented sound.

Taylor Swift has released many music videos, but here's a look at all the ones she directed herself.

And the thing that got people excited in the music industry is more people saw him in Fortnite than would see him in a real-life concert. So it’s not a virtual world, but it’s a virtual community. And it’s not real time, in the sense of people hanging out in the same space. But because they don’t have avatars and they’re not meeting in a virtual space, it’s not technically a metaverse? Are Swifties actually living more of a true metaverse experience than the people using that platform? But the virtual community has to be as strong as the technology piece. In the book, Stephenson even mentions that it’s mostly just the wealthy who use VR headsets, and regular folks just use a regular computer. Au: Well, the fact that she’s created this kind of virtual office for herself, that’s—let’s call it metaverse-ish, especially if she ends up using it somehow in the future.

[rerecordings of her old albums](https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/22/arts/music/taylor-swift-rerecord-albums.html), an offshoot of the ownership battles spurred by the sale of her old masters. There are songs on “Midnights” — “Midnight Rain,” “Lavender Haze” — that suggest an awareness of the ways Drake and the Weeknd have deployed overcast mood in their vocal and musical production, though she rarely commits. Of the new songs, only “Glitch” and “Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve” aren’t subtractive.) Which all prompts the question of where Swift might go as a midcareer pop star, if she were to pivot once more. “Midnights” feels like a sonic place holder, with stadiums in mind. The fleet, breezy and lightly damp “Lavender Haze” includes some sweet singing, though it feels overly reminiscent of the thumping digital folk of Maggie Rogers’s [Jack Antonoff](https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/24/arts/music/jack-antonoff-bleachers-lorde-interview.html), constrains her voice. Throughout the album, on songs like “You’re On Your Own, Kid” and “Maroon,” Swift’s vocals are stacked together to the point of suffocation. “Snow on the Beach,” a collaboration with fellow Great American Songwriter Lana Del Rey, begins with light Christmas music energy and never really ascends. But she also thrives when writing about “Taylor Swift” — the idea, the metanarrative, the character. “Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as altruism, like some kind of congressman?” Swift muses on “Anti-Hero,” an eerily shimmering Kate Bush-esque number that’s one of the album’s high points. [Taylor Swift](https://www.nytimes.com/spotlight/taylor-swift) has always been at her best when writing about Taylor Swift — she is diaristically pinpoint, a ruthless excavator of her own internal tugs of war.

Elsewhere, she surveys the fallout from her claim on “mad woman” that [Braun, now divorced](https://www.vulture.com/2021/07/scooter-braun-divorcing-wife-yael-cohen.html), is a cheat. “Draw the cat eyes sharp enough to kill a man,” she sings, and then adds a few lines later, “They say looks can kill, and I might try.” She’s past the reflections of “mad woman” and onto throwing barbs. She’s not rising above the drama, but she is carrying herself as the winner. [Midnights, Swift’s tenth album](https://www.vulture.com/2022/10/taylor-swift-midnights-album-stream.html). “I didn’t have it in myself to go with grace / ’Cause when I’d fight, you used to tell me I was brave,” Swift sang on “my tears ricochet,” seemingly to Scott Borchetta, her former champion who first signed a teenage Swift to his Big Machine label before later overseeing the sale of her catalogue to her chief nemesis, Scooter Braun. The provocatively titled “Vigilante Shit” seems to revisit [the Braun-Borchetta drama](https://www.vulture.com/2019/11/taylor-swift-scooter-braun-and-borchetta-feud-explained.html) head-on while also returning to the scorekeeping, revenge-seeking Swift we thought we might have seen the last of during folklore and evermore. Swift’s message to Braun, though, was even clearer: “I’m takin’ my time / Takin’ my time / ’Cause you took everything from me,” she sang on “mad woman.” Still, these songs were cloaked in the fictional haze of that era, far from a direct response.

Taylor Swift has released seven extra songs to coincide with a surprise special edition of her latest album 'Midnights'.

I think of Midnights as a complete concept album, with those 13 songs forming a full picture of the intensities of that mystifying, mad hour. The pop icon shared a link to stream the special edition album and further explained the concept: "I'm calling them 3am tracks. The 'Anti-Hero' songstress wrote: "Surprise!

Critics praise the "fantastic songs" on Midnights, but some add there is "not a smash hit in sight".

On the twinkly Bejeweled she announces that she's "going out tonight", but the beats remain sleepy and sluggish. Swift's always as elusive as she is allusive." Swift is currently gearing up for a busy few months. Otherwise Midnights sounds ready for bed." All the while she keeps things just cryptic enough to keep the tension crackling and the speculation buzzing. But it also sees her re-engage her pop sensibilities, with lyrics that explore more personal subject matters. "As Swift has returned to her archive for to undertake the project of re-recording her previous albums, it's clear slipping back into her past self has unlocked something brilliant and fresh in her songwriting," she wrote. "The subtle melodies of Midnights take time to sink their claws in," she added. "But Swift's feline vocal stealth and assured lyrical control ensure she keeps your attention. [the Guardian's Alexis Petridis said](https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/oct/21/taylor-swift-midnights-review-small-hours-pop-rich-with-self-loathing-and-stereotype-smashing) Midnights "delivers her firmly from what she called the 'folklorian woods' of her last two albums back to electronic pop". Midnights is the 32-year-old's first original album in two years and sees her return to a more mainstream sound than the more muted, acoustic tone of her previous two albums. The Guardian said Midnights is a "cool, collected and mature" record which is "packed with fantastic songs".

This wouldn't be the first time Taylor has seemingly referenced Scooter and Yael in her work. This is something she also reflected on in an interview after the deal with Scooter was made public, where she described feeling like a "prized calf that he was fattening up to sell to the slaughterhouse that would pay the most." While some interpret this as relating to an affair, others think it could be a metaphor for Kim needing "proof" in order to destroy Taylor's reputation. This not only appears to once again acknowledge the betrayal Taylor felt at the hands of someone she trusted, but could also be considered an acknowledgement of the way Karlie was accused of using her friendship with Taylor for relevancy — both at the time, and long after it was over. Taylor knew that Scott would sell the label once she signed a new contract, and so decided to walk away. And this song may be another example of that, with Taylor exploring relationship dynamics that she's not a part of. I'm sure you're well versed in the details of this feud, but the abridged version goes something like this: Back in 2016, Kanye West released his song, "Famous," which included the lyric: "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? And the feud appears to come up again in "Karma." Instead, he gave her the option to sign a new contract, and essentially "earn" the rights to one old album for every new one she released. And this was seemingly corroborated on Taylor's 2020 track, "It's Time To Go." However, two years later reports emerged suggesting that Karlie had leaked private information about Taylor to her manager, Scooter Braun, who Taylor has since described as her nemesis. As ever though, it needs to be pointed out that lyrical interpretation is subjective, and therefore we can't be 100% certain of who any of the songs are about.

Ranking the swearist lines in Taylor Swift's new album Midnights which contains some of her strongest curse words including shit, fuck, damn, and cheap-ass.

The lean-back rhythm of her patter here is Taylor trying on her most world-weary “I’m washed” posture on the album. Taylor puts a “fuckin’” right in the center of this album’s biggest singsong pop chorus, pacing out words like a metronome so that she has to hit both syllables of “fuck-in” hard (and, yes, there’s no “g”). Okay, now we’re fucking — though, really, we’re only fuckin’ because Taylor is resistant to ever pronouncing the “g” at the end of the word. [inspired by Mad Men](https://www.nme.com/news/music/taylor-swift-reveals-mad-men-inspiration-behind-midnights-track-lavender-haze-3327307) (a show that is primarily set in the ’60s, but whatever), which puts Taylor in the position of a sort of Betty Draper raging against the feminist mystique or something. She’s easing up to the bolder swears later on in the album. And for all of her use of “fucking,” she tends to only use swears as intensifiers, not as descriptors of actually explicit acts.

Target, which has had a long relationship with Swift, has its own exclusive LP version (on “lavender” vinyl) as well as a CD with three exclusive tracks. The most ingenious or shameless part — take your pick — of Swift’s vinyl strategy is what she has done with the back covers. In a sense, “Midnights” is Swift’s return to the pop pipeline after her digressions of the past couple of years.

But an important factor in the sales and chart prospects for “Midnights” may be Swift’s embrace of physical music formats like CDs and vinyl LPs, which, because of the way Billboard crunches data about how music is consumed, can have a major impact on chart positions.

[Taylor Swift](https://variety.com/t/taylor-swift/) likes the number 13, which would be one reason why her “ [Midnights](https://variety.com/t/midnights/)” album runs at an economical 13 tracks, her first release to be that concise in many years. “He’s my friend for life (presumptuous I know but I stand by it) and we’ve been making music together for nearly a decade.

Is the new Taylor Swift song Lavender Haze about Joe Alwyn? Hear what she has to say about engagement rumors and their relationship in the "Midnights" song ...

“If I had a pound for every time I think I’ve been told I’ve been engaged, then I’d have a lot of pound coins. Note that the song title itself is a term borrowed from the '50s. And what the people are asking about is an engagement. Here's what to know about the song lyrics and what it says about Swift, Alwyn and how she feels about a potential engagement. “I think a lot of people have to deal with this now, not just like ‘public figures,’ because we live in the era of social media,” she began. "My relationship for six years, we’ve had to dodge weird rumors, tabloid stuff — and we just ignore it,” she said.

Taylor Swift “Midnights,” (Republic Records) “All of me changed like midnight,” Taylor Swift confesses halfway through her latest album, the aptly named and ...

But Swift presents “Midnights” as something different: a collection of songs that don’t necessarily have to go together, but fit together because she has declared them products of late night inspiration. Track one, “Lavender Haze,” pairs a muffled club beat and high-pitched backing vocals from Antonoff with stand-out, beckoning melody from Swift. “Midnight Rain” could be a thesis statement for the project she’s described as songs written during “13 sleepless nights,” an appropriate approach to the concept album for someone who has long had a lyrical appreciation for late nights (think “Style”: “midnight, you come and pick me up, no headlights…”). [the 13 tracks of “Midnights,”](/article/what-to-stream-October-2022-midnights-music-movies-TV-f70b362a01e904e5b23adeb62c822dd0) a self-aware Swift shows off her ability to evolve again. It’s among the album’s most sonically interesting, an indie-pop beat that feels reminiscent of her producer Jack Antonoff’s work on Lorde’s “Melodrama,” but also fresh and captivating. The song’s chorus begins: “He was sunshine, I was midnight rain.” And continues: “He wanted it comfortable, I wanted that pain.

Taylor Swift moves away from the experimental magic of folklore and evermore and delivers a giddy, self-reflective crusade with Midnights.

After multiple listens—and wishing that the 3 AM songs were part of the core album—it’s evident she embraces the chaos (what’s new, right?). The album illustrates the strengths and weaknesses of the Swift-Antonoff partnership—the duo tends to “regress” every so often but knows how to tap into their forte, too. As it turns out, Midnights is an eccentric blend of [Lover](https://www.avclub.com/taylor-swift-is-done-proving-herself-on-the-resonant-lo-1837578581) and [1989](https://www.avclub.com/with-1989-taylor-swift-finally-grows-up-1798181732), with a dose of [Reputation](https://www.avclub.com/taylor-swift-has-a-big-drunken-night-out-on-reputation-1820342108)’s retribution for good measure. There are more gems here like, “I’ll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror / It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero,” and the polarizing line, “Sometimes I feel like everybody is a sexy baby.” ( On three of the tracks, she collaborates with The National’s Aaron Dessner yet again, including on “The Great War,” which features poetic imagery and lyrics about surviving the battlefield of a tumultuous bond and is enhanced by Dessner’s production. And then there’s “Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve,” a fiery but tragic indictment of the older man she dated at 19 who took advantage of her naïveté. An early standout, it charts her exhaustion from giving in to her worst thoughts and impulses (“When my depression works the graveyard shift / All of the people I’ve ghosted stand there in the room / I should not be left to my own devices”). The singer’s “sleepless nights” have spawned an odyssey that’s cutthroat and shimmery. Swift opens Midnights with “Lavender Haze,” a definite bop that celebrates her unperturbed love life (reminiscent of “Call It What You Want To).” And she closes the core album with a pair of tracks that cleverly confirm her relationship, starting with track 12, the amorous ballad “Sweet Nothing,” co-written by Swift and William Bowery (Joe Alwyn’s pseudonym). [Taylor Swift revealed she categorizes her lyrics](https://www.avclub.com/taylor-swift-new-insight-songwriting-process-1849562389) in three distinct ways: Quill, fountain pen, and glitter gel pen, conjuring the perfect weapon to rousingly convey her words. That’s immediately followed by track 13, “Mastermind,” in which a Machiavellian Swift confesses her schemes to secure his love. That’s not a complaint, of course, because Swift is the certified queen of serving up bangers.

Lyrically, Taylor Swift's new album, Midnights, is as Swiftian as ever, meaning sometimes it's hard to tell what the hell she's talking about through all ...

She’s had plenty of musician boyfriends (Joe Jonas, John Mayer, Harry Styles, Calvin Harris), and this could be about any of them, though I sincerely hope it’s not Styles — he has [enough drama](https://www.thecut.com/2022/10/olivia-wilde-jason-sudeikis-salad-dressing.html) for the time being. This is the chorus of “Maroon,” to which I say, Taylor, where are your shoes? This is on the song “Karma,” which, well, you can probably guess what it’s about. I appreciate that Taylor threw an encouraging little lyric into the album’s last song, “Mastermind,” even though it kind of sounds like something a Disney villain would say. There are too many specific references here for them to be random, but the studious Swifties on Reddit will have to decode it for me. Here, Taylor is threatening her rude boyfriend that she will go out and flirt with someone who appreciates her more, but I feel I must warn her that any dude talking about auras is not going to be a better option. You can really see the thesaurus coming in handy here. I strongly suspect Swift had a thesaurus on hand while writing, because the range of vocabulary on display is truly impressive. I hope she’s found some more uplifting parties where the guests support her dreams. Nowhere in New York is it safe or sanitary to stand, let alone dance, without shoes on.

Here are the most popular unconfirmed fan theories about which celebrities Swift is calling out on Midnights, from John Mayer to Kanye West.

“I would’ve stayed on my knees / And I damn sure never would’ve danced with the devil at nineteen,” she sings in the chorus, and the sentient bears a striking similarity to Speak Now track “Dear John,” which was also believed to be about Mayer due to the title. While the superstar doesn’t mention anyone directly, fans on Twitter noticed a particular verse: “She needed cold hard proof, so I gave her some / She had the envelope, where you think she got it from? 21), and fans know that the pop superstar is not afraid of some subtle, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it shade in her music.

Swift's Midnights swiftly unseated Bad Bunny's Un Verano Sin Ti for most Spotify streams in 24 hours.

Truly, it’s (Taylor’s Version), and we’re just living in it. Spotify didn’t release specific numbers for Midnights and its one-day performance, but we do know who Swift unseated to score the honor: Bad Bunny, whose Un Verano Sin Ti posted its own record, with 183 million day-one streams, back in September of 2021. Guinness says Red scored 90.8 million streams during its first 24 hours on Spotify back in 2021, which means Midnights has blown way past that number today.)

Taylor Swifts fans helped her set a single-day record for most album streams on Spotify.

The totals on Swift’s new [Midnights](https://deadline.com/tag/midnights/) didn’t even need a full 24 hours to attain that record, which Spotify refused to put a number to.

Taylor Swift's track 17 on "Midnights," "High Infidelity," has Swifties searching for where the singer was on April 29 after a lyric referenced the date.

Swift went out shopping on April 29, 2014, according to photos from her outing. On this day in 2018, Swift posted a photo of herself rehearsing for her upcoming tour. Could this be an Easter egg that she's finally going on tour again? She wore a one-shoulder, black sparkly dress to the party in Los Angeles. [new single](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOkQ4T5WO9E) with Rihanna: "This Is What You Came For." Swift originally shared the photos, but has since deleted the post.

Taylor Swift's 10th album "Midnights" has already broken the Spotify record for the most-streamed album in a single day.

She’s returned to what at this point counts as her most familiar stylistic home — a mostly electronic bed of sounds that, for the length of this album, anyway, is coming back stronger than a ‘90s trend, to borrow a phrase.” Before the album came out, Swift also appeared on Amazon Prime Video’s “Thursday Night Football” to tease the rest of the album’s music videos, which star the Haim sisters, album producer Jack Antonoff, Laura Dern, Pat McGrath, Mike Birbiglia, John Early and Dita Von Teese. Spotify announced the news on its socials Friday afternoon, writing: “And before the clock could even strike midnight on October 22nd, Taylor Swift broke the record for the most-streamed album in a single day in Spotify history.”

this is our first album we’ve done with just the two of us as main collaborators,” she wrote. In a post on her Instagram to mark the album’s release, she shared a photo of herself with her collaborators, and singled out Antonoff as her “co-pilot”. Taylor Swift has thanked her fans for “doing something mind blowing” as her new LP broke the Spotify record for most-streamed album in a single day.

A pop phenomenon and lyric wizard once said, “Karma is real.” That was Taylor Swift in 2016 when asked by Vogue what she believed to be the most important.

[“Karma”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1imWezhl2T0) is about an unbothered state of mind. “All I started thinking of was, ‘How do I hint at things, like how far is too far in advance?,” Swift said. After all, Swift [did say,](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3K0RzZGpyds) “The world moves on … (In The idea of “Karma” has an outsize place in the Taylor Swift universe, thanks to a prevalent fan theory.

This album would have come between “1989” and “Reputation.” Instead, fans think it was replaced with “Reputation.” but not for me, not for me, all I think about is karma.” [“The Man” ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqAJLh9wuZ0)from her “Lover” album/ [Blake Lively re-creating “The Man” wall scene](https://www.instagram.com/p/CWUo4ayAnzd/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link) on the set of the “I Bet You Think About Me” music video to mischievously laughing when revealing the title of the track during her [“Midnights Mayhem With Me”](https://www.tiktok.com/@taylorswift/video/7151244297432665390?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7153338511659959854) series.

All coupled up: Taylor Swift strolled with boyfriend Joe Alwyn, Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake celebrated 10 years of marriage and Kanye made time for ...

The album is rife with themes of revenge, karma, and eternal love, but there's one song in particular that fans think is a direct message to Tay's famous exes: ...

When Taylor dated John, she was 19 to his 32 (infamously depicted in her song "Dear John"), and when she dated Jake, she was 20 and he was 29. And the God's honest truth is that the pain was heaven and now that I'm grown, I'm scared of ghosts," she sings. And if I was a child, did it matter if you got to wash your hands?"

Skipping right past the innocence of her debut, self-titled album, I would argue that the first truly horny Swift song appears on Fearless. “The Way I Loved You ...

In this way, “Gorgeous” fits in with the rest of Reputation in that Swift is finally allowing herself to play the villain. Lover is, in terms of horniness, a post-“Dress” album. Now skipping right past Swift’s NPR-core era (I’ve had people argue with me that “August” is horny, but sorry, that’s just wistful; things can mention sex without being horny), “Maroon” is one of Swift’s horniest songs. She doesn’t fully commit to being the seductive villainess in the way someone like Lorde does on a song like “Magnets.” Shockingly horny in lyrical content, shockingly unhorny musically. Yet it’s notable that she uses the same markers of sexuality she established in “Style.” With Swift, it’s all about sexuality told through longing and sensuous friction, and the establishing symbols are clothing and Hollywood glamour. While “Dress” is Reputation’s crown jewel of horniness, it’s not the only horny song on there. She sets the stage: “Midnight / You come and pick me up, no headlights.” The secrecy implied is clearly a turn on, and that will recur as she delves further into her sexuality in future eras. On “Dress,” she introduces another of her favorite sexy symbols: being wine-drunk. She doesn’t portray the love they had as a “masterpiece,” like on “All Too Well,” but as “red” hot. “But moving on from him is impossible / When I still see it all in my head / In burning red”? “The Way I Loved You” starts by describing some nice guy Swift is dating, which is pretty par for the course, before descending into a description of her sizzling relationship with her previous boyfriend, which was way hotter. In Swift’s pre-Reputation period, the horniness is mostly told through the lens of regret: “The Way I Loved You” and “Red” are prime examples.

Tory Delury designed the mobile home after being inspired by Taylor Swift's "Lover" album to contradict sexist assumptions about her life in the van.

"I feel like I'm getting to know the area much better, making it a more in-depth travel experience." "I started thinking of myself the way I would want Taylor Swift to think of herself. I wanted to tell them that I'm not a tomboy but can build anyway," she said. "I would say there were plenty of times when I thought I was never going to be able to do it and wanted to just pay someone instead," she said. "It's a reminder that I'm not going to be defined by the things that people have done to me before; I'm going to live by the things that I love and that make me happy," she said. It changed her outlook on life. It's a huge confidence builder." In Pennsylvania, she learned how to manufacture guitars. "She taught me that it was ok to allow myself to move on from what happened to me and that the best revenge is just going on being happy and finding things that you love." "People doubted that I could do it because I'm a girl, so I wanted to do it in the girliest way possible. Delury says she decided to paint the inside of the van pink as a statement against the sexist and negative comments she started receiving after sharing that she was going to DIY the van herself on social media. "The way I see it, it's better than having to pay rent every month because I put that money into myself and into something that I love," she said.
