On Friday, Music star Taylor Swift released her 10th studio album Midnights as well as additional tracks made during the record-making process. The 32-year-old singer-songwriter describes the 13-track record “as a collage of intensity, highs, and lows and ebbs and flows”.
She took her Instagram account captioning, “Life can be dark, starry, cloudy, terrifying, electrifying, hot, cold, romantic or lonely. Just like Midnights.” Notably, the first track is Lavender Haze, a term Swift said she first heard while seeing the television series Mad Men about being in love. Meanwhile, she characterized the album’s first single Anti-Hero as one of her favorite songs she had ever written. It further leaps into her insecurities.
Further, Snow On The Beach features singer Lana Del Rey, a singer Swift said she had long admired. The Shake It Off and Bad Blood singer also took to Instagram overnight to reveal that while Midnights is a complete concept album “of the intensities of that mystifying, mad hour” – she loves sharing her creative process with fans and has dropped additional songs that didn’t make the record.
Taylor won 11 Grammy Awards and has topped the charts with her last albums. It includes the two surprise ones she released during the Covid-19 pandemic, Folklore, and Evermore.
