The only formal feature to be confirmed is with Lana Del Rey; Swift revealed it in a TikTok about “ [Snow on the Beach](https://www.tiktok.com/@taylorswift/video/7151677137337208110?is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1&item_id=7151677137337208110&lang=en).” [Swift has been dropping track names](https://www.vulture.com/2022/10/taylor-swift-introducing-midnights-track-names-on-tiktok.html) every night at (what else?) midnight, in a TikTok series she’s been calling “Midnights Mayhem With Me.” She started on [September 21](https://www.vulture.com/2022/09/taylor-swift-introducing-midnights-track-names-on-tiktok.html), telling her fans that track 13 would be called “Mastermind.” On October 7 — 13 nights before the release of Midnights — she dropped the final five tracks in a spree at a rate of one per hour.

After rumors went around that the 1975 would be making a cameo, [Matt Healy](https://www.nme.com/news/music/matty-healy-denies-that-the-1975-will-feature-on-taylor-swifts-midnights-3303969) denied he would be on the album.

Some fans speculated that the names of the songs would be “Track One,” “Track Two,” etc.

As "Amsterdam" hits theaters, TZR chats with the film's costume designer, J.R. Hawbaker, about dressing Margot Robbie, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Taylor Swift.

“I always wanted to keep the crown, the halo look of royalty — and loyalty — and she wears it so well,” says McCoy-Bell. “It’s almost like a uniform,” says Fischer, who exactly matched the lip shades to Libby’s costumes, like MAC Creemsheen Lipstick in [Dare](https://www.maccosmetics.com/product/13854/36169/products/makeup/lips/lipstick/cremesheen-lipstick) for her intro. “She’s adhering to societal fashion in the most elegant and aspirational way that only that level of society can achieve: velvet, silk, silk velvet — all the luxe fabrics,” says Hawbaker. Valerie’s screen siren waves, tied into a low chignon at the nape of her neck, exemplifying her return to happy times with Harold and Burt. “Margot and I joked [about it] and we called it a ‘Society of the Scarf,’” says Hawbaker, who happened to have a large sunburst patterned and fringe shawl in Robbie’s wardrobe. “I call it a ‘sanguine’ color, like the deep blood red,” says Hawbaker. Hawbaker recalls running up to Robbie with a large scarf and a grand idea the night before shooting: “‘Margot, tomorrow this is going to be a dress,’ and she went, ‘Great. ‘They're really the wild innovative roar in response to traditional artistic format,” says Hawbaker. “I got a Taylor Swift concert, like a private concert, while she was practicing a song that David just handed her that morning.” “[Swift and I] really wanted to just push the faux elements,” says Hawbaker. Hawbaker, because the casting of the “All Too Well” singer happened as filming was underway.

Swift has kept her relationship with the British actor incredibly private for six years now, and in a new video promoting her upcoming album, Midnights, she ...

"Like my relationship for six years, we've had to dodge weird rumors, tabloid stuff, and we just ignore it," Swift says. "And it turns out that it's a common phrase used in the '50s, where they would just describe being in love." She and Alwyn, of course, are no exception.
