Ahead of Taylor Swift's Midnights album, we're ranking the 13 references to midnights on her previous albums.

So while “Nothing New” lacks the “love” we are so hoping will give us a reprieve, it’s still pretty midnights-y. “All Too Well” is “midnights-y” to a tee. She says she wants to be defined by those things, and now she is releasing an album completely defined by what keeps her up in the middle of the night. While the exact lyric mentioning midnight isn’t necessarily “midnights-y” by the way I’m defining it, the song is haunting in the way these sleepless nights seem to be — like past and future happiness are shadows of the “terror and sweet dreams” mentioned in the Midnights announcement, cast upon the walls of our “self-made cages” from our lit lanterns. She’ll do what she can to make sure that they stay “you and me forevermore” regardless of how tough it is and regardless of the mistakes they’ll make. [Rebekah Harkness](https://www.vulture.com/2020/07/rebekah-harkness-taylor-swift-rhode-island-house.html), but damn, she sounded like quite the woman. (I just hope this guy had his headlights on.) If only the scale included yearning — see: “I wanna feel you by my side, standing next to me / You gotta come on, come on / Say that we’ll be together” —then “Untouchable” would be near the top. Dreaming in the middle of the night? The mistakes here aren’t the ones that will blow up your entire life. If this all sounds familiar, it’s because there are, in a fitting Swiftian twistTaylor’s lucky number is 13 , 13 tracks in her back catalog that have explicitly mentioned “midnight” or “the middle of the night.” In honor of Midnights madness, I’ve ranked them by how “midnights-y” they feel.

This is a collection of music written in the middle of the night, a journey through terrors and sweet dreams," Swift told her fans.

Be sure to look out for the themed drinks and photo booth. and after, it’s SwEmo — every third song will either be a Swift song or an emo/pop punk cover of her songs. The night is dedicated to Taylor Swift for the bar’s weekly Friday Friends — it’s Taylor’s Version. Looking for a night of Midnights and emo Taylor? Over in Northeast Philly, Christina Foley and a friend plan to stay up late listening to the album from start to finish. “This is a collection of music written in the middle of the night, a journey through terrors and sweet dreams. “This song really is a real guided tour throughout all the things I tend to hate about myself. “For all of us who have tossed and turned and decided to keep the lanterns lit and go searching — hoping that just maybe, when the clock strikes twelve ... Ever the mastermind, Swift trickled out song titles in her usual Easter egg fashion with a Midnights Mayhem With Me video series. [Swift said in a video about track three, Anti-Hero](https://www.instagram.com/p/CjPMULyPp9V/?hl=en). She envisions the party will look much like their Red (Taylor’s Version) one. But once the shock wore off, they “immediately started planning a get together.”

Taylor Swift took over a Spotify billboard with a Midnights clock and song lyrics, in addition to sharing the news that an Anti-Hero music video is coming.

A "special very chaotic surprise" comes at 3 a.m., then the “Anti-Hero” music video at 8 a.m., then lyric videos on YouTube later that night. (She'll tease the MV during the third quarter of Thursday Night Football on Prime Video — the Saints at the Cardinals — because, sure.) In addition to the lyrics, fans can look forward to to her lead single, “Anti-Hero,” which will have a music video that drops at 8 a.m.

We're just days away from Taylor Swift's Midnights album release, and the star has been dropping hints about her 10th studio LP in very Taylor-ish ways.

“I struggle a lot with the idea that my life has become unmanageably sized. “London, you polish up real nice,” the Taylor Nation Twitter account retweeted a fan photo of the lyrics. “I polish up real nice,” the lyric reads.

She has 11 Grammys, nine major-label albums, university sources studying her work and an unstoppable fandom... so how did Taylor Swift conquer the music ...

“We’re using Swift’s songs to see some basic literary tropes and paradigms in action (the work of metaphor, simile, free indirect discourse),” Professor Elizabeth Scala, who sees Swift as a relevant bridging gap between contemporary and historical fiction, tells me. Labelling them her “quill lyrics”, “fountain pen lyrics” and “glitter gel pen lyrics”, she demonstrated a playful self-awareness that runs parallel with her keen literary sensibilities. He points out that a song such as “No Body, No Crime”, from Swift’s 2020 album evermore, follows a woman involved in a murder mystery, “but no one is going and thinking of that as an actual confession. She switched from Romeo and Juliet romance to a Game of Thrones-style revenge epic, singing: “But I got smarter, I got harder in the nick of time/ Honey, I rose up from the dead, I do it all the time/ I got a list of names, and yours is in red, underlined.” For many, “Look What You Made Me Do” was a case of Swift reshaping the narrative of herself as a beleaguered pop star. “Her lyrics are written in a way as if she’s directly speaking to her fans, and I don’t think many artists have the ability to do that as well as Taylor does.” For fans, the success of Swift’s songwriting has much to do with the way she makes her listeners feel understood, particularly her young female audience. One of the ways Swift achieves this is by leaving “Easter eggs”, where familiar images or phrases crop up in different songs and their accompanying music videos. Since then, many of her greatest hits have illustrated her prowess in capturing sprawling romances and fleeting, loaded interactions, among them “Love Story” and “Fearless”, both from her 2008 album Fearless, and “cardigan”, which saw Swift’s literary attachment to clothing metaphors resurface in the lead single for her surprise 2020 album folklore. And as she prepares to release her 10th studio album, Midnights, it seems as though she’s yet to reach the pinnacle of her songwriting prowess. Since the beginning of her career, she’s demonstrated her ability to balance the universal with the hyper-specific. She became unafraid of upsetting the status quo and critics, and played around with the role of the villain – particularly in her cool, self-assured sixth studio album Reputation. Her songs have been compared to the revered works of artists as far apart as Beyoncé, Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan.

The Lover hitmaker has said fans who pre-order her new 'Midnights' album will be able to get exclusive pre-sale access to upcoming tour dates. The 32-year-old ...
