Taylor Swift is wide awake as she arrives at ‘Midnights’

by Ma. Angel Nicole Rondez

A series of contemplations, hallucinations, and delusions - sweet dreams and nightmares.

The greatest lyricist has returned — at midnight! Taylor Swift loves ruining our sleep as she releases Midnights, her tenth studio album, last October 21, 2022. The singer-songwriter put 13 tracks on the standard version and added seven bonus tracks for its 3 am edition.

After a two-year hiatus, Taylor is not only making music again, but another piece of history. Our favorite blondie girl debuted her latest album at number 1 and swiftly occupied the Top 10 on Billboard’s Hot 100 for the first time. Spotify even stated that Swift’s 10th studio album “broke the record for the most-streamed album in a single day” in its history with over 185 million streams. On Apple Music, it’s the biggest pop album of all time by first-day streams.

From a pop album Lover, indie-folk-leaning twin Folklore and Evermore, Midnights feels like a mix of everything! The songs are vastly different from each other and when you play it, it’s like your customized Spo tify Taylor Swift playlist. Just like her two alternative folk al bums, this has also collaborat ed with Grammy-award-win ning producer Jack Antonoff. Taylor really loves commu nicating with her fans through her songs’ metaphorical storytelling. As eclectic as the album may seem, the songs are thematically con nected. This album is sure ly an assemblage of memo ries – and she’s wide awake to share these with cushy timbres, tropes, and sonics to her listeners.
