TOhe had announced the exit to the last ones MTV VMAs, last August 28th. Now Midnights (midnight), tenth album by Taylor Swift and finally available. And among the 13 songs – complete picture of the intensity of that mystical and crazy hour that mark the return to electronic pop after Folklore And Evermore – there is also the much-needed collaboration with Lana Del Rey, Swift’s beloved artist. And of Zoë Kravitz.
Midnights what is it about?
Midnights is the first unreleased album after Taylor’s Version reissues Fearless And Red. A tale of thirteen sleepless nights, one for each track on the album. Thirteen nights that occurred sparsely in the singer’s life. And summarized as follows: “We lie awake full of love and fearin turmoil and tears. We stare at the walls and drink until they answer us. We twist the prisons we have created for ourselves and pray that, right now, we are not about to make a mistake that could turn our lives upside down. This is a collection of music written in the middle of the night, a journey through terror and sweet dreams“.
And again: «The floors on which we walk without rest and the demons we face. For all of us who have rolled over in bed and decided to leave the lanterns on and go searching – hoping that maybe when the clock strikes 12 we might meet ourselves.“. But deep down, he always says Swift, life can be dark, starry, cloudy, terrifying, thrilling, hot, cold, romantic, or lonely. Just like Midnights.

The first video from the album is Anti-Hero. Already available on YouTube represents the singer’s great fears, the fight against depression and feeling out of place. “Midnights – Taylor continues – It’s a wild ride, and I couldn’t be happier that my co-driver on this adventure was Jack Antonoff. He is my friend for life (presumptuous, I know, but I confirm it) and we have been making music together for almost a decade ».
The three exclusive playlists on Apple Music
On the occasion of the Songwriter-Artist of the Decade withdrawn ai Nashville Songwriter AwardsTaylor revealed how he breaks down his songs. A system which developed over the years and which is organized in three categories: Quill Lyrics, Fountain Pen Lyrics And Glitter Gel Lyrics. Each of which is based on the writing instrument she herself imagined she was holding when she wrote them.
To please the fans, he later posted on Apple Music three playlists with more or less the same titles: Fountain Pen Songs, Glitter Gel Pen Songs And Quill Pen Songs. «Most of my lyrics are Fountain Pen Lyrics. They are modern personal stories, written as poemswhich speak of those moments that are remembered all too well, in which you can see, hear and perceive everything in the smallest details ».
It’s still: “The Glitter Gel Pen Lyrics they have lyrics that make you want to dance, sing and throw glitter around the room. They remind you not to take yourself too seriously, which we all need to hear today. ‘ Finally the Quill Pen Lyrics “Are songs with lyrics that make you feel old-fashioned, as if you were a 19th century poet preparing his next sonnet by candlelight“.
