This is * not* going to be a cheery album. It looks like Tay’s spending a lost weekend at the Midnights Motel in the Seventies, wearing a winter coat in the bathroom, with a fuzzy ruff. She’s staring at the flame, as if as if she’s lighting a goddamn blaze in the dark. Taylor is playing with a cigarette lighter, in front of a shower curtain. What the hell is going on in that album cover? Taylor says that she was inspired by “things that keep me up at night,” like “self-loathing” and “fantasizing about revenge.” As she says, “I really don’t think I’ve delved this far into my insecurities in this detail before.”Ĩ.
That seems to be a major theme on this album. “This song is a real guided tour through all the things I tend to hate about myself,” Swift said on TikTok of “Anti-Hero.” “We all hate things about ourselves.” (Any time you’re trying to guess her next move, the two most crucial words are “so far.”) But she’s debuting a video for “Anti-Hero,” 8 hours after the album drops. She’s keeping the whole thing under wraps - the first time she’s done that with an album she announced in advance. But my money’s on “Mastermind” and “Vigilante Shit.” (And since it’s a Southern-grandma expression, Tay might be playing up her “London Boy” persona as “a Tennessee Stella McCartney.”) It’s anyone’s guess which songs she’s quoting in these lines. She revealed a second lyric Monday night in London, the hometown of her boyfriend Joe Alwyn: “I polish up real nice.” What a “Mirrorball” image - the theme of shining and gleaming on the surface, so nobody can see the sadness at the core. The cryptic line: “I should not be left to my own devices.” Taylor introduced the first lyric from the album Sunday night at midnight, on a billboard in NYC’s Times Square. What songs does she quote in her lyric previews? You Need to Calm Down: Taylor Swift's Hand Is Fine, She Just Fell BackstageĦ. 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 … we’ll meet ourselves. The floors we pace and the demons we face. This is a collection of music written in the middle of the night, a journey through terrors and sweet dreams. We twist in our self-made cages and pray that we aren’t – right this minute – about to make some fateful life-altering mistake.
“We stare at walls and drink until they speak back. “We lie awake in love and in fear, in turmoil and in tears,” she wrote. So she’s moving on from the dynamic duo of Jaaron Desstonoff. No sign of Aaron Dessner, her wingman on Folklore and Evermore. (Sounwave, Sweet and Keanu Torres also co-wrote “Karma.”) Spears, Sweet, and Dew worked with Kendrick Lamar on Mr. Spears, better known as Sounwave, produced “London Boy” on Lover.

She co-wrote “Lavender Haze” with Zöe Kravitz, plus the hip-hop producers Mark Anthony Spears, Jahaan Akil Sweet, and Sam Dew. her boyfriend Joe Alwyn) co-wrote “Sweet Nothing,” while Lana co-wrote “Snow on the Beach.” The only tune Taylor wrote solo is “Vigilante Shit.” But she revealed the songwriting credits on iTunes, showing she wrote it mostly with her trusty collaborator Jack Antonoff. Why does she do this to us? She doesn’t need to work so hard at dropping chaos on our heads. Meet me at Midnights.Īlways the key Taylor question.
