Taylor Swift returns to pop with deeply personal Midnights
Before "Folklore" and "Evermore," Taylor Swift could not have been the Taylor Swift of "Midnights."
This Swift has drilled down a couple more layers and has never shied away from exposing a vein of vulnerability.
Swift sets a high bar for herself with her 10th studio album by not only sharing her most intimate thoughts with us, but also doing so with poetic grace and a higher calibre of narrative.
Her confidence as a songwriter increased as a result of the enthusiastic response to the spare musicality and unfiltered emotion on her most recent two albums.
Listening to "Midnights" at the witching hour enhances so many aspects of the song. In a pitch-black room wearing headphones,
Swift seems to be telling stories about her life and using her inventive wordplay directly.
11 of the 13 songs on the album were created by Jack Antonoff, a longstanding collaborator of Swift. She explores her past with Antonoiff's help and leaves a seductive trail of breadcrumbs.
Prior to the release of the album, she filmed a series of web videos called "Midnight's Mayhem With Me."
Swift claimed that "Mad Men" informed her of the word "Lavender Haze," which was used in the 1950s and signified "you were in an all-encompassing love glow."
Swift recounts a romance with "the one I was dancing with in New York" while using a wide variety of adjectives and well-timed expletives.
