Taylor Swift sounded excited when she talked about her 10th studio album, Midnights, on her tweet on 21 October.
“Surprise! I think of Midnights as a complete concept album, with those 13 songs forming a full picture of the intensities of that mystifying, mad hour. However! There were other songs we wrote on our journey to find that magic 13,” said the American pop star.
As it turned out, there are seven bonus tracks which include “The Great War,” “Paris,” Bigger Than the Whole Sky,” “High Infidelity,” “Glitch,” “Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve” and “Dear Reader.”
At 3:00 a.m. (East Coast time), Swift officially released Midnights (3 a.m. Edition) which included the seven bonus tracks.
Most-streamed album in a day
Spotify on Twitter congratulated the 32-year-old singer
-songwriter: “And before the clock could even strike midnight on October 22nd, Taylor Swift broke the record for most-streamed album in a single day in Spotify history…”
Swift described Midnights as “the stories of 13 sleepless nights scattered throughout my life… a collage of intensity, highs and lows and ebbs and flows. Life can be dark, starry, cloudy, terrifying, electrifying, hot, cold, romantic or lonely. Just like Midnights. Which is out now.”
The 13 tracks are “Anti-Hero,” “Sweet Nothing,” “Lavender Haze,” “Maroon,” “Snow on the Beach,” “You’re On Your Own, Kid,” “Midnight Rain,” “Question…?,” “Bejeweled,” “Labyrinth,” “Karma,” “Vigilant S***” and “Mastermind.”
She added: “I love storytelling. I love songwriting. I love writing videos. I love directing them… I’m really proud of what we made and I really hope you like them,” she added.
Guest artists featured in the Midnights music videos are Jack Antonoff, Laura Dern, members of the band Haim, and Mike Birbiglia and John Early.
Other artists she collaborated with on Midnights are Lana Del Rey, Zoe Kravitz, and music producers Soundwave and Keanu Beats.
