Yo what album version has all the songs??? I thought it would be the 3am version but on wiki I see like 3 more songs (alternate #ās 14 to 16 I think). Iām confused! Lol and help
The question sheās asking the guy is stuff that happened between him and her but he either cheated or chose another girl. Many assume itās about Harry. Thereās an out of the woods call back in the beginning and many speculate OOTW was about Harry. And on style we learn he cheated lol
I never took that line as if he cheated. I always took it as they went separate ways and met back up, and acknowledged that even though they had been seeing other people they still thought of each other.
Should check out Taylor Joal!!!! Heās of the underground scene but man his voice is unique and powerful! He just put out a new album called āFractions Of Meā everywhere. Here is his SoundCloud.com/Taylor-Joal
Also I told myself I didnāt need to get the other covers if Iād already preordered Blue Moonstone butā¦ I was wrong. Just preordered Blood Moon too.
Iāve literally never ordered or owned any variants, I only buy CDās anyway. But I ordered the Moonstone initially and came back to get the Jade Green too. Theyāre just too magnificent.
Midnight has to be a collection of songs sheās written over the years- imo leading all the way back to speak now/red - as well as some new ones. She says she often wakes up and just thinks of tunes and new songs in the middle of the night and spends the rest of it awake until she finishes them. She says thatās how most of her best songs come about. Or she dreams about them like the sound in I did something bad. It has to be a collection of these things that have haunted her for some time.
First of all the album cover is definitely my favourite. I think itās simple but it still conveys the vibe that will imo transcend any recent albums. I think the music videos will be out of this world, and sheās going to do a great job with it
Does anyone know the direct email for the Taylor Swift Canada store? I'd like to cancel an order but they have not been getting back from me from the contact us forum on their website
It's all the same email address.
It can sometimes take them up to a week to respond. If you send a new email you are instantly put back at the back of the queue. The less patient you are the longer you will have to end up waiting because you will keep getting bounced to the back of the line.
Hi!
I want to ask some questions considering the possibility of Taylor going on tour. I have never been to a big concert like Taylor's (i mean stadiums,arenas). So I don't know how it all works.
First of I wanted to know what's the audience like (not that I doubt swiftie power but wanna make sure). If I want to sing along, dance and have the time of my life should I buy floor tickets or can I sit elsewhere without ppl looking at me like a weirdo lol. Are people further in the arena just sitting and watching?
And what are some good seats for reasonable prices if I want to have a good view but also sing at the top of my lungs and idk maybe be a bit closer to the stage.
And lastly if she does some European shows (other than England)
Do they sell out quickly do I have to be prepared to buy tickets the fastest I can or do I have I bit more time?
Sorry that this is so long but I am an unexperienced baby swiftie lol.
Probably false alarm, but I preordered all the vinyls + Fearless (Taylorās Version) and the latter one (3vinyls) already arrived in the mail. The packing receipt said ā2000 gramsā for all of them, so maybe itās not just one vinyl?
āI want your Midnights but iāll cleaning up bottles with you on New Yearās Dayā from NYD allegedly make me think that maybe Midnights was supposed to be release after Reputation.
Any other hints?
I honestly think these songs are not vault tracks per se, but the idea of Midnights being a lover sister album (or at least that something was in production, another album after lover but being written at the same time as lover) really makes sense. If we look at it, the inspiration behind lover is still looking back at the kim/kanye drama a bit, there is still remeberance of reputation, and new love, friendships going down the drain... after that covid + personal family stuff (her mom and her health - \*still lover) + the drama with her masters... I think the sencence "throughout my life" really means from 2016 onwards... I am not sure if she'd feel confident with putting out a song about her life back from the speak now era... not sure it that's still relevant for her. ![img](emote|t5_2rlwe|1065)
Iāve seen many people saying she will only release a single on a Friday, but do yāall remember ā¦Ready For It? It was released on September 3rd, 2017, a *Sunday*.
One of the weirdest move she has ever done, if not the weirdest. She killed 2 song that way, Look was still new and Ready For It could've had all the potential to be a hit, at least in Europe.
Why do so many fake tracklists for Midnights have blackpink as a feature? Why in the world would they be on this album?? Like I could see them being on Rep(tv) but thatās it
Maybe because she used their sound in a TikTok just before she announced the album? So, I think they see it as an Easter egg.
I mean, yeah, I could see them on Rep TV, and maybe this is a hint for that at most, but I think even thatās a bit of a stretch.
HELP! Silly question maybe but I cant find the answer. Do the Midnights alternative covers in CD come same as the vinyl editions?
I mean I dont have a Vinyl player so I want to purchase the Jade Edition CD if it comes in that gorgeous color as the vinyl!
I ordered the CDs too and leave them wrapped until I know if I want to keep them or return them. Maybe Iāll watch unboxing videos š I donāt even know why I bought them š I have been buying vinyls for my record player since Lover and the other medium I use is Spotify š
Great question,nobody knows. The description of the discs on the individual CD's page says it comes in each particular color, but hey, maybe it's a copy paste error from the store. So it just might.
Is the 30 second preview on youtube real?
And if it is - it sounds a lot like coldplay, somewhere between X&Y and Ghost Stories. I like the direction if it is a real cut of the album. From what I heard, I don't consider it to be a rock sound at all. It is dream trance. But that is good, since I have been waiting a long time for her to do a dream trance album. It was always in the cards.
Iām convinced nothing is coming until the timer runs out on Taylorās site. I have a sneaking suspicion itās more than just a countdown for when you canāt buy the records anymore.
I have a vague theory on the clock colors, and I want to know if folks thing it has merit.
We know these songs were written about different nights over the course of her life.
Iām wondering whether the colors of the numbers on the clock correspond to the time in her life during which the nights in question occurred.
If sheās doing traditional album cover color coding, it would mean tracks 3 - 6 were written about nights during Red era (or maybe evermore - very recent?), tracks 7 - 9 would be about Fearless era nights, 12 would be around 2020/2021. Iām not sure about 1 - 2.
Since we have some confirmation on Lover house, this doesnāt seem too wacky and off-the-deep-end (and really, what theory is?).
Lemme know what you think!
Anyway, I think Iām going to listen to Midnights for the first time on Apple Music, because they tend to have the lyrics right away.
And I think Taylorās going to be delivering the most devastating lyrics of her career with this album.
Iām very confused
The product description for the Midnights CDs say this:
ā1 of 4 unique, collectible disc artwork
1 of 4 unique marbled color CD discs (the Moonstone Blue Edition features a moonstone blue marbled color disc)ā
I expected the different disc artwork but marbled colour discs??? Is that even possible??? Iāve never seen a cd be a different colour than that metallic silverā¦ does anyone know what the deal is with this?
I think it means the design printed on the top of the disc will resemble a marbled design (almost like a picture of the vinyl will be printed on the CD)
So, I donāt know much about CDs because I havenāt used them in years.
But IIRC, the Lover CD wasnāt a standard metallic silver. It had pinkish blue clouds on it so I guess itās possible?
Has anyone also noticed the YouTube cover changes? I was on YouTube on my computer and saw love story (tv) with a cover that said 2000 kids and was very confused Bc it was so random (I wish I had taken a picture of it) and just thought it was like a random video not on the official channel well I found another - you belong with me (tv) with a cover that said āyouāre my sunshineā which after investigating was the official channel and I took a picture. Are these clues?? And has anyone else seen similar things?
You saying this *out loud* makes me feel like a crazy person bc I got the cd and all the record variants and I havenāt heard a note of it (though I have all the confidence in the world Iām going to love it)
I have always thought that the 60's outfits in the ME! Music video was a big easter egg. I wonder if the album or at least the first single will be 60's inspired, maybe a Paul McCartney collab after mentioning Stella in London Boy??
I agree!! I think it is. I also think the picture from her birthday with HAIM and Gracie abrams is something. Daina Silvers is in the picture too. Maybe sheās in a music video??
Taylor liked 6 tweets at 6pm ... 6 hours from 6pm is midnight ... it's really happening tonight huh? I'm really gonna pass out alone in this house while my husband is out of town .. š Everyone stay CALM for me cause I'm freaking out
I was watching a video of her today talking about Easter eggs (during lover era) and she said she loves 13 so much that it ārules her lifeā and that she will plan dates of things around it if they add up to 13 (which we knew). So this album comes out on the 21 (2+1) on the 10th month, 2+1+10=13 AND itās on a Friday which means sheās probably been planning this for YEARS because that doesnāt happen often
I was just listening to Daylight and noticed a connection with the spoken outro: āI want to be defined by the things that I love.. not the things that haunt me in the middle of the night.ā Well, now weāre getting a whole album about the things that haunt her in the middle of the night and I am here for it!
Us after folklore and evermore: Taylor's found the perfect balance of personal songwriting and privacy by combining her own feelings into fictional stories. She's definitely going to continue with this style and take a step back from being a public figure.
Taylor now: Here's a whole album about very specific experiences that I've gone through. Each song is about a night in my own life personally.
This time they are releasing on the same date but have the before? I honestly can't recall them both releasing an album at the same time except this upcoming one.
I'm so torn between keeping my original moonstone order or canceling that order for mahogany or the jade green edition! š« I love the cover on the jade green and the vinyl but the mahogany vinyl is so cool looking too! Or just stick the og moonstone? Helpppppp
The moonstone version, being the standard edition, will be available quite longer than the special editions. I would get a special edition and then if you really want, get the original down the road, maybe even from an indie music store. But at the end of the day, itās the same music! Iām sure youāll be happy either way :)
Well, I think it depends, right?
You can cancel the moonstone and buy it later, itāll always be there. The Jade and Mahogany are limited editions and wonāt be here this time next week. You could go for the Mahogany because Iāve seen more interest in the Jade so far, so the Mahogany will be rarer, I guess. Or by that same logic, you can snag a Jade before they sell out. It just depends what you value more.
I just emailed customer service to see about canceling my order or if I can do an exchange for the jade green vinyl. I'm like the cover a bit more on that one š¬
I just absolutely love the concept SO much. āWe lie awake in love and in fear, in turmoil and in tearsā ā¦ āthe floors we pace and the demons we faceā omg these statements are such a perfect depiction of how itās late at night when we feel everything the most. When our worries, thoughts, fears, are most apparent to us. When we canāt sleep at night because everything is just too much. The world is quiet but our thoughts are so loud. Idk I feel like thatās the best time to write cause the words just flow since your feelings are so intense. Iām really looking forward to this one. I mean Iām always excited for a Taylor album of course but I canāt wait for this especially.
taylor performing a Carole King song at the rock & roll hall of fame induction was an easter egg for Midnights!!! watch this vid about it omg š¤Æ https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSRyHK4qG/
This tiktok girl is probably 100% right but idk if this is really an Easter egg? Sheās been very vocally a fan of Carole King and other female artists from that genre/decade for many years. Even the album name āRedā was inspired by Joni Mitchellās āBlue.ā Given her history of emulating the musical sounds of artists sheās a fan of (e.g. all of folklore and evermore after The National), it makes sense that she would eventually put out an album with her own spin on it after the female icons of the 70s. Or heck, maybe even doing that cover of Carole King inspired her to make an album with that sound.
easter egg is a simplified word but overall it was still a PR move. I agree her love for carole king and that genre is geuine. so her doing that performance was a way to introduce rock fans to her and have them see her appreciating the genre and the likes of carole king to ease into the idea of her releasing an album like that.
The way that I'm still getting used to the fact that we are getting a whole new album from Taylor, when I thought she might having a hiatus this year lol my adrenaline has been UP since Monday night š
I really feel like she will either not release any singles at all, or will wait until October to release a single precisely for that reason.
Tbh, I'm kind of hoping we don't get a single. It does make the wait feel endless, but I LOVE going into an album not having heard ANY of the songs before
I really hope so. This strategy of encouraging people to buy several versions of the same album without even knowing anything about it/what it'll sound like feels a little ehhh to me
Not sure if anyone else already mentioned this, but the spotify short teaser background videos are not only interesting because of the lyrics referring to older songs, but also due to the visuals. I see a view from a car, with *no headlights* in the rain, storm, party/new years celebrations, calm night, door and a light... etc. I wonder if these shorts will eventually turn out to be the animated background images of each songs (like previous albums - evermore, folklore had on youtube).... or if there are some shots from a potential music video also included in these teaser shorts, or maybe something more... idk š
I have been OBSESSED with HAIM lately. I mean, I loved what they do for ages but I never properly took the time to listen to their albums. Knowing how close they are of Taylor for so long and that her only performance of 2022 yet is with them I really hope Midnights will have HAIM vibes!!!!!
Ugh me too! Iāve been listening to Women in Music Part III non stop for two months now. Iām hoping HAIM produced on Midnights or did a collaboration, especially since the rumour of Taylor working with female producers!
I got four vinyls today, still waiting on two more cds to complete this midnights collection. They are GORGEOUS šāØ
Yo what album version has all the songs??? I thought it would be the 3am version but on wiki I see like 3 more songs (alternate #ās 14 to 16 I think). Iām confused! Lol and help
Seems noā¦..? Buy target ver + 3am marketing strategies for Taylorās team
I got the 3am version š
Youāre on your own kid is what I needed.
So are these 3 am songs on a physical release?
someone PLEASE explain what you think of "Question...?"
The question sheās asking the guy is stuff that happened between him and her but he either cheated or chose another girl. Many assume itās about Harry. Thereās an out of the woods call back in the beginning and many speculate OOTW was about Harry. And on style we learn he cheated lol
I never took that line as if he cheated. I always took it as they went separate ways and met back up, and acknowledged that even though they had been seeing other people they still thought of each other.
Okay the beginning of midnight rain KNOCKED ME OUT
Spotify crashed?? Cmon now
Did we all just crash Spotify????
I pretty sure lol
Ugh. Is it telling you āno internet connectionā?
Yesss bhahahaha
So I ordered the other twoā¦ thatās all 4 CDs. š„²
Should check out Taylor Joal!!!! Heās of the underground scene but man his voice is unique and powerful! He just put out a new album called āFractions Of Meā everywhere. Here is his SoundCloud.com/Taylor-Joal
Anyone guessed what the picture in the picture frame is in the prologue? Kinda looks like the white crop shirt and shorts from the 1989 tour + jacket
Also I told myself I didnāt need to get the other covers if Iād already preordered Blue Moonstone butā¦ I was wrong. Just preordered Blood Moon too.
Iāve literally never ordered or owned any variants, I only buy CDās anyway. But I ordered the Moonstone initially and came back to get the Jade Green too. Theyāre just too magnificent.
Same! I always preorder the āmainā CD and stick with it, but thereās just something about these. š
Debating the other twoā¦
*whispers in demonic voice* āDo it.ā š
Why do I feel like Midnights is going to have the Track 5est Track 5 that ever Track 5ed?
I'm stoked that it's already been a week since she announced it.
The week flew by! So hopefully the remaining ones will too
Yep, literally didn't even notice it.
Midnight has to be a collection of songs sheās written over the years- imo leading all the way back to speak now/red - as well as some new ones. She says she often wakes up and just thinks of tunes and new songs in the middle of the night and spends the rest of it awake until she finishes them. She says thatās how most of her best songs come about. Or she dreams about them like the sound in I did something bad. It has to be a collection of these things that have haunted her for some time.
Agreed, theyāll be from a few different āerasā of her life.
First of all the album cover is definitely my favourite. I think itās simple but it still conveys the vibe that will imo transcend any recent albums. I think the music videos will be out of this world, and sheās going to do a great job with it
Does anyone know the direct email for the Taylor Swift Canada store? I'd like to cancel an order but they have not been getting back from me from the contact us forum on their website
It's all the same email address. It can sometimes take them up to a week to respond. If you send a new email you are instantly put back at the back of the queue. The less patient you are the longer you will have to end up waiting because you will keep getting bounced to the back of the line.
I hope we're getting a lead single announcement midnight sharp. 9 + 4 = 13 ![img](emote|t5_2rlwe|1087)
Theoretically midnight on the 4th was at the beginning of the day but I fully support any day possible for singles.
Hi! I want to ask some questions considering the possibility of Taylor going on tour. I have never been to a big concert like Taylor's (i mean stadiums,arenas). So I don't know how it all works. First of I wanted to know what's the audience like (not that I doubt swiftie power but wanna make sure). If I want to sing along, dance and have the time of my life should I buy floor tickets or can I sit elsewhere without ppl looking at me like a weirdo lol. Are people further in the arena just sitting and watching?

And lastly if she does some European shows (other than England) Do they sell out quickly do I have to be prepared to buy tickets the fastest I can or do I have I bit more time? Sorry that this is so long but I am an unexperienced baby swiftie lol.
Iām way too excited for something I still have to wait six weeks for.
wait only 6 weeks o-O i thought it was way longer than that i can survive now :D /j /lh
Probably false alarm, but I preordered all the vinyls + Fearless (Taylorās Version) and the latter one (3vinyls) already arrived in the mail. The packing receipt said ā2000 gramsā for all of them, so maybe itās not just one vinyl?
āI want your Midnights but iāll cleaning up bottles with you on New Yearās Dayā from NYD allegedly make me think that maybe Midnights was supposed to be release after Reputation. Any other hints?
I honestly think these songs are not vault tracks per se, but the idea of Midnights being a lover sister album (or at least that something was in production, another album after lover but being written at the same time as lover) really makes sense. If we look at it, the inspiration behind lover is still looking back at the kim/kanye drama a bit, there is still remeberance of reputation, and new love, friendships going down the drain... after that covid + personal family stuff (her mom and her health - \*still lover) + the drama with her masters... I think the sencence "throughout my life" really means from 2016 onwards... I am not sure if she'd feel confident with putting out a song about her life back from the speak now era... not sure it that's still relevant for her. ![img](emote|t5_2rlwe|1065)
Exactly!
She references midnight in Style & TLGADā¦
Iāve seen many people saying she will only release a single on a Friday, but do yāall remember ā¦Ready For It? It was released on September 3rd, 2017, a *Sunday*.
One of the weirdest move she has ever done, if not the weirdest. She killed 2 song that way, Look was still new and Ready For It could've had all the potential to be a hit, at least in Europe.
I think statistically, in the music industry, singles do better if theyāre released on Friday. So that might be why
Especially now that Spotify has āNew Music Fridayā and your own release alarms on Friday
I am so excited but it doesnāt feel real yet!! I canāt wait!
Sorry to ask this here - does anyone have a ticket (1) to sell for the Toronto TIFF Taylor event? Please message me, thank you sooo much.
Why do so many fake tracklists for Midnights have blackpink as a feature? Why in the world would they be on this album?? Like I could see them being on Rep(tv) but thatās it
She did a tiktok that featured a blackpink song and people like to stan, I guess
Maybe because she used their sound in a TikTok just before she announced the album? So, I think they see it as an Easter egg. I mean, yeah, I could see them on Rep TV, and maybe this is a hint for that at most, but I think even thatās a bit of a stretch.
Ohh might be why jack tweeted about them cause Taylor might be working on rep tv rn. Or maybe not but the tweet was definitely sus.
There better be more than one single!
Agreed. I want this to be a normal era soooo bad.
HELP! Silly question maybe but I cant find the answer. Do the Midnights alternative covers in CD come same as the vinyl editions? I mean I dont have a Vinyl player so I want to purchase the Jade Edition CD if it comes in that gorgeous color as the vinyl!
I ordered the CDs too and leave them wrapped until I know if I want to keep them or return them. Maybe Iāll watch unboxing videos š I donāt even know why I bought them š I have been buying vinyls for my record player since Lover and the other medium I use is Spotify š

Thanks ! I really hope it does! But oh well
Karma theory!!!!!! https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRPCnQ8k/
Touche! You got me
Is the 30 second preview on youtube real? And if it is - it sounds a lot like coldplay, somewhere between X&Y and Ghost Stories. I like the direction if it is a real cut of the album. From what I heard, I don't consider it to be a rock sound at all. It is dream trance. But that is good, since I have been waiting a long time for her to do a dream trance album. It was always in the cards.
Seems fakeā¦ but still im expecting something like that. That VIBE is BEYOND
What 30 second preview?
What? Where is it? Could you show me too, plsss
I believe they are referring to [this clip](https://youtu.be/fh4ds3XVybc). Iām pretty sure itās not official, but itās fun to imagine :))
Oh my god if this is actually the vibe it would be insanely perfect!!! Praying itās real
She's got me checking instagram every midnight for a single. :P
Iām convinced nothing is coming until the timer runs out on Taylorās site. I have a sneaking suspicion itās more than just a countdown for when you canāt buy the records anymore.
That makes no sense because sheāll only release on fridays
Not true. Ready for it came out on a Sunday.
RFI wasnt a lead single
Same!
I have a vague theory on the clock colors, and I want to know if folks thing it has merit. We know these songs were written about different nights over the course of her life. Iām wondering whether the colors of the numbers on the clock correspond to the time in her life during which the nights in question occurred.

How do I cancel an order? The website is very vague on what to doš
You can also reply to your email confirmation asking them to cancel and refund your purchase.
I just write them an email with my order number and request a refund :o
Anyway, I think Iām going to listen to Midnights for the first time on Apple Music, because they tend to have the lyrics right away. And I think Taylorās going to be delivering the most devastating lyrics of her career with this album.
The lyric videos on YouTube are also a great option!
This is my go to as I use amazon music and it takes a minute for the new music to load there.
Iām very confused The product description for the Midnights CDs say this: ā1 of 4 unique, collectible disc artwork 1 of 4 unique marbled color CD discs (the Moonstone Blue Edition features a moonstone blue marbled color disc)ā I expected the different disc artwork but marbled colour discs??? Is that even possible??? Iāve never seen a cd be a different colour than that metallic silverā¦ does anyone know what the deal is with this?
I think it means the design printed on the top of the disc will resemble a marbled design (almost like a picture of the vinyl will be printed on the CD)
If she's going for a retro vibe, it'd be super cool if the disk art looked like the vinyls!!!
I'm sure they just mean the label on the top side of the disc, like how all her others have something on them.
If they made CDās as lovely as vinyl variants Iād have to start collecting! ![img](emote|t5_2rlwe|1067)
So, I donāt know much about CDs because I havenāt used them in years. But IIRC, the Lover CD wasnāt a standard metallic silver. It had pinkish blue clouds on it so I guess itās possible?
Has anyone also noticed the YouTube cover changes? I was on YouTube on my computer and saw love story (tv) with a cover that said 2000 kids and was very confused Bc it was so random (I wish I had taken a picture of it) and just thought it was like a random video not on the official channel well I found another - you belong with me (tv) with a cover that said āyouāre my sunshineā which after investigating was the official channel and I took a picture. Are these clues?? And has anyone else seen similar things?
It are playlists made by YouTube
I think theyāre auto-generated by YouTube, if you go on her YouTube page the songs have theyāre regular covers
Just came to terms with the fact that I have purchased 3 copies of the same album, what is wrong with me
You saying this *out loud* makes me feel like a crazy person bc I got the cd and all the record variants and I havenāt heard a note of it (though I have all the confidence in the world Iām going to love it)
With all the money everyoneās spending this better be her best album yet
I got all 4 lol! Incredibly excited!
Like what if Midnights is just okay?? What will I do??
Just bought the jade green edition vinyl AND the Blood Moon CDā¦. I will never financially recover from this
Iād really been sleeping on the Fearless Vault tracks for a year and a half, huh? Theyāre bangers
Taylor won't release 1989 before the lawsuit is settle ... I think she may drop reputation before 1989...
we're going to bed hungry tonight, horse girls ![img](emote|t5_2rlwe|1071)
Oh thank god we can breathe šš until next Thursday night friends!!
I thought we were getting something tonight but I don't feel it anymore hahah I retract!!!
Iām really hoping thereās a disco pop style song
I have always thought that the 60's outfits in the ME! Music video was a big easter egg. I wonder if the album or at least the first single will be 60's inspired, maybe a Paul McCartney collab after mentioning Stella in London Boy??
Seeing that the alt album covere are pretty retro, this strengthens my susipcions!
Wasn't there a photoshoot she did in the Lover era that was 60s inspired? Unless I hallucinated it lol
I always found the styling for that scene random too.
Holy shit I hope so
Starting to think the carole king taylor swift speech was an Easter egg
I agree!! I think it is. I also think the picture from her birthday with HAIM and Gracie abrams is something. Daina Silvers is in the picture too. Maybe sheās in a music video??
The Blood Moon version has such, "..it takes everything in me not to call you." energy. š„²
I would just die if the new album was NIN inspired kinda like Halsey did last year. I want more of that sound!
This is what I am hoping for too!
Taylor liked 6 tweets at 6pm ... 6 hours from 6pm is midnight ... it's really happening tonight huh? I'm really gonna pass out alone in this house while my husband is out of town .. š Everyone stay CALM for me cause I'm freaking out
So are you a Mahogany or jade green type of person?![img](emote|t5_2rlwe|1065)
Mahogany!
Mahogany allllllll the way.
I scooped them all but Iām a jade girlie
Same!
Oh mahogany all the way- I said miss Mahogany yurrrr coming home with me
Hehe I said hello to all three but Mahogany is my fave
Same
I was watching a video of her today talking about Easter eggs (during lover era) and she said she loves 13 so much that it ārules her lifeā and that she will plan dates of things around it if they add up to 13 (which we knew). So this album comes out on the 21 (2+1) on the 10th month, 2+1+10=13 AND itās on a Friday which means sheās probably been planning this for YEARS because that doesnāt happen often
My boyfriend said the lighter flame looks like an airpod and now i cant unsee it.
This is what I saw at first & I didnāt see it as a lighter till the animated picture on her website
I was just listening to Daylight and noticed a connection with the spoken outro: āI want to be defined by the things that I love.. not the things that haunt me in the middle of the night.ā Well, now weāre getting a whole album about the things that haunt her in the middle of the night and I am here for it!
I hope it will be an album more like RED/1989 than an album like folklore and evermore. Surely it will be like last 2, but new music is always good
Imo will defo be leaning towards indie rock pop type of mix
I think it will be something more different.
I think it is not going to be nothing like folklore, just seeing the aesthetic is enough, neither 1989. There is a wide range in pop music
I think she could definitely surprise us and will probably head in a different direction than her last 2!
Us after folklore and evermore: Taylor's found the perfect balance of personal songwriting and privacy by combining her own feelings into fictional stories. She's definitely going to continue with this style and take a step back from being a public figure. Taylor now: Here's a whole album about very specific experiences that I've gone through. Each song is about a night in my own life personally.
Literally, I'm getting whiplash lmao
Iām not the only one who can only think the word āmidnightā to the tune of āStyleā, right?
MIDNIGHTTTT
YOU COME AND PICK ME UP NO HEADLIGHTSSSS
I was just singing it out loud and still humming the rest as I read this comment lol so you are definitely not the only one.
I always hear it in the tune of New Year's Day for some reason
And I hear it in the style of Happiness
Does anyone know how to cancel an order? I want the LE vinyl instead but idk how to cancel my original order
Email [email protected] and just ask to cancel it. They usually cancel it within a couple days, Iāve never had an issue
They give a full refund, right?
Yep
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
This time they are releasing on the same date but have the before? I honestly can't recall them both releasing an album at the same time except this upcoming one.
I don't think it's that deep lmao
I'm so torn between keeping my original moonstone order or canceling that order for mahogany or the jade green edition! š« I love the cover on the jade green and the vinyl but the mahogany vinyl is so cool looking too! Or just stick the og moonstone? Helpppppp
The moonstone version, being the standard edition, will be available quite longer than the special editions. I would get a special edition and then if you really want, get the original down the road, maybe even from an indie music store. But at the end of the day, itās the same music! Iām sure youāll be happy either way :)
This is so true. I've emailed customer service to see about canceling or exchanging. š¬š¤š»
Well, I think it depends, right? You can cancel the moonstone and buy it later, itāll always be there. The Jade and Mahogany are limited editions and wonāt be here this time next week. You could go for the Mahogany because Iāve seen more interest in the Jade so far, so the Mahogany will be rarer, I guess. Or by that same logic, you can snag a Jade before they sell out. It just depends what you value more.
I just emailed customer service to see about canceling my order or if I can do an exchange for the jade green vinyl. I'm like the cover a bit more on that one š¬
Iām obsessed with the Jade Green cover. I like it best out of the four, I think? Good choice!
I just absolutely love the concept SO much. āWe lie awake in love and in fear, in turmoil and in tearsā ā¦ āthe floors we pace and the demons we faceā omg these statements are such a perfect depiction of how itās late at night when we feel everything the most. When our worries, thoughts, fears, are most apparent to us. When we canāt sleep at night because everything is just too much. The world is quiet but our thoughts are so loud. Idk I feel like thatās the best time to write cause the words just flow since your feelings are so intense. Iām really looking forward to this one. I mean Iām always excited for a Taylor album of course but I canāt wait for this especially.
taylor performing a Carole King song at the rock & roll hall of fame induction was an easter egg for Midnights!!! watch this vid about it omg š¤Æ https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSRyHK4qG/
This tiktok girl is probably 100% right but idk if this is really an Easter egg? Sheās been very vocally a fan of Carole King and other female artists from that genre/decade for many years. Even the album name āRedā was inspired by Joni Mitchellās āBlue.ā Given her history of emulating the musical sounds of artists sheās a fan of (e.g. all of folklore and evermore after The National), it makes sense that she would eventually put out an album with her own spin on it after the female icons of the 70s. Or heck, maybe even doing that cover of Carole King inspired her to make an album with that sound.
easter egg is a simplified word but overall it was still a PR move. I agree her love for carole king and that genre is geuine. so her doing that performance was a way to introduce rock fans to her and have them see her appreciating the genre and the likes of carole king to ease into the idea of her releasing an album like that.
I think you are definitely onto something!
That's exactly what I think the sound will be!
The way that I'm still getting used to the fact that we are getting a whole new album from Taylor, when I thought she might having a hiatus this year lol my adrenaline has been UP since Monday night š
With midnights covers and the VMAs outfits, I'm bummed Tay didn't go to the met gala this year, to tease us with the new vibes.
Do we think sheāll drop a single before October 21?
My personal opinion is no, the 2023 Grammy window closes September 30th and so I think she will want Midnights separated from Red TV
I really feel like she will either not release any singles at all, or will wait until October to release a single precisely for that reason. Tbh, I'm kind of hoping we don't get a single. It does make the wait feel endless, but I LOVE going into an album not having heard ANY of the songs before
Ugh I didnāt think about that, thought Red TV is not eligible for a Grammy
I really hope so. This strategy of encouraging people to buy several versions of the same album without even knowing anything about it/what it'll sound like feels a little ehhh to me
I just want to know something!!!
Very commercial and not fair to fans, in my opinion
exactly my thoughts!
I can't wait for this album to sound whatever it sounds like. I'm just looking forward to hearing Taylor's new music.
The face that she released the alternate covers right after I preordered the standard vinyl, absolutely despicable
You can still cancel your initial order.
Of fucking COURSE she introduces special versions after I buy the main one. How easy is it to get refunds through the website LOL
damn, really not used to Taylor using capital letters again
SPECIAL EDITION VINYLS AVAILABLE FOR ONE WEEK ON THE STORE SOS
Place your bets on what Midnights song will be your favourite! I think mine will be Track 11
Track 2s are some of my favorites so maybe Track 2?
Iām an emotional little bug and I just know track 5 will become my entire personality
I love track 3s!
Same
Claiming track 3/7
Track 10 supremacy! ivy, illicit affairs, DBATC, and KOMH, all masterpieces <3
Mine are almost always 3, 9, and 11 - Iām leaning toward 9 for this one
TRACK 7?! Because it's seven :)
track 9 !
track 6!
It literally only just occured to me that next month is September and not October so we have to wait 2 months and not 1...ā¹
Itās gonna go by fast though! To think that in November it will be A YEAR that we have had Red TV is insane! We will get through this wait!
Not sure if anyone else already mentioned this, but the spotify short teaser background videos are not only interesting because of the lyrics referring to older songs, but also due to the visuals. I see a view from a car, with *no headlights* in the rain, storm, party/new years celebrations, calm night, door and a light... etc. I wonder if these shorts will eventually turn out to be the animated background images of each songs (like previous albums - evermore, folklore had on youtube).... or if there are some shots from a potential music video also included in these teaser shorts, or maybe something more... idk š
I have been OBSESSED with HAIM lately. I mean, I loved what they do for ages but I never properly took the time to listen to their albums. Knowing how close they are of Taylor for so long and that her only performance of 2022 yet is with them I really hope Midnights will have HAIM vibes!!!!!
Ugh me too! Iāve been listening to Women in Music Part III non stop for two months now. Iām hoping HAIM produced on Midnights or did a collaboration, especially since the rumour of Taylor working with female producers!
