Singer/songwriter/actress/director Dr. Taylor Swift gifted her fans and followers with a TikTok series, Midnights Mayhem With Me, to announce the tracklist for her tenth studio album, Midnights.
In each episode, as cheesy hold-music plays, Taylor employed a “technologically advanced device” (aka a bingo cage) to allow “fate to decide exactly what track titles” she would announce “and in what order.”
The cage housed 13 balls labeled with the numbers 1-13, indicating the number of tracks on Midnights … (Of course, Midnights has 13 tracks!)
Taylor speaks into what appears to be a red *rotary* phone (look it up) which was programmed to distort the ‘Cardigan‘ singer’s voice.
The cover art from the MMWM series expands on the established 70’s aesthetic pairing an egg-shelled background with russet/kobicha colored lettering and lines.
Wearing a different outfit and hairstyle for each episode, Taylor ensured her followers 13 ‘midnights’ to remember with her first-ever track announcement. (Maybe Tay can call her next album *8:30* for those of us who aren’t built for midnight releases … just a suggestion.)
Video one of the series began with Taylor admitting her “habit of dropping cryptic clues and Easter eggs” when promoting new music.
“I am not here to deny that, but I am here to defy that,” the eleven-time Grammy winner promised as she welcomed her followers to her TikTok series, ‘Midnights Mayhem With Me.’
Without further ado, the Midnights tracklist:
Track 1- ‘Lavendar Haze‘
Track 2- ‘Maroon‘
Track 3- ‘Anti-Hero‘
