Midnights, a new Taylor Swift album, sets Spotify records
On her new album, she moves away from the personal indie songwriting of Folklore and Evermore in favour of electronica, synth-pop, and sometimes even beats with hip-hop influences.
As her new album surpassed Spotify’s record for most albums streamed in a single day, Taylor Swift commended her fans for “doing something mind-blowing.”
Following its release on Friday, the star’s most recent single, Midnights, saw a spike in interest. However, a few of the song’s profanity-laced lyrics raised some eyebrows.
Less than 24 hours later, the most popular music streaming service said that the album had the most streams in a single day in the service’s history.
In response to the news, Swift penned: “How did I become so fortunate to have you all out here doing something so amazing?”
Like, what even occurred just now?
After the new album was added to the site, Spotify users noticed that there were a lot more problems.
According to Swift, the album is about “a voyage through terrors and wonderful dreams” and “13 sleepless nights strewn around my life.”
She moves away from the personal indie songs she wrote for her last two albums, Folklore and Evermore, in favour of electronica, synth-pop, and sometimes even beats with hip-hop influences.
Swift co-wrote the majority of the record with rock band Bleachers’ lead singer Jack Antonoff once more.
She posted a picture of herself with her collaborators on Instagram to celebrate the release of the album. She called Antonoff her “co-pilot” in the post.
Intensity, highs and lows, ebbs and flows, and intensity are all jumbled together in Midnights, she said.
“Life might be gloomy, starry, overcast, frightful, thrilling and warm, frigid, romantic, or lonely. “similar to Midnights”
