Midnights

Midnights is the tenth studio album by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. It was released on October 21, 2022, through Republic Records. A concept album about nocturnal ruminations, it contains confessional songs that explore regret, self-criticism, fantasies, heartbreak, and infatuation. The lyrical details allude to Swift's personal life and fame.

Swift produced the standard edition of Midnights with Jack Antonoff, while Sounwave, Jahaan Sweet, and Keanu Beats each co-produced two tracks. The album is minimalist synth-pop, electropop, bedroom pop, and dream pop, with elements of electronica, hip-hop, and R&B. Its mid-tempo, electronic soundscape is characterized by analog synthesizers, sparse drum machine beats, and digitally manipulated vocals. Antonoff and Aaron Dessner co-produced an extended 3am Edition that was surprise-released three hours after the standard edition.

Swift announced Midnights at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards and unveiled the standard tracklist on the video-sharing platform TikTok. Midnights topped the charts and has received multi-platinum certifications in Australia, Canada, Denmark, New Zealand, Spain, and the United Kingdom. In the United States, it became Swift's fifth album to debut atop the Billboard 200 with over one million first-week copies and the best-selling album of 2022, and it has been certified seven-times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. Its songs made Swift the first artist to monopolize the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100. It spawned three singles: "Anti-Hero" peaked at number one, and "Lavender Haze" and "Karma" both peaked at number two.
