US music superstar Taylor Swift released her 10th studio album, Midnights, on Friday, as well as additional tracks made during the record-making process.
The 32-year-old singer-songwriter describes the 13-track collection “as 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,” she said on Instagram.
The first track is Lavender Haze, a term about being in love that Swift said she first heard while watching television series Mad Men. She described the album's first single, Anti-Hero, which dives into her insecurities, as one of her favourites.
Meanwhile, Snow on the Beach features singer Lana Del Rey, who Swift said she has long admired.
The Shake It Off and Bad Blood singer also posted on Instagram that while Midnights is a concept album about “the intensities of that mystifying, mad hour”, she loves sharing her creative process with fans and has dropped additional songs that didn't make the record.
