Taylor Swift Releases 7 More Songs for Midnights’ 3 A.M. Edition

Taylor Swift pulled a move few celebs dare attempt: breaking big,“chaotic” news at 3 A.M. After hyping up the very early-morning announcement, Swift revealed on her social media that she is releasing an additional 7(!!) songs for Midnights‘ 3 A.M. edition. The tracks are “The Great War,” “Bigger Than the Whole Sky,” “Paris,” “High Infidelity,” “Glitch,” “Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve,” and “Dear Reader.” You can listen to them all here on Spotify.

“Surprise! I think of Midnights as a complete concept album, with those 13 songs forming a full picture of the intensities of that mystifying, mad hour. However! There were other songs we wrote on our journey to find that magic 13,” Swift wrote. “I’m calling them 3am tracks. Lately I’ve been loving the feeling of sharing more of our creative process with you, like we do with From The Vault tracks. So it’s 3am and I’m giving them to you now. 🌌”

Swift’s announcement comes just three hours after she released Midnights, her new album.

She reflected on the album creation process on her Instagram, thanking her collaborators. “Midnights is a wild ride of an album and I couldn’t be happier that my co pilot on this adventure was @jackantonoff,” Swift wrote. “He’s my friend for life (presumptuous I know but I stand by it) and we’ve been making music together for nearly a decade HOWEVER… this is our first album we’ve done with just the two of us as main collaborators. We’d been toying with ideas and had written a few things we loved, but Midnights actually really coalesced and flowed out of us when our partners (both actors) did a film together in Panama [Joe Alwyn, Swift’s boyfriend, and Margaret Qualley, Antonoff’s fiancée]. Jack and I found ourselves back in New York, alone, recording every night, staying up late and exploring old memories and midnights past. We were so lucky to also work with our brilliant collaborators @sam_dew, @sounwave, Lana Del Rey, @jahaansweet, @keanubeats, William Bowery [Alwyn’s pseudonym], and @zoeisabellakravitz. @sharp_stick was our excellent engineer. The wonderful and wise @bethgarrabrant took the album photographs. Midnights is 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. Which is out now.”

Earlier that evening, Swift teased all the music videos she shot for Midnights. “Here’s the teaser trailer for the videos I’ve made for Midnights 🌌” she wrote. “Thank you @amazonmusic for premiering this, the first video for Anti-Hero will be out tomorrow at 8am ET. And Midnights will be here SO SOON!!!”
