Three hours following the 12:00am release of her highly anticipated 10th studio LP, Midnights, Taylor Swift surprised her fans by dropping Midnights (3 a.m. Edition), an extended version of the album featuring seven additional songs.
For weeks leading to the release Swift promised something “special” and “very chaotic” was en route and she clearly delivered with these “3 a.m. tracks,’ and taking to her Instagram account the multi-Grammy award winning singer/writer stated:
“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.” “I’m calling them ‘3 a.m. 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 3 a.m. and I’m giving them to you now. ”
Following the full length’s original closer “Mastermind,” Swift added the seven new titles, including “The Great War,” “High Infidelity,” and “Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve,” co-written and produced by Dessner, who also worked on Folklore. The other tracks – co-produced by Jack Antonoff – include “Bigger Than the Whole Sky,” Paris,” “Glitch,” and “Dear Reader.”
Throughout the week, Taylor was revealing lyrics from her new album on billboards with Spotify around the world, and her new album includes the video for “Anti-Hero,” and lyric videos. She also teased a special teaser trailer of the album videos during Thursday night’s Saints-Cardinals game.
