But one “Maroon” mystery remains: When the hell did Swift have a roommate, not to mention one who buys “cheap-ass screw top rosé”? 3) “Anti-Hero” We know that it’s referencing a failed romance (“How the hell did we lose sight of us again? / Sobbin’ with your head in your hands / Ain’t that the way shit always ends?”), and the pair met at the Met Gala (“the one I was dancing with in New York, no shoes”). Everything here points to this song being about a short-lived relationship - possibly the one she shared with Tom Hiddleston in 2016. If you thought “Lavender Haze” would be the only song on the album to reference a very specific color, you’ve clearly never listened to an album by Taylor Swift, noted inventor of the color red. The only girl they see (the only girl they see) is a one night or a wife.” This sentiment is also referenced by the line, “I’m damned if I do give a damn what people say.” The lines suggest that Swift is tired of this line of questioning, and signals an interest in subverting gender roles and a desire to be seen as more than a wife or girlfriend. The singer has said as much in talking about the song on social media: “My relationship for six years, we’ve had to dodge weird rumors, tabloid stuff, and we just ignore it, and so this song is sort of about the act of ignoring that stuff to protect the real stuff.” She specified that she came across the phrase “lavender haze” while watching Mad Men, and that it described the feeling of being in love Gaylors, naturally, were not pleased.Ī post shared by Taylor Swift and Alwyn have frequently dodged rumors and questions that they’re engaged, and this song seems to address that speculation head-on as Swift sings, “All they keep asking me (all they keep asking me) is if I’m gonna be your bride. Gaylor theorists (Swifties who believe Swift is bisexual and has dated several of her female friends) may have been convinced that the “lavender” mentioned in the title was referring to the historically queer connotations of the color, but the first song on Midnights appears to be about Joe Alwyn, Swift’s boyfriend of six years. Rather, Midnights is a return to an intensely autobiographical Taylor, making it extremely ripe hunting material for sleuthing Swifties. The rest of Midnights - plus its seven bonus tracks that Swift surprise-released at 3 am - feels equally personal gone are the fictional stories woven throughout her pandemic indie rock albums Folklore and Evermore. “ a real guided tour throughout all the things I tend to hate about myself,” she explains. She’s already shared that the album is made up of “the stories of 13 sleepless nights scattered throughout my life,” and in her pre-release teasers on Instagram and TikTok, Swift revealed that “Anti-Hero” will be the lead single, a song about her struggles with fame and biggest insecurities. Of course, there have already been fun little gems for Swifties to enjoy for one, Midnights came out as Swift turned exactly 12,000 days old, alluding to the numbers around a clock, a present motif in her earlier work (and especially in this album). In the black-and-white American version, directed by Michelle Mahrer, McLachlan sings and plays guitar in a long black dress in a desert.As of October 21 at midnight, Taylor Swift’s 10th studio album, Midnights, is officially out in the world, and besides the obvious question (is it more like Reputation or more like Lover?), fans can finally dig into all the lyrical hints and Easter eggs characteristic of a much-hyped Swift release in their standard manner: fanatically. At the end she stands on top of a rock and throws flowers into the water. In the Canadian version of the music video, directed by Mark Jowett and Dermot Shane, McLachlan sings "Vox" while falling water and flowers are superimposed over her. "Vox" was also featured on McLachlan's 2005 Bloom: Remix Album as a contemporary dance remix by Tom Middleton. "Vox" reached number 90 on Canada's RPM Top Singles chart but failed to chart elsewhere. The 1989 Arista Records release of Touch contained a different mix of the song from the original 1988 album, and different extended remixes were released as well. It was released in 1988 in Canada from her album Touch, and as a CD-single in 1992. "Vox" is the debut single by Canadian singer-songwriter Sarah McLachlan.
