Taylor Swift, who has seamlessly crossed genres from country to pop and folk while remaining at the forefront of the music scene, sparked major buzz with the lead single from her acclaimed October 2022 release, Midnights, thanks to its introspective lyrics.

As she herself has said, the song explores “the parts of myself I dislike,” voicing feelings like self-loathing and anxiety—emotions anyone might harbor—in strikingly direct terms.

Yet the sound is catchy synth-pop, and the contrast with its propulsive melody is simply brilliant.

This candid confession captured listeners’ hearts worldwide, keeping the song at No.

S.

charts for eight consecutive weeks.
