"Basically the first video 'Anti-Hero' I was like, 'This is going to be the first single' and I knew that but I want to make a video that is just for the fans who like certain things like glitter and easter eggs and lots of little cameos so basically I was thinking about midnights, the concept. What do we hear about midnights a lot? We hear about it a lot when we talk about the Cinderella fairytale. So what if we did a little twist on a Cinderella story and I can cast my friends," she relayed.

"Midnights is a wild ride of an album and I couldn’t be happier that my co-pilot on this adventure was @jackantonoff. 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," she said on release day.

In her post, Taylor also shared that they created the Midnights album by revisiting the various midnight stories in their lives.
She shared, "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. Jack and I found ourselves back in New York, alone, recording every night, staying up late and exploring old memories and midnights past," she relayed.

Taylor remarked that 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."
