The fourth track on the album, Snow on the Beach, will have a collaboration with none other than Lana Del Rey. As a result of the two celebrities being photographed in a group selfie taken earlier this year, there had previously been rumours of them getting together.
Moreover, Swift also talked about the song Lavender Haze, which she revealed was inspired by her relationship with Joe Alwyn. “Like my relationship for six years, we’ve had to dodge weird rumours, tabloid stuff, and we just ignore it,” Swift said in the TikTok. “And so this song is sort of about the act of ignoring that stuff to protect the real stuff.”
Giving a special mention to the third song on the album, Anti-Hero, Swift termed it as “one of my favourite songs I’ve ever written.”
“This song is a real guided tour throughout all the things that I tend to hate about myself,” she explained. “We all hate things about ourselves, and it’s all of those aspects of the things we dislike and like about ourselves that we have to come to terms with if we’re going to be this person. So, yeah, I like Anti-Hero a lot because I think it’s really honest.”
Taylor Swift’s 10 studio album, Midnights, releases on October 21st.
