What is 'SwiftTok'? Inside Taylor Swift's Rabid TikTok Fanbase (Gizmodo)

Taylor Swift has fostered a dedicated group of hungry followers that discuss her every move on TikTok, just like they did on Tumblr before.

As users continue to assume that everything Swift says and does is an Easter egg, theories on her music will continue to run rampant. While Swift had been posting on her official TikTok account sporadically prior to the reveal of Midnights, the album announcement began Swift’s own marketing strategy on the platform. As a result, Swift—whether intentionally or not—was able to accelerate the rabidity of her fanbase into conspiracy theorists intent on perpetuating her brand and name on the short video app. [BookTok for bookreaders](https://gizmodo.com/ebook-amazon-return-policy-1849573206) and CleanTok for those who love to clean (or watch other people clean), SwiftTok is a community on TikTok for Swift fans and Swift content. While a majority of the album’s specifics were kept in the dark, Swift began to reveal the unknown song titles one at a time, each with an individual TikTok posted at midnight every other weekday beginning on September 21. Just the crumb of an album title and release date led to widespread hysteria within the TikTok niche. [‘Look What You Made Me Do.’](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tmd-ClpJxA&ab_channel=TaylorSwiftVEVO) Literally the whole video is just an Easter egg. While some of the content on SwiftTok is typical music fan fodder, some of the most prevalent content is conspiracy theories. Over the last few years, Swifties have been cultivating a raucous ecosystem on [TikTok](https://gizmodo.com/tiktok-keylogging-privacy-meta-1849433690), “SwiftTok.” Users dedicate themselves to her music discussion and, more commonly, conspiracy theories about her. [“stan culture”](https://www.npr.org/2019/10/07/767903704/the-2010s-social-media-and-the-birth-of-stan-culture) has helped bolster the fanbases of popular musicians everywhere, there’s a main distinction that separated Taylor Swift (and SwiftTok) from her contemporaries. “I think the best messages are cryptic ones.” Swift’s egg-laying truly began with her 2006 self-titled debut album—in the CD’s lyric booklet, Swift would capitalize different letters amongst the lyrics, which would spell out a secret message.

Taylor Swift's References to Midnights, Ranked (Vulture)

Ahead of Taylor Swift's Midnights album, we're ranking the 13 references to midnights on her previous albums.

So while “Nothing New” lacks the “love” we are so hoping will give us a reprieve, it’s still pretty midnights-y. “All Too Well” is “midnights-y” to a tee. She says she wants to be defined by those things, and now she is releasing an album completely defined by what keeps her up in the middle of the night. While the exact lyric mentioning midnight isn’t necessarily “midnights-y” by the way I’m defining it, the song is haunting in the way these sleepless nights seem to be — like past and future happiness are shadows of the “terror and sweet dreams” mentioned in the Midnights announcement, cast upon the walls of our “self-made cages” from our lit lanterns. She’ll do what she can to make sure that they stay “you and me forevermore” regardless of how tough it is and regardless of the mistakes they’ll make. [Rebekah Harkness](https://www.vulture.com/2020/07/rebekah-harkness-taylor-swift-rhode-island-house.html), but damn, she sounded like quite the woman. (I just hope this guy had his headlights on.) If only the scale included yearning — see: “I wanna feel you by my side, standing next to me / You gotta come on, come on / Say that we’ll be together” —then “Untouchable” would be near the top. Dreaming in the middle of the night? The mistakes here aren’t the ones that will blow up your entire life. If this all sounds familiar, it’s because there are, in a fitting Swiftian twistTaylor’s lucky number is 13 , 13 tracks in her back catalog that have explicitly mentioned “midnight” or “the middle of the night.” In honor of Midnights madness, I’ve ranked them by how “midnights-y” they feel.

A "special very chaotic surprise" comes at 3 a.m., then the “Anti-Hero” music video at 8 a.m., then lyric videos on YouTube later that night.

How Taylor Swift mastered the singer-songwriter blueprint (The Independent)

She has 11 Grammys, nine major-label albums, university sources studying her work and an unstoppable fandom... so how did Taylor Swift conquer the music ...

“We’re using Swift’s songs to see some basic literary tropes and paradigms in action (the work of metaphor, simile, free indirect discourse),” Professor Elizabeth Scala, who sees Swift as a relevant bridging gap between contemporary and historical fiction, tells me. Labelling them her “quill lyrics”, “fountain pen lyrics” and “glitter gel pen lyrics”, she demonstrated a playful self-awareness that runs parallel with her keen literary sensibilities. He points out that a song such as “No Body, No Crime”, from Swift’s 2020 album evermore, follows a woman involved in a murder mystery, “but no one is going and thinking of that as an actual confession. She switched from Romeo and Juliet romance to a Game of Thrones-style revenge epic, singing: “But I got smarter, I got harder in the nick of time/ Honey, I rose up from the dead, I do it all the time/ I got a list of names, and yours is in red, underlined.” For many, “Look What You Made Me Do” was a case of Swift reshaping the narrative of herself as a beleaguered pop star. “Her lyrics are written in a way as if she’s directly speaking to her fans, and I don’t think many artists have the ability to do that as well as Taylor does.” For fans, the success of Swift’s songwriting has much to do with the way she makes her listeners feel understood, particularly her young female audience. One of the ways Swift achieves this is by leaving “Easter eggs”, where familiar images or phrases crop up in different songs and their accompanying music videos. Since then, many of her greatest hits have illustrated her prowess in capturing sprawling romances and fleeting, loaded interactions, among them “Love Story” and “Fearless”, both from her 2008 album Fearless, and “cardigan”, which saw Swift’s literary attachment to clothing metaphors resurface in the lead single for her surprise 2020 album folklore. And as she prepares to release her 10th studio album, Midnights, it seems as though she’s yet to reach the pinnacle of her songwriting prowess. Since the beginning of her career, she’s demonstrated her ability to balance the universal with the hyper-specific. She became unafraid of upsetting the status quo and critics, and played around with the role of the villain – particularly in her cool, self-assured sixth studio album Reputation. Her songs have been compared to the revered works of artists as far apart as Beyoncé, Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan.

We'll have to wait for the announcement to know more about where Taylor will be playing. Prices for her upcoming tour will probably not be the same, but could be a similar price depending on the location. Taylor was scheduled to perform at the iconic festival in 2020 alongside fellow headliners Kendrick Lamar and Paul McCartney. Thanks to her announcement, we know for sure that Taylor will be touring in the UK. It's likely that Taylor will not perform any old songs that she has not yet re-recorded. She was then scheduled to tour her Lover album with a series of Lover Fest shows in 2020, but had to cancel due to the pandemic.

The moment Taylor Swift played 'Best of You' to Dave Grohl and ... (Far Out Magazine)

One night, Taylor Swift played the Foo Fighters classic 'Best of You' to Dave Grohl and Paul McCartney, and it became a night to remember. Read here.

I just remember thinking, ‘Are you the catalyst for the most fun times ever?’ Is it your willingness to get up and play music that makes everyone feel like this is a thing that can happen tonight?” The ever-affable McCartney agreed before the ‘Shake It Off’ singer continued: “And I remember thinking it would have been so much fun because the times that I’ve run into you, I correlate with being some of the most fun nights of my life. Later though, Grohl revealed on The Howard Stern Show that he didn’t recognise his song because he was “stoned to the bone”. “I was actually thinking about Taylor Swift and her relationship to her young fans and how it’s sort of a sisterly thing,” he expressed. It turns out that being one of the best-selling names on earth tends to open up doors to the inner sanctum, a place in which to rub shoulders with the greats of the industry. This favourable PR comes from her defiantly re-recording some of her albums due to a battle with her old record label and collaborating with Haim on the incredibly heady ‘Gasoline’.

Swift’s longtime friend and onetime [quarantine pal](https://wwd.com/business-news/media/nyt-great-performers-2020-list-tv-tiktok-michaela-coel-sarah-cooper-1234672957/) [Zoë Kravitz](https://www.vulture.com/2022/08/zoe-kravitz-channing-tatum-pussy-island-movie-casting.html) is credited on the opener, “Lavender Haze.” Swift doesn’t usually pull her celebrity friends into writing sessions, but this makes a bit more sense — Kravitz is also in a duo called Lolawolf, and is in fact [working on](https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/zoe-kravitz-jack-antonoff-solo-album-vulnerable-1235031331/) an album with Antonoff, who also wrote on “Lavender Haze.” That song also credits Sounwave (who previously worked on [Lover](https://www.vulture.com/2019/08/taylor-swift-lover-album-review.html)’s “London Boy”) and Sam Dew, who are [Antonoff’s bandmates in the project Red Hearse](https://www.vulture.com/2019/08/jack-antonoff-sounwave-sam-dew-red-hearse-interview.html), as well as Jahaan Sweet, who’s worked with Beyoncé and Kendrick Lamar. The pop star has confirmed she’s once again working with the producer Jack Antonoff, along with long-rumored collaborator Lana Del Rey, on [her upcoming tenth album](https://www.vulture.com/2022/10/taylor-swift-midnights-theories-clues-tiktok.html).

Taylor Swift – Red (chorus.fm)

Craig Manning dives into the miserable, magical waters of Taylor Swift's magnum opus 'Red,' 10 years after its 2012 release.

It’s an album about the twists and turns of a love story, but it’s also about the twists and turns of life. But after the endings you get to begin again, and after the heartbreaks you get to love again, and after the pain, you just might find you’ve grown into a whole new version of yourself – one that is older and wiser and more prepared to take on the world. That story was treacherous; it was miserable and magical; it was starlight and refrigerator light; it was sad and it was beautiful and it was tragic. So perhaps it makes sense that I latched onto an album built around that Neruda line, and around that idea of how forgetting and moving on can sometimes be the work of a lifetime. Sometimes, the cards are favorable: Sugar-rush love songs like “Holy Ground,” “Everything Has Changed,” and “Starlight” swoon with the intoxicating high of a honeymoon-phase romance. My girlfriend had also graduated from college and was off making a go of things as a grown-up, and when I’d visit her, it felt a little bit like we were starting our life together, in a way it never had when we were visiting each other’s dorm rooms or college apartments. But, as Taylor sings two songs later, the risk is part of the reward, and vice versa: “This slope is treacherous/This path is reckless/This slope is treacherous/And I like it.” I remember so many Friday afternoons and Sunday evenings in my car, driving back and forth between my college town and Chicago, where my girlfriend was living at the time, playing this album on repeat. “I never saw you coming/And I’ll never be the same” is the chorus refrain of “State of Grace,” and for good reason: Once you really, truly fall in love for the first time, the chips are down, and there’s no way to take them back. Even good albums about love often cover only a fraction of what it’s like to go from strangers to friends to how-can-I-ever-live-without-yous and then back to strangers again. They feel adult in a way the songs on Fearless and Speak Now rarely did. Your first kiss; the first time you drive a car without anyone in the passenger’s seat; the first time you feel the buzz of alcohol; the first night in your college dorm room, knowing you’re in uncharted territory.

Taylor Swift Says Ina Garten 'Changed My Perspective on Cooking ... (PEOPLE.com)

Taylor Swift, Jennifer Garner and more stars shared their favorite Ina Garten memories to celebrate 20 years of Barefoot Contessa.

"Another time, I was in Paris with my daughter and I texted Ina to tell her we were close to her apartment," Garner shared. "I asked if Ina and her producers wanted to come and they did, and my friends were just mind-blown. "The first time I met her, she had asked me to be in one of her specials, and we shot it on my birthday," Garner said. "There's not a day that I spend in the kitchen that does not involve Ina recipes," the actress said. Flay also shared that "being invited to Ina's house for lunch is one of my favorite memories."
