Welcome to the Lavender Labyrinth: Taylor Swift's 'Midnights' Is the Mastermind's Ultimate Power Move

on board. “Bigger Than the Whole Sky” is a twangy lament that feels like a 10-years-gone sequel to “Sad Beautiful Tragic,” one of the most underrated gems on; on “High Infidelity,” she sings, “There’s many different ways to kill the one you love/The slowest way is never loving them enough.” But the hardest-hitting song on either half ofis “Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve.

“Anti-Hero,” the first single, comes on like Season Two of “The Man,” full of killer lines. She’s already planning drama with her daughter-in-law? That’s on the same level as “Long Live,” where she tells her teen lover that if they ever break up, he needs to tell his future kids all about her. ExcellentI was honestly dreading “Karma,” which sounds like the title of a guaranteed dud, yet that chorus is too infectious to resist.

“Mastermind” caps the album with a song about how she willed her boyfriend into falling in love with her, plotting each chess move in advance. She confesses, “I’m only cryptic and Machiavellian because I care.” That’s her in a nutshell: a compulsive overfeeler who works hard to make it all seem effortless. But she’s never been a natural — all she does is try, try, try. If we’ve learned anything from 16 years of Swiftology, it’s that she plans absolutely everything.

Taylor was already in the realm of the all-time great pop auteurs before she turned 25, but she never rests on her laurels — she barrels forward like she doesn’t notice the laurels are even there. Seven Number One albums in five years is a historic feat, to say the least. But she’s more excited about right now, which is why she couldn’t wait to rush out a sequel to this album when it was all of three hours old.
