Midnights is the tenth studio album by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, released on October 21, 2022, via Republic Records. Announced at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards, Midnights marked Swift's first new body of work since her 2020 indie folk albums, Folklore and Evermore. It is a moody concept album about nocturnal ruminations, written and produced by Swift with longtime collaborator Jack Antonoff.
The album was a commercial success across all formats of music consumption, breaking a string of records globally. It achieved the Spotify feat for the most single-day streams of an album and topped the charts in 28 territories. In the United States, it opened with over 1.57 million units, logged Swift's 11th number-one on the Billboard 200, the largest vinyl sales week of the 21st century, became the best-selling album of 2022, and spawned 10 top-ten songs on the Billboard Hot 100—the most for any album—in the same week. The lead single "Anti-Hero" marked her ninth number-one on the Hot 100, while the later singles "Lavender Haze" and "Karma" peaked at number two. Tracks such as "Maroon", "Snow on the Beach" featuring Lana Del Rey, "You're on Your Own, Kid", "Midnight Rain", and "Bejeweled" charted high internationally.
