She already announced track 13’s title with a ‘70s-style bingo drawing.

Taylor Swift is preparing to release her tenth studio album, Midnights, and prefacing its arrival with a series of clues. In years past the 32-year-old singer has teased her albums, by dropping Easter eggs with hidden messages prior to their release, and this time is no different.

After announcing the album at the 2022 VMAs, Swift said that the project would drop at midnight on October 21. Until then, she’s building anticipation by slowly unveiling the names of each track on TikTok during a new segment called ‘Midnight Mayhem With Me.’

With just a month until the big reveal, we’ve compiled everything we know about Midnights so far — from its wistful reference to time and mysterious collaborations to its guest writers, and tracklist.

On Tuesday, Swift announced a new video series called Midnight Mayhem With Me on TikTok. Over the next month, the singer will randomly reveal a song title from the upcoming album, with the help of a ‘70s-style Bingo wheel.

“It’s me, hi,” said Swift in the surprise video. “I know that I have a habit of dropping cryptic clues and Easter eggs when giving you information about new music, and I am not here to deny that, but I am here to defy that. Welcome to a new series I’m calling Midnights Mayhem With Me.”

“I’m going to be using this technologically advanced device to help me allow fate to decide exactly what track titles I’m going to be announcing and in what order,” she continued. “In this cage are 13 ping pong balls labeled one through 13, each representing a track on the Midnights album. So let's leave it up to fate.”

After spinning the wheel she drew the ball 13 and revealed the final track on the album is called “Mastermind.”

On Sept. 22, Swift revealed track number eight from the album, titled “Vigilante Shit.”

Swift posted the first sneak peek of album art on Instagram along with a message of the record. The photo shows a closeup of Swift donning sparkly blue eyeshadow while looking down at a lit lighter. The caption reads, “Midnights, the stories of 13 sleepless nights scattered throughout my life, will be out October 21. Meet me at midnight.”

Though Swift has not revealed what kept her awake on those nights, fans of the singer didn’t hesitate to share their theories. Some are hopeful that Swift will reveal that she is queer, a long-held fan theory that dates back to her friendship with Karlie Kloss. Swift has never addressed the rumors or spoken publicly about her sexuality, but many fans presume she’d dated the model and Dianna Agron.

Despite the probing, Swift has kept quiet about the direct inspiration for Midnight. However, in her album announcement, she did hint at reckoning of some kind. “We like awake in love and in fear, in turmoil and in tears,” she wrote. “We stare at walls and drink until they speak back. We twist in our self-made cages and pray that we aren’t — right in this minute — about to make some fate altering mistake.”

A fan may have revealed that Swift and Lana Del Rey will have a song together on Midnights. Per a now viral TikTok video, the fan made the discovery while scrolling through the lyrics website Genius, and noticed Del Rey’s name was attached to an unreleased and unconfirmed song from Taylor Swift and Jack Antonoff titled “Tossing Turning Ticking.” Commenters have since pointed out that the Genius page has been removed, but if the intel is true, it would mark the first-ever collaboration between the two pop icons.

On Sept. 16, Swift posted a TikTok with behind-the-scenes footage that she called “the making of Midnights.” In one of the clips, Swift’s frequent writing partner and friend, Jack Antonoff, is seen bouncing around to a song and playing the piano, confirming his involvement on the record. Midnights will mark the sixth record the two have worked together on.

Unrelated to Antonoff, the video is also set to an unreleased song called “life you lead” by someone named NiceboyEd, as Stereogum also noted. Swift has not confirmed if she’s just a fan of the new artist, or if they are included on the album, too — or, more likely, if the snippet could actually be a teaser of Swift’s new music under a pseudonym — but the song’s wistful energy seems to perfectly capture the essence of Midnights.

When she announced the album, Swift revealed there were 13 tracks. Aside from the accidental leak of the possible track, “Tossing Turning Ticking,” and her recent reveal of “Mastermind,” the remaining 11 songs are still under wraps.

Ever the businesswoman, Swift has prepared four different versions of the Midnights record available for pre-order, with each one featuring a different design on both the front and back cover. It turns out there might’ve been some wider intention behind the creative decision.

On Sept. 16, Swift posted a TikTok explaining that the different designs actually connect when you put the vinyl sleeves together in a specific pattern, cleverly forming a clock. “So we have four different covers for the Midnights album,” she says. “If you turn them over there is obviously a back cover to each one of them. They’re each different. But what I wanted to show you is that if you put all the back covers together, she’s a clock.”
