Meet her at midnight! Taylor Swift released the music video for her song “Lavender Haze” on Friday, January 27 — and it is unsurprisingly full of Easter eggs.
Swift, 33, first teased the visual for the Midnights opening track on Thursday Night Football in October 2022, along with clips for the “Anti-Hero” and “Bejeweled” music videos, both of which premiered that same month and featured hidden messages for fans to decode.
Many Swifties considered certain “Bejeweled” elements to be confirmation that Speak Now: Taylor’s Version will be the next re-recorded album the Pennsylvania native releases. For example, when Swift enters an elevator in the video, there are 13 different-colored buttons appearing to represent each of her albums in the order that they were released. The “Lover” songwriter hits the purple button for the third floor, seemingly acknowledging her third record, Speak Now.
The Midnights era isn’t the first time Swift has left trails of clues for her devoted fans. Leading up to the release of Red: Taylor’s Version in November 2021, the Grammy winner shared videos of jumbled letters via social media, giving her followers a chance to guess the titles of the album’s vault tracks.
“*Presses post* *cackles maniacally* Level: casually cruel in the name of being honest,” Swift captioned one of the clips in August 2021.
The Folklore musician’s penchant for cryptic messages goes back to her debut album when she began the tradition of hiding sentences in her album liner notes using out of place uppercase letters.
“I love to communicate through Easter eggs,” the “Blank Space” singer told Entertainment Weekly in May 2019. “I think the best messages are cryptic ones.”

Taylor Swift has hit back at a lawsuit filed by writer Teresa La Dart over similarities between a book of poetry written by the latter and a publication that accompanied the deluxe version of the former’s 2019 ‘Lover’ album. The lawsuit is, says Team Swift, “legally and factually baseless”.La Dart sued last year accusing Swift of ripping off various creative elements of her 2010 poetry book, which was also called ‘Lover’.The lawsuit claimed that the earlier ‘Lover’ poetry book and the later ‘Lover’ album book had “a substantially similar cover format”, “substantially the same introduction page formats with a similarly styled ‘Lover’ title”, “a substantially similar inner book design” and “a substantially similar colour scheme (pastel pinks and blues)”.“Stylistically”, La Dart’s lawsuit concluded, “the Swift ‘Lover’ book includes creative elements that are not typical of or present within other published books and – as compared with the La Dart work – leaves an overall impression that the Swift ‘Lover’ book is, again, substantially similar in terms of the above-noted design elements as those within the La Dart work”.That was all well and good, but are any of the creative elements shared by the two ‘Lover’ books actually protected by copyright? No, says Swift’s formal response.
