“The tension is palpable,” the singer said while dramatically turning the wheel of the golden bingo cage, which decides what title to announce next by the numbered ping-pong balls placed inside of it.
“Track one is called ‘Lavender Haze’,” she shared. Swift then followed up with more details on the opening song by taking things over to Instagram, where she posted a reel explaining the inspiration behind Midnights‘ first track.
“I happened upon the phrase ‘Lavender Haze’ when I was watching “Mad Men”, and I looked it up because I thought it sounded cool,” she said in the video. “And it turns out that it’s a common phrase used in the ’50s, where they would just describe being in love.”
She went on to explain, “If you were in the lavender haze, then that meant that you were in that all-encompassing love glow, and I thought that was really beautiful.
“I think a lot of people have to deal with this now, not just like ‘public figures,’ because we live in the era of social media,” she said, “And if the world finds out that you’re in love with somebody, they’re gonna weigh in on it.”
