We know you’ve had Midnights on repeat since the middle of the night, so we did the work for you so you can take a nap. Check out these 85 Taylor Swift Midnights lyrics to use for haunting captions that are so relatable.

Like any other classic Swift record, Midnights invites us into the most intimate thoughts in her diary, but somehow, it sounds like we’re reading our own at the same time. The moody, boppy album is everything we love from Taylor wrapped into one perfect collection of stories; The joyous romance from Lover, serpent-tongue karmic promises from Reputation, irresistible dance beats from 1989, and the life lessons we loved in Folklore and Evermore. This fall, you may be falling in love to the tune of “Snow On The Beach (Featuring Lana Del Rey),” or you and your besties might be “dressin’ for revenge” because you’re in your “Vigilante Sh*t” eras. You may be suffering a series of sleepless nights, tossing, turning, and dancing to anthems like “Anti-Hero,” or finding your light in the middle of the night because you know that when you walk into a room, you can “still make the whole place shimmer.”

Whether she’s writing with her sacred fountain, quill, or glitter pens, Swift’s specialty is weaving poetic lyrics together. She “laid the groundwork, and then, just like clockwork,” Taylor’s throwing shade, lost in lust, and making sense of growing up, and these enchanting one-liners from the new Midnights album will keep you up at night. They’ll come in handy for captioning your dim-lit nighttime pics or all the spooky fall moments you want to post on the ‘Gram.
