The iconic singer took to Twitter to celebrate the news and wrote: "10 out of 10 of the Hot 100??? On my 10th album??? I AM IN SHAMBLES."

Midnights is a concept album about nocturnal contemplation and it was inspired by "13 sleepless nights" of her life. Swift has drawn inspiration from the glamarous visual aesthetic of the 1970s for the album. Its cryptic lyrics discuss self-criticism, self-assurance, insecurity, anxiety, and insomnia.
