In the latest episode of her TikTok series Midnights Mayhem, Taylor Swift revealed Lavender Haze as track 1 on her upcoming album, and it has a beautiful meaning.
She took to Instagram to talk about the inspiration behind the 1st track of her album while explaining its connection to her personal life.
Midnights is scheduled to drop on October 21 and the singer has already shared the majority of the tracklist.
For those of you who are curious to know the meaning of Taylor’s new track Lavender Haze, here are all the details.
Lavender Haze is a slang coined in the 50s and it refers to “being in love”.
While giving the background on the title of the song, Taylor explains in her Instagram video that she first learned about the phrase while watching the television series Mad Men.
“I looked it up because I thought it sounded cool. It turns out it’s a common phrase used in the ’50s where they would describe being in love,” she says.
She further added that she thought it was “really beautiful”.
Taylor has also released Lavender Edition vinyl which contains lavender marble color discs that come with three bonus tracks. These are available on Target.
Taylor’s personal life has always been a topic of interest among her fans for years. However, like all celebrities, she has had her own struggles keeping it under wraps.
Reflecting on the same and while explaining how the phrase Lavender Haze applies to her own love life, the singer said: “I guess, theoretically, when you’re in the ‘lavender haze,’ you’ll do anything to stay there. And not let people bring you down off of that cloud. I think that a lot of people have to deal with this now, just just like ‘public figures,’ because we live in the era of social media, and if the world finds out if you’re in love with somebody they’re going to weigh in on it”
“Like my relationship for six years we’ve had to dodge weird rumors, tabloid stuff, and we just ignore it. So this is about the act of ignoring that stuff to protect the real stuff,” she adds further.
Taylor has been in a relationship with actor Joe Alwyn since 2016.
Using the bingo balls on her Mighnights Mayhem series, Taylor has revealed all the tracks from her upcoming album except one. These include:
