After releasing her new album Midnights , Taylor Swift had an interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon . In it, the singer, born in 1989, shared how she (successfully) turned her pain into hits that thousands of people listened to.

“I think you can write songs based on pain, sadness, loss and things that you’ve been through in your life. I also like to write about shame,” Taylor Swift shared.

“I also continued to write about how disgusted I was with myself,” the singer continued, “As time went on and the number of albums I was releasing increased, I felt like writing music was like a way for me to suck the poison out of the snakebite.”

While in the first albums of her career, the Love Story singer preferred to compose alone, in Midnights, the female singer decided to collaborate with her colleagues in the music industry. Taylor also admitted that although Midnights is a “dark” album, the time creating the album was extremely fun when working with other artists.

“I love doing things with my friends. I think it’s an important experience when the project makes you proud. Ultimately, this project made me realize how proud I am,” Taylor Swift added.

At the moment, Midnights is still the most talked about and most watched album. With this positive situation, Taylor Swift’s new album can completely become the album with the “huge” revenue of 2022.
