"All of me changed like midnight,” Taylor Swift confesses halfway through her latest album, the aptly named and moody Midnights. It’s a moment on the electric Midnight Rain that finds lyricist Swift at her best, reminding you of her unparalleled ability to make any emotion feel universal.

The song’s chorus begins: "He was sunshine, I was midnight rain.” And continues: "He wanted it comfortable, I wanted that pain. He wanted a bride, I was making my own name. Chasing that fame. He stayed the same.” Then, that lyric: "All of me changed like midnight.”
