Yes, Taylor Swift is once again meeting fans at midnight and with good reason: The singer just dropped her music video for “Lavender Haze” and we're enchanted. See the stunning visual.
是的，泰勒斯威夫特再次在午夜与歌迷见面，这是有充分理由的：这位歌手刚刚发布了她的“Lavender Haze”音乐录影带，我们被迷住了。看到惊人的视觉效果。
 
No, we can't calm down—even in the midst of a lavender haze.
 不，我们无法平静下来——即使是在淡紫色的雾霾中。
 
Taylor Swift just dropped the highly-anticipated music video for the second single from her album, Midnights—and as expected, it already has fans on cloud nine.
泰勒·斯威夫特 (Taylor Swift)刚刚发布了她专辑《午夜》( Midnights ) 中第二首单曲的备受期待的音乐视频——正如预期的那样，它已经在云九号上拥有了粉丝。
 
The surrealist video stars Taylor and her lover (played by Laith Ashley) in what she calls a "sultry sleepless 70's fever dream" complete with purple smoke, flowers growing from the carpet and her television opening into a galaxy. It naturally ends with her falling asleep on a cloud in a starry sea of swimming koi fish.
这部超现实主义影片由泰勒和她的情人（由 莱思阿什利饰演）主演 ，她称之为“闷热不眠的 70 年代发烧梦”，紫色的烟雾、从地毯上长出的花朵和她的电视开向银河系。它自然而然地以她在满天星斗的锦鲤鱼海中的云上睡着而告终。
 
On Instagram, Taylor shouted out her "incredible costar" Laith, a transgender model and actor, "who I absolutely adored working with."
在Instagram 上，泰勒称赞她是“令人难以置信的搭档”莱思，她是一位变性模特兼演员，“我非常喜欢与之共事。”
 
"This was the first video I wrote out of the 3 that have been released," she said, "and this one really helped me conceptualize the world and mood of Midnights."
“这是我在已发布的 3 个视频中编写的第一个视频，”她说，“这个视频确实帮助我概念化了午夜的世界和情绪。”
 
Ahead of the release of her 10th studio album in October, Taylor shared the inspiration behind some of the songs, including "Lavender Haze," the first track on the record. Co-written by friend Zoë Kravitz, the singer revealed she was intrigued by the phrase after hearing it while watching Mad Men.
在 10 月发行她的第 10 张录音室专辑之前，泰勒分享了一些歌曲背后的灵感，包括唱片中的第一首曲目“薰衣草薄雾”。由朋友佐伊·克拉维茨 ( Zoë Kravitz ) 合着，这位歌手透露，她在看《广告狂人》( Mad Men )时听到这句话后，对这句话很感兴趣。
 
"It turns out that it's a common phrase used in the '50s where they would just describe being in love, like, you were in the lavender haze," she said in an Oct. 7 Instagram video. "And that meant that you were in that all-encompassing love glow, and I thought that was really beautiful."  
Taylor, who's been dating Joe Alwyn since 2016, also referenced her private romance and the attention that surrounds them.
自 2016 年以来一直与Joe Alwyn约会的泰勒还提到了她的私人恋情以及他们周围的关注。
 
"My relationship—for six years, we've had to dodge weird rumors, tabloid stuff, and we just ignore it," she continued. "This song is sort of about the act of ignoring that stuff to protect the real stuff."  
But her new single from Midnights isn't the only track from the album to delve into her inner thoughts. As the Grammy winner previously explained, her entire album is comprised of stories from restless nights in her life.
但她来自Midnights的新单曲并不是专辑中唯一一首深入探讨她内心想法的曲目。正如这位格莱美奖得主先前解释的那样，她的整张专辑都是由她生命中那些不安的夜晚的故事组成的。
 
"This is a collection of music written in the middle of the night, a journey through terrors and sweet dreams," she wrote in an Oct. 21 Instagram post celebrating the album's debut. "The floors we pace and the demons we face. For all of us who have tossed and turned and decided to keep the lanterns lit and go searching-hoping that just maybe, when the clock strikes twelve…we'll meet ourselves."
她在 10 月 21 日的 Instagram 帖子中写道：“这是在午夜创作的音乐集，是一段穿越恐怖和美梦的旅程。 ” “我们走过的地板和我们面对的恶魔。对于我们所有辗转反侧并决定点亮灯笼并继续寻找的人——希望也许，当时钟敲响十二点时……我们会遇见自己。”

乔·阿尔温
Her boyfriend of six years, Joe Alwyn contributed to the album under his pen name William Bowery, credited as a songwriter on "Sweet Nothing." The track is about finding solace in his love, as she sings, "I found myself a-running home to your sweet nothings / Outside they're push and shoving / You're in the kitchen hummin' / All that you ever wanted from me was sweet nothing." Jack Antonoff
Swift's collaborator for more than a decade, Antonoff was her right hand on Midnights, producing and co-writing most of the songs.
杰克·安东诺夫
作为斯威夫特十多年的合作者，安东诺夫是她在《午夜》中的得力助手，制作并共同创作了大部分歌曲。
 
"I couldn't be happier that my co pilot on this adventure was @jackantonoff. He's my friend for life (presumptuous I know but I stand by it)," Swift wrote on Instagram, before noting what makes this record special to them: "this is our first album we've done with just the two of us as main collaborators." Aaron Dessner
"Always have to remember things aren't necessarily how they seem," Aaron Dessner cryptically tweeted on Oct. 18 after fans noticed the Folklore and Evermore collaborator didn't have a writing credit on any of the original Midnights tracks. However, Swift later revealed he worked on several of the 3 a.m. bonus songs, including "The Great War," "High Infidelity" and "Would've, Could've, Should've."
亚伦德斯纳 Zoe Kravitz
The High Fidelity actress—who was in the same quarantine bubble as Swift back in 2020—has songwriting credits on the opener "Lavender Haze," along with Swift, Antonoff, Mark Anthony Spears, Jahaan Akil Sweet and Sam Dew.

As Swift put it in one clip, "The fact that I get to exist at the same time as her is an honor and a privilege and the fact that she would be so generous as to collaborate with us on this song is something I'm gonna be grateful for for life." Austin Swift
The real question here is how exactly did Swift's brother Austin Swift contribute to her track "Question... ?" The song credits list him as a contributor for "Unknown, Other" on the song, which, according to Rolling Stone, sampled her own 1989 song "Out of the Woods."
奥斯汀·斯威夫特
这里真正的问题是斯威夫特的兄弟奥斯汀斯威​​夫特究竟是如何为她的曲目“问题......”做出贡献的？歌曲的致谢名单将他列为歌曲中“Unknown, Other”的贡献者，据滚石杂志报道，这首歌采样了她自己1989 年的歌曲“Out of the Woods”。

The Teen Wolf actor also mysteriously received an "Unknown, Other" credit on "Question... ?" which the physical copy reveals as "crowd applause." Meanwhile, his involvement in "Snow on the Beach" is more instrumental: He's listed as a drummer on the Lana Del Rey track.

Mary Elizabeth Ellis plays Swift's murderous daughter-in-law in the "Anti-Hero" music video, wearing one of the artist's Fearless dresses to her funeral. It brings her lyrics to life: "I have this dream my daughter-in-law kills me for the money / She thinks I left them in the will / The family gathers 'round and reads it / And then someone screams out / 'She's laughing up at us from hell!'"
玛丽·伊丽莎白·埃利斯在“Anti-Hero”音乐录影带中饰演斯威夫特凶残的儿媳，她身穿艺术家的一件 Fearless礼服出席她的葬礼。这让她的歌词栩栩如生：“我做了一个梦，我的儿媳妇为了钱杀了我/她认为我把他们留在了遗嘱中/家人聚在一起读了它/然后有人尖叫着/‘她是从地狱嘲笑我们！”
