Fans all over the world have made it their mission to scrutinize every nuance of Taylor Swift’s new album, “Midnights.” The Grammy-winning artist’s lyrics are packed with secret meaning, from “Question…?” to “Vigilante S—t” to “Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve,” and Swifties are determined to decipher them all.
It’s no secret that T.Swift enjoys subtly alluding to significant people in her life through her music, whether she’s allegedly casting shade at Scooter Braun and Kanye West or hinting at a prospective engagement to boyfriend Joe Alwyn. The identity of the person Swift is singing about on the album’s sixth track, “Midnight Rain,” remains unclear.
What Is The Meaning Of “Midnight Rain”?
The song “Midnight Rain,” on which she sings in a lower key and uses a pitched-down version of her own voice, is about the difficulty of giving up the security of a good relationship in order to avoid settling.
The powerful introduction establishes the mood for the rest of the song’s lyrics, which go as follows: “He wanted it comfortable, I wanted that pain / He wanted a bride, I was forging my own name / Chasing that fame, he stayed the same / All of me changed like midnight.”
Swift then sings about an ex-lover who was almost too flawless for her liking in the following verse. To the point that she decided to quit the relationship in order to concentrate more on her own professional endeavors: “I broke his heart because he was nice; he was sunshine, and I was midnight rain.”
Who Is Taylor Swift’s “Midnight Rain” About?
There are two basic hypotheses about the song’s secret significance. For starters, one could assume that the sixth track on the album is meant to pay tribute to Swift’s ex-boyfriend Tom Hiddleston, who is currently expecting a child with fiancée Zawe Ashton.
They broke up peacefully in 2016 after a brief three-month relationship. However, many fans take the song’s title, “Midnight Rain,” to be an allusion to their rapid romance.

However, some of Swift’s fans are certain the song is about her three-month fling with actor Taylor Lautner. One Twitter user claimed that the line “He was sunshine, I was midnight rain” was a reference to Taylor Lautner’s character Jacob Black from Twilight, which seems like a stretch.
However, there are many who believe this hypothesis has some credence because Swift’s career was on the rise when she and Lautner broke up in 2009.
After researching how listeners felt about “Midnight Rain,” we uncovered a third possibility. Swift’s longtime fans have suspected that her and her former best friend Karlie Kloss were secretly romantically involved for quite some time, and they now have the evidence to back up their suspicions.
Swift fans believe that the singer has made multiple allusions to the fashion model throughout her illustrious career, including in songs like “Betty” and “Getaway Car.” It seems that nothing has changed this time around.
Swift’s songs are great because they can be read in a variety of ways. The artist will never come out and declare who the songs are about, but it won’t stop the Swifties from trying to figure it out!
