Visualizing the lyrics of Taylor Swift's 'Midnights.' by USA Today
Taylor Swift, a mastermind of musical narratives, has spun together yet another new labyrinth of stories to explore in her new album "Midnights." Have a question about what those lyrics might look like if they were visualized? You're no longer on your own, kid. Here's a visual exploration of repetition within all of Swift's newly released songs, from "Lavender Haze" to "Anti-Hero" to "Karma." Each square along the bottom of the chart represents a line from a song — and arches connect the lines wherever they're repeated. Tap or hover over the arches to see more.
