It follows her 1989 songs “Blank Space” and also “Shake It Off,” along with her Fifty Shades Darker soundtrack cooperation with Zayn, “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever.”
It was just an issue of time prior to “Anti-Hero” made it. Following its launch in October 2022, the synth-pop ode to self-loathing ended up being Swift’s longest-running No. 1 with a 8 week power atop the Billboard Hot 100. It’s her nine No. 1 tune on the graph.

“Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as altruism/ Like some kind of congressman?” sings Swift on “Anti-Hero,” which was gone along with by a self-directed music video. “I wake up screaming from dreaming/ One day I’ll watch as you’re leaving.”
“I struggle a lot with the idea that my life has become unmanageably sized,” Swift explained of the song in a clip on Instagram, published prior to Midnights went down Oct. 21, 2022. “Not to sound too dark, but I just struggle with the idea of not feeling like a person — don’t feel bad for me, you don’t need to. But this song really is a real guided tour through all the things I tend to hate about myself; we all hate things about ourselves.”
