I love that when we were making the song, we wanted the verse to sound like romance and sort of a Heroes type of soundtrack. And then we wanted the chorus to sound like a villain has just entered the room. The idea that you\u2019re flipping this narrative and you have been planning and plotting things and making them look like an accident. I think that\u2019s sort of an inside joke between me and my fans: that I tend to do that.

Midnights (2022) \u201cMastermind\u201d is the thirteenth track on Taylor\u2019s tenth studio album, Midnights (2022). It was released on October 21, 2022, through Republic Records, and closes the standard edition of the record. Written and produced by Taylor and Jack Antonoff, the song is about wanting to control the fate of a relationship. Table of Contents Background and Release On August 28, 2022, Taylor announced her tenth studio album, Midnights, set for release on October 21, 2022. One month later, she began unveiling the track-list in a randomized order through a video series on TikTok, called Midnights Mayhem With Me. It consisted of 13 episodes, with one song revealed in per episode. In the first edition on September 21, 2022, Taylor announced the title of the thirteenth track as \u201cMastermind.\u201d She said: \u00abI know that I have a habit of dropping cryptic clues and easter eggs when giving you information about my music, and I\u2019m not here to deny that. But I am here to defy that. Welcome to a new series I\u2019m calling: Midnights Mayhem With Me. I\u2019m going to allow fate decide exactly what track titles I\u2019m going to be announcing and in what order. The first track I\u2019m gonna tell you about: Track thirteen. Because of course. Track thirteen is called \u2018Mastermind.\u2019\u00bb Taylor Swift The irony that Taylor refuses to leave things up to fate in \u201cMastermind\u201d does not go unnoticed. Lyrical Theme and Production Taylor told Time in her interview for \u201cPerson of the Year\u201d in December 2023 that she wrote \u201cMastermind\u201d after watching the Paul Thomas Anderson film Phantom Thread, which\u2014spoiler\u2014culminates in the reveal of a vast, layered manipulation: \u00abRemember that last scene? I thought, wouldn\u2019t it be fun to have a lyric about being calculated? It\u2019s something that\u2019s been thrown at me like a dagger, but now I take it as a compliment.\u00bb Taylor Swift She also shared some details about the production side of the track with iHeartRadio in October 2022, saying: \u201c\u2018Mastermind\u2019 is a song that I put last on the album because I\u2019m really proud of it. I love that when we were making the song, we wanted the verse to sound like romance and sort of a Heroes type of soundtrack. And then we wanted the chorus to sound like a villain has just entered the room. The idea that you\u2019re flipping this narrative and you have been planning and plotting things and making them look like an accident. I think that\u2019s sort of an inside joke between me and my fans: that I tend to do that. And so, this song is the romantic version of that.\u201d One can\u2019t blame Taylor for being a better selective autobiographer than everyone else in the digital age as we curate our lives for our own audiences of any size\u2014cutting away from the raw fabric of our lived experience to reveal the shape of the story we most want to tell, whether it\u2019s on our own feeds or the world\u2019s stage. In \u201cMastermind\u201d she admits to this herself, in a bridge so feathery one could almost miss that it marks some of the rawest, most naked songwriting of her career: \u201cNo one wanted to play with me as a little kid\/So I\u2019ve been scheming like a criminal ever since\/To make them love me and make it seem effortless\/This is the first time I\u2019ve felt the need to confess\/And I swear I\u2019m only cryptic and Machiavellian because I care.\u201d Live Performances \u201cMastermind\u201d is part of the regular set list of Taylor\u2019s sixth headlining concert tour, \u201cThe Eras Tour\u201d (2023-2024). Commercial Performance In the United States, songs from Midnights occupied the entire Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100; a historic feat. \u201cMastermind\u201d debuted at No. 13 on the chart. Taylor became the first artist to simultaneously occupy the Top 10 spots of the Hot 100; the female artist with the most Top 10 songs (40); and the first act to occupy the entire Top 10 of the Hot 100, Streaming Songs, and Digital Songs charts simultaneously. Midnights also became the first album in history to contain ten Top 10 songs. Lyrics [Verse 1]Once upon a timeThe planets and the fates and all the stars alignedYou and I ended up in the same room at the same timeAnd the touch of a hand lit the fuseOf a chain reaction of countermovesTo assess the equation of youCheckmate, I couldn\u2019t lose [Chorus 1]What if I told youNone of it was accidentalAnd the first night that you saw meNothing was gonna stop meI laid the groundworkAnd then just like clockworkThe dominoes cascaded in the lineWhat if I told you I\u2019m a mastermindAnd now you\u2019re min\u0435It was all by design\u2018Cause I\u2019m a mastermind [Verse 2]You see all th\u0435 wisest women had to do it this way\u2018Cause we were born to be the pawn in every lover\u2019s gameIf you fail to plan, you plan to failStrategy sets the scene for the taleI\u2019m the wind in our free-flowing sailsAnd the liquor in our cocktails [Chorus 2]What if I told youNone of it was accidentalAnd the first night that you saw meI knew I wanted your bodyI laid the groundworkAnd then just like clockworkThe dominoes cascaded in a lineWhat if I told you I\u2019m a mastermindAnd now you\u2019re mineIt was all my design\u2018Cause I\u2019m a mastermind [Bridge]No one wanted to play with me as a little kidSo I\u2019ve been scheming like a criminal ever sinceTo make them love me and make it seem effortlessThis is the first time I\u2019ve felt the need to confessAnd I swearI\u2019m only cryptic and Machiavellian \u2019cause I care [Chorus]So I told youNone of it was accidentalAnd the first night that you saw meNothing was gonna stop meI laid the groundworkAnd then saw a wide smirkOn your face, you knew the entire timeYou knew that I\u2019m a mastermindAnd now you\u2019re mineYeah, all you did was smile\u2018Cause I\u2019m a mastermind General
