Taylor Swift announced her tenth original studio album, Midnights , at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards on August 28; [1] its title and cover artwork were released shortly after the same day via social media. [2] She conceived Midnights as a collection of songs about her nocturnal ruminations, detailing a wide range of emotions such as regret, lust, nostalgia, contentment, and self-loathing. The standard album was produced by Swift and Jack Antonoff, as a result of the two experimenting with music while their partners were both shooting for a film in Panama. [3]

Swift announced the album's track listing via a thirteen-episode video series called Midnights Mayhem with Me on the platform TikTok, where each video contained the title of one track at a time. [4] The title of "Bejeweled" was revealed in the episode posted on October 5, 2022. [5] Republic Records released Midnights on October 21, 2022; "Bejeweled" is track nine on the album. [6] The track was released for limited-time download via Swift's website on October 25, [7] and an instrumental version followed two days later. [8] Swift included "Bejeweled" in the set list of the Eras Tour (2023–2024). [9]

On the Billboard Global 200 chart, "Bejeweled" debuted and peaked at number eight. [10] It was one of the Midnights tracks that helped Swift become the first artist to claim nine spots in the top 10 the same week. [11] In the United States, the song debuted and peaked at number six on the Billboard Hot 100; Swift became the first artist to monopolize the entire top 10 the same week thanks to the song and other Midnights tracks. [12] [13] It spent two consecutive weeks in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100. [14] The song reached the top 10 on charts in the Philippines (4), [15] Australia (7), [16] Canada (7), [17] Singapore (8), [18] and New Zealand (9); [19] and the top 20 in Vietnam (19) [20] and South Africa (20). [21] It was certified double platinum in Australia; [22] platinum in Brazil, [23] Canada, [24] and New Zealand; [25] and gold in Mexico, [26] Poland, [27] Spain, [28] and the United Kingdom. [29]

Music and lyrics

Swift wrote and produced "Bejeweled" with Antonoff, who recorded the song with David Hart, Evan Smith, and Laura Sisk at Rough Customer Studio, Brooklyn, and Electric Lady Studios, New York. Antonoff also programmed the track and played percussion, kalimba, acoustic guitars, bass, and a variety of synthesizers including Juno 6, DX7, OB1, and Moog. Smith and Mikey Freedom Hart played additional synths and keyboards, and their performance was recorded by David Hart at Big Mercy Sound, Brooklyn. Serban Ghenea, assisted by Bryce Bordone, mixed "Bejeweled" at MixStar Studios, Virginia Beach, Virginia, and Randy Merrill mastered it at Sterling Sound, Edgewater, New Jersey. [30]

"Bejeweled" is a synth-pop, [31] [32] bubblegum pop, [33] and hyperpop song. [34] Its production consists of synth arpeggios, mostly generated with the Juno 6, [35] that make up the hooks with a sound that critics described as "glimmering", [31] "plinking", [36] and "shimmery". [35] [37] Some critics aligned the sound of "Bejeweled" with diverse sources. Rolling Stone 's Rob Sheffield said that the track has a "disco rush" [38] and is "full of late-night disco jitters". [39] According to Paste's Ellen Johnston, the synth stylings evoke electronica. [35] Annie Zaleski found the synth production to resemble 1980s new wave, [40] and Craig Jenkins of Vulture thought that the song has a maximalist quality similar to the music of Swift's 2019 album Lover. [41] There were comparisons to the music of other artists, such as LCD Soundsystem [35] and Giorgio Moroder. [37]

The lyrics are about recognizing self-worth and regaining confidence after a heartbreak. [41] [42] [43] Swift's narrator tells her lover, who takes her for granted, that she can still "make the whole world shimmer". [43] As she asserts her autonomy and power ("I'm going out tonight"; "I polish up real nice"), [38] [42] [44] she also reflects on her sadness and grief ("Sapphire tears on my face/ Sadness became my whole sky"). [38] [45] [46] Billboard 's Jason Lipshutz thought that the track showcased the complexes of Swift's personality, [47] and PopMatters 's Rick Quinn likened the theme of asserting a woman's autonomy to that of Lesley Gore's "You Don't Own Me" (1963). [44] Sheffield considered the narrative of "Bejeweled" was a continuation of Swift's "Tolerate It" (2020), showing "the wife [...] finally breaking free". [38] Swift stated the song also was a statement for her return to pop music on Midnights: that she was still "bejeweled" enough for pop after "writing folk songs and being in this metaphorical forest that [she'd] created". [31]

Critical reception

Brittany Spanos of Rolling Stone dubbed "Bejeweled" an "absolute knockout" of a song, "presenting herself as the ultimate prize". [48] Sheffield said the song is an "anxious dance-floor poseur of 'Mirrorball' grown up", featuring both Swift's confidence and vulnerability. [38] Mark Sutherland of Rolling Stone UK hailed the song as Swift's "swaggiest showstopper" since "The Man" (2020). [49] Jason Lipshutz said "Bejeweled" conveys Swift's years of experience as a songwriter. Lipshutz added that song is "a story of refusing to settle into early-thirties ennui". [36] Helen Brown of The Independent wrote, Swift "warns a guy that she has the capacity to light up rooms (and all the boys in the band) if he doesn't pay more attention". [42] Carl Wilson of Slate appreciated the song's lively synths and the lyrics about "living well". [37] Saloni Gajjar of The A.V. Club described it as an unapologetic, "feel-good melody meant to be played loudly". [33] Elise Ryan from the Associated Press was less enthusiastic and deemed "Bejeweled" a weaker track on Midnights for being "a bit too candy sweet". [50] The New York Times ' Jon Caramanica panned the lyrics as underwhelming and the production as "metallic and tense". [51]

Music video

Release and production

On October 16, 2022, Swift posted onto her social media an itinerary detailing the promotion for the album, titled Midnights Manifest. [52] It showed that in addition to the music video for the lead single "Anti-Hero", a music video for "another track" was scheduled for release on October 25. [53] One day before the release, Swift disclosed that the music video was for "Bejeweled". [54] Excerpts from the video were shown in a teaser trailer for the album's visuals during Amazon Prime Video's broadcast of Thursday Night Football on October 20. [55] Besides Swift, the cast of the "Bejeweled" music video—Antonoff, the actress Laura Dern, the female pop-rock band Haim (Este, Danielle, and Alana), the burlesque dancer Dita Von Teese, and the makeup artist Pat McGrath—also appeared in the trailer. [56] Written and directed by Swift, the music video for "Bejeweled" premiered on her Vevo channel via YouTube. [57]

Swift's team reached out to Dita Von Teese for her appearance. They talked about Von Teese's influence on performances. Joseph Cassell, a stylist of Swift, studied Von Teese's collection and subsequently made recreations of Catherine D'lish original costumes for the video. Von Teese filmed her scenes in August 2022, and the giant martini glasses used came from her personal performance collection. [58] Swift and her team collaborated with make-up artist McGrath, who also had a cameo as the Queen character, to design the looks for the video. [59]

Synopsis

Media publications pointed out many Easter eggs possibly referencing songs and memorabilia from her 2010 album, Speak Now . [60] [61] [62] Swift portrays a Cinderella-like character, named "House Wench Taylor". Taylor endures mockery from her wicked stepmother (Dern), and the evil stepsisters (Haim), one of whose vomit Taylor is forced to clean up. [61] As they leave for the ball, House Wench Taylor opens a fob watch and transforms into a cloaked figure. She sings the second verse in a golden elevator on her way to the ball on the third floor of a skyscraper. The elevator contains an Easter egg wherein the color of each elevator button represents every album Swift has released as of the music video's release, with the thirteenth and last button, which is purple, representing Speak Now . [60] [62]

Taylor then passes through an environment filled with falling gemstones before taking her cloak off, revealing a black American burlesque-inspired dance outfit. The gems fall into place on her bodysuit and boots, and a bracelet and necklace attach around her wrist and neck. Exiting the elevator on a higher floor, Taylor meets her "fairy goddess" (Von Teese), both wearing silver burlesque-style outfits. [61] After peeling off their stockings, they perform a dance number in a pair of giant martini glasses. [62]

Finally, Taylor reaches the thirteenth floor and takes the stage at the ball in a clockwork-inspired setting surrounded by showgirls, wearing a black jewelled two-piece outfit and silver heels. Her act stuns the wicked stepmother and stepsisters, and impresses "Queen Pat" (McGrath). Queen Pat forces Taylor to entertain the Prince Charming (Antonoff), but Swift turns the Prince's marriage proposal down, with a caption specifying that she ghosts him. The music video ends with the Prince shrugging off and accepting Taylor's rejection while she enjoys the view from her newly acquired castle as three dragons fly around it. The music video features orchestral versions of two Speak Now songs: "Enchanted" in the beginning and "Long Live" at the end. [60]
