Taylor Swift drops "3am edition" of "Midnights" 3 hours after album's 12 a.m. release

Taylor Swift has said "Midnights" was inspired by certain key sleepless nights — something many of her fans undoubtedly experienced as the singer-songwriter dropped seven bonus tracks and a music video just hours after the album's release Friday.

"Midnights" was released at, well, midnight Eastern time. With a runtime of around 44 minutes, listeners would have had the opportunity to play the album four times before Swift unleashed "Midnights (3am Edition)."

"Surprise! I think of Midnights as a complete concept album, with those 13 songs forming a full picture of the intensities of that mystifying, mad hour," she wrote on Instagram. "However! There were other songs we wrote on our journey to find that magic 13."
