The lead single of Taylor Swift’s latest album Midnights, ‘Anti-Hero’ is currently buzzing at the no.1 spot on the Billboard Hot100 while dominating all the other social media platforms such as Instagram and TikTok. The song has also generated more than 63 million views on YouTube and the count is increasing daily. However, it is not just about its ‘record-breaking’ records but the message that the songstress wanted to convey through this single. Starting from the catchphrase of “I’m the problem, it’s me” to the deep insecurities that most young people go through; the song speaks for all. All those insecurities are part of everyone’s life which makes this song a common thread to connect with everyone.
In a recent post on Instagram, Taylor Swift said about ‘Anti-Love’, “one of my favorite songs I’ve ever written,”. She further suggested that the song “is a guided tour throughout all the things I tend to hate about myself.” Written by co-producer Jack Antonoff and the singer herself, the track starts with “I have this thing where I get older but just never wiser.” Not only the millennial, but this feeling has struck many other audiences around the world. Not only the Swifties but all kinds of music lovers seem to get hooked with the chorus “It’s me, hi/ I’m the problem it’s me”.
Expressing the dark side of self-hatred through the echoes of shame and self-loathing attributes, the song expresses the lonelier side of this generation or lifestyle where most people are lonely and judging themselves. The conflict between self-acceptance and being an impostor to self is well represented through the song as well as the well-designed music video. Dealing with a lot of other trauma and insecurities of young people, Taylor Swift has gifted another anthem for the youth to embrace themselves; their true selves.
