A vault track from Midnights is being released exclusively on physical editions of the album being made available beginning Friday at 12:30 PM Eastern ahead of that evening's The Eras Tour show in East Rutherford, NJ. Surely it'll be ripped online by about 12:34.

It's baffling that she's making this a show-exclusive CD track (which, like Kurt said, will absolutely be online shortly after it goes on sale, netting her zero profits from each illegal listen). At least "Hits Different" was available as a Target exclusive and could be ordered online.

I'm fairly certain the exclusive CD will be made available for purchase later. She loves to say "time limited, exclusive" and then release it broadly/permanently like three days later.

Yeah, let her scream exclusive this week as she tries to command the Hot 100 and the BB200. As early as next week though... Different story.

There’s no way this was written during the original Midnights sessions lol this is RECENT. The bridge is great and the lyrics cut quite deep.
The chorus is weak tho.

The chorus is weak as fuck.
Kinda weird that she's hiding her most recent breakup song on a limited CD. Swifties would stream this into top 20 on the Hot 100 easily.

You might just have dealt the final blow...Yes. STAN! I always thought Maroon was about Jake. I mean...she named the song MAROON. The lyrics also hearken back to All Too Well in its specificity and how it really paints a picture. |

Maroon is about leaving Joe.
That’s what the word Maroon means. To leave.
You look up at the sky. And it said - to leave.

This was really good! I would say, on first listen, I don't like it quite as much as most of the Midnights tracks, but it's still a solid song.

Hope she tacks it onto the album eventually. Or will this count towards Midnights since it's on one physical version? idk lol

This was my first time hearing this and idk if it’s just my mood but this might be the best song from the Midnights era! It’s like a blend of everything from Lover onward. I’m hearing folkmore in there, the catchiness of Lover and the moodiness of Midnights. Living!

She is like the most prolific song writer, and is able to just keep dropping songs. Amazing run that never ends.
