Taylor Swift fans and stans, rise up! Midnights was released Oct. 21, 2022 at, well, midnight, and it’s time to celebrate by devouring Swift’s whole discography all over again. Scroll down for all the places in Cincinnati where you should listen to 13 – yes, we did that – Swift hits and deep-cuts to maximize your experience.

Swift announced Midnights‘ release date during the MTV Video Music Awards on Aug. 28 as she accepted her award for Video of the Year for All Too Well: The Short Film. During her award acceptance speech, Swift described Midnights as “the stories of 13 sleepless nights scattered throughout my life.” After the announcement, Swift also shared the album’s track titles via social media, building up anticipation in her fanbase.

By the way, Aaron Dessner of Cincinnati-bred band The National produced several songs on Midnights as well as its special-edition versions. Fellow members Bryce Dessner and Bryan Devendorf also contributed. “It’s an honor as always to be able to contribute and collaborate with Taylor, who never ceases to amaze and delight with whatever pen she’s writing with,” Aaron Dessner wrote on Facebook.

I’ve watched a lot of debates in my life. I have never witnessed a complete, utter and total dismantling like @TimRyan just did to @JDVance1. That’s my guy. 🇺🇸— Rep. Casey Weinstein (@RepWeinstein) October 11, 2022
“Red” down 50 East Before “Getaway Car,” “Red” was the unofficial driving anthem for Swift fans. The autumnal vibes of the song’s namesake album make fall the best time to listen to “Red,” and U.S. Route 50 East the best place. The drive is breezy and beautiful, with loads of fall views as the trees change colors along the Ohio River. Let someone else focus on the road while you scream-sing from the passenger seat, because no amount of time will make what the fuck boy did to you any less shitty.
“Hang On Sloopy” is a bad dumb song. https://t.co/pXQHN8yw2N— ARadSkullMug (@spitandtears) April 7, 2022
“Lover” on Moline Court in Northside “This is our place, we make the rules” is probably what the owners of the darling houses on Moline Court in Northside said to one another when deciding on paint colors. The dreamlike, candy-colored Italianate houses are perfect for a stroll on the brick road with your lover. Listen to “Lover.” Photo: Madeline Fening
“Where You Left Me” at Arnold’s Bar and Grill If the character in Swift’s “Where You Left Me” were to sit cross-legged in the dim light anywhere, it would be at Arnold’s. Walking into the historic (and haunted) joint, one can picture the girl frozen in time in the corner, dust collected on her pinned-up hair. The building even has a history of ghosts breaking glass in front of customers. Este? Is that you?
“Coney Island” at … well, Coney Island This one’s pretty obvious, but since local indie darlings The National are on this track with Tay-Tay, we can safely say “Coney Island” is as Cincinnati as it gets. Find a bench, pop a squat and get good and gloomy.
NEW: I spoke with former TPD chief @ChiefDuganRet about Tampa's worst mural, and why he says it "looks like a first grader's art project," and should be removed. https://t.co/uUBdxYWzF9— Colin Wolf (@WolfColin) April 19, 2022
“22” at Murphy’s Pub It’s the kind of bar you discover a few years into the college experience. You’re no longer using a fake, but you’re also over the crowded scene at bars on the Banks and the big parties full of freshmen.
“Cornelia Street” on Mulberry Street If Tay could live anywhere in town, it would be Mulberry Street. A tucked-away yet outstanding street full of historic colorful homes, the perfect spot to live out your romantic youthful years. Listen to “Cornelia Street.” Photo: Madeline Fening
Forget the ‘Report a Tweet’ button, Twitter needs a ‘Report a Murder’ button.Because my feed tonight is filled with clips like this of Tim Ryan skewering JD Vance in their #OHSen debate tonight.pic.twitter.com/EbCDMFQ97O— TrumpsTaxes (@TrumpsTaxes) October 11, 2022
“Love Story Remix” at BLINK BLINK takes old familiar buildings and murals and lights them up in an exciting new way, just like Elvira’s remix of “Love Story.”
“We are Never Ever Getting Back Together” at Spruce Really any nail shop will do, but there’s something about Spruce that makes you want to open up and tell your nail tech exactly WHY the guy you keep chronically dating is REALLY in the past now. You’re never ever getting back together … like ever.
“Enchanted” at the Cincinnati Zoo while meeting Fritz There’s just something magical about that damn hippo, you know?
