PAGKATAPOS humakot ng tatlong awards sa nakaraang 2022 MTV VMAs para sa kanyang dinirek na “All Too Well”, inanunsyo ni Taylor Swift na lalabas na ang kanyang bagong album sa October 21.
May title itong ‘Midnights’ at laman nito ay 13 new tracks. Ayon kay Taylor, ang kanyang new album ay may mga songs “that tell stories of 13 sleepless nights scattered throughout my life.”
Sa kanyang post sa IG: “We lie awake in love and in fear, in turmoil and in tears. We stare at walls and drink until they speak back. We twist in our self-made cages and pray that we aren’t — right this minute — about to make some fateful life-altering mistake.
“This is a collection of music written in the middle of the night, a journey through terrors and sweet dreams. The floors we pace and the demons we face. For all of us who have tossed and turned and decided to keep the lanterns lit and go searching — hoping that just maybe, when the clock strikes twelve …. we’ll meet ourselves.”
Huling na-release na album ni Taylor ay ang ‘Evermore’ noong December 11, 2020 pa.
Sa muling pag-attend niya ng VMAs after three years, nasagot na ang matagal nang tanong ng marami kung engaged na ba ito sa kanyang longtime boyfriend na si Joe Alwyn? Walang suot na engagement ring ang singer at solo lang siyang naglakad sa red carpet ng VMAs.

Upon his return to Congress in 2013, Win set out to nationalize some of Valenzuela City’s most effective education reforms. In 2015, he filed the original version of the bill that would radically expand access to college education for millions of Filipinos—the House Bill No. 5905, more commonly known as the Free Higher Education Act. He also authored other notable and relevant bills including the measure on increasing salaries for teachers and non-teaching personnel, the nationwide school-based feeding program for kinder and elementary public school students, the Nanay-Teacher parenting program, and the Anti-Hazing Act, among others.
Working at a considerable pace over the past four years, he has successfully steered the passage of pro-consumer legislations that have been signed into law by President Rodrigo Duterte. Among the laws he has authored are the Murang Kuryente Act, Electric Cooperatives Emergency and Resiliency Fund Act, the Energy Virtual One Stop Shop Act, the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act, the Philippine Innovation Act, and the Mobile Number Portability Act.
