Some are also theorizing about collaborators on the upcoming album. The user, @idontlikejohnmayer1331, wrote: "thinking about how swifties totally forgot about that random theory that Lover had a Side B which was going to be 'blue,' and how Taylor said she plans things three years in advance sometimes, and how she ends daylight with '...the things that haunt me in the middle of the night...', and now we get Midnights .. which is literally an album about things that haunt her in the middle of the night 3 years after Lover (which was originally going to be named Daylight) came out." Twitter user @eliseryann wrote: "My own PERSONAL theory is that we are getting a lead single... Meet me at midnight."
