There is an unlikely art house inspiration behind the collaboration between Taylor Swift and Jack Antonoff on her acclaimed new album, "Midnights": French filmmaker Claire Denis' "Stars at Noon."
In one of her multiple Instagram posts around the album's release, Swift noted that while she and producer-musician Antonoff have worked together for nearly a decade, "Midnights" is the first to feature the two of them as "main collaborators."
"Midnights actually really coalesced and flowed out of us when our partners (both actors) did a film together in Panama," she wrote on Instagram on Thursday. "Jack and I found ourselves back in New York, alone, recording every night, staying up late and exploring old memories and midnights past."
