{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Taylor Swift’s newest album "Midnights" has already broken records since its release last Friday, and now the singer-songwriter is opening up about why she likes to write about "shame" and "self-loathing."
During an appearance on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" the "Lavender Haze" singer shared her writing process, and revealed how she successfully turns her pain into popular hit songs.
"I don't think that art and suffering have to be holding hands. I think you can write songs about pain or grief … suffering … loss … hard things that you go through in life. Shame, you know, love to write about that one,' Swift said.

As fans can hear on the 32-year-old singer's highly anticipated 10th studio album, Swift unraveled her life journey and experiences into catchy tracks.

"I love to make things with my friends. I love to work with my friends I think that the experience of making something is just as important as how proud you are of it in the end, and I think it really informs how proud I am of something," Swift told Fallon.
Meanwhile, Swift took fans on a magical journey through her latest music video "Bejeweled."
During her interview, she pointed out how this single was dedicated to the fans and that there are several "Easter eggs and lots of little cameos."
