Taylor Swift's 'Anti-Hero:' Song Labelling Singer a 'Monster' Close To Achieving THIS Milestone

As Taylor Swift and Arctic Monkeys compete for the top album spot this week, three songs from her "Midnights" album dominate UK's Official Chart First Look.

Moreover, "Anti-Hero," one of the crowd-favorite songs from "Midnights," is in the lead to become Taylor Swft's second UK number one hit.

It would be her first number one in half a decade, following 2017's explosive "Look What You Made Me Do."

T

"Lavender Haze" and "Snow On The Beach," which include Lana Del Rey, round out the top three.

"I Ain't Quite Where I Think I Am" and "Sculptures of Anything Goes" could both debut within the Top 20 this week for Arctic Monkeys, from their new album "The Car."

While Taylor's new singles are a force to be reckoned with on streaming platforms, it remains to be seen if the artist's physical releases will affect the Official Albums Chart.

Soon, the midweek Official Albums Chart Update will be published on officialcharts.com, delivering the first look at the quarter's most heated chart battle to yet.

In "Anti-Hero," Swift essentially called herself the "problem" and that everybody agrees.

Part of the fun in most Swift's songs so far is determining who or what she is singing about but in her new track "Anti-Hero," however, there is no room for doubt.

Swift posted a video to her verified Instagram account in which she describes the tune as one of her favorite songs she ever composed. "I really don't think I've delved this far into my insecurities in this detail before," she says. "You know I struggle a lot with the idea that my life has become unmanageably sized, and not to sound too dark, I just struggle with the idea of not feeling like a person."

The celebrity singer and songwriter says she doesn't want listeners to feel sorry for her, adding that the song is a "guided tour" of all the aspects of herself she dislikes.

"We all hate things about ourselves and it's all of those aspects of the things we dislike and like about ourselves that we have to come to terms with if we're going to be this person," she says in the clip. "Yeah, I like 'Anti-Hero' a lot because I think it's really honest."
