Her most recent album, \u201cMidnights,\u201d boasts tracks with names like \u201cLavender Haze,\u201d \u201cVigilante Sh-t\u201d and \u201cMidnight Rain.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reading such titles makes it hard not to liken the naming pattern to the U.S. military\u2019s own operation naming conventions, which are typically indistinct adjective-noun combinations that evoke anything from absurd patriotism to complete confusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As such, we\u2019ve compiled a list of our favorite U.S. military operation monikers that could easily pass as Taylor Swift song titles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Red Dawn<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Operation Red Dawn was the mission that led to the capture of Iraq\u2019s ousted leader, Saddam Hussein, it carries a rather lyrical ring to it and evokes a poetic morning of sorts. Plus, it\u2019s derived from the 1984 film of the same name, starring impossibly tight jean-wearer Patrick Swayze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Acoustic Kitty<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CIA in the Cold War attempted (and failed) to turn cats into the ultimate spies by implanting listening devices into their ears. Swift, meanwhile, is a known cat mother of three named Meredith Grey, Olivia Benson and Benjamin Button. The idea that she might sing about them isn\u2019t terribly far afield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Casanova<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2013, 12 men were arrested in Texas <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ice.gov\/news\/releases\/12-arrested-south-texas-alleged-marijuana-trafficking-conspiracy\" target=\"_blank\">in connection<\/a> \u201cwith a conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute marijuana.\u201d However, given Swift\u2019s history of writing about men in comically stereotypical roles and gender norms, it wouldn\u2019t be surprising to see a Swiftian song about a seductive lead with many lovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Morning Light<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Operation Morning Light involved a 1978 search for a Soviet nuclear-powered spy satellite \u2014 Cosmos 954 \u2014 that accidentally entered northern Canadian airspace before crashing. The American and Canadian militaries worked together to collect its debris. For Swift, it would perhaps be a song about the refreshing experience of waking up to a new day after a heartbreaking evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Evening Light<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another \u201cLight\u201d mission, this 1980 iteration was an epic failure of the American military to end the Iran hostage crisis and rescue the 52 Americans trapped at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran. For Swift, it\u2019s aligned with Morning Light, and everyone knows how much she loves a theme \u2014 hello, \u201cMidnights.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. All-American Tiger<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2003, troops in Iraq were sent to patrol around the Euphrates River near Al-Qaim, where they<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wearethemighty.com\/mighty-trending\/strangest-mission-names-iraq-war\/\" target=\"_blank\"> found 12 people of interest<\/a>. This, however, also sounds like the name of a Swiftian anthem \u2014 her answer to Katy Perry\u2019s \u201cRoar,\u201d in which she sings, \u201cI\u2019ve got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire, \u2019cause I am a champion, and you\u2019re gonna hear me roar.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Gothic Serpent<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately, this was the 1993 mission that led to the Battle of Mogadishu in Somalia, the subject of the film \u201cBlack Hawk Down.\u201d Alas, it could also lend its name to a particularly angsty song about the vipers in the press that so often spew venom about Swift\u2019s personal life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Steel Curtain<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This 2005 mission meant to create a blockade to tamp down on the flood of insurgents into Iraq from Syria. However, it\u2019s also a great name for the walls a celebrity like Swift might put up to keep the conspiracy theory-hunting fans and ravenous tabloids from invading her privacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Just Cause<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the name given to the 1989 U.S. mission to invade Panama and remove military dictator Gen. Manuel Noriega from power. For Swift, it could be about the deliverance of justice, or, with the addition of an apostrophe, a song about things she does \u201cjust \u2018cause.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If Taylor Swift\u2019s got a blank space, baby, maybe she\u2019ll write down some of these titles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Perhaps Taylor
