How to see ‘Midnights’ teaser
Fandom can make you do wild things – like For example, sit through a three-hour sports game to see your favorite artist’s latest marketing stunt.
When Taylor Swift revealed the nine-day promotion schedule for her latest album, Midnights, the non-intersecting contingent of her fan base with the football world realized they needed to figure out how to watch a Thursday night football game. Stat.
“Teaser Trailer – Third Quarter of Thursday Night Football on Prime Video,” reads a video she posted to social media on Oct. 16 of the schedule for Thursday, Oct. 20. Of course, that’s just a few hours before her 10th studio album is due to be released (not midnight for all of us non-East Coast folks).
But no worry; You don’t have to watch the entire Arizona Cardinals vs. New Orleans Saints game. You don’t even need to know anything about how it is in Week 7 or both teams are 2-4 this season. I wouldn’t do that to you.
Here’s everything you need to know to watch the ‘Midnights’ teaser trailer – and minimal sports – during Thursday Night Football.

What channel is Thursday Night Football on?
If you live in the Phoenix or New Orleans metro areas and aren’t an Amazon Prime member, you’re in luck.
Unless you live in the home or away team market, Thursday Night Football streams exclusively on Prime Video. That means you can catch the game on Fox 10 in Phoenix.
New Orleans’ NBC affiliate station WDSU will also be broadcasting the game.
Tune in at home or at your favorite bar or restaurant.

When will the teaser trailer for “Midnights” be released?
That wasn’t a question I could ever answer on my own.
According to Arizona Republic media critic and former sports columnist Bill Goodykoontz, tuning in about an hour into the game (kick-off is at 5:15 p.m. MST and PT, 8:15 p.m. ET) would ensure you didn’t miss out on the trailer. Unless, of course, you’re going to be away from your device for an extended period of time.
So plan to tune in to the game around 6:15pm MST/PT or 9:15am ET.
The video is scheduled for release in the third quarter. NFL games typically last between three and three and a half hours.
But there’s no doubt that the teaser will make its way to social media as soon as it airs, so it should be good to update your favorite Taylor Swift fan or update your account.
