How many references to Taylor Swift’s ‘Midnights’ album can you spot in this newscast?

Taylor Swift’s “Midnights” album is no match for Philadelphia broadcaster Sheila Watko, who proved once again she can pack a report full of song references.

Similarly to what she has done with previous album releases, the NBC10 reporter used her on-air traffic report to make clever nods to “Midnights.”

“Right now there’s no ‘Snow on the Beach,’ also no traffic on the Garden State Parkway. So that’s the good news,” Watko said as she began her report. “Unfortunately, I do also have to bring you the bad news, that’s kind of ‘The Great War’ of working in the traffic center — I’m the traffic ‘Anti-Hero.’”

If you’re keeping track, that’s already three references to song titles from Swift’s newest album. While “Midnights” has 13 songs, the “Midnights (3 am Edition)“ has 20, and Watko was ready for the challenge to include all of them in her report.

“This is not a ‘Glitch,’ Lucy,” Matko later said, referring to her coworker Lucy Bustamante. “Looking great out there. ‘Sweet Nothing’ in both directions. This is our ‘Karma’ for dealing with that earlier construction on 95.”

She was even able to fit in Swift’s most explicit song title — “Vigilante S***” — though with a careful edit.

Watko crammed 19 “Midnights” songs into her two-minute report. The lone holdout was “Midnight Rain,” but weather reporter Marvin Gómez referenced the song in her toss to Watko.

She also gave a nod to “Hits Different,” the extra song on the Lavender Edition of “Midnights” sold exclusively at Target.

A video Watko later shared on Twitter lists each song reference as she mentions them.

“She did it again, my biggest idol,” said one Twitter user, whose tweet posting the video has more than 66,000 likes as of Wednesday, Oct. 26.

For good measure, Watko included a song from the new album by Carly Rae Jepsen, who released “The Loneliest Time” on the same day as Swift’s release.

Watko referenced all of the songs without use of a teleprompter, Bustamante said following the segment.

Last year, Watko filled a traffic report by including song titles from Swift’s “Red (Taylor’s Version)“ album.

She has also previously packed segments with references to Beyoncé, Meat Loaf and Jason Derulo.
