From what I’ve seen, everyone has a different favorite song on this album, and that’s how you know it’s good. There isn’t one track that we all agree is the best, and this applies to almost every album she has put out. Some of the songs have taken me a few listens, but the more I do, the more I love the whole thing. Bravo Taylor!

No offence but you guys are so funny. Midnights of course does not have the same level of songwriting prawness as folkmore cos guess why? you cant write "While I bathe in cliffside pools with my calamitous love and insurmountable grief" over a twerkable beat for a POP record. Funny thing is, if you really READ and LISTEN carefully, midnights lyrics were actually FOLKLORE coded, especially the 3 am tracks. People hear a synth and all of a sudden they forget how to read. Give it a time. Great record always takes time. You are probably one of the people who said folklore is boring the first time it dropped in 2020.

@@anisanurraudah8383 this is very true, you took the words right out of my mouth

I'm a 44 year old straight guy and the fact that she can write songs that give me a gut punch shows just how truly talented she is.

13 songs on the standard version. Weaving 13 midnights but sampling her own music in either cadence, prose, or musicality was missed by many in first pass. Lavender Haze gives us a massive hint in the first few seconds when she samples the Sax from False God. Each song woven together with her discography in this manner like an invisible string pulling us through the journey of her life. Each song contains peeks and hints as what era, or midnight, or muse she was speaking about. The level of genius has yet to be discovered.

We swifties, did it again. 😭Cause our queen Taylor deserves only the best. Let's keep streaming it. MIDNIGHTS is a real gem. Vibey, nostalgic, introspective. What an experience to hear the entire album including the 3 am edition. SHE. NEVER. DISAPPOINTS.

No matter what anyone says about Taylor's music/albums I'll always enjoy her art her storytelling. I'll always buy her music and merch💎🌌

I honestly think that this is the album that Taylor felt 100% comfortable and confident releasing. Ibalso think it’s been divisive in the song selections that people like. I have heard so many variations of people’s favorites. I also think the more listens, the more that changes. She’s a genius. I’m a Stan. But this album is a masterpiece by a Mastermind

i think tay decided to bring all her albums (from 1989 to the red re-recording) and put them together into one big masterpiece.

As many Swifties will tell you, don’t set your binge songs or skip songs in stone for a good while. Many of our skip songs end up being favorites (or at least further up the list) and many of our favorites have some hard competition after we listen to the albums 313 times.

But it also depends for me what I can connect to in my life. They're all bops. I think her albums, especially nowadays, really speak to Swifties- who know her, the history, the little nuances and bits that may not stand out to casual listeners. Past the Easter eggs, the diary entries we can decode in her words. It's amazing how much this album makes sense, especially to us. And you gotta go down the rabbit hole for the full picture 🤭

It’s my favorite album 🎉 so much emotion and imagery, sad but happy, makes me ready to live life after listening, sounds absolutely beautiful and ethereal. So raw and real. My favorite album!!! My old fav was speak now lol.

I love your work and presentation. This was my first time watching any video on your channel. Free of toxicity , unnecessary suspence .. Pure facts delivered with so much relevant emotions...

This album is an A++++++++++ Great job Taylor!!!! 😍😍😍

I agree, not her best work but some of the songs will really be great for a teenage romance movie or TV series! It’s hard because Jack Antonoff was on every song. Maybe Taylor could spread her wings a little more and dive into some different productions of music with different producers for her next album. It felt like they went with the folklore/evermore trend as they were both 100% out of this world albums but added a little bit more pop in some songs. Kinda was hoping for more upbeat pop/ reputation/red/1989 beats tho. All in all I still love it! And stayed up till 3am here in Australia to memorise the lyrics to sing to my nephew the next morning for his 1st birthday because he needs to know the legend that is Taylor Swift! ❤

Coming from a 54 year old fan from Denmark who grew up with European synth music I actually believe this is Taylors best album so far. Gone are the teenage tendencies from other albums - this is a well coordinated sound and atmosphere - perfect

I personally I love Midnight rain and how her vocals are pitched down in it, and Vigilante Shit definitely feels much more from Rep era. Bejeweled was quite good but Mastermind ✨

On first listen i thought the same thing but I am still finding new nuances days later that's why it's top notch for me!

The incredible commercial performance of Midnights already, shows that for Taylor, the traditional album rollout sells more than dropping surprise albums out of nowhere. Midnights is doing much better than surprise albums Folklore and Evermore did in their early days despite not having any obvious radio hits. Apart from being great album, a lot of Midnights' early success has to be to do with the more traditional buildup Taylor did to drum up anticipation in the weeks leading up to the albums release.

Thanks for your honest review👍❤️

I thought the same at the beginning, but once you have listened to it a few more times and took a greater look st the lyrics. I loved almost every song on it!

Absolutely LOVE this album. She described it as “13 sleepless nights throughout her life” and i totally felt that. I have to disagree with you on that block starting with midnight rain. That track might be my favorite as of now. I think it’s the most experimental with the strip down chorus and I’m here for it. I also love the vibe of vigilante and bejeweled is a total nod to her girlie girl swiftly fans. She said as much describing the video on Jimmy Fallon. It’s definitely the track that reminds me how fun it is to be a girl so I love it. also would’ve, could’ve, should’ve is the most heart breaking song I’ve heard in a long time if not ever. Like woah.

I feel like MIDNIGHTS shifted people's opinion on music. You see, her marketing techniques are what that makes Midnights an iconic release. I won't hesitate to say that Midnights is by far her best album. It's skipless..tho some songs are a bit weaker as compared to other, for example, Question...? but the whole album is a masterpiece.

I’m loving it… todays fave is you’re on you’re own kid!

I love the album with my whole heart. I do think the 3am songs do bump it over the top. They bring that folklore/evermore poetics, and I feel that this album takes influence from 1989 synth vibes, reputations strong headedness and folklore/evermore softness. The lyrics transcend me into all my feelings. I feel she went through similar experiences as I did: relational abuse, loss, shaming, anxiety, eating disorders etc. And I relate to her writing so much. The music just brings it to another level. I love it ☺️

It is just BRILLIANTLY BEAUTIFUL ....Bend and Snap !

MIDNIGHT RAIN IS GLORIOUS AND ONE OF THE BEST TRACKS!

Your thoughts echo my initial take, but the latter half REALLY grows in prominence and quality as you continue to listen. Lots of them turn out to be low-key BANGERS.

Listen to it 3-4x more times, then re-evaluate. It took Folklore a bit to grow on me too. Trust me.

Love this album 💞

On my first listen, I LOVED songs 1-5 (You're Own Your Own Kid is still my favorite), Midnight Rain was just okay, I loved Question? and Vigilante Shit, Bejeweled, Labyrinth, and Karma were okay, and then I totally vibed with the last 2 songs. Pretty much same as you it sounds like. But after a few listens, I grew to LOVE Midnight Rain and Labyrinth, and now even Bejeweled and Karma has grown on me! I am still vibing to and loving this album after about 20 listens! And the 3 am tracks are on another level entirely! Anyways, I'm a fan, I love the album, and I don't think I'll be getting tired of it anytime soon!

This album is definitely reminiscent of a lot of her past works

You’re a rare talent G, a global treasure!

I've loved all the teasers and visuals for the album so far. I knew that it was different than any other album she's done. It felt like Red but a grown version...like the same vulnerable energy and no fucks given energy.

There are only few people in the world I would Kill or die for and ❤️ Taylor Swift ❤️ is one of them.

She’s incredible

"Lavender Haze" should have been the album's leading single.

Love love love it. There have been times since it came out there have been moments I got bored with it but then as soon as I stop listening I'll get one of the songs stuck in my head and I'll have to go listen to it and then I have to listen to another song and it's just a chain reaction of Taylor Swift getting in my head lol her artistry will last forever.

this album is Phenomenal

You can't tell that this is a bad or her best because I'm literally wondering and so happy that everyone each has their own 3 favorite songs, and each tells their own character or music taste.
