    I really love Dear Reader as a closer because after everything she’s professed to the listener, she’s reminding us to never take advice from her, and to find another “guiding light”, as a way to say “look up to someone else” because she doesn’t feel worthy of that kind of position as a role model. This album has so much self doubt really and she looks at herself in a lot of ways than she has in any other album.

      @Anthony Lloyd Escander Actually no information about when the songs were written has come out yet, except for Would've Could've Should've, which was confirmed by Aaron Dessner to have been written and produced in march of 2021, specifically when Taylor and the team were in LA for the 63rd Grammys (the ones in which folklore won for album of the year). Taylor has said all of the songs from Midnights are new, but knowing her, her definition of new just means 'made for this album', not in recent times, so the rest of the 3am tracks could be two or even three years old.

    one thing i love about Glitch and i don't see a lot of people noticing: after the bridge, before the last chorus, there's like this instrumental emptiness that breaks down the compass of the song, so, the song is build in 4 times but when she says "let's dance", the song is supposed to go back to chorus when you count to 4, but instead, the "nothingness" goes up until 5 and only then she says GLITCH, so it really sounds (or not sounds) like an interruption and a malfunction, as she sings in the beginning of the bridge, "a brief interruption, a slight malfunction"

    Bigger than the whole sky is just pure, raw sadness and such a gorgeous song. The line "Did some force take you because I didn't pray?" hits especially hard for me, just the guilt and self blaming and the desperate trying to find an explanation for what happened breaks my heart. I love this song, it's one of my favorites of the whole album, but I honestly don't listen to it very often because it's just not the kind of song I can listen to casually. I'm so glad to finally see a reactor really appreciate it!

    as a 19 year old Taylor releasing would've could've should've singing "at 19" and relating to it is..... wow its healing and wow lots of emotion, she's just amazing

    You're such a queen for giving credit to the most underrated songs on the album ❤️ Let us know if YOYOK has grown on you since your initial listen!! It's been a standout, with people sharing actual friendship bracelets on tour as a tradition :)

      Prediction: she’s not gonna like it that much and might find it boring. I love that album tho.

    She went from "i just wanna stay in that lavender haze" to "somewhere in the haze got a sense ive been betrayed"

    Thank you AJay, loved your reaction! "Bigger than the whole sky" is sad and beautiful. I really love this part of the album. And I agree when you say in your videos that sometimes a song doesn't get you at first listen, but it could be your favorite as time goes by, it happens with me a lot. Hope you listen "You're losing me" by Taylor someday.

    “it turns into something bigger, somewhere in the haze, got the send of being betrayed” made the song for me tbh

    Love your reactions, always entertaining to watch you give your takes on the songs. Whatever you do you need to get your hands on "you're loosing me" it concludes midnights and gives it a whole new perspective.

    Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve, in my opinion, is the best song she’s ever made. I love all of it though so it’s hard to pick too many favorites!

      It was so ratty of her to put that only in a singular CD version, sold in ONE venue, like.... What's up with that, blondie?

    i have always loved the lyrics "salt streams out my eyes and into my ears". I at first thought she was laying down too but now I feel like the imagery she is trying to describe is someone who is looking up and like screaming at the sky cuz of the song title and also because like you look at the sky to scream at god when you are angry kinda thing
