Midnights was the first vinyl I finally decided to get because I'm OBSESSED with 70s style and music. What a MASSIVE disappointment it ended up being for me 😩
YES. Yes. Yes. Yes. The aesthetic she put out didn’t match the sound. I was expecting some Stevie nicks gypsy vibes. I love midnights, but I absolutely said “wtf is this” upon first listen.
@@0485dlp totally. In 2019 I started losing interest in Taylor after the release of Lover, but when she came back full force in 2020 with folklore and evermore and in 2021 with Red tv I started stanning her even more than before (1989 and rep era). I had huge expectations for Midnights and the whole rocky 70s grunge aesthetic, but I was left completely disappointed. It’s been 2 month and I don’t listen to the album anymore already. It’s not that bad (although Vigilante Shit is really really bad imo) but it feels so rushed and feels like she mainly cared for the money and not the art this time. Also I’m a huge Lana fan and was disappointed by the collab 🥲
@@paolo2411 couldn't agree more. Part of me thinks she actually shot herself in the foot with folklore and evermore because they were just SO good anything that comes after will likely pale in comparison. And weirdly enough I feel the same with Lana after NFR. NFR and Ultraviolence are my favorites from her but NFR is just on another level. I like Chemtrails now, but I was underwhelmed at first. And Blue Banisters I never listen to other than Wildflower Wildfire. The new single she just released sounds exactly like Blue Banisters so I'm super disappointed. But yea, I was also super underwhelmed with Snow On The Beach. Midnights in general felt like a massive step backwards, musically and lyrically.
@@0485dlp I totally agree. Also with the Lana thing. I honestly liked Chemtrails as soon as it came out but NFR was just on another level. BB was a disappointment and it just feels like a collection of old and new songs and I don’t really see a concept behind it. I have faith in her 2023 album tho. I like the vibe the cover art gives off and the first single is not NFR level good but it is still very good. Let’s just hope Taylor and Lana continue collaborating and offer us a real collab not just backing vocals
I really like her long hair, mostly styled like in the directors video. She is very tall so I always thought that it made more sense to compliment her long vertical line. And I completely agree, the DA/academia cottagecore/parisian styles with a long jumper and a skirt underneath were my favourite styles of the year, generally I think she is heading in the right direction since folklore. She seems so confident and like curious about the film making and as though she has found a new challenge. That’s good because she needs different ways of getting creative I think, so that she doesn’t get tired of the music industry and I’m also really looking forward to the influence her different creative outlets are gonna take on each other
The bejewelled draped dress and bejewelled green skirt we got this year were my favourite glamorous looks ever and most memorable. Love seeing her shine in this era. I was really into the 70s outfit styling for midnights even though it kinda miss lead me with the vibe of the music. The Mirror ball outfit definitely deserved a moment.
Judge me but Red era was everything to me... Her look, vintage and índie was everything. I dont agree with her being so Hard on herself saying she was using old ladys dresses when she was 23.. That style should come back being a trend because it used to bring such a mature vibe for her. It was Definitely The best.
Had to pause the premiere for a second, and when I came back, it was no longer there. I was screaming into the universe wondering what I had done to deserve this cruelty, but I’m glad to see things have been restored, and I can now enjoy the remaining morsels of this delicious meal. Thank you, Zach. 😌
Besides her music and very controlled film q&as/interviews, Taylor's rare candids and hostage videos (aka thank you videos) are quite frankly how we get a sense of who Taylor is as a person anymore. Private queen. Customs aside, the problem with the fit of Taylor's clothes is Joseph Cassell pulls Sample Size items (aka size 0-2) clothes. Samples are thrown around by brands to stylists; celebrities are expected to fit the size 0-2 samples. Fit problems with samples is often a major problem for celebrities.
I was most impressed with the Toronto Film Festival gold gown. The HD footage of the interview with Cameron Bailey really brings out the shimmer, and you can HEAR it as she moves during the conversation! New here, really enjoying your content - thanks!
Loved this Zack!!! ♥️ I just think the two gold looks she wore last year are not her shade of gold, I feel like she looks way better in a champagney gold instead of a true yellow gold. And kinda with you on the bangs, I do think she looks great but I’d LOVE to see her in a bouncy curtain bang!! Imagine her glorious mane in a 90‘s layered cut with curtain bangs, styled in bouncy and voluminous blowouts, it would be a slay!!
omg I just noticed her outfit at the Tribeca Film Festival, she gave us an Midnights Easter egg because she was wearing the midnights bracelet 😱. Btw, love your videos 💜
guys if ur not watching solo in Tokyo u are missing out I normally hate watching vlogs but I gave it a go and I watched all 3 episodes in a row non stop so drop everything now and watch it
As a woman her exact age/height/colouring I feel like I get all this fashion advice for free 😂 it can be hard for us 5’11 peeps. Nothing off the rack is really in proportion. I can never ever ever buy pants at the mall, they must be ordered online in X-long
The Labyrinth outfit would’ve worked if she didn’t wear the turtleneck, went for a chest-heavy look and put her hair up in a twist. Or even if the turtleneck was black instead of printed.
you should do a video reacting to rock remixes of midnights songs, since so many people want her to do a rock album!! Emo Veej (youtuber) has some really great rock versions. some of the songs remind me of speak now and i think it could be very nostalgic for people who miss pre-1989 taylor music 🤧
While I didn’t hate the houndstooth suit quite as much as you did, I agree it’s way too much. I don’t hate the print, but having such a busy print in high contrast black and white cover her body from her chin to her ankles is a headache and a half. The outfit needs some element to break it up, even if it’s just her skin from a much lower neckline or a high hemline if she was wearing that print as a skirt instead of pants. Since the turtleneck was the element that I disliked the most, I’d want that switched out for a black or deep colored top (wouldn’t want a bright color here IMO with the print already so eye catching) or even ditch a shirt entirely and go for that sexy blazer-as-a shirt look with a necklace. With the shirt gone or switched out, she can keep the pants and blazer together if she wants to though I agree that she’s probably best with switching out the pants as well.
I think the houndstooth number was an easter egg to say that she hides in plain sight. « She looks like a floating head and little hands » I think that’s kind of the point! Ik we don’t go crazy on the easter eggs around here but that’s what I think lol
I would like to know in short what your thoughts were on MMwM outfits. I feel they were misleading to the vibe of the album. Dark pop is really not translated in most of the outfits. My favorites were probably the Karma and Lavender Haze outfits. From the red carpet/out on the town looks that happened I would say my favourites were the EMA's outfits. I actually kinda like the straight down bangs look, especially with dark eye makeup. My least favorite would probably have to be the Tribeca look, (I guess I just don't like vertical striped outfits) or the VMA's looks. I wish it was a sparkly blue dress instead of silver stars, and the hair isn't it for me.
Her leotard and chain skirt thing is such a slay, the girls look amazing but her whole body looks so amazing and not just super skinny but like, strong and healthy and glowing, makeup is fierce, personally thought her hair was perfect for that look as well.. I actually think it's like the best she's ever looked and possibly her best look ever which I know is saying a lot 😅 also the bejewelled mini dress thing was a moment! Looked too good! Only thing was her hair and makeup was a bit iffy but not enough to take away from how good the look is
I agreed with a lot of what you said other than that the black cut outty dress was sooooooo nice on her! Maybe the other elements (hair, etc) brought it down a notch but the dress itself I really liked. Then where you like the loose flow pants, those are the moments I'm like "whaaaaaat?" don't get it haha, not a fan.
i think if the AMA jumpsuit was a wide or straight instead of tapered it might have looked like it fit her better around the hips. for the EMAs (i am a dancer) i think the leo under the skirt would have looked sooo amazing with a higher cut to make the legs even longer!! i always hike my leos up in ballet for that reason my favorite look has to be VMAs because it’s iconic or joes premiere because she looks so good in a blazer!
I’m sorry but the first time I saw the VMA crystal dress my brain went: that’s made out of pipe cleaners. And no matter how many times I see it all I think is pipe cleaners and tinsel. I’m glad everyone else loves it but it looks uncomfy and like a dress I would make for a pencil in first grade.
Disliking the Jimmy Fallon look is not controversial in my book lol. Honestly that one aside this year whole year was slay after slay and I have been LIVING
Lmao "professor thats going to give you a B- when you didn't spell the name of the movie right," - that's how I felt in yesterday's livestream when I said " Hi Zack," when I damn well KNOW it's Zach! Please, forgive me, Doctor Swiftologist!!
I really don’t like that gold jumpsuit but I love the hair. The shoes feel all wrong to me too, for the clothing…it kind of gives 2012 Wet Seal homecoming dress vibes.
Take a look at Scooter’s ex-wife’s dress at the Met and then go back to after party VMA look. I think she was taking shots at 🛴that night since he was there.
Okay, my favorite was probably VMAs and my least favorite was absolutely the gross statement outfit. Just looked like an optical illusion and I had to focus on her face.
“We’re worried about it but we love to see it” about Tay’s foray into filmmaking. YES 😂😂😂
My thoughts exactly!!
Lol yes 😂
The thing I don’t understand is why her vibe was 70s this year but midnights didn’t reflect this at all in the sound 😩😩😩

“I am not a fashion expert.” Have you seen ANY outfit you have worn? ANY?!?! I think you have a really good since of style! You never go out of style!
omg you're too kind....
@@theswiftologist I LOVE the outfit in this video tho!
Tokyo outfits >>>>>
Honestly no he does not 💀 not give him false praise
@@Ferrishlikeseverything yea he slays in everything he puts on
HER COMFY CHIC LOOKS FROM THIS YEAR ARE EVERYTHING TO ME
it was the moment!

I really love the cozy girl chic/ dark academia vibe she has going on. I really hope she keeps leaning into that in 2023.
“Wellness check on Taylor Swift’s eyebrows”…I’m dead 💀
Well.....ARE THEY WELL?
🤣🤣😂😂😭😭🙌
High key forgot she had eyebrows 😭
No matter if it’s tayvoodoo or Miley stans, the swiftologist can’t be defeated!
AMEN
Her eyebrows? Looking amazing on full display in the bejeweled MV! Reminding everyone why the bangs aren’t always the best the idea
so chrew

I was really into the 70s outfit styling for midnights even though it kinda miss lead me with the vibe of the music. The Mirror ball outfit definitely deserved a moment.
mirror ball outfit changed lives...
I thought Midnights definitely had a seventies vibe sonically.
The sweaters with the plaid skirts that she wore with my favs.. Ugh, so good. And the VMA's after party I loved!
Judge me but Red era was everything to me... Her look, vintage and índie was everything. I dont agree with her being so Hard on herself saying she was using old ladys dresses when she was 23.. That style should come back being a trend because it used to bring such a mature vibe for her.
It was Definitely The best.
why would I judge you that's my favourite era of all time
Omg the early and late Red era were so incredible, January-July 2014 was especially pleasing to me
That last look is a complete SLAYYYY!!!!
I loooooveeeee it
The real ones were here when tayvoodoo shut down the premiere cause we were roasting her
when the tayvoodoo evacuated the dance floor
No cause I haaateed that outfit and I wasn't even hiding my hatred.
someone in taylor nation made some calls, the calls were coming from inside
Totally agree on the houndstooth outfit. It hurts my eyes to look directly at it. LOL
an optical illusion
“sent out ashley instead” I CANT OMG HAHEHAHAHA
By far, I love the sparkly polo dress! It looks beautiful on her!
I think so too!
youre the only youtuber who makes me excited to see new videos, please never stop

I was lucky enough to see her at tiff and she looked even better in person
also yes she has extensions
I agree about the helmet bangs. She’s halfway to a bowl cut. Taylor please ask your hairdresser to trim them and thin them out!!!!
they could be so good
"Wellness check on Taylor Swift's eyebrows". You are HILARIOUS and I 💜 your videos!!!
Great video, and the return of my favorite phrase “serving c***”. The highest of praise.
cuntiness is next to godliness
Thanks for doing another video about Taylor Swift and her fashion for the year!
No problem!!
thank you Zachary, perfect video to watch after a long hellish day of work. Btw, my favorite look was the blue one with stars on it!
swiftologist stans have been eating good in the midnight era with all these videos 🙏
feeding my children !
This is the most correct take of all time. I couldn’t agree more on every single outfit.

LMFAO
omg I just noticed her outfit at the Tribeca Film Festival, she gave us an Midnights Easter egg because she was wearing the midnights bracelet 😱. Btw, love your videos 💜
I’ve been watching all your recent videos lately and I’m obsessed with you and your commentary. 😂😂😂❤❤❤
Zach you should do a video for 2023 too. We've been fed A LOT this year by her looks :)
Wellness check on Taylors eyebrows 😂😭 7:55
10:18 the candid one is also a skay for me !
"it's really giving I'm a giraffe"
😭😭😭
Your style is iconic! I love everything you wear darling!
thank you!!
i liked the prada shoes, they match her iconic lip stick
THE WELLNESS CHECK COMMENT FOR HER BROWS HAD ME DEAD 💀
Loving how her eyebrows being MIA is the new “does taylor have a bellybutton”
It's giving tortured poets department and we didn't even know it.
PLEASE YOU ARE SOO FUNNY I LOVE HOW YOU MAKE VIDEOS SO INTERACTING AND NOT BORING
would love to see you do a video with your top Taylor red carpet looks overall!
I DO LOVE HER HELMET BANGS THEYRE SO CUTEEE
lmao not the root canal! 12:54
guys if ur not watching solo in Tokyo u are missing out
I normally hate watching vlogs but I gave it a go and I watched all 3 episodes in a row non stop so drop everything now and watch it
I LOVE her all statement jumpsuit its so cool!!! and she looks great lol
As a woman her exact age/height/colouring I feel like I get all this fashion advice for free 😂 it can be hard for us 5’11 peeps. Nothing off the rack is really in proportion. I can never ever ever buy pants at the mall, they must be ordered online in X-long
not me going feral when the premiere got shut down
I loveee the blue outfit midnights hair but each to their own
The Labyrinth outfit would’ve worked if she didn’t wear the turtleneck, went for a chest-heavy look and put her hair up in a twist. Or even if the turtleneck was black instead of printed.
The diamond dress is my favorite dress she has ever worn.
7:20 “I’m a giraffe”. This is funny coming from you hahaha
The root canal at the dentist 🤣🤣😭
Taylor: shows her forehead literally a look before
Zach: "we haven't seen her brows in years!"
love ya per usual
I think Taylor looks the best without bangs!!
12:14 she looks like a optical illusion 💀
she might've sent ashley......... please i screamed
well !!!
Watching this in 2024, still amazing ! The horse joke.. I'm dead lol
Oh wow I actually really liked the 9:00 fit! Maybe not the best hair, but I like the outfit.

The herringbone everything was a Glitch. 😂😂
Ok but for real though….who has bangs their whole life? She can pull off so many different looks I keep hoping she will explore that one day 😢
9:53 THIS IS SOOO FUNNY OMFG
At 12:40, I think she was hinting at TTPD

lollll fashion is truly very subjective
You’re so funny and sincere. 😂 I loved a lot of looks that you hated tho 😅
9:55 nawt ashley 😭
YOU ARE ADORABLE -
LOVE YOUR CHANNEL.
Thank you!!
she looks fabulous in 5:10 ! I mean that back in 5:25

oooh yeah I see what you mean re the ema look!
19:16 this look is bad bad. You right it’s the fit issue. The bottom of the pants should’ve been bigger like disco esque
"I'm about to stomp on you" 🦒🤣 💀
Wait, I think you forgot your pray for Scott and Scooter in this video.
I did....oops
I looooooove this video ❤
I’m sorry but the first time I saw the VMA crystal dress my brain went: that’s made out of pipe cleaners. And no matter how many times I see it all I think is pipe cleaners and tinsel. I’m glad everyone else loves it but it looks uncomfy and like a dress I would make for a pencil in first grade.
Disliking the Jimmy Fallon look is not controversial in my book lol. Honestly that one aside this year whole year was slay after slay and I have been LIVING
she's really been turning out good looks this year!!! playing it safe but to her strengths
as someone who was at the EMAs i was gagged when i saw the red carpet pics on twitter
The VMAs Oscar de la Renta is the grown up version of the VMAs dress she wore when Kanye interrupted her.
vma after party look also high key outdoing yael cohen‘s (fugly) 2019 met gala look
The biggest flop for me was the golden jumpsuit, and the biggest hit the sparkly polo dress moment🥹
"Like an 80 year old waiting for a root canal at the dentist." 😅

Can you do her 2023 red carpet
agreed on the nashville look i pretend it didn’t happen
I really don’t like that gold jumpsuit but I love the hair. The shoes feel all wrong to me too, for the clothing…it kind of gives 2012 Wet Seal homecoming dress vibes.
Take a look at Scooter’s ex-wife’s dress at the Met and then go back to after party VMA look. I think she was taking shots at 🛴that night since he was there.
RIP taylor's eyebrows, 1989-2022
where R they
Truly RIP to her natural hair
Not giraffe lmao 😂
No bc I agree ur so right king
Okay, my favorite was probably VMAs and my least favorite was absolutely the gross statement outfit. Just looked like an optical illusion and I had to focus on her face.
I feel like i want to take your feedback on every outfit i do.
