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!
Right! On first listen "Anti-hero" was my favourite then today I just can't stop playing " Question....? " I'm pretty sure my favourite on the album is gonna change again
You are soo right. Everyone connects with a different set of songs.
I am freaking obsessed with Sweet Nothing. I can't believe she actually wrote a more heartwarming love song than what she wrote in folklore
This!! I think you can easily say this for all her albums. And yes, your favorites can change from day to day, month to month, even year to year. Just recently found myself listening to Last Kiss and Long Story Short on repeat, two songs I liked, but weren't exactly my faves. It can really depend on the circumstances or your mood. Right now for Midnights it's Lavender Haze, YOYOK, SOTB, Labyrinth, and Karma. But for sure this is gonna change. 😻
@@rmsc9127 yes! I always find myself going down memory lane with her stuff, and I’ll fall in love with songs all over again, or for the first time of I didn’t care for them previously. Right now for me, it’s Labyrinth, Snow on the Beach, Lavender Haze, Anti-Hero, Karma, and YOYOK. Lol, I know, like half the album 😉. Of her 3 am tracks…love Great War, Dear Reader, and Would’ve, Should’ve, Could’ve. These will probably change also. It’s hard not to when you just immerse yourself in her albums!
Don't put conclusion too fast for every Taylor Swift album. We all to need to listen to it at least a week to finally see that each album is just a perfect masterpiece, titled perfectly, written carefully, crafted beautifully and break you through ultimately.
I agree. I jumped to conclusions the first listen. Now after listening to the whole album probably 8 more times, I understand every song and the beat just gets me
ifkr
Word!
I listened to the album at 3:30 in the morning the night it came out and I was not overly impressed at first but now I can't get it out of my head lol
Yeah
Mastermind, Labyrinth, Karma, Bejeweled, Midnight Rain, Question...?, Vigilante Shit, The Great Was, Bigger Than The Whole Sky and Dear Reader really has to grow on you first
I think this is one of her best albums yet! But then again, not one of her albums has ever disappointed me. I’ve been listening to her since I was 7 years old and I have loved growing up with her!❤️❤️❤️
It’s lover for meeeeeee
you haven't grown up if you still listen to Taylor Swift. She is like Santa Clause
@@homeboy8389 wth is wrong with you lol
@@homeboy8389 huh? That doesn’t even make sense but ok😂 if that’s supposed to be a hate comment, you did a bad job of it because Santa Clause brings joy to people and who wouldn’t want happiness in their life? I guess you🤷♀️🤷♀️
@@homeboy8389 Umm.. I know elderly people who listen to Taylor. She's a record-breaking and truly iconic artist. And she's 32, herself. Nothing to be ashamed about, my friend. And for an artist who's matured their sound and lyrical content, there are many songs on Midnights that I don't think I'd get away with showing to younger children lol
this album is a revolution and is gonna put a huge shift in the music industry!!
How come?
@@sofv1ly Yeah but that's more due to the marketing and anticipation then the album itself. She did not do something new or different like un the past. This is a good album but definitely not her best ! And you should calm down a bit, you'll get an ulcer.
@@Fouloul. I'm sorry but that's 100% ur opinion. I'm glad u think its a good album, its fine if u don't think its her best. But even if it doesn't have the folkmore level lyricism its still a fucking great lyrically written album if u look behind and research the meanings of some of the phrases and sentences. It wasn't just the marketing and the good roll out, its because taylor swift is just one of the greatest songwriters and music artists of the century, that IS a fact. She knows just how to promote her music/work, she knows her own fanbase very well, and knows how to interact with them. And listen, I'm not telling u to calm down and stop being excited about something u love/ur passionate about. So don't tell me how much i should be excited for things. I am not ashamed of being a die-hard taylor swift fan. And i can still definitely be critical of taylor's music and lyrics, and not always see her as some perfect goddess because she's not, no one's perfect. There's a reason why she broke countless records in the past few days, not just because of great promotion, but because she's a lyrical and musical genius.
@@Fouloul. it’s all about marketing but she’s gained so many more fans from folklore and evermore, since 1989/reputation eras. She’s intelligent. The way to get pre sale access to her tour tickets is to purchase the album physical copy. The anticipation for the album did great as well. She’s a marketing genius, ppl say lyrical genius, and killed records bc of it!
@@Fouloul. by the way, idk that persons response but you asked how come she’s making a change, it’s bc of her now holding various records in music with only more to break in the days, weeks, months to come with this album. It’s competition & at this point, she’ll be as memorable as any other artist who’s passed on.
This album is going to be one of her staple albums. So good!
Um they all are her staple albums^^
i feel bad for this generation. music these days suck so much that people celebrate a mediocre artist like Taylor swift
@@homeboy8389 mainstream music has been mediocre for a long time. But in every generation, there is at least one exception. For example, I mostly listen to metal and hard rock but I gotta give it to TS that she is a very talented songwriter. I like her country stuff more but even most of her pop songs are good lyrically!
@@homeboy8389 I’m not a fan but her music and lyrics are absolutely more than mediocre
@@homeboy8389 ok boomer lmfao go drink ur pills
Agreed how it’s a mix of folklore and 1989, also you presented all these facts about the release so well in the video, thanks for the update
I hear a lot more Lover than Folklore tbh.
Midnights have:
1989 + Reputation music productions
folklore + RED lyrics wise
@@lanadelreyhey im honestly getting rep and lover
it has the lyricism of folklore/evermore.The production of 1989,lover and reputation
@@augustnvirgo2728 Not really Folklore or evermore in my opinion, Taylor has used far more power in her lyrics on the folklore and evermore albums compared midnight's
For me it is a masterpiece again. Production and lyrics are top notch.
Midnights is my favorite Taylor album yet. It’s Taylor’s most adult pop album so far, and I really resonate with the sounds and themes. Great late night chill-out music. A combo of Folklore and 1989 was exactly what I was thinking.
This Album is an A+!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this album! It has an almost retro 70’s sound. SO amazing. Love Anti-Hero and Karma!
has a retro look, furniture, clothes, love it
She hit many Genres and many feels not to mention the Vibes! 💙🦸♂️😻
with all shes gone thru, this makes me so happy! shes iconic
Taylor has yet again delivered excellent with midnight. This album is a masterpiece in a way which is so unique, and stunning! It cannot be compares to her previous pure pop albums like 1989, reputation ,or lover, it is an independent entiry which has certified bops. Not everyone can pull off amazing albums back to back 15 years into their career, and 9 albums later! She is literally shattering all records on every platform ever, I'm so proud of her 👸🏼❤.
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.
I'd say Midnights is a mix between Lover, 1989 and Rep
Agree!!!! 🙌
And i would ad the sharp writting of folklore and evermore. I dont know how to describe it because i dont know the perfect word (i am french) but i can say that her writting style is really clear and visual. It just refreshing and perfect
I hear a bit of Red and Speak Now on it as well. And in You're Own Your Own Kid, the beginning reminds me of Fearless.
Midnights is not my favorite TS album but I can't deny that it's good. At first listen, I find it bland and the only song I loved at first hear was Anti-Hero. Then a day passed and all songs turned out pretty good. Really the kind of songs you'd listen in the middle of the night
I kinda feel the same. Unlike other albums, this one is a bit hard to grasp just from the first listen. I needed at least 3-4 listen to finally enjoying the album
OMG SAME!
@𝐝𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐬 relate 😭 its not that I don't love Midnights. Folklore and Evermore was just TOO GOOD!
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
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💎🌌
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.
Midnight Rain is phenomenal
I got chills listening to it.
It took me a few listens but now I am absolutely obsessed, almost every song is amazing. ✨SHIMMER✨
i remember when i first listened to this i only liked a couple of songs. now that i’ve listened to it it think 5 or 6 times now i have a certain respect for all of them and they have really grown on me. its also a big change from folklore/evermore which was very grounded and quiet to midnights which was very much 1989 and loud.
Listen to the ones you just “like” a couple more times and I swear you’ll love them
This is the most relatable comment I've seen today
@@tzking7640 for real though! I just skimmed through the first time and after lavander haze I was like… okay :/ and then I listened again and again with headphones and there’s not one I don’t love love love lol
My 3 favorites 1.Karma 2.Anti-Hero 3.Lavender Haze I give the album a 9.1/10.
I just want her to release her tour dates already.
She has on Instagram.
Midnight rain is my favorite song! The lyrics are really really pretty. Mastermind, vigilante shit, anti hero, and maroon are in my top five!
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. I didn’t go to stream the album at midnight, I listened the the radio because it was going to play the whole album back to back with no ads! also shoutout to the haim sisters, they sound like the best people ever.
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. (I don’t know why this is…?) It will be interesting to see if Taylor’s new listeners (there are MANY since Midnights dropped!) will find they feel the same way.
I am a new listener and it’s exactly like you said. I was about to comment this but saw your comment first. Me and my cishet man fiancée just listen on repeat 😂 and our favorites changed already. Also, now we know all about her and her exes, songs, interviews, cats, humor 😂 midnights is the first TS vinyl i bought, let’s see what happens 😅
FR lemme tell you i did not like lavender haze or paris or even karma the first time but now I can't STOP playing them they become my #1s so fast haha. and songs I immediately loved at first like maroon or question, I don't listen to as often but still love
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...
I'm so proud of Swifties we did it!
i love this video & i love your commentary on the whole album!
I feel like she’s grown up and you can tel from the words of her album. Can’t wait to see where she goes from here!
So glad you spoke about TRACK 5
I'm in love with this album. And I have more favorites towards the latter half of the album's 13 songs (the extra 7 are a whole other beast). 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 🤭
Never liked her music much…until Folklore and now I am fan of her work. The music is not revolutionary, but the topics are relatable and she is so vulnerable sharing her struggles. Listening to her album makes me happy. Thank you Taylor ❤
I'm obsessed with Midnight Rain and I honestly don't know why?
Me too and now obsessed with your dp🥵🥵🥵
Are you real??
@@singhkhan6580 what’s a dp
@@1er1s display picture!!!
Thanks for uploading this! Love the content! 💜
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.
And this is why you announce the album ahead of its release
This album is an A++++++++++
Great job Taylor!!!! 😍😍😍
I love this album! I’ve been listening to it since it came out. I hear it every where too. People playing it.
A+ for sure, it’s a new sound we all needed to hear
I am so happy I am on of the people streaming on Spotify.Yes, Taylor!!!!I love u so much Queen!!!
Thanks for your honest review👍❤️
It's not my most fave album from her, but still think it's good! I loved only a few songs from the get-go, though the others I learned to appreciate after hearing some more
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!
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! ❤
I loved every track on the original 13. The bonus tracks were great but they touch on things that make me emotional in a bad way, much like I don't throw in Ronan or Soon you'll get better on purpose to avoid a mood crash. Amazing album, love the vibes.
Snow on the beach!! So good
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!
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 ✨
She's amazing 🥰
When you factor in all 21 tracks, and the 2 remixes I grade this album a total A++ for its production, lyrics, and concept! #midnights.become.my.afternoons! 🌙
The Travelling Wilburys were a British American all male Super group consisting of Bob Dylan George Harrison Jeff Lynne Roy Orbison and Tom Petty. Its 2022 and we need an all female Super group of Pop Divas. Taylor Swift Lana Del Rey, Lorde & HAIM all together will be remarkable
True, that’d be great for sure! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💕💕💕💕
I love this album my favorite is lavender haze 💜
I FRIGGEN LOVE ANTI HERO!!! You’re on your own kid hits so hard! Mastermind is so good sonically!!
OK BUT SNOW ON THE BEACH NEEDS MORE LANA DEL REY PLS!! HER VOICE SUITS THE SONG SO WELL AND SHE GOT SNUBBED!!
Love this album 💞
I’m loving it… todays fave is you’re on you’re own kid!
Snow on the beach is my favorite track so far. It's on repeat over here. I love the lyrics on Karma.
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.
I ve been screamig karma and vigilante shit from the day it was released...i like her catchy songs
Vigilante sh!t too good
Midnight is amazing I'm proud of Taylor Swift releasing this, this is the best album so far that she has made she deserves all the crowns in the world you go queen nothing but love for her. Her and the ppl that help make this are amazing are such Artistry beautiful just amazing. 👏👏👏👏👏👏💖she is A👸
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'm 72yo, I love the whole Album, I'm going Vinyl. Congratulations from New Zealand 🇳🇿 👏 ❤️
You’re a rare talent G, a global treasure!
This was a GREAT dissection of the album, way to go. Great job! I love Taylor's work regardless.
I was so looking forward to the album drop. Sorry I missed the frenzy, but I was having one of the worst weeks of my life. I'll listen to it when I'm ready. Can't wait for the tour. I've always wanted to go to a Tay tour! I'm about to go to Lizzo's in 2 weeks so excited!
It is just BRILLIANTLY BEAUTIFUL ....Bend and Snap !
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.
She’s incredible
Brilliantly beautiful!
I'm balling!!😭
I looove the Bejeweled & Anti Hiro so much! Still have to here a few more song from the album
MIDNIGHT RAIN IS GLORIOUS AND ONE OF THE BEST TRACKS!
I can only think by your reaction, you didn’t listen to the lyrics, understand the album concept, or appreciate her place in pop history. Millions of fans can’t be wrong 🤷🏻♀️A+
This is a 10/10 album! I don't think it dips. In fact I think it continues to give us heartbreaking songs or BOPS!!!!! I love all the songs!!!!! She doesn't disappoint at all!!!!!
Listen to it 3-4x more times, then re-evaluate. It took Folklore a bit to grow on me too. Trust me.
Taylor IT IS the music industry. She does miracles that Kanye would NEVER do!!! Love how the queen do this without being in purpose! ❤
The more I listen to it the more I love this album
Same!
I love it
this album is Phenomenal
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 ☺️
yeheyyy!!! taylor and all of us swifities did it again!!!!
it’s taylor nation!❤❤❤❤
This album is definitely reminiscent of a lot of her past works
Album broke all the sales records ⌚⏰📟
I love you Taylor
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.
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!
Her best work yet.
A+ with lots of extra credits
me drinking wine listening to taylor like how did she know my life
Love The album. Congratulations Taylor
Masterpiece ❤
"Lavender Haze" should have been the album's leading single.
There are only few people in the world I would Kill or die for and ❤️ Taylor Swift ❤️ is one of them.
Thts exactly what I said! It’s like a cross between 1989 & Folklore!
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.
ALBUM IS AN A+
I love
Lavender Haze
Midnights Rain
Bejeweled
And sweet nothing 😍😍😍😍😍
