sm0king that MIDNIGHTS by taylor swift pack *ALBUM REACTION*

This album is a fucking grower. They took risks and they succeeded. The more you listen to it, the more addictive it becomes. I love this kind of drug.

i stan the sexy baby line because it IS the beauty standard for women

The bridge of “you’re on your own kid” actually kills me. I honestly think it hits females on a different level. The try harding to be accepted, ignoring that it creates your worst insecurities. Coming out of a shithole and saying “well fuck i’ll do this for me now”.

Im pretty sure her performance of Vigilante Shit during the Eras tour had so many people questioning their sexuality

troy blacking out during maroon was truly swiftie behavior. "it all just hit me that we're getting new Taylor Swift right now." ✨

Just because Lana didn’t have a verse on Snow on the beach DOES NOT mean it’s a bad song. Would it have been better if Lana had a verse, yes, but it’s still a really good song

youre on your own kid is for the girlies, it hits us differently. love u dawg but its a gorgeous song that descibes the female experience perfectly and you really have to soak it in, take every lyric and pair it with a memory from your girlhood

For “you’re on your own kid” I truly think that the production was not meant to be the focus of the song. I think Taylor was trying to tell a story and the lyrics matter most. I think it’s a song to relate to and calmly enjoy. It was one of my favorite songs of the album and I think Troy should have focused on the lyrics and storyline more. But hey, still love ya dude. And Midnights in a masterpiece. 🌙

One of my fave things in Mastermind is when she sings that he smirked at the end, meaning he knew the whole time that she was scheming and he let her... and that it WAS fate that set them up.... so it was an invisible string tying them together

I don't trust people who call this album mid. Despite the upbeat production and enchanting melodies, the lyrics are so heartbreaking and they hit close to home. This album is so personal and special to Taylor, and I think people take that for granted. Every listen it gets better. It's Rep and 1989's child, with the heart of Lover. (and the writing/sadness of folklore and evermore)

The connection between anti-hero and mastermind gives me chills like the fear and trepidation in anti-hero that he will eventually figure out and “get tired of my scheming” and leave only to then finally have in mastermind where she feels like she has to tell him about the scheming even if it ends them, only for him to have known the whole time and loved her for it is so beautiful and a nice line through the whole album like finally sharing her fears and realizing that the people who love her love her in spite of and because of them

‘You’re on your own kid’ is a masterpiece for me. The entire album has been criticised lyrically compared to folklore and evermore but one has to understand that Taylor loves playing with genres and periods and language according to it. That being said, I love Midnight lyrically as well because of its simplicity in exploring and conveying emotions. It’s very simple - “you are on your own, kid. You always have been.” For someone who’s gone through a lot since childhood to adulthood, having to do everything by their own, I relate to the song on a personal level. The bridge, especially, her ‘simply’ suggesting us “everything you lose is a step you take” and encouraging us to “make the friendship bracelets, take the moment and taste it,” and then furthermore assuring us that “you’ve got no reason to be afraid” feels like home. These are words you would want to hear as a kid. Simple words. Taylor Swift is a genius!

"I wanna sing this to Angela" while listening to Sweet Nothing made me cry Troy

I'm that subset of the fandom that will always hold folklore/evermore at like the top tier and nothing will ever change that, but midnights is REALLY fucking close behind those, like midnights is a masterpiece

okay but the cat sitting on his lap whilst he's listening to karma is just iconic

Maroon is by far and away my favorite song on the regular album. Seeing your appreciation for it is WONDERFUL

No idea if you’ll see this but the last part of the song represents each album Sprinkler splashes: debut Fireplace ashes: fearless I gave my blood sweat and tears for this- speak now I hosted parties- red And starved my body like I’d be saved from a perfect kiss- 1989 The jokes weren’t funny I took the money, my friends from home don’t know what to say- reputation I looked around in a blood soaked gown and saw something they can’t take away- lover Cause their were pages turned- folklore With the bridges burned- evermore Everything you lose is a step you take, so make the friendship bracelets, take the moment and taste it- midnights

about “snow on the beach”, i think Lana’s main feature here is co-writing the song. idk if it’s the same for everyone but honestly i feel this song sounds so much like Lana, just the lyrics only. and then also the way the melody goes it’s just so Lana-ish. ofc she also sings and harmonizes with Taylor (a bit) in the chorus, and i think their voice compliment each other so much. yea it’s gonna be awesome if Lana sings a whole verse. but even tho she appears just in a small part of the vocal, i still think it’s great. bcuz she has together with Taylor created a masterpiece here, they are co-writers. a masterpiece made by two masterminds

the more i listen to this album the more i realise almost every song could be read as like her + joe's relationship falling apart

I love Labyrinth because it just makes you feel anxious, with it being soothing on top and then slightly weird underneath. It really is such a good song for people who are afraid to actually let themselves love someone properly
