Did YOU Meet Taylor at Midnight?

on

 AHHHHHH. MIDNIGHTS IS FINALLY OUT!!!


Okay. Pause. Time to be real… This album was actually a grower…

As much as I love and adore Taylor Swift, I had my thoughts and expectations all wrong. 


I was expecting another album like Folklore, but my predictions could not have been farther off!



She reverted to her pop-like sounds from albums like Reputation, Lover, and 1989 which was incredibly refreshing. 


This post took so long because I have been trying to formulate my thoughts about all of the songs.

While I may not have liked all the music at first, this album has quickly become my third favorite Taylor Swift album (only under reputation and evermore).


It is sad because the public hated the album when they did not fully understand the messages she was trying to get across. People said, “She put the ‘Mid’ in ‘MIDnights,’ BUT I COULD NOT DISAGREE MORE!


I am not sure what all of the songs mean, but I will have my fully-formulated opinions next week, and then I will have a breakdown of all of the Midnights music videos, merch drops, and easter eggs the week after. (Just for simplicity, the two-week schedule is: Deep Dive -> Merch and Video :D)



Here is also a comparison of what I thought my favorite tracks would be to what they are after hearing the tracks.
