    She has done it again! She made a pop classic. All the songs including the 7 bonus tracks are beautiful. Specially the album opener lavender haze , 2nd track maroon and vigilante **** are amazing. To describe it better I might say it is the child of 1989 and Lover along with a bit of revenge touch of reputation.

    A beautiful evolution of her pop sound, Taylor really honed her craft to create a dreamy synth/electropop album worthy of her caliber.

    A no-skips album. Her lyrics, as usual, are amazing. So far my only complaint is that I expected Lana del Rey to sing more during Snow on the Beach. However, it's a great song! Other songs that are my favourites (so far) are Vigilante **** Midnight Rain and Anti-Hero.

    This is Taylor's one of the most mature and yet cryptic album to date. The songs are in a beautiful order, it make you think about your and her past from lovely emotions to self-doubt and revenge. In summary Taylor Swift is the Music Industry

    By far her best work of art! She just proved again, that she is not only the songwriter of our generation but also the artist of our generation! Grateful to be alive at the same time as Taylor Swift! For real!

    Taylor Swift just dropped her tenth studio album, Midnights. Regarded as a concept album about "13 sleepless nights", this album is such a beautifully-curated program, matches the album concept definition.

This body of work also shows Taylor's integrity to make a great sonically-cohesive album (just like 1989/reputation/folklore/evermore), with more mature content and more maximalist than her previous pop albums. Kudos to Taylor, Jack, and team!… Expand

    The album sound was a pleasant surprise as Taylor has chosen to yet again go in a different direction. While you can hear flashes from 1989 and reputation, the overall sound is different from what she did before. It's darker, more experimental. I very much enjoyed it. May she forever keep our interest peaked.

    Her best album to date! Ambitious, fun, unlike nothing she’s ever done while still paying homage to her pop roots. The Aaron Dessner produced tracks are lovely, keeping the Folkmore stans fed and simultaneously evoking 70’s era disco tracks. It’s amazing from beginning to end. I look forward to hearing her AOTY acceptance speech!

    Her best pop album to date in my opinion.

    Although i think it's not her best work when it comes to lyrics (only reason i'm taking one point away), i also feel like the simplistic writing fits this sound perfectly. I was more focused on the angelic vocals, the beautiful melodies and the top tier production.

    Midnights marks Taylor Swift’s grand return to electronic pop. The shift to this sound back from alternative is done masterfully. Highlights of the album are definitely Labyrinth and Lavender Haze. The quirkiness in the choruses of songs like Bejeweled and Anti-Hero is a bit much. Overall, a strong pop album.

    This is the most honest,sharp deeply personal album Taylor Swift has ever put out,it explores so many realms of sadness,love,loneliness,stillness,revenge and being one in a relationship.
    The addition of the 7 songs (3am version) gives the album the weave length it needed in the sense of further sound/lyric exploration. Can’t be more grateful to be a part of this release day.

    Taylor Swift cured insomnia!! Iconic behaviour. Another non-event with songs that will have no impact beyond the album cycle.

    extraordinary, pop perfection, mesmerising lyricism... 'Snow on the Beach (feat. Lana del Rey)' is an absolute masterpiece...

    It allows Swift to do what she has always wanted: make an album for its own sake that is received primarily as a work of art instead of a commercial entity or tabloid fodder.

    It is very good. ... There are no major missteps within the album, although not everything works as well as the album’s brightest spots.

    While her 10th album doesn’t make instant classic status like 1989, and Evermore and Folklore remain her masterpieces, it is still an understated, beguiling look into the mind of one of the biggest pop stars of our age.
