    The album is such a new refreshing sound , with same poetic lyrics that truly touches the heart every track has a unique and different voice, her gelly pen lyrics used to be cringe a little however in this album she just handled it beautifully and on point . and most importantly she’s finally making hits again we missed that .
    Lived up to my expectations

    O álbum está fraquinho, nenhuma música que "rebente" com tudo! Melodias muito parecidas...
    É bom para por de fundo no dia a dia.
    A Taylor está muito genérica!!!

    The best album by Blondie! The sweety pop on melody's make me feel so good. Taylor is the best compositor by her generation and it have to be appreciate

    Incredible production and lyricism. Might not be Taylor’s best album, but definitely one of the best ones.

    Although a combination of her previous pop albums Taylor does it again making something great. It is a concept album reflecting on sleepless nights scattered throughout her life so it makes sense to have a combination of her other albums sounds.

    more like MIDnights amirite? pretty boring & played it very safe. the whole album seems like discography filler. 1989, you’ll be missed.

    Midnights is, without a doubt, one of the best albums Taylor has even written. How she tells her story and still makes the listener relate to it in a way that only she can do is impeccable. Every song is lyrically appealing and profound. She's opening herself in a way she has never done before and it's beautiful.

    This album shows an amazing level of maturity in Taylor's songwriting while it being a celebration of swifties and previous eras of her career by noding to little details that her fans notice...
    The production is really awesome as well.
    Great project!

    This album, though its gorgeous lyric writing and funky melodies, was highly over anticipated. Hoping for another folklore/evermore album, left with an upbeat, yet somehow heartbreaking, pop album. It just reminded us that she is a corny millennial.

I, however, am glad she opened up about her past traumas a lot more in this album. And the love songs, so exquisite. Her use of metaphors to make Joe Alwyn seem less bland than he actually is. This album is essentially Reputation 2, if it had come out after Lover, it would've been more enjoyable, but the standards were set so high with Folklore.… Expand

    Taylor Swift has once again proved how versatile she is as an artist. The thing about this album is that it resonates with the beauty of human emotions and truly exhibits the courage to accept all of it. The production is sonically cohesive and the moment I hear each of the tracks, it feels like I was transported in an old 1970s movie that doesn't even exist.

It makes me wonder and wander off to the deepest parts of myself to the point of losing it but then the songs were also perfect in a way that makes you find your way back where you left off.

    Midnights is by far her best pop album to date. It’s already sold more than 1989. She’s a queen.

    Taylor did it again. A wonderful album that became an instant classic. Beautiful lyrics with some chill beats. Labyrinth is one of the best songs I’ve heard in a while. Devastating lyrics combined with reassuring music. Life is not a complete misery after all.

    This album deserves every single AOTY award. So many people disappointed me in this life but Taylor Swift never. This album is her successful comeback to Pop. She is the last great American artist.

    Wow, this album has left me with that part of 1989, a bit of Reputation and Lover. A genius in pop music singles like Maroon, Sweet Nothing, or the unimaginable Anti-Hero leave you amazed and you fall in love with the album.

    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.

    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.
