    Once again a brilliant album from Taylor swift, returning to her camp-esque pop scene with a mix of tongue and cheek to poetic lyrics, simplistic and complex productions. It goes everywhere and its all around enjoyable for the fanbase she has amassed.

    Swift has done it again a pop masterpiece. The lyriscs cut deep like a knife. With soft ballads like sweet nothing and you’re on your own kid showing a more intimiate side of Swift

    I did not enjoy it as much as her last two releases, the 2020 sister albums. It just felt a bit watered down and a mixture of lover and reputation, That being said songs such as ANTI HERO, KARMA AND SWEET NOTHING are great. The 3am tracks sound more like the sister albums and I especially LOVE the great war and high infidelity

    EASILYYYY A 10!!! Taylor’s 10th studio album proves that she STILL is the artist of our generation breaking almost every streaming record within a week. The music is lively and fast but also calm and slow. U can hear roots from just about every other album since it’s a culmination of 13 sleepless nights throughout her life. She welcomes the synth sound from 1989, the dark pop fromEASILYYYY A 10!!! Taylor’s 10th studio album proves that she STILL is the artist of our generation breaking almost every streaming record within a week. The music is lively and fast but also calm and slow. U can hear roots from just about every other album since it’s a culmination of 13 sleepless nights throughout her life. She welcomes the synth sound from 1989, the dark pop from reputation, lyricism from folklore etc. a must listen to and the 3 am tracks are even BETTER!! You can tell that the songs were made at midnight because of how they sound so for best listening purposes I’d recommend listening at midnight.… Expand

    Amazing! She always manages to bring something new to the table and not mess it up. It's fresh, it's dark, it's new. The lyrics may seem simple at first but contain many messages and hidden meanings. Stunning.

    Este nuevo álbum de Taylor, ha sido uno de los mejores que ha lanzado en su carrera. Contiene combinaciones de ritmos y sonidos diferentes a los que acostumbra o lo que conocemos. Siendo que ella ya tiene un estilo marcado al crear música. En los últimos años a empezado a arriesgarse más con cada cosa que hace.

    I think what's so confusing about this album is the way that it was marketed vs the way it actually sounds. I expected melancholy, yearning, and regret... but we got "Karma is a cat."

    One of the best pop records of all time if I do say so myself and definitely Taylor's best pop album. Everything is on point from the production, vocals and songwriting. Taylor has matured in her music and this record perfectly showcases that

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a lifelong fan of Taylor Swift, it seems like she gets better with every album. This album is no exception. The themes are coherent, and the sound makes fans reminisce over past eras - 1989 and Reputation in particular. Personal favourites seem to be anti-hero, as well as Vigilante **** which is no surprise, seeing as they are two of the best songs on the album. Taylor has definitely outdone herself, and this album is something to listen to, even if you don't particularly like Taylor's past albums… Expand

    Great album. No explanation. Lavender haze, anti hero, midnight rain, vigilante sh!t, karma & sweet nothing are my faves.

    I still can’t wrap the tracks around my head but fo’ sure this magnificent work of art will sell her a great fortune. Indeed we are a tired, depressed generation and Taylor stupendously encapsulated that aspect of humanity where we constantly find ourselves indulgent of company with the deep, hormonally-intoxicating hours of night. Second to folklore, Miss Ma’am Swift outdone herself onceI still can’t wrap the tracks around my head but fo’ sure this magnificent work of art will sell her a great fortune.

    this album brought us back to taylor’s pop era in the best way! this synth pop masterpiece combines stellar songwriting with upbeat pop instrumentals curated by the dynamic duo jack antonoff and taylor herself.

    Taylor Swift manages again to make catchy pop anthems and telling her true self at the same time. Although Folklore's artistic personality and poetry might seem a little off, the singer is capable of creating good quality music with a fantastic concept. Midnights' lyrics and productions are not disappointing at all.

    Almost rivalling Black Country, New Road's album as the best of the year, "Midnights" is possibly modern production at its finest.

    É um som diferente do que a Taylor vinha fazendo e mais uma vez: ela conseguiu! O álbum está incrível e nos proporciona uma experiência incrível.

    A composição está incrível e impecável! É sensacional o fato de que ela compartilhou momentos tão íntimos e frágeis nas letras. A sonoridade e a produção é outro ponto alto desse álbum, uma verdadeira viagem sonora. Outra vez ela se reinventou e mostrou o seu novo capítulo, que veio com força total.

    This album is not overhyped at all, it's the baby of "Melodrama" by Lorde and some touch of "1989" by Taylor Swift to it!

    Un escupitajo y falta de respeto a la música. Música cliché y demasiado cringe para una señora mayor de 30 años.

    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.
