    Whole album was a cash grab, 20 versions and for what ? She didn’t release a lead single because she knew if people heard how it was going to sound her streaming numbers would be low, nothing on the album stands apart from the rest it all sounds the same, it’s nothing we’ve heard before from her, lazy lyrics, boring melodies, monotonous voice, whole thing should have been scrapped

    Very, very generic and lacks life, like most of Taylor Swift’s music and albums, unfortunately. Don’t have a clue how it charted like it did, except for the fact that most of the public prefer flat, mainstream music and aren’t open to changing/expanding their view of artists out there.

    Taylor just proved how basic she is. If you listen to her discography, you’ll never know which album the song is from because everything sounds exactly the same, never changes. And the fact that she insists on bringing up one hundred different versions of the same song is really annoying.

    Terrible and BORING as usual, no good vocals and overall one of the worst albums of all time. Massive downgrade, she’s been in her flop era and hasn’t had a single good album. Overall boring, terrible production, horrible autotune, lazy lyricism, and pure TRASH. She shouldn’t have dated min0rs and built like a tayble, horrible nasty woman.

Only liked the opening track "Lavender Haze" which is ironic because Zoe Kravtiz co-wrote it showing Taylor needs to actually work with black women more for good quality songs!

    I feel like I am missing something with everyone praising this album and it getting good reviews. To me it’s just not that good, her worst and weakest album to date.

The melodies go absolutely nowhere, vocal melodies are so boring and the production is plain, there’s no vocal range, Taylor stays in the same register the entire time, lyrics are not so great either, throwing in a few big words doesnt necessarily make a song good, feels like her tackiest juvenile lyrics yet. It doesnt sound like a taylor swift album. Snow On The Beach is decent and anti hero is a grower but thats it. Not one good hook or amazing bridge something she is very well known for. The songs just sort drag on, like you are waiting for something to happen and it just doesnt. She used Lana as a selling point and she barley sung on the song apart from one line. Its like jack told her 'hey go read some monotone poetry' and write lyrics like that and I’ll do some boring synth work over the rest. It’s basically sounds like a bad jack antonoff album to me, not a Taylor swift one. I think she needs to stop working with him, hes boring and doesn’t challenge her and most of his stuff all sounds the same. I don’t know how swift can go from writing songs like Dear John on her own at 19 to whatever this mess is, like I expected hard hitting lyrics the way she describe this album but to me it sounds like something a semi decent 19yr old pop singer today would write. If any other artist released this I wouldn’t have listened to it, and if any other artist released this I doubt they’d be getting the same hype. It feels like nothing but favouritism to me at this point, anything she does gets praised no matter if its good or bad, anyone who dares gives her constructive criticism is deemed a hater and that’s the problem critics are afraid of getting blacklisted or attacked by her or her fans and when you have an entire fandom that are yes people there is zero room for growth. Overall an underwhelming album that isn’t that enjoyable to listen to and something that is forgettable, I’ve listened to it over and over the past day and not one lyric or melody has stuck or played in my head, something that always happens with a swift album and this is coming from a swiftie since 2007.

    Nothing new, same sound, mid lyrics. She needs to stop making music for a few years to understand which direction to go since 2019 she has released mediocre material and impulsively dropped albums does not help the artist's creativity even if it satisfies your fan base which in this particular case is mainly a white demography.

    Instrumentally there is nothing to discuss other than a basic drum machine, vocally there isn't many hooks or melodies to really draw you in. It's a very lyrically focused album, but unless you're already a Taylor Swift fan there isn't much to keep you around to really listen to those lyrics.

    Taylor Swift's worst offering yet.

    There are only two songs I have any recollection of after listening (Anti-Hero & Karma) and the rest are either unmemorable or sound the same (or both). The lyrics sound like she put her discography, some words she thought sounded nice, profanity, and some pop culture references into EI and this is what popped out.

The lyrics sound like she put her discography, some words she thought sounded nice, profanity, and some pop culture references into EI and this is what popped out. It's cringy and incoherent and she uses too many vocal effects. It sounds like she both hates herself and is obsessed with herself and revenge and desperately wants you to think she is a badass. There are many cringy lyrics such as "Karma is a cat purring in my lap" and "Sometimes I feel like everybody is a sexy baby and I'm a monster on the hill." One would hope these were cheeky songs, except she sounds like she is trying to be sensual. I'm not a Taylor-hater by nature either. I was a fan for the majority of her career but this is all the worst elements of her music put together and amplified. Listening to this album truly felt like she was trying to see if she could put out terrible music and still dominate the charts and have critical acclaim due to her name-powet. It is a cringy and disappointing offering.

    Claramente Taylor Swift compro sitios de criticas para que sus reviews sean perfectas a pesar de que MIDNIGHTS es un album aburrido y pretencioso que solo alaban las peluqueras de sus fans que se sienten especiales por escucharla, pero siendo realistas, es un album malo.

Whoever's calling it dark and cryptic has lost their mind, this is literally what a 16-year-old would write after breaking up as they decide and alternate between the feelings of 'oh no my love is gone' and 'who cares, am a bad b!tch'.

It genuinely sounds like a bunch of Lover and Folklore rejects put together just because Taylor hadn't put out an album in an entire year. The vocals on the deluxe 7 tracks are still fine but on the original album, they are just bad and rotten. As for lyrics, I had, with all my heart, soul, mind, believed that Taylor is THAT girl in songwriting, like just amazing in it, but some lyrics like:
    "Karma is a cat purring on my lap cause it likes me"
    "Somedays I feel like everybody's a sweet baby"
    "Spider Boy, King of thieves'
    It's such abysmal writing, I am honestly horrified.

    Lavender Haze and Snow On The Beach sound rather fine, but other than that the whole album is like a greatly anticipated movie's bad trailer only, it's like the Junglebook with the graphics of the Junglepeople. Every song seems to build on and on and on, but it never stops building to reach that climax. It can be a beautiful album, she had the chance, but except for the hype that Taylor Swift brings, I really don't think is a critical or commercial success, it's, to be straightforward, plain boring.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This album encapsulated a really cool vibe! Unfortunately, it felt like these songs were passed options from her Lover era. Highlights like Vigilante **** and Maroon seemed to be missing something production wise. Still a really cool vibe- but this mixed with the lyrics in Karma have taken this album down for me. Expand

    This album is as bland as hell and has no redeeming qualities. The lyrics are really awful and the delivery is really poor. One of the weakest albums I've ever heard. Damon Albarn is clearly a better songwriter.

    this album is a big no for me, I as a swiftie since 2012, feel that she has been declining in the quality of her new body of work. she is kind of becoming lazy to try to be good at writing new songs, she needs Jack to write good songs that are not pop. her last good album was Red, that is 10 years ago. she is very lost, maybe it is time for me to unstan her.

    All the songs sound the same and the lyrics are very lazy and childlike, not her best work.

    Not her best work. Subdued tones mixed with an over-saturation of lyrics. The marketing for this album is overshadowing the material itself.

    Another Taylor album that is still the same. She has so much more potential than what she put out. All the hype for what?

    This album is slow, no new sounds, same Taylor Swift album all over again. Karma and Vigilante are the only ones that can be saved.

    Midnights is as confused as it is disjointed, it wants to be intimate and fierce but at no point does it feel like either. Instead this album feels bloated and like outtakes from previous albums. Taylor's voice is not showcased on this album nor is her usual coherent and highly competent writing. The production of the album oscillates between sounding over-done and completely under-done.Midnights is as confused as it is disjointed, it wants to be intimate and fierce but at no point does it feel like either. Instead this album feels bloated and like outtakes from previous albums. Taylor's voice is not showcased on this album nor is her usual coherent and highly competent writing. The production of the album oscillates between sounding over-done and completely under-done. The album reaches its very short peaks with tracks like "You're on Your own Kid" and "Mastermind" the latter whose chorus is the strongest on the album, and the former feels more epic than its worth. This album is Taylor's first "post-pandemic" album and the production is much larger than her previous two albums Folklore and Evermore, but features none of the charm or lyrical wit of the previous two. Instead this album feels like a demo version of Reputation and Lover, while lacking any of the  merits those albums had. Expand

    Taylor managed to outdo himself by releasing an album worse than the lover. at least in lover we have highs and lows, (more lows than highs) this one is just low, so monotonous & so basic that it could be a Selena Gómez album. Its time to stop thinking jack antonoff is a good producer, hes been making the same song for years

    she's lost, it's a mix of her worst albums, and she's managed to do worse. she is not an admirable artist.

    Same old stuff. She is a great singer, but never go out herself. her new album don't change global music, its same pop, same semples and same rhymt. Beyoncé and Drake make new generetion move out. She is definityly be in stuck. Like Adele in her crying ballads

    this is literally the worst album of the decade. the lyrics are terrible, and in many songs they are just not connected and do not make any sense. she just tries to seem smart, but even using a dictionary does not help her much. the self-repeating with the music from the old albums is terrible. did you seriously repeat tunes from old albums? go finish your career. i am already not talkingthis is literally the worst album of the decade. the lyrics are terrible, and in many songs they are just not connected and do not make any sense. she just tries to seem smart, but even using a dictionary does not help her much. the self-repeating with the music from the old albums is terrible. did you seriously repeat tunes from old albums? go finish your career. i am already not talking about the fact that she does not change her sound. In 2014, in 2017, in 2019, the same sound. no creative growth, no progress. but you do not expect anything new from her, she does not care about music, she cares about sales and numbers on Spotify. she should rather finish her music career, because this is another mediocre album in her discography and also the worst album of this decade.

    every song sounds exactly the same. for her to come back with a well anticipated album I expected WAY more than what these songs have to offer. very disappointed in this release.

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

    apenas mais do mesmo. terceiro álbum igual. a taylor simplesmente jogou o 1989, o folklore e o evermore no liquidificador e saiu essa coisa aí.

    I loved her latest albums (Folklore/Evermore) but this one sounds like a bunch of rejected songs that didn't make it to her best albums. Rushed and unfinished. Have 2-3 good songs but, in total, it's a mess.

    Elevator music composers, Android ringtone creators and Mrs Crocombe must be all very grateful that Taylor Swift used their samples so they can get some cash from her, but otherwise this is pretty much useless artifact of human activity.

    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.
