    Taylor nunca decepciona con sus discos y Midnights no es la excepción, la portada no es algo que me fascine, pero nada que afecte en lo más mínimo. Un sólido 10 de 10.

    Her best pop album so far. Definitely my favourite.
    She dives into a dream pop soundscape without compromising on the quality of lyrical content, which makes her one of the greatest songwriters to ever exist. A writer and artist who's artistry transcendls genre altogether. Poetic storylines, intelligent word play and dreamlike melodies leading midnights to be a top tier album in her discography.

    10/10 hands down the best album ever. Anti hero is so catchy. My second favourite is Karma.

    Despite other great releases like red, reputation and folklore, midnights shows how much of a basic white girl Swift has been through out her career.

    It's a return to a familiar sound for Taylor, but less about commercial, in your face pop and more about lyrical intimacy. It's a masterpiece in the imagery that it evokes. It's a slower burn that hooks you in more with each listen.

    I absolutely love Taylor Swift but this album didn't do it for me. While there were some good songs like Maroon and Anti-Hero, most of the tracks I found disappointing and quite frankly, boring. I think this may be one of her weakest albums to date, recycling the same themes from previous albums, and seemingly recycling the vibes as well.

    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.

    Definitivamente é o melhor álbum POP da Taylor.
    Ela traz a ritmo viciante do 1989 com a superprodução do Reputation, só que alguns níveis acima.
    Além de contar com a coesão do Folklore.

    Midnights is Taylor's most cryptic, eerie, lyrically genius, musically well-mastered, that claims its throne as probably, the best album of the decade.

    I've spent some time trying to put it into words, but Long Story Short, this album is a pure masterpiece, praised with universal acclaim.

As a swiftie myself, the excruciating wait was beyond worth it, proving that after all these years, Taylor is still a Mastermind, Bejeweled with diamond mines of inspiration, and story writing skills who resemble the ones of the greatest authors of all time. She's arguably a modern-day counterpart to Shakespeare. I do understand that this complex album is not everyone 's cup of tea, with initial reactions resembling the ones during the release of reputation.

    a classic pop album from Swift. It takes someone extremely talented to go from making folk-acoustic music with lyrical focus to making pop earworms with insane melodies and sick beats

    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.
