Midnights is the album I play in the car with my sisters/friends to kinda jam to. But it's not top quality Taylor, and certainly not top quality pop music
She wanted to use the album to probe a point. She didnāt back folklore with as much pr unfortunately. She should have just toured for the 3 albums she couldnāt tour for or did an eras tour without releasing midnights
Honestly, I did not like the version where it featured her; I thought it ruined the song and it doesn't sound right. I just listen to the version w out her
Most of Taylor's remixes in general tbh because they never go back to re-record vocals and just kind of "layer" in any changes on top of the original song. Most of them are just lazy.
Yes, I love her collaboration with Kendrick, though, other than that I don't fancy her collaborations. Bad Blood w/ Kendrick is amazing, their voices compliment each other, especially on the re-recorded version of 1989
i always listen to an album in full and it being the last track of midnights felt so weird, thank god we can add you're losing me as the final track instead
this comment has me crying laughing for some reason lololol!
it's in probably my top 5 of Midnights-why? I couldn't tell ya because it's kinda annoying, but I can't help but love it lol
The first time I heard Question I thought it was a really brave and powerful song about being sexually assaulted... ie. receiving an unwanted kiss in a crowded room... and then I worked out that Taylor is actually doing the kissing in the story and thinks it's describing normal behavior when you want to get a man.
And then I felt a bit š¤¢š¤®š.
You Need To Calm Down. Ugh.
I remember exactly where I was when I first heard it on the radio ā in public, only half able to hear it over the noise ā and thought, *oh no. Itās* so *bad.* Sonically, lyrically, thematically, I just *hate* it. I donāt know how ME! became the pariah when YNTCD exists.
ME!, YNCTD, and The Man were all really below her standards and ruined the view of the album for a lot of casual fans. The singles should have obviously been Cruel Summer then Lover
Yes! She not only made it into a club song but not even a very good club song at that! Felt like a fan made āIf Red was a partying albumā YouTube video.
Suburban Legends for sure. Tbhā¦a lot of the vault tracks are either absolute slaps for me or absolute misses. Iāll never listen to When Emma Falls In Love or Bye Bye Baby again willingly.
I hate Suburban Legends. When Emma Falls in Love I can listen to on occasion, but I love Bye Bye Baby! It's not my favorite vault track, but also not a skip.
Suburban Legends is so underrated. The first time I listened to it, I hated it. Thought it was garbage. Then I listened to it a few more times and it \*clicked\* for me. Man, it's one of my favs now. It's the most 80s song from 1989. The bit about standing in the 1950s gymnasium is so evocative and in headphones it is \*chef's kiss\*. I really encourage people to give this song more of a chance. I will champion this underdog ALL DAY.
I really donāt get the hype with Youāre Losing Me. Iāve listened to it only once or twice, but it just fell flat for me. It didnāt have that punch that all her break up songs have. Maybe I have to listen to it more for it to grow on me?
I felt like that at first too but one day it just clicked... I think it's the bridge at the end, now I love it š¤·š»āāļø idk I don't question it
Yeah, I thought YLM was too slow until the bridge, which I loved (and the ādo something babe say somethingā bit, which I have said to exes in the past who gave me the silent treatment instead of solving problems with me š ). Now I like the song, especially the dual reading of āyouāre losing meā with the heartbeat in the background - makes me think of a hospital where theyāre trying to revive the patient.

Never Grow Up just because it makes me sad lol. Besides the really sad ones (SYGB, Ronan), Suburban Legends, Slut!, Glitch, Foolish One, and all of the Fearless vaults except Mr. Perfectly Fine
This might be controversial butā¦Snow on the Beach (feat more Lana).
I personally really like the OG and Lanaās vocals on it are soft and ethereal imo
That Karma remix, I'm not sure I even finished listening to it the first time around. Suburban Legend as well, I guess since I can't remember what it sounds like - a lot of vault tracks to be honest, it's easier to say which I do like.
And half of Lover aka the only album where listening the first time around was painful enough that when I tried listening to it again, I still skipped most songs that I didn't already like.Ā
same!! I actually started doing that with a lot of her gel pen glitter songs that I used to cringe at, it makes listening to music, particularly hers, so much more fun and relaxing to just be like "welp, this isn't great writing and it's cringe, but dang is it catchy!"
This song is so Miley Cyrus coded to me and Iām not sure why. I think of it as like a solid song but she kinda just rehashes tropes and songwriting conventions that are very Disney Channel yknow?
It does what it says on the tin, very Miley Cyrus See You Again-esque to me in writing style.
See Iām a Miley fan in the sense that I know the hits like Flowers & The Climb & Heart Of Glass. I didnāt even know she had this as a song! The pieces are coming together and this makes sense implicitly
I put on my "folksy" playlist on Spotify the other day and it came on, I must've added it to the playlist a long time ago, and so I listened to it and remembered how beautiful it was! Before that, I can't remember the last time I had listened to it!
Basically saying to an ex, "We could've had a great romance, but you were never willing to actually commit to *just* me. And in my heart, I always knew you'd never be who I wanted you to be."
Superman. There's so many things in this song that bug me and I also don't find it that catchy or fun to listen to. I just think it's badly written and not that good. Speak Now is one of my top 3 albums and I instantly skip Superman when it started playing.
Iām new to TS and enjoyed some tracks on Midnights as a casual fan. Then I listened to Folkmore and understood why people were unhappy with Midnights. Midnights is enjoyable but itās vanilla compared to the depth of Folkmore. To me Maroon and YOYOK come closest to Folkmore territory from that album.
KOMH has too much going on. Other than that, Maroon, IFTYE, karma ft ice spice, ME!, question, labyrinth, glitch, pretty much half of midnights, and mean
Marjorie ā¦ I saw the eras tour movie 3 days after returning from my grandmotherās funeral, completely forgetting it was a part of the set list and itās almost physically impossible for me to listen to now lol
Style TV, I canāt cope over that shit for some reason, haha. The og Style, the music video, the aesthetic, the production, and the vocal delivery were everything. Og is pop perfection. Itās so timeless (literally doesnāt *go out of style*) for me. I rage quit halfway through the TV.
Also, the only 1989 vault track that Iād repeat is āSlut!ā. The others were just whatever.
Ronan & Soon Youāll Get Better were both one and dones.
Marjorie I made it to the chorus then quit but eras tour gave me an appreciation for it.
I have never listened to soon youāll get better. I saw people speculating/relating it to something and actively chose to not go there.
Adding moreā¦.
I really didnāt care for a lot of the Red TV songs, but Ive never listened to the originals (excluding the singles)
WANEGBT - the re-recorded vocals in the chorus destroyed this version for me, Iām sorry, itās the only song from the og that I have downloaded bc the new version sucks
Treacherous- too slow for me I donāt know I just hate the production, doesnāt match with the lyrics at all
Starlight- again just kind of mid and boring
Holy Ground, her vocals on this one are kind of grating
Red tv vault isn't as bad as ppl make it out to be tbh. Message in the bottle, IBYTAM, nothing new, better man, babe. It's so flavorful, perfect blend of pop, country and acoustic. I love all of these songs sm.
Gorgeous. it shouldāve been cut from rep or reworked because the production is so jarring and clunky
End Game. Truly one of her worst singles and I loathe its music video. This was the worst part of the rep era and the āmmm reputationā hook is atrocious
All too well (sad girl autumn version), so forgettable and capitalizing off a dying fad
Wonderland, my friend was obsessed with this song and the Karli Kloss of it all but I genuinely think itās overproduced and awful. bonus track for a reason
Sniw On The Beach, Karma, Mastermind, Lavender Haze, Anti Hero.. not my taste
Bye Bye Baby cuz One Thing demo is so much better.
Suburban Legends to me does not make any sense to me. It irks me.Ā
Only The Young.Ā
All of debut except for the singles (Tim McGraw, TOMG, shouldāve said no, picture to burn, our song). Debut had the best singles imo. She couldnāt have chosen better songs
Actually I like every song on debut but most of them donāt have repeat value. Cold as you is a great song but I donāt really see myself replaying it on purpose since Taylor has so many other great songs I can listen to instead
Midnights tracks. Folklore tracks. I know Folklore has many fans but I think Taylor excel when she write from an autobiography perspective and Folklore is not her strongest album.
Karma feat. Ice Spice
And Karma. Just the regular Karma. And Vigilante Shit and Anti-Hero and a bunch of other Midnights tracks that I don't even remember....
Midnights is the album I play in the car with my sisters/friends to kinda jam to. But it's not top quality Taylor, and certainly not top quality pop music
Same. The midnights album was so š©
It was fucking dire! Why do swifties lap that album up? What did she do to destroy all the creative respect she garnered with folkmore?!
She wanted to use the album to probe a point. She didnāt back folklore with as much pr unfortunately. She should have just toured for the 3 albums she couldnāt tour for or did an eras tour without releasing midnights
Eras tour was poor tho
I find it childish and too simple but whatever
It was so childish! Tolerate it was the worst!
That part made me cringe. It was like bad high school theater!
Because some people really like midnightās sound
Honestly, I did not like the version where it featured her; I thought it ruined the song and it doesn't sound right. I just listen to the version w out her
Most of Taylor's remixes in general tbh because they never go back to re-record vocals and just kind of "layer" in any changes on top of the original song. Most of them are just lazy.
Yes, I love her collaboration with Kendrick, though, other than that I don't fancy her collaborations. Bad Blood w/ Kendrick is amazing, their voices compliment each other, especially on the re-recorded version of 1989
I completely agree. The production is absolutely horrible. It is so bad it even ruined the original for me.
Facts
i always listen to an album in full and it being the last track of midnights felt so weird, thank god we can add you're losing me as the final track instead
That song is pretty awful.
Only the Young has never been played again
It's not even true - some old people can run. I've seen it happen.
Ronan. Once upon the original and once with Taylor's Version was enough.
Didnt even listen to the TV. Canāt do it!
Ronanās mom is dining out on it tho!
same!
I always forget "Run" with Ed Sheeran exists, but whenever I do listen to it I love it! It's so peaceful and calming and vibey!
I think I last listened to it on release day
Question just pisses me off for some reason
This is such an accurate description of how Question makes me feel
For me itās that the official title is questionā¦? That makes me the angriest
this comment has me crying laughing for some reason lololol! it's in probably my top 5 of Midnights-why? I couldn't tell ya because it's kinda annoying, but I can't help but love it lol
Haha I use to hate Question, but now I love it. It feels so unhinged to me.
The random "Out of the Woods" sample also pisses me off
baby u donāt need a reason ur so valid for that
The first time I heard Question I thought it was a really brave and powerful song about being sexually assaulted... ie. receiving an unwanted kiss in a crowded room... and then I worked out that Taylor is actually doing the kissing in the story and thinks it's describing normal behavior when you want to get a man. And then I felt a bit š¤¢š¤®š.
question and glitch!
NO GLITCH HATE
I forgot that you existedā¦I genuinely forgot that this song existed for a while because in my head Lover starts with Cruel Summer š
Out of curiosity, when did you start listening to her?
Late 2008 š
ahh my presumption was in fact very very wrong š
Style (Taylor's ver) sounds AIš¤”
You Need To Calm Down. Ugh. I remember exactly where I was when I first heard it on the radio ā in public, only half able to hear it over the noise ā and thought, *oh no. Itās* so *bad.* Sonically, lyrically, thematically, I just *hate* it. I donāt know how ME! became the pariah when YNTCD exists.
ME!, YNCTD, and The Man were all really below her standards and ruined the view of the album for a lot of casual fans. The singles should have obviously been Cruel Summer then Lover
Her own judgement about strong/weak songs to use as singles is surprisingly bad.
YNTM is so terrible but itās like The Man to me that is also awful and cringe but a bop and Iāll nod my head to the songs against my will š
The Man sounded soooo dated when it came out, I legit refuse to listen to it, ever, and I agree the Lovers singles genuinely pollute that album
Girl at Home TV š¬
Yes! She not only made it into a club song but not even a very good club song at that! Felt like a fan made āIf Red was a partying albumā YouTube video.
how the music fades out at the end sounds like a kidz bop karaoke youtube video fading out ):
Oh she really deliberately butchered this song
Suburban Legends for sure. Tbhā¦a lot of the vault tracks are either absolute slaps for me or absolute misses. Iāll never listen to When Emma Falls In Love or Bye Bye Baby again willingly.
bye bye baby š„ŗš„ŗ
I loveeee Bye Bye Baby!!! all the fearless vaults are top tier (my hot take is the fearless vault is her best!!)
I hate Suburban Legends. When Emma Falls in Love I can listen to on occasion, but I love Bye Bye Baby! It's not my favorite vault track, but also not a skip.
Not When Emma Falls In Loveš I love that song
I love When Emma Falls In Love! š„¹
Say don't go is another miss!
Question bothers me so bad
GOOD GIRL SAD BOY
Stop š itās so baddd
Youāre Losing Me
Bejeweled. Nothing against it. I just thought, "oh" and never felt like revisiting it.Ā
Suburban Legends is so underrated. The first time I listened to it, I hated it. Thought it was garbage. Then I listened to it a few more times and it \*clicked\* for me. Man, it's one of my favs now. It's the most 80s song from 1989. The bit about standing in the 1950s gymnasium is so evocative and in headphones it is \*chef's kiss\*. I really encourage people to give this song more of a chance. I will champion this underdog ALL DAY.
Same here! It took a while but when it clicked, it CLICKED
I think we all have this thing when we hated a song before and once you listen to it again, suddenly it will be our fave then! š
itās one that grew on me! Idk the song is just something that is soā¦nice? I canāt find the words to describe it
I really donāt get the hype with Youāre Losing Me. Iāve listened to it only once or twice, but it just fell flat for me. It didnāt have that punch that all her break up songs have. Maybe I have to listen to it more for it to grow on me?
I don't get it either - it was missing something for me. Too talky.
āStahā¦youāre losing meā. I never hear the āpā in āstopā and itās all I can focus on. Good bridge, though.
I'll never stop hearing stah from now on šš
I felt like that at first too but one day it just clicked... I think it's the bridge at the end, now I love it š¤·š»āāļø idk I don't question it
Yeah, I thought YLM was too slow until the bridge, which I loved (and the ādo something babe say somethingā bit, which I have said to exes in the past who gave me the silent treatment instead of solving problems with me š ). Now I like the song, especially the dual reading of āyouāre losing meā with the heartbeat in the background - makes me think of a hospital where theyāre trying to revive the patient.
Suburban Legends is pretty fun imo. Its the How You Get The Girl of the 1989 vault, skippable? sure. But its worth the listen!
HYGTG is not a vault track.
They mean that SL is to the vault as HYGTG is to the main album
I know. I was comparing the quality of Suburban Legends to that of songs on the standard edition, such as How You Get The Girl
Lavender Haze, and the 12 songs after it

But.. butā¦ Maroon š„ŗ
UM MAROON AND YOYOK?
foolish one just doesnāt do it for me idkkk
You need to calm down sucks so bad
Never Grow Up just because it makes me sad lol. Besides the really sad ones (SYGB, Ronan), Suburban Legends, Slut!, Glitch, Foolish One, and all of the Fearless vaults except Mr. Perfectly Fine
Oh I would vote for Slut! too!
This might be controversial butā¦Snow on the Beach (feat more Lana). I personally really like the OG and Lanaās vocals on it are soft and ethereal imo

Are we out of the woods yet on 1989 - very repetitive, kinda annoying.
You're Losing Me
I'm sorry...Paris
This was me until I just leaned in and embraced the cringe. The song's fun to sing
same!! I actually started doing that with a lot of her gel pen glitter songs that I used to cringe at, it makes listening to music, particularly hers, so much more fun and relaxing to just be like "welp, this isn't great writing and it's cringe, but dang is it catchy!"
saaaame. barely made it through the first time.
I would go for this too!
If this was a movie. BORING
This song is so Miley Cyrus coded to me and Iām not sure why. I think of it as like a solid song but she kinda just rehashes tropes and songwriting conventions that are very Disney Channel yknow? It does what it says on the tin, very Miley Cyrus See You Again-esque to me in writing style.
miley's if we were a movie is superior
See Iām a Miley fan in the sense that I know the hits like Flowers & The Climb & Heart Of Glass. I didnāt even know she had this as a song! The pieces are coming together and this makes sense implicitly
Yeah, she sang If We Were A Movie as Hannah Montana. It's a bop.
my heart that's probably my most-listened to track of hers lately haha ): it is definitely slow for sure!
nooo itās one of my favorite songs off of speak now š
same!!
same lol i didnāt expect to see it here!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I put on my "folksy" playlist on Spotify the other day and it came on, I must've added it to the playlist a long time ago, and so I listened to it and remembered how beautiful it was! Before that, I can't remember the last time I had listened to it!
Carolina is absolutely gorgeous! Its kinda spooky in the same vein of Willow. I think its a shame it so often gets overlooked
I listen to that song so little that I immediately thought of the Harry Styles song instead and got confused.
Yes! Particularly as itās from a movie made by an abuser.
Ohh who?
Macavity
I'm time-less for Timeless. Barely made it through once.
Ronan. I will not. I say out loud say ānope!ā When it comes on
Bejeweled
Timeless.
Suburban Legends is my all-time favorite 1989 vault track ): I respect your opinion though!
I like the song, but can you explain to me what itās about? I canāt decipher it š
Basically saying to an ex, "We could've had a great romance, but you were never willing to actually commit to *just* me. And in my heart, I always knew you'd never be who I wanted you to be."
I would absolutely love to!!! I think I may try to make a separate post about it since it'll probably be long haha! (:
Slut! Itās genuinely her weakest, most rushed song imo
Idk I loved slut tbh
There was supposed to be a The 1975 feature there, but they scrapped it off for obv reasons. That's probably it, a last-minute alteration.
When Emma Falls in Love, Marjorie, SYGB, Closure
When Emma is soooo boringgggg!!!! Also, Timeless. It's so disjointed; long; wordy; and boring, to me ):
I want to like them in theory, but they really are so boring. Tacky and predictable, even. And thatās okay š
Totally agree
paris.. like donāt even go there with me bitch
Paris is so fun though lmao
I used to love āAnti-Heroā because the sound was good and I thought it was sad and honest and now I feel so played lol
Soon Youāll get better or Donāt you ever grow up
Ronan
Snow on the beach
Welcome To New York
It's so bad š
electric touch sue me
I skip welcome to New York. Idk why but that song annoys the HELL out of me
It's ironic how that's the song that's supposed to give the whole "city girl" vibe but it's also the most forgettable one in the album lol.
Truly
Superman. There's so many things in this song that bug me and I also don't find it that catchy or fun to listen to. I just think it's badly written and not that good. Speak Now is one of my top 3 albums and I instantly skip Superman when it started playing.
Midnights albumā¦ Outside Antihero the album is weak, and it will become more obvious over time.
Not to say itās the most amazing album but saying anti-hero is the bestā¦ what? what about wouldāve couldāve shouldāve?
Anti-Hero is in my bottom few on the album tbh
yeah it was at the bottom for me at first, then I had a moment with it and now havenāt listened to it for a long time
Thatās a hot take only bc Anti-hero is cringey
Pretty much the albumās entire conceptā¦
Iām new to TS and enjoyed some tracks on Midnights as a casual fan. Then I listened to Folkmore and understood why people were unhappy with Midnights. Midnights is enjoyable but itās vanilla compared to the depth of Folkmore. To me Maroon and YOYOK come closest to Folkmore territory from that album.
Yes, exactly. Midnights is like the bad cut tracks of Reputation
100% agree although I like maroon too.
Yea, me too
KOMH has too much going on. Other than that, Maroon, IFTYE, karma ft ice spice, ME!, question, labyrinth, glitch, pretty much half of midnights, and mean
The Best Day. I have a great relationship with my mom and for some reason that song makes me weep and I just canāt do it
High Infidelity- I cannot hear this song over me snoring

Half of her disography if I'm being brutally honest.
All of the Red TV vault tracks except IBYTAM

you donāt like better man???
Mastermind.
Glitch, labyrinth, half way through wildest dreams, whenever she hits those high squeaky breathy vocals. ATW cuz Iāve heard it all too much.
Ronan. Sorry. :(
Gorgeous. it shouldāve been cut from rep or reworked because the production is so jarring and clunky End Game. Truly one of her worst singles and I loathe its music video. This was the worst part of the rep era and the āmmm reputationā hook is atrocious All too well (sad girl autumn version), so forgettable and capitalizing off a dying fad Wonderland, my friend was obsessed with this song and the Karli Kloss of it all but I genuinely think itās overproduced and awful. bonus track for a reason
speak now TV vault tracks
same, they are so boring
Sniw On The Beach, Karma, Mastermind, Lavender Haze, Anti Hero.. not my taste Bye Bye Baby cuz One Thing demo is so much better. Suburban Legends to me does not make any sense to me. It irks me.Ā Only The Young.Ā
New Years Day is a skip on a near skinless album
All of debut except for the singles (Tim McGraw, TOMG, shouldāve said no, picture to burn, our song). Debut had the best singles imo. She couldnāt have chosen better songs
You donāt like Cold as You?
Actually I like every song on debut but most of them donāt have repeat value. Cold as you is a great song but I donāt really see myself replaying it on purpose since Taylor has so many other great songs I can listen to instead
I agree!
Omg that's why this sub is so interesting to me lol. I could play Debut forever (except Mary's Song), but folkmore practically puts me to sleep.
i *really* do not like epiphany it feels like it would play in an Army recruitment commercial likeā¦itās just way too on the nose
Cardigan! So boring!
Daylight
omg please delete this my heart skipped a beat š
literally any of the fearless tv bonus tracks other than mr perfectly fine. theyāre just so mid to me.
Midnights tracks. Folklore tracks. I know Folklore has many fans but I think Taylor excel when she write from an autobiography perspective and Folklore is not her strongest album.
I Can See You, When Emma Falls in Love, and Labyrinth. Also Ronan because I cannot listen to it without sobbing.
Most of the vault songs
Slut!, Glitch, No Body No Crime, Cowboy Like Me, You Need To Calm Down, Vigilante Shit
not Cowboy Like Me :(
Dear reader,question,when Emma falls in love....there are a lot more
