    She did it again. And what’s so brilliant about this record is that it revisits the sounds of two of her most misunderstood masterpieces - reputation and Lover, two records that have been overshadowed by the equal masterpieces of folklore/evermore.

It’s her darkest record since reputation, but sounds like the more subdued deepcut tracks from that 2017 gem. It has the sting and retrospection of reputation with the optimism and confidence of Lover. Taylor can truly do no wrong. Is this her best record? It’s impossible to tell because she has so many other masterpieces under her sleeve. Thank you Taylor for these gifts. You’ve given people music to help them through dark and confusing times. You’ve given inspiration to songwriters and artists alike. Forever grateful. Expand

    Wonderful, dark and fun album. Might not be a reinvention as Taylor has done before but definetly a perfection of many years of experiments and craftsmenship.

    It's undeniable, she's is the only pop artist that has been capable of overcome her highest success numbers. This is her purest piece of pop music, 1989, Rep and Lover with no skips

    I just love the whole album. I’m not a Taylor Swift fan, or wasn’t, but this album made me look her as never before. The album is very consistent, personal and rich. Lot of nuances in her voice. Anti-hero, you’re ok your own, kid, bejeweled and the Great War my personal favorites.

    Midnights is an experience, better with headphones and with the lights off. The far fetch production and Taylor´s vocals add to an album that has a variety of types of lyrics (from glitter gel pen to quill pen songs) in an almost perfect balance.

Midnights is the most intimate album in her body of work, and knowing all of her previous work, is saying something. Worth the time and worth the expectations, this album is going to be a classic in her discography, not only because of the records that is breaking in every single platform and in sales, but because it will be remembered as the child of two of her beloved works ("1989" and "reputation", and it can be the case of "folklore" in certain tracks) full of fun and introspective moments, heartache and fireworks. This is Taylor Swift, and artist who has never been afraid of changes and exploring new lands, and this is one of those projects that proves it, even if it's not something completely new, all of those individual and meticulous details in every song make this songs exciting and new.

    Taylor has come back with a beautiful departure from the dreamy tones of Folklore and Evermore. With songs like 'Vigilante **** reminiscent of her Reuptation era, and 'Karma' reminiscent of her lover era, this is a perfectly balanced album for all swifties.

    Long long ago (2010, to be precise) Taylor needed to prove to people that she was a great artist/songwriter, NOW her pieces of art speak for themselves in a smart and fun way. Effortlessly, this album makes me smile and dance like never before, with every song I connect with an artist that is already a legend.

    It's an album of masterfully made dark-pop confessions laced with glitter and aspiration — a purposely erratic project that mirrors her rushing thoughts. The high-gloss pop production defines Midnights as a somber sibling to Lover, her honey-dipped 2019 effort, rather than a sequel to 2020’s Folklore and Evermore.

    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.

    Midnigths é um conforto para os fãs que acompanham a Taylor desde o inicio de sua carreira, mas também um flerte com aqueles novos fãs que ela tanto tem ganhado em seus últimos trabalhos. Com uma pegada experimental de synt pop e eu diria que até o alternativo com faixas como Sweet Nothing, Taylor entregou um álbum coeso, forte e cheio de personalidade.

    Wild, beautiful, and dreamy pop. Poplor at her best for sure!

    There's a randomness to the lyrics that only people who dream vividly can pinpoint but Taylor takes that randomness and ties it back to a feeling, very evident in anti-hero. Made even better with the additional 7 songs on the 3am version.

    Really love this album.

    Taylor never fails to make a statement when it comes to what’s on her mind and in her heart. Midnights is the deepest look we’ve ever seen into Swift’s dark evening thoughts, the tempos and harmonies that fill empty spaces.

There are 21 tracks and by the end, for me upon first listen, songs blurred together, becoming monotonous, but that is a very wrong impression of what the album is like. My advice is to take the time to listen to and appreciate each song individually. Expand

A sonoridade do álbum nos leva a lugares nostálgicos, mas ao mesmo tempo novos, prontos para serem desbravados ou revisitados.

    Her return to synth-pop is a treat. While some current artists have attempted to take over the genre as she made a quick stopover in the alternative, singer-songwriter realm, Taylor shows us why she's the best in the industry as she easily and quietly takes back her crown. Standouts include Lavender Haze, lead single Anti-Hero, Karma, and Mastermind.

    Midnights is an instant classic. Highly recommend it to anyone!

    While everyone was waiting to find out what genre the record is in, she missed us with this creation. This is her most experimental sound she has ever created. The lyrics are also edgy and crazy. This is undoubtedly among her greatest bodies of work to date. It's fortunate for us that we share a time period with her. The 3am edition is just great!

    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.
