Midnights is underwhelming
October 28, 2022
Growing up, I’ve always been a huge Taylor Swift fan, so when I found out that she was releasing another album I was ecstatic. After she released her album on the 21st at midnight, it’s safe to say that I stayed up way past midnight to listen. Unfortunately, I was only met with disappointment.
Upon first listening, I’m not going to lie, I couldn’t really get through the album. I thought it was boring, so I didn’t end up really listening to the whole album. When I woke up I was pleasantly surprised by the 3 a.m tracks that were released. I decided it was time to give it a second chance. Yet again, it still was not what I was hoping for.
While I enjoyed some songs in the album such as: You’re On Your Own Kid and Lavender Haze. Some of the other songs didn’t quite match my expectations. I was expecting a different vibe than the pop album she gave us. Her songs were a little more depressing than I think most people were expecting.
Swift’s new album sounds like a mix of her past albums, Reputation and Lover. Although I really enjoyed her Reputation album, Lover wasn’t necessarily for me. Out of all of her albums, some of her older ones tend to be my favorites, such as Fearless and Red. Her album, Fearless (Taylor’s Version) is always on repeat whether I’m driving or studying.
Recently in Swift’s new albums, evermore and folklore, she seems to have a change in message. It seems that she’s trying to find herself in a new era.
Although I didn’t love her new album, this doesn’t disregard my love for her and her songs. Taylor Swift is definitely one of the most dominant songwriters of our generation. Her lyrics always have something that many people could relate to, and she always has a song for any mood you’re in.
Nevertheless, even with this new album not being my favorite, I will still continue to listen to Taylor Swift’s music whenever I have the chance.
