MIDNIGHTS ALBUM REACTION (EARLY RELEASE) ~ 13 Sleepless Nights ~Swiftie Conversion Ep. ♾️ 🎵

Comments

sorry. double post in the wrong thread. =- OMG. just rewatched this and caught the 2190 days "fuck now I have to do research". and then the systematic googling/sleuthing and then the look you gave when you got the payoff". Welcome to being a Swiftie. Start making your Yarn Board, cause its ALL connected.

TopTierTaylor

what??! Omg wait I’ve never heard this!

Izzy ca

I think Vigilante Shit is about the DJ guy who SA’d her?

Jody Murray

Oh god…”That’s a real LASTING legacy to leave” is cringey after the real version 😂 I’d never heard the clean version before this hahaha

Jody Murray

Mastermind is about the fans, and I love it so much. She does it all for us. ❤️ She uses romantic relationships as metaphors for other things a lot.

Maggie

I’m glad they weren’t all the clean version. And I can’t wait for you to see/hear the Anti Hero video. I could only watch about 5 seconds of that version. 😅 This is definitely a breakup album. Maybe half of the songs are about other situations from the past, but half are about Joe, and several of the others are about an old flame that has reunited during this time period. I’m just going to go ahead and put it out there, it’s Matty Healy from The 1975. You will hear A LOT about the fallout of that situation on TTPD. We’ll never know if she actually cheated but as she says in Labyrinth, “oh no, I’m falling in love again.” Labyrinth is about her relationship with Joe being dead and immediately falling for someone else,” hmm hmm… Matty. She briefly dated Matty a decade ago, but it ended quickly in part due to his heroine addiction. She carried a flame for him the entire time. She confirmed on TTPD that Maroon is about him. It’s good to remember that Taylor is constantly writing, so these albums include songs that might span a few years. A lot of people describe TTPD as stages of grief, but I think that could be said for several of her albums. And the stages aren’t in order so it can give you a little whiplash when trying to figure out what’s going on. It’s honestly easiest when you get to the next album and then you look back at the previous one and you’re like, “oh, I see.” 😅

Maggie

Hi! I actually didn’t know and was kinda lost trying to find the right versions because there were so many. I definitely do care LOL, I’m sorry you feel that I don’t. I have some people helping me with the new videos for this reason! 💐

Izzy ca

You didn't even bother to do the right songs..I assume you dont really care.

Sarah Barker

Just wait until you get to ttpd…it’s crazy, it’s messy and emotional and that’s what she was experiencing after the Joe and Matty of it all. If you love the lyricism of Midnights, you’re not prepared for ttpd! I can’t wait for more happy Taylor in The Life of a Showgirl!

Erin Smith

Aahhh noooo you listened to the clean version of maroon 😭 The explixit version of maroon is my absolute favourite from this album. Plz listen to that as well if you havent already.

HedaAna

the eras tour vigilante performance is gonna have you GAGGED

madison

It was jarring! Lol

Erin Smith

The clean version totally caught me off guard.

Mike Bizzle

Lesbian confirming your take 100% 😂 I was like, suddenly it’s exceedingly hot in here. Izzy’s take of the song was right on, so I’m excited for her to see that video!!

Rayve

I was thinking it might be about Lautner.

Michele

Yeah. I caught that too. I don't like this version of Anti-hero.

Michele

This was fun to watch. I'm glad you liked it. I really wasn't sure how you'd take it. This basic "theme" of this album was the things that would keep her up at midnight, thinking about. Not a breakup album. Not a love album. It covers several types. So some of the songs are from before Joe. Things and relationships before him. I do think Joe was a safe and soft place for her. But he wasn't the sort to want to go out and have fun and live a vibrant life. He's more of a sort to want to stay home or maybe go to a play or orchestra concert. Her mind is very vibrant and she needs more zest in her life to be happy, I think.

Michele

And echoes of Scooter/Scott bullshit. "I can reclaim the land" @TV

Helen W

And then watch the music videos

Jon Schermann

when midnights first released, a lot of people thought it might have been about when she had been dating calvin harris and then went to the met gala and danced with tom hiddleston and was also seen with joe there too. this song also brought us the meme: "he didn't let her bejeweled" lol

jemimaaa

if you ever wanted to do lana album reactions i'd be so here for that omg

jemimaaa

whoever put that youtube playlist together needs to go to JAIL like whats with the mix of clean/explicit and the ranom anti-hero remix instead of the original LMAO i mean i guess thats kinda fun and different cause you heard original anti-hero in your first tay reaction video

jemimaaa

the clean version of lavender haze took me off guard LOL

jemimaaa

RAHHHH so excited to watch thissss

jemimaaa

💙

Ian Hillan

We like you…don’t care what version. We just want you to get the best one ♥️

Steve Turner

i say some of this in jest, but honestly, izzy, i was thinking about you as i drove home from the grocery tonight listening to tortured poets, and wondering if this was all ok for your well being! you are doing a mad dash, drink through a fire hose album tour. it took me 9 months to process and stop playing ttpd every day, and i already knew the rest of taylor's discography. idk how you listen to lover, midnights, red, ttpd, watch videos, try to learn the lore, and keep your sanity!! if you need a day or two off to let your brain reset, take it. especially with the really lyrically heavy parts of red and ttpd. just know that with every album, you will fall more deeply in love with taylor. i love seeing you start to care about her as a person and have empathy for her struggles and mistreatment. that's the beauty of being a real swiftie. i'm glad you loved midnights. hope you buckled up for the three a.m. and til dawn and you're losing me additions

Mex

Question? starts by quoting from a song on 1989, so pretty sure that yes, she's thinking back about the main muse for that album, which you'll find out when you hit The Pop Bible

Ian Hillan

Omg I would LOVE to do a story time and…. It may or may not have been for a killer life plot change…. And a man 😟

Izzy ca

The swifties have spoken and told me that TTPD comes LAST, so after midnights I’m doing Red!!

Izzy ca

This was such fun to watch. You are SUCH a Swiftie! The way you’re connecting songs and eras and phrases and being BEJEWELED as an easter egg…..I love it! ONE OF US ONE OF US ONE OF US lmao I want to hear more about how you chose to move to Australia! Did you have an epically terrible horrible no good very bad day and that was it, you bought a ticket and left? (I am aware that I have aged myself, I care not, that children’s book is adorable!) Did you go for a job? For school? Not for a boy, I hope. You seem too badass to move across the world for a boy who hasn’t put a ring on it. What’s your lore? I’m sure the rest of us would love some storytime videos to get to know you better.

HiFelicia

Please tell me ttpd is next

Jodi turley

I think Midnight Rains more likely about someone she left behind in her hometown and not Joe. Just my take

Ian Hillan

It took me quite a few listens to really appreciate this album. It hits so hard though on the Eras Tour.

Huggabunchable

Lmao. And you managed to pick up some kind of weird AntiHero remix. Maybe I'll just wait til it's over before I make any more comments. I'm killing myself over here

Ian Hillan

Noooo. Not the clean version. That's a real fucking legacy, not lasting. Just sayin' I know you didn't know but you could go listen to the real versions of these if you want. 😁

Ian Hillan

I agree with what others are saying about a "breakdown" album, but I think you are right about this basically being her album processing the ending of her and Joe. Even though publicly they were together, it was dying a long slow death behind closed doors. I also think that the premise of the songs being about different sleepless nights throughout her life allowed her to explore and write about her current relationship under the guise of it possibly being about some other past relationship. She did the same thing with folklore, saying much of it was fiction but after TTPD there were a lot of clues that many songs which were supposedly fiction were not! You nailed it though that much of Midnights is Taylor in dgaf mode.

Jenn O

I LOVE GLITCH!! (HTHAZE did too )

Helen W

Ohhh mmyyyy gossshhh!!! It’s here and it’s too much!!! I gotta finish lover stuff first!!! You rock girl!

Kammy

Lol. Til dawn includes 3am. Midnight > 3am > Dawn 😁

Ian Hillan

Your reactions were hilarious and fun as always! This whole album but especially Bejeweled really reveals a lot about where she was in her relationship with Joe, even though they had not said anything publicly or indicated any problem yet when the album came out. In hindsight there are so many clues and breadcrumbs all the way back to folklore and even lover (you have been so perceptive about that in your reactions)! Anyway, I think Bejeweled was that moment when she's sick of being sad all the time and hiding in private and being lonely and neglected by Joe and was like, I'm done with this shit time to shine again!

Jenn O

Yeah for the explicit version! lol. I love midnights - for some reason I get the image of a bumble bee zipping around an enclosure. Up, down, left, right... rest... ZOOM. A couple future thoughts when you're through everything you want to consume....1) you mentioned it in this reaction, and it's something I've wondered/marveled at: the different KIND of voice/sound Taylor chooses to use. It could be fun to id songs across the albums that highlight that diversity. You're a singer - I'm not - how does one MAKE your voice shift like that? :-) 2. Again, once you're done, reviewing the albums in sequence - with all the Taylore you've learned, as well as you're own experience listening/relistening and wondering - what themes do you see, lyrically? What's the growth - in her voice, in production, in themes, lyricism. Because, yes, taylore is baked in... But what is it to simply *hah* think about the albums as text - independent from their history (Is that possible?) Just rambling...!

Helen W

it keeps throwing me off because the explicit lyrics are on the video because they're literally the official lyric videos? and she's not noticing the difference so maybe she edited them for youtube? i'm only on maroon right now so maybe she says something lol edit: i take it back, SOTB was normal. who the hell put that playlist together?! lol

Neumann

Apparently jack antonoff’s hatred for joe remix 💀💀

Izzy ca

I always forget how much I like Midnights until I hear it again. I love it!

Ari

AND, don't forget to rewatch the last 5 or so minutes of Miss Americana and what her 13-year old self said to herself....

Helen W

no reactor ever gives glitch (one of the 3am tracks) the love it deserves and i have a feeling you will LOVE it..im so ready!

ashlyn kidd

Hmm... You might want to check the version you're listening to... The "real" midnights is explicit. (Check out Maroon again....) :-)

Helen W

I'm at work so I can't watch this yet but you know I'll be devouring it with as much appetite as it sounds like you did Midnights. This album made me a Swiftie, so yeah. 'til Dawn is fantastic. Can't wait!

Ian Hillan

I have no idea what that antihero remix thing was. I’ve never heard that before. It’s awful. Listen to the original. I knew you’d love midnights, it’s a favorite of mine too!

Laurel

Oh girl, somehow you got a hold of the clean version! No

Laurel

This album again was released mostly when they were still together, but it’s not exactlyy a breakup album. It’s more specifically a breakdown album!! Like it’s like, they’ve been together so long and over time the hints and cracks were there obviously throughout the albums which we all see now, but this album in particularly really hits that spot of like, processing that the relationship is going to end and that reaches its peak when you get to the last vault track You’re Losing Me after the 3 AM edition!! It will really tie it all up together and yeah. The songs on Midnights can be interpreted in so many different ways but for me I think that not every song is about Joe, but you can think of them in a way that it connects.. The best way I find is to realize that she’s exploring her past relationships and what happened in them in these midnights throughout her life when she can’t sleep because she is so troubled by her current relationship with Joe and trying to figure out what went wrong by using her past experiences. But the main topics of songs such as Maroon, Midnight Rain, Question, etc. aren’t focused on Joe and we kinda knew that since the album dropped but speculation about who each is always kinda rotates and is debated depending on who you ask. I.E. I feel Question…? is definitely about Harry Styles because the 1989 vault tracks have strong correlations and add up to what we know about their relationship, not to mention it samples the first “I remember” you hear from a song ON 1989. Midnight Rain could be attributed to Hiddleston, or even someone from when she was much younger and still went to high school/in her hometown that she left behind for her career, could even not be about anyone in particular. Maroon I have heard and seen sooo many theories about who it could be. At the end of the day it doesn’t matter particularly but sometimes it does help, but definitely don’t think about those songs to be centered on the Joe relationship bc that kinda messed with the actual songs about him and it makes more sense to understand if those don’t get mixed up basically 😭 I mean that in the best way bc I’d love for you to fully fathom the feelings she has bc it really makes the songs have the best impact, at least imo, and I want you to enjoy that!! So happy to finally get to this album!! Super excited for you to do Speak Now Red and 1989 in particular also because those carry so much weight I feel in understanding songs on Midnights as well as the Taylor Cinematic Universe Taylore 😆😆

Eternal Skies

I like to think of this album not as a breakup album, but a breakdown album. She was clearly going through it, figuring out how to be the Taylor Swift in a relationship that had run its course and felt like a cage, while pondering an escape and being confused about the potential of a relationship she’d wondered about for years.

LindseyMarie

ME being here to comment on the clean version

Coral

wait which anti hero version is that :D

Martina Teich

Also! Don’t forget to add “You’re Losing Me” to your 3am/Til Dawn Edition reaction! It was released alone as a “vault” track much later on, but she wrote it around the same time as all of the Midnights songs.

Stevie Penelope

Taylor’s writing style and tongue-in-cheek humor is fascinating to me but I really started to “get” it once I heard her speech from when she was awarded songwriter of the decade at the Nashville Songwriter Awards a couple of years ago. I don’t want to give away what she talks about but she explains how her songs can be categorized based on each song’s style of lyrics. I also think you would enjoy the NYU speech but I get that it’s a bit long. The one I’m suggesting is a bit shorter though so 🤷🏻‍♀️ just thought I’d suggest it because of how you mentioned feeling in this reaction going from songs like Labyrinth to Karma, etc.

Stevie Penelope

Is that what that was? I didn’t like it. Well… it’s not horrid but when you expect the original it sounds crazy

Lori Horton

Noooo not the clean version! I had never heard the clean version of the Maroon bridge. I’m sure you’ll hear it, but the HARD K she uses when she says “That’s a real F*cKing legacy to leave” is the best part of the song

Lori Horton

Vigilante Shit is SUCH a vibe. You will die dead at the Eras performance. As a queer woman, I forget to breathe every time I watch it (I promise, I am looking SO respectfully!! And I'm not a gaylor, just a gay person who's a huge fan of her art no matter who the muses are.) But even people who aren't attracted to women at all kinda get flustered at it because it's just THAT kinda performance. It took a minute for me to warm up to Midnights as a whole album but now I'm obsessed with it and totally think it deserved that fourth AOTY it got her.

DancingPhantoms23 (Carolyn)

"Lavender Haze" btw is an old school expression Taylor learned watching Mad Men. It's that "love bubble" of New Relationship Energy - truth is though, it's a kind of neurotransmitter induced intoxication. It's powerful & wonderful, but it's a vacation from reality. You *can't* stay there. Even if you don't have the whole damn world demanding to know when you're getting married.

Molly Cornelius

Me: totally waking up, rolling over & checking to see if this was posted yet to determine if I was awake yet.

Molly Cornelius

I'm watching YOYOK now, on the part where you talk about how heartbreaking these songs are after folklore and evermore... and I must say, you're not wrong whatsoever, but also BRACE YOURSELF for TTPD. It's devastating lol

DancingPhantoms23 (Carolyn)

Please Remember no spoilers y'all. Let Izzy hear the songs as they come!

Molly Cornelius

Yay!! It's so weird hearing the clean version for the first few songs but still such a good album regardless. I do agree with everyone here that Jack's version of anti-hero isn't great but I know you heard the original in your first reaction to the song. Love this reaction as always Izzy, can't wait for the next tracks from the extended versions! :)

DancingPhantoms23 (Carolyn)

Okay, most of them were. Just some different versions in the beginning. You're ok.

Molly Cornelius

Okay so in terms of the next recording: (maybe listen to the Explicit version of Maroon) (maybe listen to the original Antihero because you got a funny remix featuring Jack w different lyrics) THEN: 3AM Tracks THEN: Till Dawn Tracks THEN: You're Losing Me (a Midnights Vault Track which was released during the beginning of the Eras Tour after the breakup w Joe was public. The song was held back but recorded *months* earlier - Jack told us that info himself. Wonderful messy man!) THEN: collapse in a puddle. Maybe have some chocolate & a good cuddle. Confirmation you will want later that I will not explain now: If you think you hear an actual heartbeat at some point, you're not wrong.

Molly Cornelius

You’re on Your Own, Kid is her looking back on her career to up to that point. You may not get some of the references as of yet. It’s not about anybody in particular but self reflection.

Ryan D

So there are multiple people being sung about. Several songs are Joe songs, but absolutely not all of them. Lavender Haze is a Joe song. Maroon is not. Midnight Rain. A third person. And Taylor is also jumping around in the timeline of her life. The Lore takes some serious unpacking. An important note: Joe & Taylor wrote Sweet Nothings *together* so ... just noodle on that. Also, I am *delighted* that you loved Snow on the Beach & appreciated Lana's contribution, because a lot of listeners couldn't hear the differences in their voices or feel Lana's contributions so much so that they complained about it until Taylor got Lana back in the studio to rerecord the song in a different way! I love the original. I can hear both Taylor & Lana separately & blended. But Lana stans we're pissed that Lana didn't have a verse of her own & said Taylor was hogging the spotlight & intimidated by Lana's voice. All thoroughly ridiculous. Taylor didn't have to add anyone to the track if she didn't want to & Lana thought the verses sounded better & belonged in Taylor's voice. Anyway, Taylor aims to please, so there's another version coming up. There's also another version of Karma with a feature. I think both versions are delightful.

Molly Cornelius

sweet nothings may be related to her relationship with joe or what she wanted it to feel like, but she based the song on a story that paul mccartney told her about he and his wife. the "on the way home, i wrote a poem, you say what a mind, it happens all the time" is a direct interpolation of something mccartney had told taylor his wife had said to him. and sadly, in the end, joe really never wanted what she had to offer, so it really ended up as sweet nothing

Mex

Yes. and here's a bit of a hot take. She was in deep guilt because of her long time urning for a situationship with another while she was with Joe and (Super Hot Take) he wouldn't marry "a pathological people pleaser" BECAUSE he may have always thought that he was second best. Shit gets real when TTPD made us all aware that messy Tay while feeling Joe wasn't treating her the way she wanted...she wasn't 100% with him. When I hear Sweet Nothings I think its her self admitting that Joe was a good guy but just not the one for her and maybe some of his perpetual "blue" state was BECAUSE he knew he was not the one.

TopTierTaylor

I cannot wait for you to experience the poetry that is TTPD!!...and yeah, her Eras Tour performance of vigilante shit will make you 💦.

Kristi Alnas

midnights is the fathomings of all of the things that kept her up at night, the past relationships and hardships of the industry and the struggles to get where she is now. the realization that she and joe won't be forever. it's not the breakup album, it's the breakdown of the relationship album. she's realizing she's tired of being put in the basement, she has karma on her side, and she is ready to hit the stage lights and be bejeweled. vigilante shit third verse is about piece of shit scooter, and there is some debate about whether the second verse is about scooter's wife or kim k. both men got dumped by their wives and they looked good in their benz

Mex

Maroon is forever top 3 for me. Love it so damn much. But the clean version does not hit as hard. But please don’t ever play that abomination of the Anti-Hero remix again. 🤮🤮🤮 But do watch the MV. It’s actually funny.

Ryan D

I’ve been anticipating this one so much I’m almost afraid to watch. I’m going to do it anyway though, obviously 💙🌙

Libby

...the glitter in the Bejeweled lyrics video looked reeeeeeeeallly familiar!!! 👀 today's countdown is throwing me for a loop though 😂

Regina George

That would be so awesome 👌

Lizel

I think so too. I really don't think Joe can be described as "sunshine".

Lizel

It's Jack & The Bleachers 🙈

Lizel

GIRL IMA DIE WHEN YOU WATCH THE LIVE VERSION OF VIGILANTE SHIT

Ivy

Omg! Not me screaming "that's a real fucking legacy" over the clean version. And I TOTALLY forgot that there was a version of Anti-Hero ft The Bleachers 🫣😂😂😂

Lizel

Jeez idk what that version of anti hero that was but I had to skip that part cause it sounds terrible. Sad cause that's one of my favs

AllTooWill

So maroon isn't about Joe. We always thought it was but in ttpd we learn who it's really about.

AllTooWill

So weird to hear the censored versions.

Molly Cornelius

These aren't all the right versions...

Molly Cornelius

This is why we need a livestream for the tour. Just got to Vigilante Shit. We need to take a clip of your face in this react and then see the REAL reaction when you see it on Tour. It was a jaw dropper for everyone. Tay out there just causing sexual awakenings and conversions nightly.

TopTierTaylor

What a great video to wake up to my favorite album by my favorite creator💜 you give us so much content thank you for everything you do❤️

AllTooWill

And the BTS videos for it are 🤌🤌

BridgesNotBurned

Noo you need the uncensored versions! That's a real FUCKING LEGACY! Loving this reaction so much though. 💙

Kristi Alnas

Loooove this reaction. Midnight is that bitch and we love her. Pure speculation follows: I think she wasn't ready to let go of Joe yet even though it's pretty clear that they'd had problems for a long while and a lot of people think they'd been on and off for years. That's why she made up the whole "13 sleepless nights of past" ruse and most of us bought it back when Midnights was released. But the clues are there in the songs and so easy to see in hindsight. " Oh, you don't ever say too much. And you don't really read into. My melancholia" That is not a healthy, striving partnership, girl! And Bejeweled... Ouch man, you shoulda let our girl shimmer! Also, I think Labyrinth is about her falling for Matty while still in a dying relationship with Joe. I could go on and on, I have watched way too many theory videos and lyric breakdowns. :D

Appa

THIS IS CRUCIAL!!

Corey Deckard

"I'm not saying she's a cheater" Me snickering to myself.... Oh girl welcome to your Messy Tay awakening. "Do you really want to know where I was April 29th? (Quick turnaround easter egg for you). Me also snickering about a specific song thats waiting for you on TTPD, is it truly cheating if you are just thinking about it? Shits getting good now.

TopTierTaylor

Good news, I had time to shower before I got to thoroughly enjoy this video as soon as it dropped 🤪 Great way to start my day! Loved how much you loved each song…can’t wait for the rest! The bonus tracks are 🔥🔥👌🏻👌🏻

Anj Robinson

I think Mindnight Rain is supposed to be about Taylor Lautner- I could be wrong!

Meredith

When you listen to the 3 A.M and Till Dawn edition please don't forget to finish by adding You're Losing Me (from the vault).

Dylan

You hit the nail on the head about the album! It’s a break up album. Abouhow she was reclaiming herself! No more running and hiding with Joe, just sparkling and being herself, not allowing anyone to dull her shine!

Candace Flocks

Your On Your Own Kid is a gut punch and a lift! The evolution of her feelings on the “bridges burned” meaning from Castles Crumbling to Call It What You Want to Your On Your Own Kid is AMAZING! If you listen to those three songs in that order, I need to know your feelings on it! 😂

BridgesNotBurned

Watch the Anti-Heto music video. It’s so funny.

Catherine Seiwert

Wait till you watch her performance of Vigilante Shit on the Eras tour! It’s XXX rated! She looks to fucking gorgeous!

Candace Flocks

YOYOK also feels like a call back to her debut album as a whole. you will know when you listen to it!

Shrvya

Have never heard that Anti-Hero version before! Did not even know it existed! Definitely not my favorite.

Michelle

I think you are on point with all of these! 🧡

Candace Flocks

Your distaste for Joe, just warms the cockles of my heart! His pretentiousness and his actual refusal to EVER speak about Taylor made me always hate him! Do you know he refused to answer a reporter asked him what his favorite Taylor song was! He acted like he was so above her, that he didn’t know her music! Travis can and does list of a ton of his favorites! He even talked about loving the Tiny Desk version of Death by a Thousand Cuts! That’s why I love Travis for Taylor because he loves her so loudly and proudly!

Candace Flocks

Quick song guide: Lavender Haze -Taylor delusionally trying to hold onto what was good about her relationship with Joe despite him giving her NOTHING. Trying to convince herself she doesn’t care about marrying him like she begged to all over Llver Maroon: daydreaming about her brief fling with Matty Healy in 2014 Anti-Hero: feeling like the anti hero, more about herself and her relationship with fans than a man Snow on the Beach: Matty Healy reappearing in her life and her exploring her intrigue toward him YOYOK: Her life through vignettes, dealing with heartbreak and the fame and growth but always having herself and her music Midnight Rain: probably about dumping Tom Huddleston after a few weeks because he was too nice and she was in her career focused messy boss bitch era Question?…: Her flagging Matty Healy like hey remember when? Are you still obsessed with me like I am with you? Vigilante Shit: Taylor wanting to murder the men Scott (not her dad) and Scooter who stole her masters, gaslit her, and drag her name through the mud Bejeweled: Joe wasn’t treating her right and keeping her locked up inside so she was like BET I’m going out and being a star again and flirting with Matty Labyrinth: who fucking knows. Could be Matty or Joe Karma: fuck you to all the opps Sweet Nothing: trying to remember what was once good about being with Joe and being trapped in this isolation Mastermind: more about herself relationship with fans, “never been a natural all I do is try try” These are the common and most likely interpretations of the music by critical thinkers lol but there will be debaters I’m sure

💘

100% same. Once I realized it was the censored version I was like ...what is she going to say instead of nailing that F'ing Legacy. Was not ready for "lasting" kinda softly delivered. Way different vibe

TopTierTaylor

Maroon = Deeper / More Complicated RED = Passionate emotions (both good and bad)

TopTierTaylor

anyways MIDNIGHTS LETSGOOO

Bambs

Im sorry but the cesored versions are sending me LMAO

Bambs

loll he’s my spirit animal

Shrvya

ive never even heard the clean version maroon EVER why did she say “lasting” SHES SO FUNNY HELP ME 😭

Shrvya

WHAT????

Izzy ca

I listened to the explicit versions in real time so no worries I RELISHED IN THAT LINE 🤞🏼💐💐💐

Izzy ca

Babe I fear you listened to the wrong anti-hero😂😂!

anya ayers

Clean versions?! You gotta hear “that’s a real FUCKING legacy to leave” in Maroon! And that version of Anti Hero was the Jack Antonoff remix, it’s not the album version. Midnights is Taylor’s best album to listen to when ur gardening 💨🤘 but it’s 8am Monday for me so….. Amazing you picked up on the Red ➡️ Golden ➡️ Maroon pipeline 🫶 Maroon is absolutely a later iteration of the emotions she was talking about on Red and Lover.

Cocogigi

🥚🐣🫣😝

Izzy ca

OMG you’re listening to Jack’s version of Anti-Hero that disses Joe, post breakup ! Lol

Candace Flocks

OK BEJEWELED CODED NECKLACE TOO?

Shrvya

You listened to the clean version of Maroon, you NEED to listen to the explicit version! It makes the song a thousand times better. Btw Midnights is really and truly the breakup album for Joe! She only has like 2 songs about him on TTPD out of 31 songs! She was completely DONE with him by then!

Candace Flocks

SAT

Shrvya

SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP 😭😭😭 I adore Midnights so much! Everything 3am and Til Dawn are my absolute FAVORITES on the project, tbh. Don't forget to do You're Losing Me at the VERY END to wrap up the work. At first it was a track only available on the CDs sold at a specific Stadium on the Eras Tour. A YEAR later she released it on streaming, and not long after her and Joe's break up Jack Antonoff, aka Mr Messy 🤣, shared a pic of Taylor writing You're Losing Me and dropped the bomb that she wrote it in 2021...letting us know that her and Joe hadn't been ok for a while before the break up!

I LISTENED TO THE EXPLICIT ONE IN REAL TIME BUT I JUST USED A CENSORED AUDIO TRACK ON ACCIDENT RAHH, but it’s only censored for the first three songs and then it’s all explicit lyrics after 🤞🏼💐💐
