The deep voice on Midnight Rain is actually Taylor’s voice with effects.

Great reaction! I highly suggest doing the 3 AM songs as well as Til Dawn, both from Midnights. Some of the best in my opinion. TIL dawn has more Lana ☺️

The pauses and clarifications on the flower petals lyric was cracking me up 😂

Lavender Haze (3:11) Maroon (8:24) Anti Hero (13:41) Snow On The Beach (19:00) YOYOK (24:09) Midnight Rain (29:59) Question? (33:51) Vigilante Shit (39:05) Bejeweled (42:48) Labyrinth (48:17) Karma (53:33) Sweet Nothing (58:06) Mastermind (1:02:01)

Taylor has said she has 3 pen categories of writing styles, when she writes songs; Quill Pen Songs (Songs with lyrics that make you feel old fashioned, like a 19th century poet writing by candle light like - "Ivy" "Tolerate it" and "My tears Ricochet" ) Fountain Pen Songs (modern personal stories written like poetry where you can see every detail like - "champagne problems" "All to Well" and " Right Where you left me" ) Glitter Pen Songs (Songs that make you want to dance throwing glitter around, songs where you just have fun and don´t take youself too seriously like - "Bejewled" "You need to calm down" and "We are never Ever Getting Back Together" )

Midnights is legitimately a zero skips album. And i love the Til Dawn edition!

I think the divide on Midnights has a little to do with the fact that you have a big group of fans that started listening because of 1989 and love the pop stuff, and you have another big group that really dived in during Folklore and Evermore days, and they can dig Red a little, too. Personally I like it all, but I can see how if you have a strong preference for one style or the other, you either love Midnights or hate it. For me, Midnights is basically a perfect album - smart, evocative lyrics like Folklore and Evermore but with a more grown-up pop vibe than 1989.

Every Taylor era (album) has something different for different people and if you are a fan of her you just love the journey and the different sounds she plays with. Midnights is top tier for me as a fan. IF you decide to go down the rabbit hole, you should think about watching some performances too after you hear the song she is performing first.

I’m sorry but I cannot focus on the review because of how freaking adorable he is / sounds 😅

This was me a year ago when Midnights first dropped. I of course had heard her songs on the radio, and wrote her off as just another musician. Then I kept hearing all this hype about Midnights, so I figured it was time to grow up and realize that you can't judge something you've never given a chance. So I dove in, and I will never look back. 100% Swiftie forever.

There is also Snow on the beach ft MORE lana del rey :)

For "snow on the beach" ppl had the same thought as u did! They wanted Lana to have a verse and not just background vocals. So Taylor and Lana listened to the fans and recorded a version where Lana sings a verse and a chorus! Their voices blend so well together, its def the only version of that song that i listen to. Lana just elevates it so much.

Once again thank you all SO much for the support and all of these comments. I’ll continue reading every comment and taking suggestions! I will be doing another Taylor album in the future but I’ll keep it secret on which one it is 😮 as you might be able to tell I really enjoyed this one 🔥

After you listen to Folklore you need to watch the Long Pond Studio Session- she explains the motivations behind each song with either Jack or Aaron Dessner (whoever co-produced with her on that song), and they are stripped back a lot. It is a beautiful rendition but you would be missing the beautiful outros and more on that album if you only listen to that session. There is a reason Folklore won Album of the Year.

Glad you like the album. It’s actually one of the most streamed female albums of all times on Spotify and it’s a year a couple months old. She also broke the record for biggest album debut of all time and her lead single anti hero holds the record for biggest streaming debut of all time on Spotify she also took over the entire top 10 on the BBhot100 with this album. Her 10th and it’s one of her most successful of all time only behind 1989

The anticipation I had for this album was insane. I’m a reputation stan and I needed that pop sound again.

Go to the 3 AM edition and the version of that song which specifically says more Lana Del Rey, because she heard what the fan said, and went back into the studio and recorded a version which had another verse specifically for Lana

“Got me shaking my ass and shit” me too man 😂

And like others- do the 3AM version! The extra songs are great (but they don’t fit the album sonically so you understand why they weren’t included. One thing you need to know is her bonus songs are phenomenally generally- she makes sure if she is asking you to buy a Deluxe or extra album with more songs- she gives you something special. I think 2 of her best songs ever are on the 3AM version.

Nothing is better than a man who's able to appreciate new music and other artists. I'd love to see you react to Britney Spears' third album Britney. Bonus points for the cat at the beginning 😍😍 Midnights as an album is her going through oast relationships to help her try and understand where her then relationship with Joe Alwyn was heading now that she was reaching a new career peak.

You should watch the music videos for the songs on this album. She directs them too. Great reaction !!

I think that for Taylor the fact that he wanted “Sweet Nothin” from her was both good and bad. It was good for her to have a partner who wasn’t pressuring her for anything but she also wanted someone who showed her that he cared more obviously if you listen to “You’re Losing Me”. Edited to add: If you liked Midnights you should try Evermore before you go on to Folklore. Evermore is a great transition between the two.

Honestly, when you understand the Taylor Swift lore, history, and inspiration behind each album, it enhances the listening experience so much more. Like, 'midnights', for example. A concept album about 12 sleepless nights throughout her life. It's literally her diary, laid open for everyone to read. So vulnerable and poetic. Or 'reputation'. It was the ultimate clapback album, after all of the shit that went down with Kanye and Kim. '1989' was when she completely reinvented herself. Each album just perfectly tells the story of her life at that time. She's so real and honest, and I think that's what people who aren't truly familar with her music (and hate on her) don't understand.

Maroon is my favorite song and has a personal story/ theory behind it. Taylor wrote an album called Red about a love that was so passionate but toxic when she tought love was red because she related it to passion, desire, heartbeat but also with rage and anxiety. This album was dedicated to Jake Gyllenhal.She later wrote to Joe Alwyn (Her latest ex and with she was when she made this album) in an album called Lover that his love was golden. But later this song came out and it made me think that her relationship with Joe also was kinda red so she made it maroon, that is a shade of red and never in the song mentions the color red. As if she was trying to deny it but deep inside she knew that those emotions she felt with Jake was feeling with Joe. Its amazing if you think that everyone of us did that at some point like... ignoring certain things that hurt of the person we love but deep down knew it wasnt right.

Midnights is definitely my fave album by Taylor. And it made me a fan since the end of 2022 when the album was released. Also, Taylor LOVES cats. She has 3: Olivia, Meredith and Benjamin. They are so adorable!! And I just like that you appreciated not only the production, but the vocals and lyrics as well. I recommend paying attention to lyrics even more because Taylor is known for her lyricism. Thank you :))

Midnights is one of my favourites! i’ve loved it since it was released!

Lana said in an interview that she was all over the first version of snow on the beach, but because she can mimic almost anyone, she layered her vocals so perfectly that youd never be able to tell that shes all over it. She also said taylor originally wanted her to sing the whole thing, but she said she'd act as a producer more than a featured artist if she thinks a song is perfect. She said and I quote "if it aint broke, dont fix it". The second version of sotb has lana on almost the entire song except the first verse, youll love it.

You have to watch Taylor Swift live on the ears tour doing vigilante shit. Please do that please do that.

For Maroon, I also highly recommend her songs Red and Daylight as comparisons to how she uses colors to describe emotions ❤

Lorde Melodrama is brilliant, I think it'd be right up your ally

This is one of my favorites of hers. I love the vulnerability and honesty in it. I would suggest going in reverse order since you started with the most recent. That would be Evermore next which is my favorite album of hers. It's main producer is Aaron Dessner of the national with a few by Jack.

This album is mostly about her old boyfriend that she was with for 6 1/2 years.

Maroon is an entire love and loss story in one song. Probably one of her best pop songs ever too. The songwriting was really insane. Anyway, this has a 3 am edition that has 7 additional songs and they’re actually great.

YESSS I’m so glad someone likes the deeper voice on ‘Midnight Rain’ I LOVE IT

Haven’t even finished the video yet and I love your energy man! Glad you’re deciding to jump into the Taylor swift rabbit hole. Highly recommend listening to “The Great War” on the 3 am track

38:25 they were clapping 15 secs later because it was new years day 2013. And the guy she kissed was Harry styles.

NOT the pink Stanley💀🤣

“she’s batman swift” 😂😂😂😂

Jack is an amazing producer and they are top tier as a team. Then you get into the lyrics and the more Taylor you listen to, the more connections you will see with past songs. Maroon is reflecting on a past relationship 10 years later. The relationship is first represented on the album Red. Welcome to the party come on down the rabbit hole with us.

Track 5s- Taylor has a history of urging her most vulnerable songs in each album in the 5th spot.

Thanks for the honest reaction and glad hat you love this album. . She is my favorite and I am 78 yrs old, my daughter say I am A Swiftie! Ha ha ha! I admire her as an artist and as a caring human being.

The thing about Taylors albums is that they are widely different. They tell different stories in completely different views, and each of them have a distinct sound. Her lyrics as you can tell are amazingly written. Reputation is a darker pop album with hints of other genres, so that could be a good one to listen too. 1989 is the brighter poppy album, but also great, you'll enjoy it too. There is a lot of content to choose from, and you cant go wrong. One word of advice, some albums are a lot to take in lyrically and they are very long, so albums like Red you may want to split up into 2 or 3 parts, just a suggestion. Hope to see your future album reactions!

i LOVE this reaction SOO MUCH!! if you do more taylor reactions I'm 100% watching them all loool. her songwriting is truly incredible; it's most evident in her pandemic albums folklore & evermore (which if you react to them, you should react to folklore first before evermore, it's basically an unspoken rule as evermore is in a way a continuation haha). reputation seems like it'll also definitely be up your alley based off of this reaction, but all of her albums definitely have amazing songs and moments, i recommend them heavily. and yes, i LOVEE midnights, but a lot of swifties hate on it for whatever reasons--i think it's a mix of the fact that it's her most recent and it's a huge shift back to pop after her previous albums, folklore & evermore, and a lot of swifties who became fans because of those records were disappointed she didn't continue that route. regardless, taylor excels in every genre she attempts, and i'm suuuuper excited to see more from you!! (def recommend the 3am tracks of midnights too btw! they have a slightly different vibe but are still great and many consider those tracks even better than the original 13)

I am so thrilled that you appreciate this album!! It changed me and continues to evolve as a living, breathing entity because, as the continues her Taylor's Version project and releases vault songs/new studio music, it all gives Midnights brand new context and insight!! Also YAY another Labyrinth lover!! 🫶

I love this album bc it’s such a surprise. Taylor never disappoints and she’s fearless with her music choices.

I’m a Taylor fan and Midnights is my favorite album! I really love how it is a concept album about everything that could make you up at night, the vibes are amazing I love listening to it at night because as you said, it’s so dreamy!!!! The production, the vocals, the background, everything is just perfect! I’m glad that you liked it and I really loved your interpretation of the songs. Btw, Taylor’s album “Lover” is also a concept album capturing the “love” from all its different aspects, similar to the idea of Midnights. Lover is also not too much appreciated between the fans, but it is a really good album. I’d suggest to give it a chance!

There are more Midnights songs you should do! Here’s a list of them The Great War Bigger Than the Whole Sky Paris High Infidelity Glitch Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve Dear Reader Hits Different You’re Losing Me Snow on the Beach (feat More Lana) Karma (feat Ice Spice)

25:55 I LOVE that you paused the music to “clarify” and accuse us of “creating false narratives.” 😂❤

I think it's cool that you started with her newest album, cause now if you react to any other albums you can compare them to what she is doing now

Please listen to the 3am tracks and then the additional songs!! "You're Losing Me" "Snow on the Beach ft more Lana" "Hits Different" The 3am tracks introduce another one of her favorite collaborators, Aaron Dessner from The National, and some say that the 3am tracks are even better than the standard edition. ❤

Midnights was a grower for me for sure but now it it in my top 3 albums. I can’t find a single song that isn’t good. This album is definitely more experimental than others. Folklore and Evermore are also their own thing as well but overall she really doesn’t have a bad album. I’m excited to see your journey and I’m glad you started with this album!

I’m glad you came up in my recommended…I love watching people lose their swiftie virginities lmao 😂 I can’t wait to see more!

Love your reaction. Incredible album by Taylor. I really hope that she win the Album of the year at Grammys this year. midnights have other version “the till dawn version” when you have time listening too ❤

Great that you liked this Taylor album. I became a fan of hers last year and the first full album I heard was this one in fact. I suggest you also listen to the version "The Til Dawn Edition" where there are 10 more songs including Karma's mix with Ice Spice. By the way, seeing YOU is a delight to the eyes 🥰🙈New subscriber to your channel of course 😉

I lovvvve this album. It’s in the top 3 of her albums for me…along with Folklore and Reputation. She’s so versatile. When I hear people bash her …I know they haven’t put much effort into learning anything about her. It’s fine if people don’t like her particular brand of music, but when they totally cut her down and say she’s a horrible writer or vocalist or person…nawl…they’re clueless. And I’m a fairly new swiftie. 💚 Really enjoyed your reaction. I’m in Chattanooga!

On Midnight Rain, both voices are Taylors it’s just distorted! Such a great album

Your reaction is so great.Plz react to folklore and evermore,I really need those🥺🥺

I love that you loved this album. The original 13 tracks make a truly cohesive soundscape with the theme of the worries and insecurities that kept her up at night. Great dreamy pop production with smart, mature lyrics. Taylor tends to be extra and can’t just leave it alone, so of course there are other versions and a zillion bonus tracks. Yes of course there are some good songs in all that. Some great ones actually. But she should’ve just released another album. We didn’t need Ice Spice on Karma or more Lana. The pop world doesn’t need another feature. The frustrating part of being her fan is that she clearly works too hard to make everyone else happy rather than sticking to her original artistic intent.

i feel like sweet nothing is more than likely about how there is pressure on herself and her relationship from all angles for it to be something grand and she should always be doing more more more, but he himself doesn’t expect something ridiculous and a spectacle of their love from her, just sweet nothing

mastermind isnt about kelce he came in July/August of 2023 and taylor only released in Oct 2022, it was also said that song inspiration came from watching some old movie

I really enjoyed this react! Thanks for sharing with us ✨

You have to watch the live version of vigilante shit - it’s 😮😍

Hey, i really enjoyed this reaction! Thanks for making it. I am so glad you loved the album, it's one of my favorites too. I am not sure why some fans don't like it. Maybe the production is too sophisticated. The interesting thing about Midnights is the concept. When it first came out we were told it was inspired by 13 sleepless nights scattered throughout her life. It has five main themes, self-hatred, revenge fantasies, wondering what might have been, falling in love, and falling apart. We later learned that at the same time she was writing the album, her 6 year relationship with the guy she thought was the love of her life (and the inspiration for much of the music on every album from Reputation onward) was breaking down. The fans were shocked when they broke up, and it has been interesting to go back and reevaluate these songs through that lens. There is an argument to be made that Midnights may be at least partly a breakup album. I think if you like Midnights, that you should check out Reputation next. It's pretty dark too, it's just harder edged and has bigger production than Midnights but they have a lot in common. The Reputation Stadium Tour is pretty great too.

If you like this version, you should listen to the other ten songs/versions which are included in the ‘Til Dawn edition of Midnights. This album was released over a year ago now, and so nothing on it was written during her relationship with Travis Kelce, most songs which do reference someone in her real life, are about her previous boyfriend, Joe Alwyn, who she was involved with for around six years. But, she did adapt a line in Karma to update it about Travis, changing the line, “Karma is the guy on the screen, coming straight home to me” (Joe is a TV actor.) She changed it to, “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs, coming straight home to me,” when Travis was at a show this fall.

Who's gonna tell him about the bonus songs...

You need to listen to Reputation! It’s one of my favorite albums!

I didnt like this album at first because I was a Folklore girl. But after a few listen, this became my top 1 taylor album.

You are in for a ride my guy! Loved the reaction please do all the albums! And the vault tracks 😊

We need 3am edition

reaction midnights 3am edition ，midnights the til dawn edition 。

It’s wild to me that people would recommend reputation to someone who isn’t already a Taylor fan lol, I would start with midnights, folklore, and maybe red? Edit: no hate to rep btw, I love that album but it’s just not one I’d use to introduce someone to Taylor, production SLAPS tho

Please do more Taylor! I love your honest and raw reaction. You’re going into it with no preconceived notions and that makes it amazing!

23:18 they re-recorded the song with a Lana verse for the the midnights til dawn edition (its at the end of the album)

Be sure to read what Taylor writes on her albums talking about what the album is- the is VERY IMPORTANT for Folklore.

Welcome to the club of Swift enjoyers! Of course liking the music by someone THIS famous/popular/successful comes with A LOT of hate, but just like anything else in life, it's up to you to let others and others' opinions define you. Glad you gave this album a chance and that you liked it! At the end of the day, your own experience with music (whatever it is) is what matters most. :)

You make my day when you post

I ADORE YOUR REACTION 💜💫

omg the cat ❤❤❤

I love your reaction man

"Batman Swift" got me 😂

Loved this reaction! PLEASE do her album folklore next!!

49:30: “Never trust it if rises fast and it can’t last” Sir, you are never beating the 🏳‍🌈allegations!! 😂😂😂 Joking, of course. Great video, as always!! Keep them coming!

This was truly one of my favorite reactions to this album because you actually listened to the lyrics 🥹🫶🏼

I AM A FAN AND LOVE IT! Her diversity is inspiring and her ability to do introspection is really relatable. Each record is different but it’s always FANTASTIC! Please listen to “Dear John” and then listen to “Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve” right after one another. WE hate Jake, but not as much as John Mayer. If you have any daughters, sisters, nieces, etc… your eyes will be opened to what it means to us to have this happens. JUST FOR FUN: Watch the live video of Vigilante Shit. You’ll never look away.

Thanks for trying Taylor and being open minded. a lot of swifties fav Taylor songs are usually the deep cuts and not the hit radio singles because sthe deep cuts showcase Taylor's "magic". Taylor is definitely an album artist rather than a single artist. the best way to react/trying her music is to listen to a full album. because listening to one song does not represent at all what the rest is like. I hope you will react to more Taylor. honestly, Taylor live is in my opinion the best Taylor. she brings the songs to life. but reacting to the albums first is an experience in itself. Here are some recommended Taylor album to react to next because each Taylor album sounds different. reputation - her 6th album. more industrial in your face pop because it was her response to being canceled by social media in 2016. so in 2017 she released an album where she tells how she found love throughout all the "noise" folklore - 8th album. her 2020 lockdown album. very folk/pop album with amazing lyrics

"Batman Swift" love it! Great reaction!

47:27 Thaaaank you. I couldn’t agree more lol. This is what I like to hear, excellent. Your response and explanation here is 10/10. Yes, please…tell the boys.

i love ur reactions! ur so funny!!!!!

She did remake Snow on the Beach with more Lana… it’s a bit different but great!

Karma was my top song on Spotify wrapped 😂 it’s soooooo good

Loved the reaction. Midnights is one of my faves. I'd love to see you circle back and do the bonus tracks (see the Til the Dawn edition). They are fantastic, and you'll esp. enjoy the second version of Snow on the Beach with more Lana!

I would LOVE to see you react to her albums Folklore and Evermore, they're masterpieces.

Her vocals have definitely improved with age (but remember she started as a teen and very few voices are fully formed at that point), especially her lower register and her overall control of her voice. Her singing on Folklore was almost all in her lower register and so soft that it is actually super pretty.

23:17 yes, she did in More Lana Del Rey version

It's up to you but can you also react to the 3am tracks along with the till dawn. On the till dawn Taylor and Lana did snow on the beach again but featuring more lana. She has a verse lol. Thanks for reacting to Lana and Taylor

Maroon is my fav Taylor song EVER. Cool video man, i remembered how i acted when i first listened to these songs. ALSO WHAT A FINE MAN oh god, give me some what he is having

This album is meant to be about those things that keep you up at night

loved your reaction! please do reputation next i think you'll love it!!

Loved your reaction! You should definitely react to the Reputation album!

Best content I have seen in a very long time :)
