midnights
this album isn't even a year old yet which is baffling. i feel like i've listened to these songs for years already at this point but i guess that's more a testament to my spotify habits. it feels like we get some of the tongue in cheek sort of lyricism here that we did in blank space which i love, and still have really vulnerable and touching pieces throughout it. i think while there's not really a cohesive feeling to it that i can draw from the album itself, hearing her talk about this album as what keeps her up at night actually makes it feel more complete.

this song makes me want to dance around and listen to it and it feels like a song that would come on in the uber back from a bar at 2am when i've had too many negronis and im thinking about texting my ex
- you're losing me
this is such a solid intro song and gets me directly into the vibe of the album--it feels like hearing music from outside the bar you left as you're walking back home and thinking.
maybe it's just my personal experience, but this feels like a captured moment that i've lived before and it's so beautiful.
this reminds me a lot of blank space in how it lampoons the media's portrayal of her, but also does feel more vulnerable in that the she may actually see herself as the problem.
probably the weakest song on the album, wish there was more lana, wish there was more of just something to hold onto in the song.
heartwrenching. i cry almost every time i hear it. it feels like watching all the hours i poured into a passion i am no longer involved in just going down the drain.
oddly feel like this song is underrated? like it's such a good mix of a pop song i wanna sing alone in my bedroom and also something more touching.
is this a phenomenal song? no, but i think it is still a good song for what it's trying to accomplish
this falls into my 'it's a bit cringey but i love it' taylor swift bucket
when i actually listen to the lyrics, i love this song even more than just bopping to the music and vibe
i love the motif of the heartbeats underneath it all, maybe it's not actually there but it always feels like it is.
what a phenomenal dancing song. this is the song i wanna be bouncing around with my friends to when we're all just a lil bit too drunk.
this song is so genuinely romantic and sweet, but i can't help but wonder about whether the sting of it is that in the end it is all sweet nothing
i didn't love this song as much as i do now, but seeing the eras tour performance totally sold me on it
god this is one of my favorites from the album, the lyrics are just so meaty. also bc i have a lot of ships that go to it
another hard song to talk about, but beautiful.
this song is just so fun. like it's not lyrically brilliant but i do wanna re-listen to it a lot.
the whole song being "yeah i cheated, so what?" is really funny to me for some reason. but i also love the brutalness of it.
the kind of taylor song i'm never actively seeking to re-listen but always end up loving when it comes on shuffle
tear my heart open and eat it in front of me. this song is devastating but is so kind to her younger self in a way that feels extremely relatable. like no, i wasn't some evil villain or some weak victim, i was a confused child/teenager just trying to do what she thought was right. and even if i'd shake myself now to say that i was wrong, i can't blame myself.
i like it, but have i relistened to it much at all? no.
