![]() ![]() As a Lana stan, I’m pretty bummed her part is brief, but hey! I’ll take what I can get out of this collab. I’m anxiously waiting for Instagram feeds and stories to be flooded with beach photos and videos with this song playing in the background, or captioned “snow on the beach”. While it’s a song about the magic of falling in love, it’s clearly written and sung by a person who’s reached the comfortable, safe part of a relationship and the magic that comes from being in that place. When I first heard it, I immediately got cozy in-love vibes. I love a Taylor Swift love song, and this is one of the good ones. “Snow on the Beach” (featuring Lana Del Rey) Garri Also, as a broke 21 year old college student, the lyric “Cheap wine, make believe it’s champagne” is so real.ġ6. Like, this makes me wanna put a little beret on with the 2013 skater skirt and graphic tee combo. Also, I’m absolutely obsessed with this lyric: “Romance is not dead if you keep it just yours.”ġ989? Are you there? You forgot a song. The first verse of this song sounds like a conversation my friends and I have every other weekend, gathering in the same room with our Postmates and coffee after a night out. Is it the best on the album? No, but you won’t find me skipping it anytime soon. It’s a sweet, poppy tune that references a theme we see a lot throughout this album: that love is a safe place to shelter yourself from the world. If Lover and 1989 had a baby, “Paris” would be it. I was expecting something with a little more of a punch for the start of the 3am tracks, but it’s still not a skip by any means. No because if this song came out in The Hunger Games era, fan accounts would be putting this over Katniss and Peeta ship edits like their lives depended on it. I echo what Mckenna says about making ship edits with this song, my immediate thoughts were Damon-Elena-Stefan clips for the people who can’t seem to let this love triangle go (me). I can’t explain it, but this would make a great song for a movie. I love history, so Taylor Swift using World War I as a metaphor? With a drum line? I never stood a chance. When I came to “The Great War” with fresh ears in the morning I appreciated it so much more. I’ll admit on my first listen, all seven bonus tracks blended together. This 13 track album actually has 20 songs. ![]() Jake Gyllenhaal haters it’s your time to take a breather, we wanna fight Calvin Harris now. I will say, though, that the outro did not need to go as hard as it did, but here we are. While I obviously still love it, this song wasn’t doing too much for me. If you want to know where Miss Swift was on April 29th, it absolutely wasn’t with Calvin Harris celebrating the release of his smash hit, “This Is What You Came For”… The way Taylor makes references to who she is writing about is truly unmatched. Oh I love “High Infidelity.” It’s raw, honest, and offers a perspective we haven’t really gotten from Taylor before. Not to make it too deep-just my Easter egg brain doing its job like Taylor has trained it to. I have a sneaking suspicion that she chose a color so close to red for a reason, as a possible dig at the love from her Red era. I feel like this song is so “Delicate” adjacent ( Reputation girlies rise) and I’m not mad about it. “How’d we end up on the floor, anyway?” You say “Your roommate’s cheap-ass screw-top rosé, that’s how”. I had a similar experience with “Death by a Thousand Cuts.” Then, its undeniable lyrical genius will hit me like a ton of bricks. I have a feeling this is a song I won’t be able to fully see the beauty of until I’m on a late night drive home. Upon my second and third listening, I began to appreciate “Maroon” a little more. ![]() Oh don’t mind me I’m just listing the colors Taylor owns the copyright for. They’re graded on a scale of one to five moons but, spoiler alert, there’s not a single song rated one moon. But I’m not alone in this, I asked two other resident Swifties at The Everygirl, Andi and McKenna, to join me in ranking every song on the album. Needless to say, after listening to “Midnights” all night long, I have some thoughts. Let’s be honest, the possibility of getting any sleep went straight out the door. Just when I thought I’d be able to get at least a few hours of shut-eye before sitting at my desk to write this article in the morning, she gave me seven more songs to listen to. And then, Taylor did what she does best: shocked us all with a surprise seven bonus tracks. As soon as Midnights hit my Spotify, I locked myself away in my bedroom and began my journey listening to the album through not once, not twice, not three times, but nonstop until I could no longer physically keep my eyes open. Well, Swifties, the time is finally here. I’ve been anxiously awaiting the opportunity to write this article since our lord and savior, Taylor Swift, announced Midnights at the MTV Video Music Awards. ![]()
