Midnights Review (3am Edition):

Taylor Swift released her album Midnights on October 21, 2022. The album has gotten so much attention since its release. Below you will find ratings of each of the songs in Midnights (3am Edition).


Lavender Haze

Caryss: 9/10 Such a great way to start the album. It is such a great song with a good vibe.

McKenna: 7/10 I would like it if it was on, but I wouldn’t put it on.

Hanna: 7/10 I really like the chorus, however, I really wouldn’t choose to listen to this song on a drive.


Maroon

Caryss: 7/10 I didn’t like it at first, but the more I listen to it, the more I like it.

McKenna: 6/10 It was okay, but it’s easy to have as background music.

Hanna: 8/10 I personally love this song! I really enjoy this song for more of a chill day.


Anti-Hero

Caryss: 8/10 I love this song! It was my favorite for a while, but it is very overplayed.

McKenna: 7/10 It’s good, but has been way overplayed.

Hanna: 8/10 Honestly, I love this song, because I know all of the words but definitely agree with Kenna.


Snow On The Beach (feat. Lana Del Rey)

Caryss: 2/10 It’s a catchy song but was disappointing and different from what I expected.

McKenna: 1/10 Very disappointed because I love both artists and was expecting a lot more than was given. Definitely the worst song on the album.

Hanna: 3/10 I don’t absolutely hate this song, but it is pretty boring. It did gain some points for the chorus though, because it's very catchy.


You’ve On You own, Kid

Caryss: 10/10 I love this song so much. The chorus is so satisfying with the rhymes, and the bridge is flawless.

McKenna: 10/10 One of my favorites on the album and super catchy.

Hanna: 8/10 I thought this was a really great song, but I do wish that it was more upbeat.


Midnight Rain

Caryss: 8/10 I love to sing this when it comes on. It’s a very good song, but not the first one I think of to play.

McKenna: 7/10 It was good for a bit, but now it is too overplayed.

Hanna: 7/10 It is definitely a song that I would listen to while on a car ride, but again, overplayed.

Question…?

Caryss: 6/10 It took me a couple of listens to warm up to this song, but now I enjoy it.

McKenna: 6/10 It was boring but catchy.

Hanna: 5/10 Again, kind of depressing, but I don’t mind listening to it every now and then.


Vigilante Sh*t

Caryss: 9/10 I love this song so much, and it reminds me of “Reputation.”

McKenna: 5/10 I don’t like how it sounds, and nothing changed throughout the song to make it interesting.

Hanna: 6/10 UMM… I don’t not like this song, but it's not my fav; it is very boring.


Bejeweled

Caryss: 6/10 Love the song, but it is overplayed. It isn’t one that I skip, but wouldn’t be the first one I think of to play.

McKenna: 6/10 It was underwhelming and super overplayed.

Hanna: 10/10 I really love this song; I love to get ready to this song!


Labyrinth

Caryss: 6/10 It is a good song. The vibe is a lot calmer and slower than the other songs, which I really like.

McKenna: 8/10 It is catchy and different from the other songs in the album. To be honest, it’s underrated.

Hanna: 4/10 NO. NO. Very boring.


Karma

Caryss: 9/10 It is a good song. The vibe is a lot calmer and slower than the other songs, which I really like.

McKenna: 4/10 No. I hate it. It annoys me so much and is WAY overrated and under-hated.

Hanna: 8/10 Yess!! Very goooood; just yes! This song is on replay on my playlist!


Sweet Nothing

Caryss: 6/10 definitely wasn’t a fan of this song at first, but I have grown to like it more.

McKenna: 6/10 Forgot this was on the album, if that shows how memorable this song is.

Hanna: 5/10 Not the best; a very uneventful song.


Mastermind

Caryss: 9/10 Amazing song! The story the song tells is great, and the bridge is sooooooo good.

McKenna: 8/10 One of her better songs on this album, but not my favorite.

Hanna: 7/10 I wish it had a little bit of a faster tempo, but overall, not so bad.


The Great War

Caryss: 8/10 The bridge is definitely the best part of the song, but the rest of the song is super good too!

McKenna: 7.5/10 I loved the bridge, but the rest of the song was okay.

Hanna: 6/10 The bridge!!! The rest of the song was just not the best.


Bigger Than The Whole Sky

Caryss: 9/10 Definitely a top song on the album, even though it is on the sadder side.

McKenna: 9/10 It’s one of her sadder songs but is still one of the best on this album.

Hanna: 9.5/10 Really amazing, but I just don’t like how sad it is, so that's why it's half a point off.


Paris

Caryss: 10/10 FAVORITE SONG ON THE ALBUM. The vibe is absolute perfection, and I love the beat.

McKenna: 9/10 It was pretty good, but not my favorite on the album.

Hanna: 9/10 Love this song so much!


High Infidelity

Caryss: 8/10 I really like this song. Similar to “Bigger Than The Whole Sky.” It is a sadder song, but I still love the song!

McKenna: 9/10 Also really liked this song, even though the story is sad.

Hanna: 9/10 It starts off really depressing, however, I love the bridge!!!


Glitch

Caryss:4/10 It was underwhelming and is usually a skip song for me.

McKenna: 5/10 I would skip listening to this song.

Hanna: 5/10 Just no; I really do not enjoy this song, and I would really enjoy it if I never heard it again.


Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve

Caryss: 10/10 This is an AMAZING SONG! Definitely one of my favorites on the album.

McKenna: 9/10 SUCH A GOOD SONG! Should be played more over most of the other songs on her album.

Hanna: 5/10 had so much potential, but it did not meet my expectations.


Dear Reader

Caryss: 3/10 I didn’t enjoy this song as much as I hoped to.

McKenna: 4/10 100% should be replaced with “Hits Different.” This song didn’t add anything to the album, so there is almost no point to it.

Hanna: 2/10 So bad. Why is it even on the album?


Hits Different

Caryss:1000000000000/10 NEED THIS OUT RIGHT NOW. 100% would’ve been my favorite song, but it isn’t included in the album. Taylor, PLEASE give us Hits Different on the album.

McKenna: 10000000000000000/10 NEEDS TO BE RELEASED RIGHT NOW. TAYLOR PLEASE. WE ARE BEGGING.

Hanna: 10000000000000000/10 Ummm is this even a question?!! Why is this not released?!! Now, this is a song I would listen to on a daily… PLEASE RELEASE RIGHT NOW TAYLOR.
