Longevity tings. ... it's not like 1989, an older album, hasn't been above it literally every single week that Reputation scraped onto the BB200 (until it started its current streak) since at least folklore (I couldn't be bothered to go back any further for Puta). That week Puta was at 60, 1989 was at 35. This week, Puta might be at 100, but there are six Taylor albums charting comfortably above it in the top 60 (where Puta peaked at the height of the Midnights frenzy). You can brag about its longevity all you want, but compared to the rest of Taylor's discography, it underperforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Folklore89sm Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Enough time has passed to admit that Midnights is an extremely ok album and is still a major disappointment. It makes me nervous that she might see how well it’s done on streaming and think that this sound/theme is what we want from her. Compared to folklore and evermore, Midnights sucks. It’s still a decent album but it’s nothing compared to what she is capable of. It feels like ten steps backwards. TS10 should have been an ambitious and experimental masterpiece in a new sound that builds on the artistic growth shown on the last two albums. Midnights is not that. It feels like the natural successor to Lover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feanor Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 She's not even going to tease the tour huh? She now truly only engages with fans when she wants us to spend money. Nothing outside of that. Even during the reputation era she'd be more active… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puta only sold as much as it did (in its first week because we know it was frontloaded as HELL) because it was the follow up to 1989, but people immediately tossed it in the trash where it belongs after they listened to it. It had the worst longevity out of any of her albums up until that point, and even now only evermore beats it. Puta would have been an even bigger disaster had it not been released as the follow up to 1989 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ithinkheknowsoutsold Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Before the start of the Eras Tour, let me remind you guys of the fact that the setlist of the Lover Fest was finalised, practiced, and recorded before the Covid lockdown in March 2020. 30+ songs were recorded live, including 22, Bad Blood, and All Too Well with new renditions, and 16 Lover tracks (including a drums remix of Afterglow). Someone needs to leak those too now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemon Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 I wouldn’t call Midnights just an ok album from her. You can’t really make fair comparison against folklore and evermore, because of the sound and atmosphere of those albums, but then again, I understand Midnights is being labelled as solid project because she hasn’t left out her lyricism. People may have their opinions on the production of certain songs, but Anti-Hero is her best written hit alongside Blank Space fot example ( cardigan and willow are also there though ). Not to mention how elaborate she is on You’re on Your Own, Kid, Mastermind and Aaron Dessner tracks ( not only on those ). She has gone for moodier vibe, but she also displayed Lavender Haze and Karma, songs that are definitely something fresher and newer to her. In fact, sound of Lavender Haze, Karma and False God for a complete album would be a dream. Also, Seeb’s Delicate, Roosevelt’s Anti-Hero, Clean Bandit’s You Need To Calm Down, Snakehips’s Lavender Haze, her version of This Is What You Came For and Dancing With Our Hands Tied truly give reasons for starting petition for Taylor’s Club.

Cruel Summer Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 The idea that Midnights is some kind of disappointment doesn't sit right with me. To some people, sure, just like every one of her albums isn't for everybody and that's fine - but for some of us it remains an excellent pop album that we enjoy hearing. It'll struggle not to point to the fact that it's still top five on the Billboard 200, because I know that commercial success doesn't equate to quality, but it's doing well for a reason: a huge portion of the fanbase loved it, still loves it, and will continue to love it in the future.

I don't really understand this either. For me Midnights is her best pop album, maybe battling 1989. The only songs that I actually find questionable/bad are Question...?, Vigilante S*** and Snow On The Beach. The rest ranks from decent to career highlights imo. Maroon and WCS are still stronger than pretty much any other Taylor pop song except Wildest Dreams imo (though I know you hate WD ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
