i am finally ranking Taylor Swift’s Midnights !!
i have now spent over a month with these songs and i am finally ready to sit down and tell you my favorites 🙂 i didn’t want to decide this right away because over time, your opinions change as you listen to more of the songs and my initial top 5 definitely changed from the first week i heard the album.
just because i rank certain songs lower, doesn’t mean i don’t love them! it just means that i love other ones more or that i relate to them more 🙂 everyone has their own favorite songs that have meaning to them because of the experiences they have had in their life and that’s something to keep in mind when watching other people rankings!
please share your own midnights rankings & let’s chat in the comments! please be respectful of everyone’s thoughts & opinions 🙂
i hope you enjoy this vlog, subscribe if you do! if you are reading this, thank you & i am so happy that you’re here 🤗
xoxo

I LOVE this album sooooo much too! thanks for ranking them. defs gonna listen to them in this order!
Okay I’m glad I finally found someone who doesn’t love Karma! Everyone keeps raving about how good it is and I feel bad for saying it is absolutely without a doubt my least favorite song on the album 😂
I really love your take on this album!
My top 3 is probably 1. Would’ve, could’ve, should’ve 2. You’re on your own, kid 3. Midnight rain
Also wanted to mention Dear Reader, it’s such an amazing song
can we get a vlogmas blooper reel after vlogmas?
Love this album so so much
My ranking:
1. Would've could've should've ( one of the best songs of her discography, I am obsessed)
2. Anti-hero
3. You're on your own kid
4. Maroon
5. Snow on the beach
6. Karma
7. The great war
8. Bejeweled
9. Lavender haze
10. Midnight rain
11. Hits different
12. Mastermind
13. Question…?
14. Paris
15. High infidelity
16. Dear reader
17. Sweet nothing
18. Vigilante shit
19. Bigger than the whole sky
20. Glitch
21. Labyrinth
some of my favorites were so low (v.s., question, glitch, h.i.) but I know you mean no hate towards them <3
I really struggle to rank anything, especially Midnights cause it kind of changes all the time but I would say my top 5 are :
1) Would've, Could've, Should've
2) Snow on the beach
3) The Great War
4) Maroon
5) You're on your own kid
My fav one is definitely Maroon, it is soooo beautiful and sas. And my second one is wouldve couldve shoudve
I think that Maroon is not about Jake, but it’s an evolution of Red, it talks about another person and another kind of love (more mature), with Jake it was burning red, with Harry was Maroon
There’s also a video of her dancing with 1D in New York with no shoes, it was from Red era but it was in between Red and 1989
I don’t want to make gossip, I know we’re talking about art but in this case I think it’s necessary because it helps realising that she went from Red, to Maroon and finally to golden
Just mi thoughts
Btw loved this ranking and all of your videos in general💙
HAPPY BIRTH TAY
Completely agree with you about Snow On The Beach, the clean version is my favourite too ☃️
I personally love vigilane sh*t, because i love dramatically walking through the hallway pretending im the villain in a movie.. 😉
But i get why people would not like it, i guess its one of those songs you either love of hate
I love your rating! Sweet nothing is my favorite song in this album 💕
as a swiftie i couldn’t agree more
I know we’re gonna have this video so this is my ranking:
1. Sweet nothing
2. Question…?
3. Lavender haze
4. You’re on your own kid
5. Anti hero
6. Maroon
7. Midnight rain
8. Would’ve could’ve should’ve
9. Karma
10. The great war
11. Bejeweled
12. Vigilante shit
13. Snow on the beach
14. High infidelity
15. Dear reader
16. Glitch
17. Paris
18. Labyrinth
19. Mastermind
20. Bigger than the whole sky
I haven’t listened to hits different enough to rank it. Wish it was included on Apple Music or the CD 🥲
I was holding my breath all the time since I knew sweet nothing is on your top 5
Yes sweet nothing is no.2. I would’ve died if it’s no.1 to you too 😭😭😭😭😭
The Great War just is not it for me and I really do not know why because I love this album so much.
Putting mastermind above anti hero is crazy.
I actually hate Sweet Nothing – I skip 9 times out of 10. I just fills me with a weird rage
Nena PLEASE TELL ME WHERE YOU GOT THE SWEATER 🤩 😍
taylor will always shock me with some of the lyrics she writes and the way she makes them sound so amazing
