Once dismissed as just another pop princess, with her dating history of more interest than her talent, Taylor Swift’s incredible, poetic lyricism is finally being embraced, allowing her to shine particularly bright on ‘Midnights’. The concept of the album - a reminiscence of 13 sleepless nights throughout Swift’s life - is a genius idea, allowing for a kaleidoscope of sounds: the ethereal ‘Snow On The Beach’, the cutting confidence of ‘Vigilante Shit’ and, of course, the self-deprecating hit turned TikTok song, ‘Anti-Hero’. If your first instinct is to dismiss a Taylor Swift album, listen to ‘Midnights’ - you’ll be surprised. LT
