LET'S TAKE A DEEP DIVE INTO MIDNIGHTS! Every easter egg I found, reference to past songs and lovers, and insight from a language analysis English-obsessed wordplay-loving Swiftie who's seen it all. Basically I miss when Taylor gave us secret messages, so I've gone hunting for them myself :) These are my personal interpretations of the album, things I picked up on and thought would be fun to discuss! Let me know if any of these shocked you, and any references I missed 😊

I was reading through the comments of YOYOK and one of them said “This song if for the background friends, the third wheels, the invited last-minute as an afterthought, the never chosen to be a bridesmaid/groomsman, the shoulder-to-cry-on but never reciprocated, the lonely people-pleasers, and the eternally quiet kids afraid of taking up too much space or talking too long too loudly” and I feel like the perfectly summed up the vibe of YOYOK.

@michellewormuth9919 Год назад

Wait. I just noticed that the Daisy Mae comic is called Daisy Mae and Li’l Abner in Paper Dolls… for those that don’t know, John Mayer wrote a song called Paper dolls that was (allegedly 🙄) about Taylor. This is the synopsis of the comic: Beautiful Daisy Mae Scragg was hopelessly in love with Li’l Abner through the entire course of the 43 year run of Al Capp’s comic strip. During most of it Abner took Daisy for granted and exhibited little romantic interest in her voluptuous charms. In 1952 Abner reluctantly proposed to Daisy Mae to emulate the wedding of his comic strip ideel, Fearless Fosdick. Fosdick’s wedding turned out to be fake, but Abner and Daisy’s was real. Once married, Abner became relatively domesticated and the two produced their only child, Honest Abe, in 1953. Like Abner’s Mammy Yokum and other wimmenfolk in Dogpatch, Daisy Mae did all the work while the menfolk generally did nothing whatsoever. Despite this near slavish role, Daisy Mae seldom complained, one of her countless virtues. Her blood family, on the other hand, was as evil as could be. Wild plot twists often took Daisy Mae to exotic locales and she was frequently wooed by rich and handsome men, but she always returned to Dogpatch and her true, if worthless, love. SO LONG DAISY MAE!

In karma when she says "Karma is the guy on the screen- Coming straight home to me" I just picture taylor watching anything and everything Joe has ever been in whenever she misses him and just sitting in her bed looking at the screen being like omg thats my boyfriend can you believe? Or facetiming him and having those same emotions. Like there is such a wholesomeness to hearing her excitement about her relationship and it makes me positively giddy

@AllySheehan Год назад

@delfi__arts Год назад

I know mastermind is about Joe, but I also think it's about her relationship with the fans. "To make them love me and make it seem effortless, this was the first time I felt the need to confess" is her being her most vulnerable self with this album and us saying we knew it all along and love her for being such a masterminddd

@AllySheehan Год назад

i completely agree! i think mastermind and anti-hero are sister songs in that way, they both can refer to her insecurities within relationships but also her fans

@whitepouch0904 Год назад

This album is about Joe and his issues with him and she’s talking to her fans to let us know.

@altheaosborn2648 Год назад

So, the lyric, "No one wanted to play with me as a little kid, so I've been scheming like a criminal ever since, to make them love me and make it seem effortless...this is the first time I've felt the need to confess. And I swear, I'm only cryptic and Machiavellian 'cuz I care." not only sums up the song Mastermind but is the central conflict behind the entirety of Midnights...and is also the key to understanding Taylor's entire discography and artistic persona up to this point. It's a theme that pops up over and over again throughout her albums and also in her poetry--"no amount of friends at 25 will fill the empty seats at the lunch tables of your past." It's a raw and powerful line full of contradictions, and imo it's one of her best lyrics to date. Love her so much

@brendaea Год назад

Probably other people have said this, but this album feels like therapy, like when you make progress in therapy and understand your insecurities and regrets and then turn them into growth

@AllySheehan Год назад

Especially when you think about her ending it with dear reader 😭😭

@rachelchunnlowery Год назад

Yessss!! It feels like therapy for me for sure. I’ve had some very similar relationships/situationships and having a more mature look at those situations feels so therapeutic. I’m no long heartbroken over them and very much happily married and in love. But it feels good to have this new perspective of those instances.

@emmajacobs3052 Год назад

my interpretation of the rubies line in "maroon", was that she gave up the part of herself that she later got back in "bejeweled." bc despite thinking that she lost a part of herself to that relationship that she thought she might never get back, after the relationship ended, she realized that she was still "bejeweled" and that that part of her was still there after all. and maybe she used rubies in particular to just tie into the red theme of "maroon." great video as always!!

one thing I wanted to add about the “and I’m a monster on the hill” line from Anti-Hero. The phrase “over the hill” means no longer young and attractive (literally meaning that on the line graph of a woman’s age vs her beauty, she is past the peak of attractiveness and her looks will only decline with age which…gross…) I took the line to mean Taylor is metaphorically standing on this hill, staring down the declining road. She, like most women, fears she is passing her “peak” and will be seen as less and less attractive as she grows older - compared to the desirable “sexy baby” on the other side of that hill.

@AllySheehan Год назад

woww yes i love that interpretation so much!

@dosesandmimoses 10 месяцев назад

May I ask why you think over the hill means no longer attractive?

@sophiesheffield9309 10 месяцев назад

@ dosesandmimoses This is just a thought but maybe because a hill is like a peak so over the hill is like past your peak, and over the hill it would in theory propably go downhill so they are saying her prime is over potentially?

@VanessaTS28 Год назад

Ally wait!!! You talking about Anti-Hero has made me have a realisation. When you said that only Taylor would include a beauty and the beast reference, I suddenly realised 'tale as old as time' is not the only reference - she also more subtly references it in the second verse because everybody is a sexy baby (beauty/the other people in the town) and she's the monster on the hill (beast). And also! A lot of the lyrics do invoke beauty and the beast imagery - like the mirror and 'tea time' and 'all of the people I've ghosted stand there in the room' (the enchanted objects are kind of ghost-like and they were cursed because of the prince/beast) and 'pierced through the heart but never killed' (beast was pierced in the back but still), and even the stuff about worrying about someone leaving and being alone and life losing its meaning for the last time. Plus also the beast is literally an anti-hero. It's actually so beauty and the beast...I am in awe of her mind.

When I hear the bridge of YOYOK i think of how in Miss Americana she talked about losing the Grammy for RED and never wanting to feel that again. With that drive in mind she made 1989 and became the first female artist to win the AotY Grammy. "Blood sweat and tears" is all the work that went into that album and "something they can't take away" is the honor of that Grammy

@casperaaron5530 4 месяца назад

She was not even close to the first woman to win the album of the year grammy, what are you even talking about? She was the first solo female artist to win it twice, but the first woman to win it was judy fucking garland in the 1960's. I know we all idolize taylor but let's not just literally make up facts to make her seem more than she is.

@kamrynbellamy Год назад

I was born in 2009 and I was introduced to Taylor when I was really young I started really getting in to Taylor when I was about 5 and I bought a 1989 karaoke CD and that was the start. I am so happy to be able to experience her music with everyone else and there is so many other artists out there but Taylor is obviously number one. I love how with being a fan of Taylor we are always full, she doesn't stop making music for 10 years she shoves our little faces full with new songs, albums, and lyrics alike. I am just so proud to be a swiftie and your videos make me appreciate it even more. I love everything you do keep it going!

@heyheyhey7988 Год назад

It's so clear to me now that "exile ends" in bejeweled is now referring to her relationship with Joe being like exile(there were so many signs ) ending, so now she can shine.

@nicodemusfleur Год назад

I think of that “I feel you no matter what, the rubies that I gave up” lyric being her saying that even though the relationship fell apart for good reasons (rust between telephones, disappointing carnations, etc.), that she still feels and remembers the loss of the best/shiniest parts of it (rubies).

@hudlepie953 Год назад

In question in the first chorus when she sings “then what did you do” the “I remember” plays very softly in the background. Also “you painted all my nights I colour I’ve searched for since”, connects to, “I took polaroid of us and discovered the rest of the world was black-and-white, but we were in screaming colour” Her brain

One thing to consider about "no one wanted to play with me as a little kid" in Mastermind is that it can also be connected to her as an adult and no one wanting to "play with her" during the 2016 drama, since that's around the time they met and were getting to know each other. So this connects to how she felt the need to create this masterplan to get him to like her for who she is, since her reputation was tarnished, but he didn't think that was necessary and he liked her regardless of it all but played along the masterplan anyways. I also don't necessarily think that Mastermind cancels out the other songs. Both can exist and be true in their own way. I think that paper rings and invisible string are the fate that brought them together to meet in the first place, but mastermind was what happened after once she realized that she wanted to be with him. She did say she went home and stalked him on the internet after meeting, which probably proves that's when her whole plan started. She's so funny for that, I love it haha.

@ChaoticallyJayMusic Год назад

Snow on the beach is in my top 5. It is so good. I know people are disappointed Lana isn’t in it more that I think it had clouded their judgment. I went into this song with no expectations and I’m in love. The production is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard. Her voice is so beautiful. Lana’s backing vocals are beautiful. The sound and the feeling the song gives just make this song absolutely incredible. I don’t get the hate.

I nearly died at the overwhelming pride that was absolutely BEAMING out of me! We also attend the Reputations concerts every single night- performed by my other daughter, she’s 4. My husband has recently become a Swiftie, which took 12 years but he’s fully in now I just wanted to share this with other super fans bc no one else could appreciate it haha!

I appreciate you sharing that about being vulnerable and putting yourself out there online and in life. This is something that I know I am going to have to face once I start making art and trying to connect with people online and in person more. Its really scary you are not alone 💖

@laurabolanos9712 Год назад

I thought so too!! Some of the lyrics illustrate the ATW short film for me… dancing in New York I envisioned the kitchen/refrigerator scene and when he breaks it off with her he’s literally sobbing with his head in his hands. Standing hollow eyed in the hallway reminds me of The Last Time. Then rust growing between the phones further cements it to me that it’s about Jake. ATW has a phone lyric, WANEGBT has a phone lyric AND makes a cameo in the music video, Almost Do does as well, etc.

@@laurabolanos9712 your explanation is much better, i just thought of the song „red” and how it’s about jake so maroon must be also 🫠

I love your dissection of every track. I swear I have listened to this album nonstop but I still feel emotional when I listen to the songs and watch your reaction and enjoyment to them. It brings me so much happiness that you appreciate mastermind, because in my first listen I cried my eyes out when she said “no one wanted to play with me as a little kid, so I’ve been scheming like a criminal ever since, to make them love me and make it seem effortless, this is the first time I’ve felt the need to confess”. As someone who was deeply shy and awkward as a kid and teenager that line hit home. Thank you for the effort you put into this video, I know it mustn’t have been easy considering the technical difficulties you’ve experienced with your laptop. Props to the apple IT support though ❤

The lyric that sums up each song: LH - I been under scrutiny, you handle it beautifully M - The carnations you had thought were roses, that’s us (this might be my favorite lyric on the album but there are SO many perfect ones) AH - I’ll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror SOTB - You wanting me tonight feels impossible YOYOK - Still the yearning stays MR - But for him it’s every day Q…? - You painted all my nights a color I have searched for since VS - I don’t start it, but I can tell you how it ends B - And I miss you, but I miss sparkling L - Oh no, I’m falling in love again K - Ask me why so many fade but I’m still here SN - Outside they’re push and shoving, you’re in the kitchen humming (this is me crying) M - No one wanted to play with me as a little kid, so I’ve been scheming like a criminal ever since HD - It hits different ‘cause it’s you TGW - It was war, it wasn’t fair, and we will never go back BTTHS - You were more than just a short time P - Romance is not dead if you keep it just yours HI - I was dancing around, dancing around it G - I thought we had no chance WCS - Memories feel like weapons, and now that I know, I wish you’d left me wondering DR - You should find another guiding light, but I shine so bright

Hey Ally, I just wanted to say something to what you mentioned about your channel growing and how scared you are about that sometimes. I think I found you in the exact time that you meant and I appreciate you so much. Your videos feel like a safe space to me aswell and I love seeing someone being so excited about music and movies and not being afraid to show it. There is a lot of fakeness on the internet but with you it‘s never the case. I think that‘s the reason why you don‘t have to be afraid that other people find you. Bad people get bored by realness and vulnerability in the end. Just keep on going💕 thank you and have a nice day!

No, because the whole " her revealing this vulnerable thing that she thins is the worst thing ever and him just smiling at her cus he knew the entire time" thing in Mastermind is exactly like "and i scream for whatever its worth, I LOVE YOU AINT THAT THE WORST THING YOU EVER HEARD" and "HE LOOKS UP GRINNING LIKE A DEVIL" from Cruel Summer whattt

Hi Ally, love your reaction. I can't help but feel this might well be Taylor's way of saying goodbye. So many lyrics just for her real fans, so vulnerable. I could be wrong but it feels like a farewell. She may be planning on going to that place where poets went to die. If so what a piece of work to leave us with.

I’ve listened to taylor since I was 4 (between fearless and speak now) (yes, I’m the younger sibling of a major swiftie could you tell)and Midnights is my favorite album. It’s so fresh and special and I feel like it is truly an inside look into Taylor’s mind because she’s sharing her deeper fears and feelings. (Ex. Anti hero, You’re Losing Me)

@jaimimelissa7495 7 месяцев назад

I am a newer follower, and have been going back and watching these older videos. And it was so fun watching your breakdown of midnights now knowing that she sang Labyrinth when Travis was there and changed the lyric in Karma. 😅❤

@leannep2688 Год назад

Oh nooo I just saw your outro and how you’re fearful that people will find you and disturb your comfy zone of wonderful people you’ve surrounded yourself with. I’m very happy to have found you in the last couple days and love hearing your excitement and deep dives. I definitely thought Janet from rocky horror and thought of the innocent song written for Kanye nestled within vigilante sh!t. Sending much love from Canada and have no intention of disrupting your safe zone! 💜

@erinmontano2987 11 месяцев назад

Hey Ally, I watched this video last night and I got to thinking about Midnight Rain again. I totally agree with you that it has major Taylor L vibes and Twilight. The one line that stuck out to me is "Jumpin off things in the ocean" I couldn't help but picture New Moon when they did the cliff diving. Of course the part about the "montage, slow motion love potion", all that to me seems like Twilight and talking about an actor. I love your videos. I'm so glad you got to do the live listening party! Your insights are so good. Thank you for sharing with us!

Omg your take is so thorough, thank you for sharing and doing the difficult detective work. I would add one point to your antihero take (14:20ish) - as someone who has also recovered from an eating disorder - I think antihero, peace, cruel summer, clean, archer, can all be examples of the multifaceted aspects of eating disorders. Lots in recovery use metaphor of ed’s as manipulative and abusive ex’s. So in these songs the metaphor about a romantic partner or her fame can also refer to the way her ed talks to her like a controlling and abusive s/o. But of course the songs can also be just as easily applied to literal relationships or fame. It’s all a hot take😂

@MegaXavi999 Год назад

Nice video! I really like your commentary on the album. I'm sorry you couldn't get tickets for her show! Snow on the Beach was one of the most popular and streamed songs of the album though, people loved it even if they were disappointed by the lack of Lana. And the hype over it just got bigger with the release of SOTB ft. More Lana. If you want to chek out Lana's music here are some recommendations: Video Games, Ride, Black Beauty, Music To Watch Boys To, Cherry, Cinnamon Girl, Dark But Just A Game, Arcadia, A&W. (Just a glance of each album)

I know that sweet nothing is most likely about joe but the first time I heard it I thought about her mom, with the childhood references and her resorting back to her mom whos always at home in the kitchen making her feel safe and then the "they say the end is coming" being about her cancer I know it's not what it's about but a part of me still thinks it might be and it breaks my heart.
