Midnights Review: Taylor Swift's Past Catches Up With Her on Her Latest Album

glamour.com:

Midnights, we find the 32-year-old on her second bottle of red wine, ruminating on betrayals big and small until she falls asleep on the couch.

The album is a galaxy of regrets and shortcomings. The only points of light are distant stars—bright, but difficult to see except on clear nights.

Love unexpectedly and improbably falls over two people in “Snow on the Beach." In “Sweet Nothing,” a track Swift is rumored to have co-written with her of six years, actor Joe Alwyn, she writes movingly of love as a retreat from the demands and disappointments of the outside world.

And “Bejeweled” is a playful reminder that Swift can go dancing and “make the whole place shimmer" if she feels like it. But at the stroke of midnight, she turns back into a pumpkin.
