Taylor Swift Midnights Reactions: Funniest Memes, Tweets From Fans
Midnights #Midnights
After the magical and chaotic night that was the Oct. 21 release of “Midnights,” Taylor Swift’s 10th studio album (which crashed Spotify upon its release,) the Swifties have been deployed to share their thoughts on the internet.
Appropriately, Swift released the original 13 tracks on the album at midnight on Friday. She touted a “3 a.m. chaotic surprise” for the past week, leaving fans inquisitive about what it could possibly be. Turns out, Swift had another seven tracks up her sleeve, bringing the count of songs on the album to 20.
Since the album’s release, Swift has also released a music video for the song “Anti-Hero,” which is already sending fans reeling with its relatable self-deprecating lyrics.
To see some of the best (and funniest) reactions to any and all things “Midnights,” keep reading.
Swifties never fail to make us laugh
In typical fashion, fans are having reactions to specific songs.
One user tweeted their appreciation for the song “Lavender Haze,” which seemingly addresses rumors of an engagement between Swift and her boyfriend Joe Alwyn.
“if you’re not shaking your a– to lavender haze grow up” the tweet reads.
One of the songs people are having some of the biggest reactions to is “Vigilante S—” for its more sensual undertones, a departure from the sound of the remainder of the album.
One user used pictures of Lois from “Family Guy” to express how she felt listening to the song “Anti-Hero” (which people are also having hilarious reactions to) compared to “Vigilante S—.”
One user also made a hilarious prediction of what’s to come for Swift’s impending tour.
“midnights tour is age restricted because she’s going to bring a man on stage during vigilante s— and sacrifice him” the tweet reads.

“three men i’ve dated have texted me about midnights…i AM the problem it IS me,” she said, referencing the catchy lyrics to the third track on “Midnights,” “Anti-Hero.”
Another Swiftie tweeted her analysis of the song “Maroon” on the album, expressing that she thinks it’s a more mature extension of “Red” in a hilariously crafted tweet.
“me tomorrow morning on one hour of sleep explaining to my coworkers that MAROON is a darker & more mature shade of RED which as everyone knows is a key color in taylor swift’s discography & especially in some of her most personal songs so this is a reflection of her growth–” the tweet reads.
One person tweeted that, although he didn’t listen to the album himself, his girlfriend did — and she had a relatable reaction:
