The 20th and final track on Midnights, Dear Reader is a dreamy song that has echoes of the underrated Dress from Reputation but without a lyric as good as “Only bought this dress so you could take it off”. W,C,S reminds me of Long Story Short from Evermore, but not QUITE as good. It’s one of several bonus tracks on Midnights’ 3AM edition that sees Taylor reunite with Aaron Dessner – who she walked with deep into the Folklorean woods and dropped two of the best records of her career. Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’veĬoming in 19th is funnily enough track 19, Would’ve, Could’ve Should’ve. Which I do like Taylor doing, but I need the rest of the song to slap as hard as the curse words. It’s nothing personal, I just don’t think it goes anywhere memorable beyond its swearing. A song has to come last, and right now that song is Question.
No ME!s and no You Need To Calm Downs, no Stay Stay Stays or horrid Ed Sheeran feature lurking in this tracklist. Now is a good a time as any to say that beyond a few cringe lyrics, I don’t think there’s a bonafide misfire anywhere to be found on Midnights.
