Midnights, [redacted]


Wedged between two Swifties, without a chance of escape, I sat in that car while Taylor Swift's latest release droned on in my ears. Key word: droned. Not a single track takes off. Is it intentional, the emptiness in her voice, or is it her own exhaustion from writing too many songs? On top of that, she seems a couple decades too late to the beloved angst era of her millennial age group, if that's even what she's trying on. I am not sure what genre she'll go after next, but I hope she gets better rest for the next album, and I a better seat in the car.
