So, let's keep the comments respectful and remember that we're all here to celebrate Taylor's artistry. Now, with that said, let's get this ranking started!
The Ranking Begins: From Bottom to Top
Let's start with the songs that, while not bad, just didn't quite hit the same high notes for me as the rest of the album. Remember, even the "lowest" ranked song on Midnights is still a Taylor Swift song, which means it's still pretty darn good!
Last Place: [Insert Song Title Here]
Okay, guys, before you grab your pitchforks, hear me out! This song, while having some redeeming qualities, just didn't quite resonate with me as much as the others. Maybe the melody wasn't as catchy, or the lyrics didn't hit me as hard. It's not a bad song, by any means, but in the context of such a strong album, it just ended up at the bottom of my list. Now that does not mean that you're not going to like the song, it just means that I didn't enjoy the song as much as the others on the album. Even Taylor has to have some songs that are at the bottom of the list, but that does not mean that they are a terrible song by any means.
Moving Up: The Solid, But Not Spectacular
These are the songs that are good, solid tracks, but they don't necessarily stand out as essential Midnights listening.

The production is slick, the lyrics are clever, and Taylor's vocals are on point. But it just lacks that certain something that would elevate it to the next level. Maybe it's a bit too repetitive, or the melody isn't quite as memorable as some of the other tracks. Whatever the reason, it's a good song, but not a great one. And [Insert Another Song Title Here] is another example. It has a cool, atmospheric vibe and some interesting lyrical ideas. But it feels a bit underdeveloped, like it could have been fleshed out a bit more. It's a promising track, but it doesn't quite reach its full potential. That can happen sometimes, where the song just doesn't quite get the justice it needs. But these songs are still fun to listen to and rock out to, in your own car!
