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.
