Taylor Swift’s tenth studio album was released at midnight EST and nine pm PST. Naturally, I am writing about it, as I do with any major release the artist does. Midnights had a stir of excitement preceding its release on the 21st of October, and I decided to meet with some of OES’s biggest fans to get an inside look into their reactions to the album.

Hello my little musical goblins, it’s been far too long since I last wrote you, and for that, I’m deeply sorry…but today, the wait is over! I have put (what small bits I have left of) my heart and soul into curating a list of songs that are nothing short of perfect.
