Mighnights feels like Taylor took everything she learned from her past albums and poured it into this one. It has the productions of 1989, rep, and Lover with the songwriting level from RED, folklore and evermore. This album feels like a new beginning for her and it still seems like she's reaching somewhere even higher. I'm so excited and scared at the same time about the music she's going to make in her 30s.

Bigger Than The Whole Sky to me is about a loss in general. Her writing is amazing and people can relate to it in many ways. Losing a child, a fast burning relationship that died too soon, a lost friend or parent. It’s such a beautiful song.

[@ruffboiALT]

Even just the loss of who you were as a kid due to trauma or hardship. Honestly combined with Would've Could've Should've on this album, it makes me feel like she was taking her own losses and the losses of the people close to her, and trying to write a song to express that grief and comfort herself and them?

[@brittanyann9252]

Congrats on the new apartment. I interpreted 'Bigger than the whole sky' different than most people. She uses the lyrics 'would've, could've, should've' in the song and of course we know a couple songs later is the track with that title. So to me it almost felt like she was talking to herself, saying goodbye to a version of herself that she'll never know, because of this awful thing that happened to her. It almost felt like those two songs were meant to be one larger story.

[@jinsstyle]

Wait this makes so much sense

[@breeliang5616]

I thought about this too! Wasn't sure though bc I thought the songs would be about more distinct nights

[@brittanyann9252]

@@breeliang5616 I think you can still see it from the perspective of different nights, because the realization that a very toxic relationship in your life was very wrong, and the realization that you will never be the person you were before that person entered your life could happen at very different times in your life.

Bigger than the whole sky is definitely building up to become one of my absolute favorite Taylor songs, just because the way she describes loss (any kind of loss) is so perfect. I lost a dear love and friend when we where 15 and I’ve never found any song that really captures the feeling just like this one.

[@IndieCindy3]

First off, I’m sorry for your loss. ❤ Secondly, I agree that it’s such a profound song about the loss of anyone…whether it’s a baby, a child, a partner, a sibling, friend, etc. People are speculating that Taylor had a miscarriage and that needs to be taken with a grain of salt because at this point that’s all it is, speculation. With Folklore and Evermore she’s proven that she doesn’t need every song to be autobiographical. I think it’s a testament to how good “Bigger Than the Whole Sky” is that it applies to so many of us for different reasons. For me it was someone whom I loved and cared about but had to let go of. Anyway, if Ash or anyone else cannot relate to this song, I’m honestly happy for her and all of them for not having experienced such a deep loss. I don’t wish that kind of pain on anyone.

[@flxwercxrpse1871]

So I have thoughts on Bigger Than the Whole Sky and her use of "would've/could've/should've'" in that song as well as naming a song that. I think BTTWS can be a lot of things to a lot of people, and for me personally it resonates in the way you mention in the video. And I think regardless of the kind of loss, it's a song that I think can help people grieve. For Taylor, though, she is always so careful with the words she chooses and her tying those two songs together feels purposeful. I feel like maybe the loss she feels is that for a version of her she never got to be. There was an event/person (cough... J*hn) that sent her off on a different path, and she grieves for her girlhood and the person she should have or could have become had he not come into her life. Regardless, it is a beautiful song on just the best album.

i absolutely LOVE the lyricism in this album. i listen to it all the time. the one thing that turns me off from it though is the absence of strong beats. it’s very monotonous. if every song had the dynamic variety of hits different, karma, and lavender haze, the entire album would slap

[@saintkazama]

as someone who doesn't really stan taylor (im a casual listener with all music) and seeing her release WCS when i was groomed online by someone whos possibly older than me it actually makes me feel so seen bc of how much this whole thing affected my personality (was groomed at 16 and im 20 now) i seriously love taylor for this

[@mirandachavez9671]

I saw a TikTok linking Bigger Than The Whole Sky and Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve together as if she was singing about the loss of herself when she went through the unpleasant-traumatic experience of dating John and what followed after that. It kinda reminiscences to previous and recent lyrics where she refers to herself as midnight rain, that all of her has changed and that she still trying to find her old self. I couldn’t find the tiktok but if I’ll link it once I do so.

These videos are my medicine and never fail to pop up when I’m on shaky ground, or the edge of a cliff… Dr. Ash, you’re doing so much good in this wretched world…

[@liammcfarlane13]

Bigger Than The Whole Sky goes right on the list with Ronan and Soon You’ll Get Better. Are they great songs? Yes. Will I die if I listen to them again? Also yes.

[@veerajakamthe3983]

as a Rep/lover/folklore girlie myself, this album HIT on first listen for me. every song calls you in some way, they have their own stories. the album isn't as exciting BUT that's not the point - it is so beautiful to listen and think about. maybe it's because people were expecting something else, but i was expecting Lorde's Melodrama vibe and BLONDIE DELIVERED. there are literally samples of melodrama in this album and i am just. astounded. i just love it, possibly my new favourite taylor swift album of all time.

[@kyrah1618]

so far we’re literally the opposite with favs omgg but i feel like that’s what makes the album like there’s something for everyone

CONGRATULATIONS ON THE NEW PLACE ASHLEY

i love that it looks like you're being resurrected from your bed every time you love a new part

[@jettwithanothert]

i would love to see bigger than the whole sky's loss as her 'girlhood' that she raged during WCS, which is why BTTS has those lines would've been, could've been, should've been... she's mourning for the loss girlhood, and raging for someone because she wants it back. this album has grown on me since the initial listen. the more i listen to it, the more i think i can put something more insights to these tracks.

I liked this album overall, but those downtempo tracks *HIT.* They just *_HIT!_*

[@peymanyaghoubi6560]

My fav song is the Great War , it feels like evermore and it’s my fav album , it’s lyrically a masterpiece , and I love her vocals on the bridge as well

[@notshawnorsean]

FYI the standard edition of midnights dropped at 12 AM ET and the 3 AM version dropped at 12 AM PT. she planned the two to drop based on the east and west coast's relative midnights because of the 3 hour time difference

[@pritvas]

i just cant make a ranking yet BUT my faves are maroon and the great war fr THIS ALBUMS SOUNDS SO DIFFERENT ONCE YOU GET ALL THE BACKSTORIES!!!!!!

[@bensoncheng5935]

There’s so many interpretations for BTTWS, but I’d like to put it in these two ways. 1. It’s about the friend Taylor sang about in “Forever Winter.” I think, because of the re-recording of Red and previous records, Taylor got a chance to relive her past stories. Through the opportunity, she reconnected with her older mindset, and was once again influenced by the leaving of her friend. Growing older in life brought her new thoughts on the loss, which was not presented during the writing of Forever Winter. 2. The experience of losing from someone in her life. Someone close to Taylor underwent the sadness of losing a person in their life, and turned to her to express their feelings. Through the session, Taylor became emotionally attached to the loss. Therefore, she wrote the song as a way of releasing her inner grief. As for other interpretations, I believe it is up to you and your experiences. It’s okay to project your own past on the song and seek comfort out of it. Before ending this comment, I just want to tell everyone, who had gone through or is going through the loss of a crucial part in life, that I am sorry for your loss. Take as much time as you need to. I hope you will feel better or get to a better place eventually.
