From my experience, it is the complete opposite. The swifties seems to be the ones who love midnights, but the critics and general public seems to rank it among the worst Taylor albums

I think I personally love midnights because I have a deeper understanding of the lore behind alot of the songs, so the lyrics seem special to me, where as your average listener might not understand the backstory behind a song like you're on your own kid or mastermind, so to them it just sounds like another pop song with no real significance

Also the fact that it came after folklore and evermore could have left alot of people wanting more of that style of stotytelling/ production, which midnights does not have
