• 1989–Deluxe Edition

    I just finished 1989, the deluxe version. I really liked this one! It is definitely a complete transition to pop music. At one point as I was listening, I wondered, how do Swifties prepare for a new album? Like, what are y’all doing right now to prepare for October 3rd? I’m listening to these songs…

  • Red—Taylor’s Version

    I finished the TV of Red today. I’m feeling the time crunch. Only a couple more weeks of September and then her new album will be coming out. I think the Taylor’s Versions are slowing me down. But from what I understand, there’s only one more. For 1989. After that it’s all her originals, I…

  • The Journey Continues—Red

    Earlier today I finished Taylor Swift’s Red, the OG version. I decided to start keeping a list of my favorite songs as I come across them. I put four from this album on the list. Technically, five. I skipped ahead to the 10-minute version of “All Too Well” and so both versions are on the…

  • Red Flags and Pearl Clutching

    I was continuing my journey through Taylor Swift’s albums yesterday. When I came to the song…the one so many Swifties told me they couldn’t wait until I heard. There it was. “All Too Well”. I listened to the original version. Then, on the advice of the Swifties who warned me about it, I skipped to…

  • Speak Now—Taylor’s Version

    I powered through the TV of Speak Now today! I am so determined to get to her later albums that everyone keeps telling me are the best. I will admit that I cheated a little bit with this one. For most of the songs that were on the OG album, I only listened to the…

  • Taylor Swift—Speak Now (the OG)

    I finished Speak Now today and I’m pretty sure my fate as a Swiftie was sealed with this one. Her first two albums are really good, but I guess I am too far past the love lorn, first love, intense crush phase of my life to really feel connected to the songs. From the fans…

  • Destroyed With Lyrics and Pretty Music

    If you had to give up one word that you use regularly, what would it be? I’ve grown quite fond of the word represented by this picture. I like it and I have been using it a lot more liberally over the last year. That is not to say I didn’t use it when I…

  • Fearless–Taylor’s Version

    I’m back from my trip to Chicago and have finally finished “Fearless-Taylor’s Version”. I listened to a few songs in the airport on the way to Chicago last week, but just now finished the rest in my backyard, where I generally feel the most inspired. As usual, I have thoughts! And questions! First, I wrote…

  • Taylor Swift’s Album “Fearless”

    What I’m doing—listening to all of Taylor Swift’s albums in chronological order for the first time. My deadline is October 2nd so I can experience her new album on the 3rd with the rest of her fandom. I just finished listening to “Fearless” and I can definitely tell the transition to a more pop sound…

  • It Was Everything

    The Katy Perry concert was everything I needed it to be. Originally, that was going to be my entire post, along with a video I took of her singing “Roar”, which is the one song that compelled me to buy the tickets back in March. But, I’ll say a little more. It was absolutely amazing!…
