Young Me and the Albums I Loved
What’s your all-time favorite album? This is a tough question to answer. My mind immediately jumped to two albums with this. But the thing is, neither one of them are my favorites. I thought of them because they are two albums where I don’t skip any songs when I listen to them. Every single song… →

The Soundtrack of My Life
What would your life be like without music? My life without music would not be the same. Music heals, music saves. Music is what got me through the huge change in my life last year. When I decided to quit my toxic job and the trauma that made me ultimately leave, it was music that… →

1989–Taylor’s Version
I powered through and listened to this entire album today. To be fair, I did what I have been doing…listening to the first minute or so of each song and then moving on to the next one. I usually listen until the chorus. There’s a lot of going back and forth between the TV and… →

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… →
