Taylor Swift’s folklore
What an album! It is super obvious that Taylor Swift has really found her voice on this! This was the first album that I noticed had an E for explicit lyrics warning on it. I found out why in the first line of the first song. But then came ‘mad woman’ and I am not… →

“Lover”—Not What I Expected
I finished “Lover” this afternoon and I must say, it was not what I was expecting. From the album title to the description in the book I’m reading, I kind of thought it would be full of songs about being happy in love. Yet, there were songs on there that were very surprising and very… →

Thoughts on Reputation
O.k., first of all, the cover to this album says it all…Taylor with full on resting bitch face next to what is clearly a tabloid with her name all over it. You know right away this album will be showing off her DGAF attitude about what people say about her. And omg! How right I… →

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… →

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… →

On Second Thought
What’s your favorite word? I’m going to contradict myself on this one today. Recently the prompt asked us about a word we would give up. I wrote about giving up the F word. My logic was that Taylor Swift doesn’t use words like that to destroy people with her lyrics, so as a writer, maybe… →

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… →
