This re-record is going to cut DEEP 🥲 I remember hysterically crying in my childhood bedroom to this, I don’t know if I’m ready for the full thingBreathe! This was given to tumblr as a sneak peak (not a leak). Sorry for spamming this thread by the way!
Just to add to this I think her saying they were fiction was her way of avoiding the “who is this song about” thing that comes with every album. In the long pond sessions it was kind of obvious that loads of them had at least parts of autobiography. That came across for the descriptions of This is me trying and hoax especially.I think both are a mix of both. the last great american dynasty, my tears ricochet, mirrorball, seven, peace etc on folklore and long story short, right where you left me, it’s time to go and willow etc on evermore are all definitely rooted in truth and her own experiences. there’s definitely plenty of songs that are fictional though, more on evermore I think.
Omg I thought it was never gonna end my eyes hurt now. My top 3 are predictable and I could have told you without even doing the bloody quizNot sure if anyone would be interested but there's a song sorter where you choose between songs and it will tell you your ranking of Taylor swift songs. Its a bit long winded but if you are interested link below
The Archer is her masterpiece, in my opinionI love Lover. There is a few cheesy ones on there though.
But death by a thousand cuts is a masterpiece (said to be based off the film Someone great, if anyone has seen it)
Cruel summer is brill,can't wait to scream that in a crowd one day.
Cornelia Street- I have actually walked Cornelia street and seen where she lived. Definitely hits me in the feels along with The Archer (one of my fave tracks 5s)
I'm definitely the oldest one here.
I think after folklore that idea of a very young demographic will change. Not by everyone, of course. It's partly Taylor's own doing that people tend not to take her seriously as an artist (through single choice). Everyone here knows the point re misogyny and sexism she's making with shake it off, but to many it just sounds like another one of those songs urging you to dance. I personally found love story too sickly sweet when it first came out.
The sad truth though, is that many people will disregard her as credible because she's a young (31 is still young (to me)), white, beautiful woman who came from a pretty privileged background.
She also had some boyfriends in her late teens/early 20s - this automatically means no man is ever gonna take her seriously enough to want to settle down. She's spoiled goods. And she likes to complain about things. Beautiful women need to just stop talking. And be sexy, but not actually have a sex life. God no.
And there are sadly many people who might think some of her songs are good, but will automatically assume she didn't write them. Or that she has songwriting credits, but that the real work was done by her male collaborators.
Oh and the best one. She bought her grammy. OR that the only reason she won was racism. I'm very annoyed that the weeknd was snubbed in the nominations (for playing the superbowl) because it slightly cheapens her very deserved win.
This is so hard... I did a track-by-track comparison of both albums and Evermore won by one point though.Do you prefer folklore or evermore? why?
my husband has bought me this scarf. I always mention it when someone speaks about Jake, and it’s like a joke between us. I’m excited!I totally feel like I've fallen for shrewd corporate Taylor's plan, I don't even like stuff cluttering the house and the speakers in my car are rubbish. But it might be handy to have on standby for when there's no radio or internet signal
At least I didn't fall for buying signed "me!" or the £35 100% acrylic scarf
