Guilty as Sin is sooo catchy btw.

Omg yes. To finish on that last line…. *chefs kiss*I go back and forth on the inclusion of The Alchemy. Half of me thinks it's misplaced on this album and it only exists to throw Travis a bone. Half of me thinks she wouldn't have put this album out of she couldn't include a happy ending.
It would have been very powerful to end on Smallest Man.
I think the Vault tracks have probably stroked her ego quite a lot. She has a reputation (lol) to uphold now.The second half has a lot of similar songs (piano) and I genuinely love them all but it's too much of the same together. There isn't a bad song on there though.
I have never said "folklore is my favourite album" because I didn't have one but I thought of it as a masterpiece. I didn't have everything I loved from Taylor though, so maybe that's why it was never my favourite.
The only thing wrong with the anthology is that there's too much Aaron on the second half (and maybe too much Aaron in total). But aside from the order of the songs I don't think I would have changed anything really. It's very very long, but it's also full of beautiful songs so.
i reckon we're just gonna get super long albums from her now. Most albums and songs are shorter now (I feel like 19-20 songs was common in the 90s?). 4 mins max and 15 songs max. But Taylor has broken the mold so many times she doesn't have to worry about what her contemporaries are doing. She always has so much material that is album worthy. Maybe it'll get tedious eventually (for everyone).
I didn't have one. Until now.I think the Vault tracks have probably stroked her ego quite a lot. She has a reputation (lol) to uphold now.
What is your favourite album BTW? I can't believe I don't know this information.
I can’t cope with all these potential Matty song revelations lolWhoever mentioned no Matty songs in Rep or Lover, I present you this potential connection:

Agreed. I’ve had it on all day yesterday and the 1st half has grown on me! I felt the same way with Midnights and the1989 vault tracks. The synth tunes are never going to be my all time favourites (my current most played TS song is daylight) but this album is lyrically gorgeous and I went to bed just chanting FLORIDAAAAAAThe album improves for me with every listen. Personally, I prefer Anthology over the first half. I think her lyrics and song writing is potentially better on the second half
I’m an evermore girlie and sonically the second half blends in to one for me so it’s taking ages to digestShocked by the poll results at the moment. I expected the folklore and evermore girlies to be all over this - does it fall short for you too?
I think the 1975 song is about her but I don't think death by a thousand cuts is about him, thankfully. It was 2019, so a year before theirs. She had said at the time it was inspired by a Netflix movie (can't remember the name of it) and it fit it so well (I had watched it the week before reading this).Whoever mentioned no Matty songs in Rep or Lover, I present you this potential connection:

I think it would have ended similarly but for different "reasons". Their relationship didn't not work out because of her fans, it was never going to work, just like it never worked out in the past.I think she thinks that he ghosted her because of the added scrutiny that was caused by her fans trying to find everything he has ever done or said wrong (feel like the way I worded doesn’t reflect how bad some of the stuff he said and has done is)
Honestly would have been interesting to see how far they’d end up going if that hadn’t happened
