Hamburg was an amazing crowd. So I had a ton of fun. I liked the TTPD set way more than I expected to. Surprise songs kinda sucked specifically for me, but I’m not complaining. TLGAD/Run and Nothing New/Dear Reader. I got TLGAD and NN in Nashville’s main set.
feels like it's been 20 years and also like it could not have possibly been 5 years all at once. wild lol
The whole album is still so good 5 years later. Still my favorite Taylor album. Will definitely be spinning it today!
One of the most vividly memorable album releases of my lifetime. Really feels like the quintessential “pandemic” album to me.
I didn’t listen to NOACF much during the pandemic personally but I would add Fetch The Bolt Cutters and Saint Cloud for me.
For me it's Folklore and RTJ4. Folklore i have continued listening to. RTJ4 was probably my aoty but I have no desire to go back to it now, it is just stuck in the covid era for me.
2020 is the last year when I have extremely strong associations with a lot of albums. Pretty sure if I was making a list of my favorite 20 albums of the decade more than half would be from 2020. I suppose I have the pandemic to “thank” for that. Taylor Swift - folklore Waxahatchee - Saint Cloud Ruston Kelly - Shape and Destroy Nation of Language - Introduction, Presence Jason Isbell - Reunions Phoebe Bridgers - Punisher Westerman - Your Hero Is Not Dead Katie Pruitt - Expectations Ken Yates - Quiet Talkers Perfume Genius - Set My Heart On Fire Immediately Christian Lee Hutson - Beginners The Killers - Imploding the Mirage Charli XCX - how i’m feeling now
I haven't been big on Taylor Swift for a long time but this album hits different and has aged very well.
