Taylor Swift - Lover (August 23, 2019) Album • Page 115

And it sounds gorgeous

 

she did Gorgeous?

 

Need that Holy Ground rip ASAP

 

Wow Holy Ground

 

I just ripped it from Youtube but I don't know if you want higher quality

 

Sweet. That will definitely work

 

Ohhhh my gosh this version of Holy Ground.

 

How I imagine Taylor flipping through her song choices from Lover and deciding to do London Boy of all things

 

she was doing a session in London she had to Kayla

or she just wants to keep us guessing on how Daylight and It's Nice To Have A Friend will sound live

 

She wasn’t even in London!!! It was recorded in NYC.

 

I just assumed all the BBC sessions were in England but I forgot Justin Bieber did his at his house haha

 

Yea that Holy Ground is stunning. It’s the all time greatest T Swift song too, no easy task.

 

Taylor give me my stripped down tour!! And also what I've heard of the album so far fuels my belief that she should also give me my 90s alt riot grrl album with some of the cool lil shouts she does

 

Looks like you can only do 5 videos per post, here's the last one

 

Edited the video posts with the official BBC videos

 

She should've just gone all in on London boy and been like 'ello gov'nah

 

She already faked a southern accent for 4 years or was it 6

 

She's clearly trying to come for my Queen's impeccable British accent work

 

It’s all just a... blur?

 

Headcanon: Miss Americana is the older sister of the protagonist of Long Live and the stories take place simultaneously.

 

OK, I have spent a lot of time with this album and am ready for my power rankings. I am sure the bottom half of my list has a lot that people will argue with, but I am pretty set with these three tiers. If I were creating the album, I would cut the bottom tier off into bonus tracks and keep it at a cool and collected 12 tracks. Thank you all, goodnight

Lover
Death By A Thousand Cuts
Cornelia Street
False God
Miss Americana And the Heartbreak Kid
Paper Rings

The Archer
It's Nice To Have A Friend
Afterglow
Cruel Summer
You Need To Calm Down
Daylight

Soon You'll Get Better
The Man
Me!
I Forgot That You Existed
I Think He Knows
London Boy

 

All TS albums should be 13 songs.

 

"You Need to Calm Down" is just a fundamentally bad song, imo. Hearing her do it mostly acoustic on that live session really underlined how flawed I think the entire execution is. That in the middle tier and "Soon You'll Get Better" in the bottom tier makes me mad at you, @irthesteve.

 

Honestly, this breakdown is fairly close to how the album shakes out for me, with the big exception being that I do not distinguish between Tier 1 and Tier 2. For me, there are 13 great songs here and 5 that range from pretty good to bad.

I do adamantly disagree with “Soon You’ll Get Better” being Tier 3, however, and I do not care for “You Need To Calm Down” much at all. That one would absolutely be a bonus track for me if I were breaking it down this way.

13 certainly seems to be the magic number of tracks for me with her albums.
