there's been so much good music this year I've been concerned that there's gonna be no one left to release music next year haha
she wishes she could write So Yesterday "I'm gonna keep your jeans and your old black hat they look good on me you're never gonna get them back" is totally something Taylor would aspire to write I just looked it up and OMG
Hot take: I am indifferent to this album Songs had moments I found interesting or good, but then they were often mixed with choices I did not like. I think her vocals sounded a bit more ambitious for her. I thought some lyrics were bad but they didn't bother me for the most part. Except when she whines about the drama and crown being taken away. She acts like she was sitting on a golden throne and lost her seat and had to claw her way back or something?? It's like u got a cramp in ur ass and had to readjust ur seat, sis, but ur fine. Chill. I will prob end up taking like 3 or 4 songs off of it and leaving the rest. About 3 or 4 others struck me as bad, and everything else I was indifferent to/wasn't memorable enough for me to remember an opinion about it.
I think I have 5-10 so far, but like almost every pop singer save Carly Rae Jepsen released an album this year
I feel like Lorde released a better version of this record earlier this year. "This is Why we can't have nice things" sounds like it could be on Pure Heroine or Melodrama.
