She dipped that quill in a glitter ink bottle for this one
Lowkey psychic moment
Taylor Swift is more than just the artist of our generation, she is one of the great American poets.
No specific order, these are my favorites
Guilty As Sin?- the end of the bridge where it’s just this beautiful chorus of Taylors singing in harmony, kinda like in Don’t Blame Me but like this beautiful dreamy version of it, and the long drum fill before perfectly jumping back into the original rhythm? Literally makes the whole song
So High School- this is a rock song, this is something that if I heard sung by a young Paul McCartney, I’d believe was a Beatles song. Incredibly clever lyrics and such a fun, happy song
But Daddy I Love Him- The parellels to Love Story are so incredible, and with one of the catchiest choruses she’s ever written! Also love the lyricism in this one sooo much, the epitome of girlish and yet badass at the same time
Peter- the first one I attempted to play on piano and sing just to feel that chorus in my chest, I’ve never experienced the relationship between Taylor and this muse but I can still feel the yearning in that chorus’ melody
Who’s Afraid Of Little Old Me?- this was actually the first one that made me cry (I was stoned of my rockers for the first listen, it was celebratory) I couldn’t believe how transparent and real she was being, and it was so sad to think that she feels like a monster because that’s how people have made her feel. It’s such a great song
I Can Do It With A Broken Heart- once again the transparency, I’ve never experienced another modern artist who was so deeply telling about their personal and intimate experiences. It is the most fun song on the album and the lyrics are so hilariously delivered. It’s like Bejewled (Taylor’s Version)
The Black Dog- I love the premise of the song, what a great thing to write about! Incredible lyrics, I love how she can just make normal conversation fee so natural in a melody. She just took a single thought she had, “how do you not miss me in the black dog?” And then sang it to the first chord she played, and made it a chorus, and THEN tells a whole imaginary story of what she sees when she puts herself in the scenario as a bystander. “When someone plays the starting line, and you jump up, but she’s too young to know this song” it’s just a whole train of thought set to a melody, and the end of the chorus is equally significant, closing the thought out so we’ll “old habits die screaming” there is so much volume in that statement. Easily a masterpiece
Those are my favorites and a few words about them sorry there are 2 extras!

Back in grade school the teachers were so stern about not using Wikipedia but my college professors now have said that Wikipedia is one of the more reliable sources so I don’t know what to believe
Grade school teachers really made Wikipedia sound like urban dictionary
People get offended when you call yourself divine or mystical because they assume you’re full of yourself. They think you’re trying to place yourself above others. They think belief in oneself is a threat to them.
What they don’t understand is that they are divine too. God is everywhere. By embracing my divinity I hope to help you find the Mysticism of the Universe within you. Its beautiful and unique expression. But I can’t do that if I’m not practicing what I preach.
We have been too socially programmed to believe conformity and repression is a virtue.
It sucks being brought up to believe you live in the “good guy” country just to get older and find out that you actually live in the “bad guy” country

So High School is…a rock song….it’s a rock song.
Doing something bad and doing something illegal aren’t always the same
Some real bad shit is legal. A lot of illegal shit isn’t necessarily bad. It’s all control
No one deserves to miss out
