Time for an updated Taylor Swift album rankette

it has like five good songs. and even of those only Cruel Summer and Cordelia Street are proper good. I do love Calm Down a lot too. but overall - she was creatively off with that one.
Lover is grand, and includes probably the most underrated T-Swift song ever ("False God")

They think a LOT of things...
Well apparently there are Easter eggs and clues and stuff on her website and all that
That's what a Swiffer told me at the RSD queue anyway
Also something about lots of purple merchandise a the moment and Speak NOW is a purple album
So yeah maybe it's anything

Iconic artwork and we see you Miss Taylor and appreciate you and salute you for the blue and pink (I know this is purple but Mopsy doesn't have pink in the palette?!) combination. 🏳️‍⚧️
Now let's schedule the sync
 
1989 is a cute power bottoms classic but reputa is for bad scathing bottoms who drunkenly top.
 
I'll have what joanne is smoking cause I would never rate Reputation ABOVE 1989!
Sweetheart, he’s giving them and six other albums higher than 93%. I don’t think sobriety comes into this.
 
Okay i’m giving Lover a go.
“I forgot that you existed“ is not doing it for me, the generic production just no
 
The run from Cruel Summer though to The Archer is great and then I Think He Knows goes and ruins it :(

I always think of it as a prelude. That, Me! And You Need To Calm Down are all terribly out of place, even though I like/love them all
 
I listened to Lover yesterday and it really holds up :disco:

We can go drivin' in, on my scooter
Uh, you know, just riding in London
Alright
I love my hometown as much as Motown, I love SoCal
And you know I love Springsteen, faded blue jeans, Tennessee whiskey
But something happened, I heard him laughing
I saw the dimples first and then I heard the accent
They say home is where the heart is
But that's not where mine lives
You know I love a London boy
I enjoy walking Camden Market in the afternoon
He likes my American smile
Like a child when our eyes meet, darling, I fancy you
Took me back to Highgate, met all of his best mates
So I guess all the rumors are true
You know I love a London boy
Boy, I fancy you (ooh)
And now I love high tea, stories from uni, and the West End
You can find me in the pub, we are watching rugby with his school friends
Show me a gray sky, a rainy cab ride
Babe, don't threaten me with a good time
They say home is where the heart is
But God, I love the English
You know I love a London boy
I enjoy nights in Brixton, Shoreditch in the afternoon
He likes my American smile
Like a child when our eyes meet, darling, I fancy you
Took me back to Highgate, met all of his best mates
So I guess all the rumors are true
You know I love a London boy
Boy, I fancy you
So please show me Hackney
Doesn't have to be Louis V up on Bond Street
Just wanna be with you
Wanna be with you
Stick with me, I'm your queen
Like a Tennessee Stella McCartney on the Heath
Just wanna be with you (wanna be with you)
Wanna be with you (oh)
You know I love a London boy
I enjoy walking SoHo, drinking in the afternoon (yeah)
He likes my American smile
Like a child when our eyes meet, darling, I fancy you (you)
Took me back to Highgate, met all of his best mates
So I guess all the rumors are true (yeah)
You know I love a London boy (oh)
Boy (oh), I fancy you (I fancy you, ooh)
So please show me Hackney
Doesn't have to be Louis V up on Bond Street
Just wanna be with you
I, I, I fancy you, oh
Stick with me, I'm your queen
Like a Tennessee Stella McCartney on the Heath
Just wanna be with you (ooh)
Wanna be with you
I fancy you (yeah), fancy you
Oh, ah

She put some of her most mature music on the album and then also some of her most childish

I always felt like, until Folklore, she couldn’t leave her previous eras behind with each new album.

Yeah I mean shite like Paper Rings is nice for the Swiffers as curios but they should have been on the 'deluxe' edition in old money

YES. God London Boy is DREADFUL.
It’s like a transition album I could imagine some of these on 1989 or folklore it’s just very disjointed.
 
Yeah I love London Boy and Paper Rings (and like You Need to Calm Down and I Forgot That You Existed). They should just be on a separate album than Cornelia Street, Afterglow, Cruel Summer etc.
 
Album 1
I Forgot That You Existed
Miss Americana...
Death By a Thousand Cuts
London Boy
You Need to Calm Down Me

Album 2
Cruel Summer
Lover
The Man (I wasn't sure where to put this one)
The Archer
I Think He Knows
Cornelia Street
Soon You'll Get better
False God
Afterglow
It's Nice to Have a Friend
Daylight

Maybe I'll make these into separate playlists
 
I like both Paper Rings and London Boy but neither of them should have been on the main tracklistette.

You Need To Calm Down definitely has the Reputation era sound and should have remained there. Although yes I love it too.
 
I Forgot That You Existed remains the most random album opener in history.

it actually has a nice chapter-closing "i'm doing going, I'm on some new shit" vibe to it, especially cause the rest of the album is all about her being so insanely in love with Joe :shy:
