Yeah... I kind of think this is Taylor's best piece of work. It's not even my favorite (like I probably like evermore, Midnights, and TTPD more than this one) HOWEVER this is such a cohesive piece of art. This is probably my favorite Taylor album to actually listen to as an album and not just songs on my playlist. It's so cinematic. Like there is truly not a bad song and barely even a song I dislike on this album. It is a 10/10 masterpiece by Mother Swift. The original ending on hoax makes so happy. Hoax is an underrated piece of poetry. That bridge?? I think peace may be her most depressing song yet, truly. The fact that Swifties got to experience this in real time during COVID is actually awesome. I wasn't a swiftie back then, but I can only imagine. This album is just connects sadness and storytelling together in such a beautiful way. It is desperately sad while keeping the story going. This album feels like the secret garden in my mind. The writing is truly just so beautiful. "You knew it still hurts underneath my scars from when they pulled me apart but what you did was just as dark, darling, this was just as hard as when they pulled me apart." Like truly what a mind. As a sad girlie I really appreciate that 14.5/17 songs are absolutely, gut-wrenchingly sad. Literally the whole album gets added to every playlist immediately. And I mean truly... just take me to the lakes where all the poets went to die!
