Can you believe itโs been a week since the flashback started and Love Story (Taylorโs Version) came out?? ๐ฑ We canโt wait to listen to Fearless (Taylorโs Version) in its entirety!
Remember to pre-order the album here! ๐ taylor.lnk.to/fearlesstaylorsversion
taylorโs 8th album folklore is OUT NOW!!!ย http://taylor.lnk.to/folkloreย ๐
okay butโthe thing Iโve always loved about Taylor is that she HAS always been pop. (Yes, even when she was country she was pop.) in my own personal (correct) opinion very, very few people, if any, have used the pop structure and format better than her. And certainly no one showcases its potential for meaning and feeling and heart like she does. And the reason Iโve always loved her pop is because it has all those thingsโmeaning, feeling, heartโbound together in a perfectly constructed FORMAT that is obvious but deeply satisfying. Because the Pop format IS satisfying, itโs just usually, alright often, soulless and empty.
Iโve also loved Taylorโs pop because it always had these WEIRD edges to it, these throwaway lines, these hints at bigger stories she wasnโt telling. And so in addition to the immaculate lines of a pop song came personality and quirk, tiny little magic darts interspersed with the basic, straightforward story of a pop song. โYes I remember what you said last nightโ โa careless manโs careful daughter.โ These are hints at a bigger world or more complicated back story. Her pop songs stick with classic stories as well as formats. They are good and real and true and beautiful and enduring, I think, beCAUSE they are classics but they are not complicated. The hints at bigger stories add richness to them, making this a โbest of both worldsโ situation. You get the fun of a big obvious pop chorus that gets into your head and your bones, that you can sing along to, that captures the rush of an overwhelming feeling. And you get detail. Personality. Specificity.
Now. folklore is not a pop album, at all. of course itโs indie-folk/alternative- okay I donโt fully understand the genre or all its distinctionsโ but I also mean it isnโt a pop album even in spirit. Itโs not straightforward, itโs not diaristic, itโs not telling classic Taylor narratives. What it IS and what I love about it so much is that it is an album that takes the โouterโ moments of her pop songs, the tiny little darts, the hints at bigger stories and blows them up into songs and stories of their own, that may or may not be hers but which exist as their own entity. Sheโs gotten smaller and smaller in a sense, narrowing in on her moments but THIS TIME narrowing in with the intent of building worlds out of the moments. And not just crystalizing the moment or immortalizing it but building a world out of the moment that has its OWN moments. A million worlds. A million moments.
Listening to it, you are asked to bend yourself down and fold yourself in to fit through the crack of Taylorโs previously brilliant throwaway lines so that you can stand up to find yourself in a whole, new, brilliant world that isnโt just Taylorโs anymore (although of course it is.) I am blown away.
I am going THROUGH IT with Taylorโs new album oh my god

in the bridge of style taylor sings โtake me homeโ and she means hER home as in she wants out of this tangled mess of a relationship because in the second verse she sings โtakes me home, lights are off, heโs taking off his coatโ so when they get to the bridge theyโve already been to his house and so in the bridge when she singsย โtake me homeโ she means she wants to go home-home, in this essay i will
