Sorry, Hayley Williams and Fall Out Boy: Marjorie has stolen the show again. Not that Taylor Swift’s beloved grandmother actually puts in a vocal appearance from the great beyond, as she did on the “Evermore” album three years ago. But Marjorie Finlay still manages to be a dominative force in the Vault Tracks for the newly released “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version),” by having her photos appear throughout the lyric video for the closing track, “Timeless,” and having her relationship with Taylor’s granddad be a focus of the inspirational ballad. Twenty-first-century pop-punk or emo can hardly compete with that emotional a capper.

But for those less sentimentally inclined, Paramore’s singer and Fall Out Boy’s Patrick Stump will be way up there in what Swift fans immediately take away from the six previously unheard compositions that have been appended to the previous 16-track running order of 2010’s “Speak Now.” The duet with Williams, “Castles Crumbling,” is particularly pungent, as a lament that just about could have been an outtake from the more recent “Folklore” or “Evermore” instead of an album that came out a full decade before those. As for the FOB-aided track, it’s the farthest thing from a Swift classic. But — having been written, like the rest of these tracks, when the artist was 18 or 19 — the number does hark back to an era when girls (and Fall Out Boys) could just wanna have fun.

A more careful inspection of the 16 re-recorded tracks will have to wait, since the details of what feels the same or different bear a certain amount of forensic analysis, or at least repeated A/B comparisons. (Of course, the whole world has just done an instant side-by-side of the altered lyrics of “Better Than Revenge” — see our story about that here.) But before we figure out how more or less haunting the new “Haunted” is, here are insta-reactions to the six never-before-heard tunes.

“Electric Touch”: Although the recreations of the 16 original songs credit Christopher Rowe as Swift’s co-producer (filling in for O.G. producer Nathan Chapman), when it comes to the six Vault Tracks, Swift splits those producing collaborations between her two modern-day mainstays, Aaron Dessner and Jack Antonoff. Neither guy gets to do anything either as modern-sounding or eccentric as they have on Swift’s last few albums — they stay true to the stylistic spirit of 2010, for the most part, with the organic pop-rock band sound she favored at the time. “Electric Touch” is probably the least immediately interesting song here, compositionally; it lacks any of the truly great, peculiar lines that mark a Swift song as unmistakably hers (or “Mine”). Yet embedded underneath the hopeful, anthemic and — honestly — somewhat generic rock veneer is a lot of the pessimism and self-doubt that goes so far toward making Swift our most relatable superstar. “I’m trying hard not to look like I’m trying,” Stump sings, stealing some of 19-year-old Taylor’s lines, “’cause every time I tried hard for love it fell apart.” It’s the uneasy tension between luck and predestined loss that gives this one a little tension amid the breeziness, before it tips on the side of even the losers getting lucky sometimes.

“When Emma Falls in Love”: Dessner is at the co-reins again on this one, but this time leading things off with a lilting piano that lends the song a childlike spirit. On the scale of sweet songs about fictional girls that have Swift doing a little third-person projecting, “Emma” is close to being up with there with “Betty.” “She’s the kind of book that you can’t put down / Like if Cleopatra grew up in a small town / And all the bad boys would be good boys / If they only had a chance to love her.” Any chance this could actually be about a small-town gal from Reading, Pennsylvania? Nah, because Emma makes all the right moves and figures out that’s how you get the boy. It has a happy ending right out of “Love Story,” but by the time of making what was her third album, Swift was feeling like she had to assign something that cheerful to an alter ego.

“I Can See You”: Well, now, here is a groove. Jack Antonoff comes on board for the first time on the revamped album, and you might have to look to “1989’s” “Style” to find another song in the Swift catalog that benefits as much from the simple electric funkiness of a well-played rhythm guitar. (This particular riff sounds especially fine in headphones, landing just off the beat and bouncing between ears ever so slightly.) Swift never had an office job, but must have attended Take Your Daughter to Work Day just enough to wonder what it’d be like to seduce a guy in a suit and tie. “I could see you up against the wall with me,” she sings — because she knows places you two can hide, and they’re just around the corner from the copy machine!

“Castles Crumbling”: As mentioned, this sounds like a flash-forward to the Swift Songbook of 2020, and surely would have had a different production in 2010 than it gets now with the artist and Antonoff updating as a more modern mood piece. Williams is her duet partner on this one, and it recalls Swift’s vocal collaboration with Phoebe Bridgers on the previous “Taylor’s Version” just a little, in that both this song and “Nothing New” have her writing about foreseeing the end of her fame, or at least her acclaim. In a way, its paranoia prefigures the defensiveness against a fan base she sees turning on her that would come to real fruition in later years on the “Reputation” album. But in another sense, this is the less chin-up mirror image of “Mean,” a song that obviously did make the original “Speak Now.” “Mean” had her bucking up against a blogger who told her she “can’t sing,” and in this number, it’s as if she imagines a whole nation of fans as that blogger, turning backs on her. It’s like she’s following that maxim about imagining the worst and you won’t get disappointed.

“Foolish One”: A strummed acoustic guitar starts this one, and although a bit of drum programming soon kicks in that probably isn’t what Nathan Chapman would’ve done, it still belongs distinctly to the turn of the decade it came from. As with “Electric Touch,” this teeters back and forth between possible optimism about the outcome of a relationship and fatalism, but lands on the side of one-sided love doomed to go to heck in a handbasket. It still sounds impossibly cheerful, in the way that Swift’s falsetto tips up at the end of lines, as is so often her trademark, with a final realization: “He just wasn’t the one.” What’s with this gentle acceptance, for a singer we want to obsess over scarves forever?

“Timeless”: The most truly “organic”-sounding of all the bonus tracks on this new edition — it has ukulele and flute floating in the background behind those acoustic guitars and organs — “Timeless” is a ballad you can imagine Swift having considered for a “Speak Now” album-closer at the time, instead of the brotherhood-of-the-road anthem “Long Live.” Most of the initial lyric videos Swift put up on YouTube have visuals of the static or circular screen-saver variety, but this one is the exception, consisting largely of a lot of photographs of Swift’s grandparents, modeling a great love she believes would have happened in any era, falling just shy of putting in an endorsement for reincarnation. It’s not the emotional tour de force that the song “Marjorie” was — there’s no otherworldly soprano reaching out from beyond the grave to jerk your tears, here, and good, since fans can only handle so much of that in one lifetime. But the grandmother’s solely visual cameo may still ply misty from you.

Can’t believe I was able to snap these photos 🥲 Arlington TX, 4/1 (Night #2 aka the night of THREE Death By A Thousand Cuts bridges)

I’ve been a fan of Taylor’s since 2007. She has the same first name as me, and for a long time I hated how common it was. Every year there were at least 1 or 2 other Taylor’s in my class. And I was never the Taylor people called out to. I felt totally invisible.

Then one day driving home from school I turned on the radio and heard the first chorus of Teardrops on My Guitar and fell in love. “Who is this?” I thought. I’d never heard this singer. Once the song was over the deejay said it was Taylor Swift, a new artist who’s album just came out a few months prior. That was it for me.

I asked my dad to buy me her Debut CD, and played it on repeat on my little portable stereo in my room. Taylor helped me love my name again. She felt like the friend I didn’t have at that age. She was exactly what little 11 year old Taylor needed that day in 2007.

For years I dreamed of seeing her live. My family could never afford concert tickets, and to be fair my parents also had no idea when she was touring and how to even go about buying concert tickets, and I was never really on the internet until I was about 16 so I didn’t even know when she was touring either. We were all horribly internet-challenged 😅. I even remember when I’d learned she had a concert after the fact, because girls from my school would come in the following school day showing off their merch and talking all about it and just being devastated I missed it. Then when I actually did know she was touring, it was just something we either could never afford, and had no way of getting to said concert 🥲.

And despite never being able to afford merch or attend concerts, I’d still always get the CDs and spend hours just getting lost in the stories Taylor told through her songs. I’ve grown with her these last 16 years. We’ve both been through loss, love, and heartbreak. I don’t think i’ll ever stop listening to her.

I lost “The Great War” for presale tickets to the Eras Tour, and chalked it all up to being another concert I can’t attend. But seeing as how big Taylor has gotten and will continue to get, I decided it’s probably now or never. So, I’m sorry, but I did buy a scalper ticket. I didn’t get any boosts for the presale, and wasn’t picked for any of the second chance sales and what have you, so unfortunately scalpers were my only choice. I don’t regret it, though, because it put me the closest I’ll ever be to Taylor in my lifetime. She put on an amazingly incredible show, one I will never, ever forget.

I got to scream the bridges of “Cruel Summer,” “Champagne Problems,” “Death By A Thousand Cuts,” and “Betty.” I cried while she sang “Marjorie,” the song I can’t listen to without thinking of the loss of my mom. And best of all I got to laugh and smile along with my favorite artist of all time, live and in person 10 ft in front of me for 3 solid hours.

I love you Taylor 💕✨

breath of the wild as evermore

if you’re up on your taylor swift lore, you know folklore and evermore are considered “sister albums” - both written and recorded during the pandemic, released five months apart, with a shared “cinematic universe” of sorts, and both characterized by taylor as getting lost in the woods (artistically) and staying there for a while. all of that is true, but if folklore is a lush forest in summer or high fall, evermore is a forest in late winter - the trees are bare, the world is quieter, and all around are signs of death and decay; yet even still, peeking out from the snow are hints of life returning, of nature in all its persistence gearing up to bloom again.

like MM, BOTW is a game about dealing with the apocalypse, but while in MM that apocalypse is imminent, in BOTW it’s a few generations past, still in living memory for some (like the zora) but for the most part the formative shadow under which the people of the world were raised and which society is just starting to emerge from. (this is a real sidebar, but i’ve always thought MM and BOTW were the zelda games most visibly influenced by ff7; in MM, with the moon hanging over the world, akin to meteor in disc 3; in BOTW, i see the final shot of midgar’s ruins overtaken by nature in every corner of hyrule.) but botw isn’t evermore just because it’s a sister to mm/folklore. evermore is an album of aching grief, not just for things lost but for potentials never realized, for “could-have-beens” that never were, for longing after that which was once in your reach but no longer is; “we could just ride around / and the road not taken looks real good now.” i think the champions’ fates are among the most haunting of any zelda characters; they were all brilliant and talented, in their primes, leaders in their communities, brave and true with full lives ahead of them, and they all died horribly, trapped and alone. whether or not mipha’s feelings for link were requited or not, she’ll never know, and link will never have the chance to respond one way or another; “i guess i’ll never know / and you’ll go on with the show”.

evermore is also an album about figuring out who you are (or are going to be) after a loss: “and in the disbelief / i can’t face reinvention/ i haven’t met the new me yet.” in botw, this theme is prevalent on both an individual and a societal level; link spends the game both learning who he was before and who he is now, through finding old memories and through making new ones, and likewise hyrule is rebuilding itself, trying to figure out what it’s going to become, but that future kingdom hasn’t quite taken shape yet (nor have it’s tears- sorry for the pun, i’ll stop now). “there is happiness / past the blood and bruise / past the curses and cries / beyond the terror in the nightfall.” yet people are relentless in their persistence, their determination to keep going, to create life out of a wasteland of death; and through the tarreytown quests the game makes you a party to this, makes you and link engage with the way humanity refuses to be stamped out. “oh, i can’t / stop you putting roots in my dreamland / my house of stone, your ivy grows / and now i’m covered in you.”

here’s the part where i say, full disclosure: i played BOTW in the weeks before and months after my grandmother’s death, and for me that game is inextricably tied to my grief. on evermore, taylor has a song grieving her grandmother (see “marjorie”, pack tissues). i don’t believe that’s why i think evermore is BOTW, and i think i’ve proven that here, but it’s be naive of me to think there’s no connection going on in my subconscious because of that.

another difference between MM/folklore and BOTW/evermore is in the pacing; even though both albums are roughly the same length, folklore feels very tightly paced, extremely sonically coherent, with one clear central vision. evermore is a bit more meandering, more experimental, more willing to sit in silence and sadness and watch the frozen landscape for a while. it still plays with different characters and fictional storylines (and like in MM, link/the player spends a lot of BOTW in the role of observer), but they’re not as interwoven as those on folklore; likewise, in BOTW the characters are spread far and wide across hyrule instead of largely gathered in clocktown, their lives are far less intertwined, and while the NPCs do all have scheduled trajectories of sorts they’re far less strict or significant than those of MM. (also of note; while in folklore, the “teenage love triangle” of songs - cardigan, august, and betty, each from the point of view of a different character from the same love triangle - has resolution, a degree of closure, and some real catharsis on “betty”, the evermore equivalent, ‘tis the damn season and dorothea, have no resolution or closure or catharsis of any kind. unfulfilled, just like the champions’ lives and potential.)

all of these themes and ideas are also summed up within one BOTW character: zelda. unfulfilled potential is the name of the game with her, as she’s constantly told she’s a failure for her inability to unlock her powers, while also being shut off from all her research, her potential as a scholar and any potential discoveries her passion could have led her to, and any lives that knowledge might have saved. (in age of calamity, we learn that zelda’s research into technology could and would have been able to save at least some lives, but the canon of that game is questionable, and regardless BOTW zelda doesn’t know any of that because it never happened; she’s just left with the possibility that maybe she could have uncovered something, but no certainty.) zelda’s grief goes without saying, as we see her breaking down in flashbacks, and her longing - for her powers, to be a scholar, to not be a princess, to be free of the burden of prophecy - is everywhere. (not to mention, the game opens with link hearing zelda’s voice but unable to reach her; whether you interpret their relationship as romantic or not, the whole game is framed with a longing for something you can’t reach). and the persistence of hyrule in surviving and rebuilding despite the calamity is reflected in zelda’s persistence in holding ganon at bay for a whole century; and, in the “true ending” scene you get for unlocking all the memories, we see her already making plans for hyrule, for where to go next and how to move forward.

there’s a lot more i could say, but i’ll end with the final track of evermore, fittingly named “evermore”, which i think sums up the themes of this game so well: “and i couldn’t be sure / but i had a feeling so peculiar / this pain wouldn’t be for / evermore.”

addendum: ah, crap, i meant to write something about the champion’s abilities as representation for still feeling the presence of loved ones after they’ve passed, and “if i didn’t know better / i’d think you were still around / i know better / but i still feel you all around”… ah well, it’s long enough as it is

Hey! I wanna get to know my Swiftie mutuals. Tell me your top 5 songs and albums from her. Feel free to go into depth/explain if you'd like!

hey!!! meowdy! ( yup, i read your bio and agree) nice to meet you! i'm sorry for all my lore but it is hard to talk about things i love without bringing personal matters with it. i feel like i can talk about taylor lyrics without trauma dumping so i am truly sorry for the things i wrote. but since you said you want to know your mutuals here i go!

TOP ALBUMS

1 - folklore: it is such an ethereal experience for me. i love how all the stories in it are connected in some way and the way she could create so many details for all the characters tbh i feel like i could have been any one of them and in some ways i am. i love how every song feels like summer rain, is comforting and vulnerable. i was the first album of her that i felt i could relate to 100%. is my all time favorite.

(now the positions after folklore vary depending of the day for me so i may change them later)

2 - the tortured poets department: i know is new and everyone is freaking out about it but for me that's one of the most honest pieces of music i have ever listen to it. i keep caught on all these debates about to whom she wrote it but is so stupid because these songs were never about anyone BUT taylor. she could have dated anyone and still wrote these masterpieces, it isn't about a man, it is about taylor swift. and she put SO MUCH of her heart in it that i can feel it. all that anger, all that pain, all that fear it all came from her. she is the artist. i know some critics say is easy to write 31 songs if they all look similar (haters gonna hate is so fucking true) but for me as an inspiring artist is a relief to know you can create different things about the same topic and don't feel ashamed about it. you can write about the same theme a thousand times and guess what? it can be a thousand times different because it will be a thousand different parts of yourself. everything about ttpd is so beautiful ( plus dead poets society references makes it perfect bc is my favorite movie)

3 - evermore: follows the folklore aesthetic and vibes. marjorie? champagne problems??? tolerate it???? Does she have a hidden camera in my backpack or something?

4 - speak now: i'm nineteen wtf she wrote something like THAT when she was nineteen?????? this album is so magical, It has some of the fantasy she later put on folklore and evermore but with more joy and cheerful melodies. listening to speak now is like opening my favorite book over and over. i wish i could be emma falling in love and i wish to live a timeless love and i wish i could sing long live with my friends/found family after winning a battle. i just love it all so much and never grown up? i listened to it when i was packing my things to move out of my hometown so you can imagine how much i relate to it. castles crumbling is also so close to my heart because i constantly feel i'm burning bridges and fucking things up. so yep all these fears of loneliness and failure goes present in this album goes deep .

5 - midnights: as a HUGE fan of the moon ( the moon is my true soulmate and i don't care if it "just a sattelite"or a "bunch of rocks and dust glued together" because guess what? i'm also a bunch of universal dust glued together) the whole celestial aesthetic of the album hits me like a train. all these confessions, these letters, these maniacal thoughts i have after the sun sets are not only mine. i love how she hugged me through these lyrics and showed me that everyone is haunted by ghosts after midnight. but the night time isn't just a place for nightmares, there is also hope, and joy and good dreams.

TOP SONGS

1 - mirrorball : since the first time i listened to it all i could think about is "someone finally sees me"

2 - the archer: she saw right through me. i am so scared of being seen because if someone sees me, if someone truly knows me it would hurt 1000 times more being rejected by them.

3 - you're on your own, kid: i lost all my friends after high school, literally no one of the fucking people i used to talk to every day and go to their houses and remember their birthdays. all of the people i used to open up to, the people i used to cry and laugh with just didn't reach out anymore and i know it is half my fault but it made me realize how truly alone i am as a human. It doesn't matter how much you connect with someone you are always on your own at the end of the day and she literally summarized that feeling in a fucking song.

4 - i can do it with a broken heart: because you still can be a mirrorball even when the ones you built the show for have left.

5 - the lakes: dead poets society vibes and i'm also a poet and i also want to run away.

6 - renegade: (you asked for 5 but here is a bonus track for you haha <3) i sing that song is a platonic way because it translates so much of my relationships with my friends and family. i sing along thinking about them and i know they could sing thinking about me because of trauma and miscommunication is such a top topic in all that.

this is a swiftie post, do not derail etc.

I've already done this kind of poll once before but I wanted to do an updated version for funsies since I feel like my ranking has changed around a little!

#taylor swift

[call-me-maggie13]

If anyone is wondering what the United States Navy listens to on deployment, I will tell you. It is mostly @taylorswift. There’s a little bit of Disney music and some country songs, but it’s mostly Taylor Swift.

Now picture this: the scariest man you know, big and mean and scary, screaming and crying and singing Marjorie into a mop handle. Now picture 20 or so young men choreographing a dance routine to Style. In their uniforms. Now picture a guys vs. gals dance-off to I Forgot That You Existed.

My chief would yell at anyone who tried to play a non-Taylor’s version of any of her songs. We would argue about the best Taylor ballads during watch and had album release parties the day after folklore and evermore dropped. You have not lived until you have dissected Taylor Swift song lyrics with four grown men in dress blues while an officer tries to redirect us. Nothing will ever compare to my SLPO sending us home early because he found out she was releasing folklore and he needed to “emotionally prepare” himself (he bought three bottles of wine).

I know everyone assumes we talked about sports or whatever but you can’t really keep up with those in the middle of the ocean, so we spent a lot of time listening to music because there are only so many stories a person can tell. Unless you’re Taylor Swift, then there’s a never ending supply.

These are the people the US government has defending the country.

One of my buddies just got back from deployment and she’s a submariner so they really really don’t get any news from outside the boat and she sent me a multitude of snaps of her reacting to midnights and the eras tour. There was a lot of screaming and crying and curses. I have never been happier to be out of the military than I was when I realized she has to catch up on the last six months of Taylor lore and Easter eggs.

#the United States Navy is a swiftie #I can confirm #I was in the United States Navy #the only thing everyone could agree on was that Taylor is the music industry #my SLPO took off the day after she released folklore for “mental health” #he did the same afte she released evermore #he had a countdown in his office that he refused to tell anyone what it was for #it was for her birthday #there was one guy who said Taylor swift sucked and he got midnight watch every night and extra duty for a week #if you have never heard a grown man shriek over a Twitter post #join the navy #I’m kidding don’t do that #but Taylor #if you’re reading this #the United States military loves you more than our country #if you ran for President the entirety of the military would vote for you #on behalf of the United States military #taylor we thank you for your service #and we give you all of our support #i love you taylor #dr taylor swift #taylor swift #folklore taylor swift #taylor swift evermore #taylor swift eras #taylor allison swift #dr Taylor Allison swift #taylornation #taylors version #not wn related

creating my own eras tour set list, because I can.

let's get one thing straight: I love the eras tour. I haven't been in person, but I went to see the movie, and it was incredible (!!) BUT! I have too much time on my hands, so I thought it would be fun to create my own set list. this will be part one. part one will go in order of the set list, with some songs changed or cut. part two will be in the order of Tay Tay's discography, and I might do a part three, using songs that aren't on the setlist already, to make it a little more challenging. I will also link the Spotify playlists, if anyone is interested! With that being said, let's get into it!

Intro: Taylor Swift Megamix [specifically this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiIRBUiN6Js]

Part One: Lover [keeping at six songs]

Cruel Summer

The Man

Me! [specifically to scream "Hey kids! (state/country/area) is fun!]

Lover

Death By A Thousand Cuts [kind of want it to be acoustic, just Taylor and her guitar.]

The Archer

Part Two: Fearless [sticking to three songs]

Fearless

Love Story/You Belong With Me [like the mashup at the reputation tour.]

White Horse [it's sweet, it's sad, and it's a perfect transition into a sadder era, specifically evermore.]

Part Three: Evermore [updating to six songs]

long story short

Marjorie [the sentimenal value keeps it on here]

gold rush

champagne problems

Dorothea [also on piano because it deserves it]

right where you left me [do I need to explain?]

Part Four: Reputation [reducing to three songs]

...Ready for It? [I love this song too much to cut it, but its my list so I make the rules]

I Did Something Bad [the performance on rep tour was just too good, and as much as I love Delicate, I fell like making this act all bad b energy is perfect]

Don't Blame Me/Look What You Made Me Do [this transition is iconic so I can't remove it]

Part Five: Speak Now [update to three songs]

Mine [iconic intro in my humble opinion, and it was a huge hit]

Enchanted

Long Live

Part Six: Red [reducing to three songs]

We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together

I Knew You Were Trouble

All Too Well [as much as I love All Too Well 10 Min. Version, I feel like it's unnesecary, so the orginal version it is]

Part Seven: Folklore [reduced to 6 songs]

cardigan

mirrorball

Betty

august/illicit affairs [I love the way she sings this, so it stays]

my tears ricochet

the Lakes [but the original version, as the big production works perfectly for the stadium]

Part Eight: 1989 [still 4 songs]

New Romantics

Blank Space

Shake it Off [was the hit, and it's too fun to cut]

Wildest Dreams/Out of the Woods [imagine the bridge transitioning into the opening sounds of OOTW(!!!)]

Part Nine: Surprise Songs [can be repeated as many times as possible]

A song from one of the older albums (specifically Debut)/a song from the vault. [Guitar]

A song from a newer album. [Piano]

Part Ten: Midnights [seven songs this time around]

Anti-Hero

2. Maroon [sexy, somber, one of her best songs, should've been on the set list in my humble opinion]

3. Midnight Rain

4. Vigilante Shit [the choreography is too good and sexy to be cut]

5. You're On Your Own Kid [performed on the piano]

6. Dear Reader [also performed on the piano]

7. Bejeweled [because she can still make the whole place shimmer]

And there we go! Debut is not on here, but it will be on part two! And here's the Spotify playlist!

[bellamysgriffin]

i’ve been thinking about it a lot and part of why i was relatively disappointed with midnights is because i think taylor swift has taken a step back musically. making an album like midnights is in some ways a regressive choice. not only has she returned to pop, a genre which i (controversially) think doesn’t necessarily suit her voice and sound the best and also exacerbates her main musical weakness i.e. repetitive melodies, she’s also heavily returned to super diaristic song-writing.

taylor has often complained a lot about the media’s involvement in her life, and this is not me blaming her for that in any way, but i do think a lot of it sprung from how heavily all her music was based on her personal life and the ways in which she gradually encouraged that more and more often. reputation is more fun to listen to if you know the details of her personal life, that’s just true! lover is the first album in which she loosely starts experimenting with writing songs that have nothing to do with her life -- death by a thousand cuts, it’s nice to have a friend, potentially cruel summer. 

folklore and evermore, to me, are by far her best work, and a real breakthrough and turning point within her musical career. taylor swift is first and foremost a talented lyricist, but with this album, she revealed herself to be a talented storyteller -- when she no longer felt burdened to only retelling her own narrative. so that’s how we get the points of view of a high school love triangle, a song about rebekah harkness, about a woman whose husband left her for another woman, about war, about addiction. she leans farther into this in evermore: we get a rejected proposal, a woman who murders her best friends killer, a song about divorce, about hooking up with your hometown ex when you’re home for the holidays. even the songs that are ostensibly about her have a level of universality to them; the specificity in songs like invisible string and marjorie, instead of serving to provide more insight to her personal life end up creating a rich picture that serves a greater, cohesive theme.

midnights, however, is her most self-referential album yet. in order to fully enjoy, you need to know all the details and intricacies of her life. the lyrics are less clever, the narratives less coherent. anti-hero, for example, is (imo) structurally a mess. where revenge songs like mad woman and no body no crime had substance to them, a song like vigilante shit rings hollow when you get over the spectacle of it. what does dressing for revenge even mean? i think her songs about revenge on reputation were far more substantial: i.e. don’t blame me, i did something bad, and this is why we can’t have nice things. lavender haze might be vaguely catchy, but is it really that interesting lyrically if you don’t know about taylor swift’s relationship with the media? you’re own your own kid feels like a grown up fifteen, and it’s one of the better songs on the album, but the references to the burden of fame (of which many are scattered throughout the album) prevent it from feeling as relatable as other track fives. previously, her use of metaphor in songs like peace and especially dancing with our hands tied managed to explore that burden while also being widely relatable and applicable to other situations. 

now, midnights is by no means a terrible album. it’s one of her weakest, in my opinion, but there’s a lot to like about it. taylor swift is a talented songwriter and musician, and she’s never come out with anything that i think is objectively terrible. i do, however, think that it is lyrically weaker than many of her recent stuff, including lover. singles like renegade and carolina gave me a lot of hope for the direction of her future music. but i think by returning to diaristic, self-referential story-telling, not only has she taken a step back creatively, she’s also alienated new fans by rendering it almost inaccessible to anyone who doesn’t know the lore of her life. i say this after speaking to casual listeners/non-swifties who found themselves baffled as to what a lot of these songs are trying to say. in returning to her 1989 roots, i think she’s moved back into the realm of superstardom and less into the realm of artist.

head canons on music artists that alhaitham probably likes to listen to

okay, so alhaitham always has his headphones on and has a music player, right? so here are some of the artists that he most likely listens to. modern time setting ofc lol.

i compiled the songs here in this playlist (will probably add more songs from time to time): what is he listening to?

general head canons:

- he definitely has spotify premium. doesn't tell kaveh about it because it will lead to bickering on why he just didn't get a family plan😞

- he's the type as well to past his time by looking at vinyls and see if there is anything he likes.

- he'll appreciate it if you give him a mixtape or a playlist, because then he can base from the songs that you pick on what you think of him xD

- alhaitham does listen to classical music (as what most people expect him to listen to) but he indulges himself in other genres.

- listens to podcasts as well especially on philosophical topics xD

• taylor swift.

yes, he enjoys listening to the queen herself and especially songs from folklore and evermore. he appreciates the lyricism taylor puts into her songs and it's the language nerd in him that gets fueled whenever he listens to her songs. his top songs are probably the last great american dynasty, august (pls he appreciates the story in the song), illicit affairs (because it connects to august wahaha), willow, champagne problems, ivy (hah dendro things), and evermore. he's not much of a lover album enthusiast but he likes death by a thousand cuts. he's bit of an midnights stan but won't openly admit it or in general, he won't open up about being a nerd for taylor (resisted geeking out about midnights when it came out).

songs from taylor's other albums that he likes:

- fearless (he enjoys the vibes of this song)

- untouchable

- sparks fly

- all too well (10 min vers because hell yeah)

- state of grace (YOU'RE MY ACHILLES HEEEEELLL)

- clean

- new year's day

- my tears ricochet

- marjorie (esp with the background of the song, this song has a place in alhaitham's heart)

- lavender haze (the acoustic version esp)

- maroon

- mastermind

- would've, could've, should've

• the 1975

he likes how they convey emotions in their songs in not a sappy way but more raw and mature. songs like sincerity is scary, mine, and i couldn't be more in love is definitely somewhere his top listens.

other songs by the 1975:

- human too

- chocolate

- she's american

• arctic monkeys

not so surprised but he likes the mood of what arctic monkeys gives. mardy bum, science fiction, black treacle is his go to pick. but he does enjoy listening to each of their albums, especially when he's just doing paperwork.

other songs he likes:

- knee socks

- there'd better be a mirrorball

- 505

• red velvet

yes, boi enjoys a bit of kpop probs because of kaveh blasting it almost on a daily basis. songs from the album 'the perfect red velvet' that has bad boy in it and some of 'the reve festival' finale that has psycho in it. he enjoys the vocals very much in their songs (most defo a wendy stan). likes most of the songs if it is the velvet concepts of the band (meaning they're more on darker themes). also another artist he wouldn't be open telling others that he likes xD

kaveh doesn't know he likes red velvet so he just keeps quiet about it.

songs from red velvet he likes as well:

- la rouge

- eyes locked, hands locked

- hello, sunset (guilty pleasure song for him)

- bye bye (because he's a wendy stan, that one part of wendy in this song blesses his ears)

- one of these nights (probs when he wants to feel something)

- feel my rhythm (yes, he enjoys the mix of classical music with kpop)

- good, bad, ugly (from the same album as feel my rhythm)

wild card songs he likes (basically songs you wouldn't expect he would like but he does):

- out of time by the weeknd

- west coast by lana del rey (another one of kaveh's artists that he got affected by. he can't deny that lana has amazing vocals and is reconsidering if he should try listening to more lana del rey)

- alcohol-free by TWICE (another guilty pleasure kpop song)

- solar power by lorde

- sometimes by ariana grande

- snooze by sza

- boogieman by childish gambino

he certainly spends a lot of time in spotify, that's all i can say. get him to listen to something his taste and he'll try giving it a listen.

i loved you sharing about marjorie. folklore is my dearest one 📿 literally have it in my bio. my tears ricochet always have in shambles. so ex-friend coded.

my favourite vaults from here are also is it over bow and now that we don’t talk. it sounds soo like bleachers, im just a jack antonoff fan i guess. i adore ballads from 1989 i bet this love and you are in love is really what live feels like. 1989 is just so special for me, i’ve been listening it since it’s release. my kind of roman empire youknow. and new romantics my forever favourite 🕯️

im up to talking about taylor swift at any time…

i absolutely adore folklore!!!! all of her track five’s are so special to me T_T n my tears ricochet is literally abt that!! in the long pond studio sessions she said that she thought of how your most trusted friend could become the worst person that knows all the ways to hurt you and </3 she’s so real, sadly agh i love that doc <333

i don’t really listen to jack antonoff to be honest T_T but the songs and albums he’s produced for others are so amazing! n i get what you mean i’ve been a taylor swift fan since fearless (i found out about her thru TS but im not the biggest country fan :x but then it grew on me later) wah sry this is long but i’m so in love with her n her music T_T

what songs would you recommend to someone who wants to listen to taylor swift?

ah, the age old question that's plagued society for centuries! tbh i'm tempted to say that people who want to get into taylor's music should start with her debut album and work their way up. i believe that experiencing her discography in order allows people to truly understand how she has evolved as both a person and artist. however i totally get that most people don't have time for a deep dive, so i'll share highlights from each album that you can check out :]

debut - tied together with a smile, should've said no, cold as you, mary's song

fearless - fearless, fifteen, love story, you belong with me, breathe, forever and always, you're not sorry

speak now - sparks fly, the story of us, dear john, haunted, enchanted, long live, last kiss

red - state of grace, red, treacherous, all too well, holy ground, sad beautiful tragic, begin again, i knew you were trouble

1989 - blank space, style, out of the woods, this love, clean, new romantics, i know places

reputation - getaway car, delicate, dress, don't blame me, king of my heart, call it what you want, new year's day

lover - cruel summer, lover, cornelia street, daylight, afterglow, the archer, death by a thousand cuts, i think he knows

folklore - the 1, cardigan, the lakes, illicit affairs, peace, this is me trying, seven, exile (honestly this entire album is storytelling and lyricism at its peak which is why it's my favorite)

evermore - champagne problems, gold rush, happiness, evermore, cowboy like me, ivy, marjorie, dorothea, coney island

midnights - anti hero, labyrinth, the great war, mastermind, you're on your own kid, midnight rain, lavender haze

sleepover saturday

#some of these are my personal faves others are ones the fandom loves #i wanted to get a good mix that isn't too biased haha #anonymous #ask #ask night
