It's been a little over a week since Taylor's latest album had released and apart from topping single day album streams on Spotify, more critical feedback has been mixed to positive. I shelved my Swifties membership card after the highs of 1989 after seeing the more darker and edgier Taylor was taking her album Reputation. Coming back to her music with this album was a little jarring seeing the American country sweet heart take on a more east coast artsy vibe. But the music was pure Taylor. Nothing seemed out of place as I moved through the album, it sounded like the same artist I fell in love with many years ago during those late night dissertation write ups. Back then I even wrote her in my acknowledgements.
It is a long album. A little too long for my tastes so a lot of songs did blend together so it was difficult to find a place to stop and recollect my thoughts fully. It's still too soon to see whether any songs will make it into any playlists but there is certainly potential there!
What are JA's thoughts on Taylor's new album?
