I just fully agree with the take that these songs seem a little almost-finished, that they mostly seem centered on 1-2 cute turns of phrase that she couldn’t quite expand to a full concept. That description you gave hit the nail on the head. I think Aaron Dessner (or her clear admiration for his work) just pushes her to try a little harder to close the loop on some of those thoughts. She clearly has fun with Jack, but it’s A- work now that we know she can do A+ work.

nunu check

i would love to see a renaissance ranking!

Late to listening, but I agree with your takes. I’m by no means a Swiftie. She’s not my favorite musician, I go into each album neutral. I genuinely loved 1989, but this album was boring to me. Ultimately, I don’t find her an interesting vocalist but in the right context she puts together an interesting song. I wish she would have brought in someone other than Jack. He’s a talented producer, but his style is distinct and now feels redundant. I spent release day listening to Carly Rae Jepsen’s new album 🙃 But, to each their own!

Regarding slithering, I’m imagining how some construction equipment has tracks instead of wheels. And like I would love to have a track as a body…..

Omg so funny, my sister and I both did the same thing where we said our fave song at the same time and it was also would’ve could’ve should’ve! By far the best song. The only difference being that I absolutely love the lyric abt girlhood, as someone who at one point was 15 dating a 19 yr old it really spoke to me 😭 love u girlies

I also detest Taylor Swift. Thank you for validating me.

And Claire, I also identify with a deep desire to slither. Thank you for putting words to this visceral evolutionary need. 🤣

There were 4 songs on this album that sound just like songs she’s already released and that just cheapened the whole album for me and felt lazy
