hey y’all, back at it with another new release and, i mean, how could i not? taylor IS music culture and tayla IS canon. can you tell i listened to the episode of the las culturistas podcast before listening to this new album? can you tell that they convinced me to not sit on this album and listen to it sooner than 6 months from now? can you tell i’m not sure if i’m enjoying it because i actually like it or because matt and bowen spoke so passionately about it? anyways, it’s taylor being a new but old but new version of taylor (kind of like always) and, despite her being a controversial figure in the pop-cultural zeitgeist, goddamn the girl can smash a catchy tune. oh, and bon iver and the national are involved, which complicates the narrative just enough to pique my interest <3
