@@RellyMoorer I loved your joke and, honestly, in the video for all the albuns, near the end you said something along the lines "I am not a lover". and I just though - that is a good pun, and unintended

I have to admit, although it took a few listens to get me to this point, TTPD had gone up to being my favourite album of hers 😂 it scratches a specific itch in my brain as an English major. I love all the literary allusions and references, and the chill vibes are definitely more my thing than the bubblegum pop or more upbeat songs 😆 I also wanna say that I love that you went into the deep dives to understand how people are interpreting the song!!! That's such commitment for a non-swiftie and I love hearing your thoughts (even if you don't end up liking the album that much) because I know you actually made the effort to listen and appreciate the lyrics 🙌🏼 Anyway, my top songs in no particular order...

Yeah in my other videos (not sure if you watched those) I basically shared/reiterated that taking a deeper dive into understanding an artist's reason for creating a song makes you appreciate it more.

Since uploading this video the album has definitely grown on me since the first couple of days that I listened to it.

@RellyMoorer oh yes I remember seeing the video where you mentioned that!! And it's especially true with artists like Taylor who are so autobiographical in their songwriting and like to make a lot of references and allusions (Taylor sometimes also samples her own previous work to make connections as well - like the beginning of So Long London after the bell chimes, which sounds like the beginning of Call It What You Want from Rep which was about the beginning of her and Joe's relationship 🥲)

i LOVE that there are 31 songs! the more the better imo lol there's just so many different stories to relate to, and i seriously don't think a single song on this album is a skip.

This album is a grower, but i think you're right that there are too many. I really love Clara Bow because it tells a great story about generations of "It" girls who are are loved, then judged, then replaced, often because they are aging. The fact that she ends it with herself and being replaced by the next It girl shows a lot of self awareness and acceptance that all the fame is fleeting.

I think in a way there are “too many” but the ones that “should have been kept” are different for everyone.

these videos are excellent! the complaints i've seen in general about the album length are so surprising to me considering Red TV has 30 songs on it and no one really cared (but to be fair most average people probably weren't listening to it in its entirety anyways.....) i think casual listeners use "swiftie" when they think it means "a fan of taylor swift's music" but i think this album really is only going to fully resonate with people who specifically love the genre that is ✨Taylor Swift✨ if your favorite songs from her are her top hits like Love Story, Blank Space, and 22-then this album is not for you but if I'd Lie and Permanent Marker went triple platinum in your bedroom and you can recognize any of her songs within the first 3 seconds of them playing then this album is her magnum opus

I am a swiftie and I think that this album is for those who are into poetry and literature in general, the others just will not get it and that's okay. I think it might be hard for some people to distinguish between some songs if you don't analyse stuff that much. And I feel like also knowing Taylor's whole catalogue very well really helps me to differentiate the songs, so if you're not exactly a swiftie and don't know the way she writes, her different habits when making songs etc, I absolutely get it. For me personally, 31 songs is and is not a lot. Of course, it is a lot, but for me, not in a bad way. I really think that all the songs are worthy of the album and I am glad she shared all of them with us. It is a lot in a way that it is a lot to take in and you really need some time with it. Of course, there are songs that I won't be playing as much as others, but they're all good. I don't agree with the opinion that she should've left it just at the standard album, that re-recording and putting out vault tracks spoiled her and now she thinks that every song she makes is worthy of an album... some of the songs on The Anthology part imho definitely better than some of the songs on the standard album. Anyway my top 5 in no specific order: Who's Afraid of Little Old Me, The Prophecy, Cassandra, I Can Do It With a Broken Heart, So High School

The overall production quality is just **chefs kiss** I audibly said “oh no” when you said you were listening to this on a run. 😂 I love this album but a workout mix it is not. My favorite from the album definitely changes day by day but I think my ultimate favorite is “But Daddy I Love Him”. I love Taylor going off on the people who try to tell her what to do. It was a much needed scolding to a section of her fan base that takes the parasocial relationship too far. Plus it’s just a bop.

As a Swiftie since 2011, thank you for giving Taylor/TTPD a chance! This album is so divisive, I love all of the differing reactions and reviews and I agree that it does blend together a but when you’re listening to it back to back, especially The Anthology. Once you start to shuffle it with the rest of her discography or other music it begins to stand on its own. We also have similar favorites! Here’s my top 5 from TTPD: 1) I Can Do It With A Broken Heart 2) The Tortured Poets Department 3) Florida!!! 4) The Alchemy 5) Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me? HM) I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can) …And top 5 from Anthology: 1) Cassandra 2) imgonnagetyouback 3) The Prophecy 4) I Hate It Here 5) The Black Dog HM) Chloe / The Albatross

First of all: I think it’s a bad idea to force yourself to listen to something when you are growing tired of it and would rather listen to something else. That mindset/mood would poison the well, so to speak. (Memories are strongly associated with emotions. You would be building the wrong emotional connections into your memories of this music.) Hopefully the damage in this case is not permanent and you can still find growers among the TTDP songs. Two camps have arisen around this album: (1) “The songs all sound the same” and/or “This album is just more of the same old stuff. She is not pushing her boundaries.” (2) “Wow! This sounds like practically a whole new genre!” You seem to be in the first camp, and I am in the second. For me, TTPD is my fave album of all time. From my perspective, people in the first camp are like ETs visiting Earth and saying “All these humans look the same. How do they tell each other apart?” Somehow their brains are hyper-fixated on certain obvious similarities and, thus, are blind to the fairly obvious and important differences. To me, the elements that sound similar to her previous work - or that sound similar from one song to another on the album - are elements that I love about TS songs. The similarities within the album sound, to me, like sonic cohesion - a quality that is generally celebrated and contributes to AOTY considerations at the Grammys but, for some reason, this album is getting attacked for it. As for the album being too long: Billboard is doing a poll where you vote for your favorite TTPD song. (As of today, you can still vote.) I find it interesting that all 31 songs have some votes. That seems like a sign of a great album. Every song is someone’s favorite. Nobody is forced to listen to all 31 songs in one sitting. What’s Your Favorite Track From Taylor Swift’s ‘The Tortured Poets Department?’ Vote! www.billboard.com/music/music-news/taylor-swift-the-tortured-poets-department-poll-1235662683/ Obviously (I hope), I’m not accusing you of anything bad. I’m simply trying to highlight the contrasts between our subjective experiences and I’m offering my own reactions to your reactions. Thank you for taking on this project. I think even the ETs would clearly see that you are an amazing human being.

Just feels like your policing him on how to feel

Sheesh....Naw I don't feel any specific accusations. I'm not in either camp honestly. I tried to remain as subjective as possible and understand that ultimately this is just my opinion. Sure I thought it sounded the same for a while, but that was on my first couple of listens and surface level attentiveness. It's different now as it's been a week since I stopped recording this video. The growing tired of listening to it was more of a FOMO from everything else lol. No damaging emotional connections because I've made 2 other videos where I listened to all of her albums and watched all of her music videos. The first camp would be an average listener IMO lol. I agree with you on a lot of this though, there are elements that remind me of her previous work like But daddy I love him and So high School. I personally would put myself between an average listener and a swiftie (leaning more towards swiftie because I appreciate her music and most average listeners don't and they'll attack her like you mentioned) I also think that a lot of people felt pressured to hurry up and binge listen the entire thing which may have led to complaints of the new song. I even know people that I know aren't fans of her and listened to the albums (why? no idea lol) Overall, she's Taylor Swift and like anyone with her status, she's gonna get some hate and it'll seem louder than anything else Thanks for this comment though. I think I addressed everything

Nice vid! I was super excited for this album and picked it up on vinyl the day it came out! My fave songs were But Daddy I Love Him, Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me, I Can Do It With A Broken Heart, and of course, FLORIDA!!! Generally solid album!

Thank you for your work I am super inspired by you man. Will be watching more. I’ve been wanting to review music for a long time and watching you has really helped!

This album was a letter to her fans. So totally fine if outsiders don’t get it. And no, not too many songs. Not the first artist to release two albums at once, and her fans are totally used to many new songs given what happened during the pandemic and her re-recordings. Many people are still not understanding that Taylor Swift is a once in a lifetime phenomenon. They are not getting it. She doesn’t care about industry rules and standards, she’s the industry. And her fans agree.

Oh, the Foo Fighters! How can you not love them. I have appreciated your takes. Me, I wasn't sure what I thought on first listen. I needed lyrics, I needed to listen again. But I definitely have some loves on these albums now. These told a whole story, and I'm one of the ones who appreciated the whole arc even if not every song is one I like.

You are so sweet, articulate and kind in your videos. I hope the Swifties aren't too hard on you. Sometimes they can be vicious! I'm a Swiftie and have enjoyed your Taylor content so much. Thanks for taking the time to do all of that!

I actually really enjoy this album... BUT I also agree it's a lot of songs to drop in one night. And it's a very specific vibe, like being alone on a walk or something. I think the reasoning behind it is (if you payed attention to the lyrics) she is letting go of all her past issues/trauma/whatever you want to call it and she is ready to move on. I just think she didn't want to hold on to any of this anymore because overall the album is a pretty depressing/sad vibe. Very relatable, but she seems so much happier in her life at the moment and I think she just wants to move on and be happy and leave all that sadness and drama from her past behind. (Seems to be what she's saying in the Manuscript). That's just my personal opinion :) Oh, fave songs are definitely "I look in peoples windows", "I hate it here", "the albatross", and "the prophecy" 🩷

Coming from a swiftie, I just watched your “only listening to Taylor Swift for a week” video and I have so much respect for your opinions!! I honestly don’t care if someone I know/friends with is a swiftie or not as long as they don’t hate on her for no reason! I loved both of these videos and the production was great! I gave you a sub!! 💗💗💗

FLORIDAAAA!!!!

I thought it all sounded the same at the beginning (production&music-wise, not like lyrics cuz the lyrics are amazing), but THEN, I shuffled TTPD through all of my music and IT SOUNDS SO MUCH BETTER

I also don’t like Fortnight and expected more! And my first listen - same on it all sounding the same lol. But after 2-3 listens I was like oh my god I’m obsessed, and the songs kind of individualized in my brain

My favorite songs change everyday, everyday i actually discover an appreciation for a new song. your top 5 was awesome. i agree it may be a little too many songs especially nowadays, but i enjoy most of them. Overall, i liked a lot the album but i agree that it grew on me day by day. It's not my favorite album of hers, but i never expected it to be, not in a bad way just in the sense that i kinda enjoy all her albums just some more than the others. My favorite is Folklore and this album is in my top 5 for sure. I think people (non-swifties) expected the album to be the best album of all time and if it didn't do it for them, which is understandable, they say it's the worst album ever. Also so many people are listenning to it that she can never win, if it's too poetic she's pretentious, if it's funny lyrics she's not a good songwriter. Just my thoughts, please be nice hahaha. Hi from Spain!!! Lover your videos!!

They don’t all sound the same especially part 1 compared to part 2 but this album did take a few listens for me to really like it, and even though the songs play in my head on a loop, I’m not at the “listening to it constantly” stage bc it’s sadder than what I’d like to listen to right now, but it’s no less genius

I agree with that. I realized that if I casually listened then it sounded similar but that’s my own fault for not paying attention. Which is why I eventually took a deeper dive. Obviously songs like I can do it with a broken heart stand rhythmically than the rest

Honestly ur videos are fun to watch cus there isn't actually many non-swifties who take the time to deep dive into Taylor as a whole...so I think its super cool ur doing that! 🙌 In my first listen I didn't like it as much but then it started to grow on me...honestly I wonder what kind of drug Taylor put into this album 😭 My top five in no particular order is... I Can Do It With A Broken Heart, Down Bad, The Prophecy, So Long London and Peter...this changes constantly cus I'm rly indecisive 😅

I was underwhelmed on the first listen and couldn’t tell the songs apart. It’s a mellow vibe and that’s ok. She throws a lot of words at you in her signature cadence and your brain begins to swim. But when those melodic hooks start to adhere to your brain, you know you’re starting to absorb the album! Now that I’ve given it a few listens I think, like always, she has some of her most brilliant songs, many fine songs and then a few I don’t like. So Long London, LOML and Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me are big stand outs. There are a few super cringy lines… Charlie Puth? I mean, eye roll. And I can’t believe she used the word touchdown in a song about Travis. Ugh. Such a disappointment. I haven’t even gotten to the Anthology second half yet because 31 songs are too many damn songs.

something that made me appreciate the songs more is seeing it as two albums, like starting at the black dog when i want the more emotional calm vibe

I loved the album on the first listen but I only listened to part 1. I instantly connected to the lyrics and found that it was both a different sound and also very familiar in a good way. I waited several days before listening to the Anthology and ended up liking it even better (I think? Honestly I just love both so much lol). Its like fighting up there for the number 1 spot with Folklore. I think the problem for a lot of people was that 31 songs felt like a lot and its hard to really appreciate them all at once. With that said, I am very happy with the 31 songs, not a lot of skips for me (about 5 songs i dont really like in there).

i love that The Prophecy is in your top 5 and Cassandra being in honorable mentions my top 5 in no particular order is The Prophecy, Cassandra, The manuscript, Loml, and Guilty as Sin

I'm watching this after seeing clips of the new set on her tour - I absolutely love "I can do it with a broken heart." Even though it's sad at the same time. Her performance of it is so good. "But daddy I love him" is my overall favorite.

Running to this album is craaazy 😂 i saw some girl say it was perfect for slow runs and i was like 🤨 I feel like Taylor released all of the songs because writing them was very therapeutic for her, and releasing them instead of keeping them on the editing room floor fits the theme of trying to break out of the box she's been put in. I think most people in today's society don't listen to albums all the way through on a regular basis- we listen to our favorite songs on shuffle. I'm sure Taylor knows that not all of these songs will get the same number of streams once we've all gotten our inital listens done and move on. I love The Prophecy, Cassandra, & The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived, and I am enjoying dancing to My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys, Down Bad, and Florida!!! ... as well as I Can Do It With a Broken Heart... even though that one made me genuinely concerned for a bit 😅

I had to listen to several times before I started really appreciating this album. There are some songs I still think are only ok. However, I’m a total Swifty because of the person she is and she is a magician with words.

TTPD is definitely one that I started off unsure about, but now it has a complete chokehold on me. I love Down Bad and Guilty as Sin (and Florida!!! because Florence is everything). Totally appreciate listening to the perspective of people who actually have given her music a listen outside of what's on the radio

I concur with the majority of the comments I read that this album is a grower. More than anything I want to see a "long pond session" take on this album too - a making of or a breakdown of the thought process.

Hello! As a newly converted swiftie, I can say that I LOVE this album. It wasn't love at first sight, but the more I listened to it, the more profund it got ! Thank you for being an open-minded non swiftie. Your videos and opinions are interesting !

Honestly, when I first listened to it, I was disassociating so bad so I didn’t really get to appreciate the lyrics as much as I would’ve liked to, so it made me enjoy it less. I waited a couple days to listen to the anthology and it sort of got old for me to the point that I don’t think I finished it. The last song I had listened to was Cassandra and I left cuz it was boring me a little bit. But after a second listen of most of the songs, it def grew on me and is my #4 in albums.

I have enjoyed this t swift trilogy of videos! I will also say this album especially felt like “taylor swift lore” for the fans or swiftorians (lol) to pick apart, to non-taylor swift fans, that is often missed. But I agree 31 songs was too many and all sounded like a long, run on sentence. This album has to grow on you a lot with time.

So true!

This album is a grower. I love "Peter" and "How did it end?"

My Top 5 is similar to yours. I'd swap Florida for Who's Afraid of Little Old Me and my honorable mentions would go to The Smallest Man and My Boy Only Breaks His Favourite Toys. I think it's a strong album but I was overwhelmed by the number of new songs all coming out at once. I wish we'd gotten say, a fortnight, between TPPD and The Anthology. Many of her friends and peers are releasing music right now too so I think the really short promo period leading to April 19 (not even a full week) and just ripping the bandaid off and releasing it all at once were probably meant to avoid monopolizing the convo for very long.

I feel like this is an album you have to be in the mood for. It's not one that you put on while working out or working. It's an album you go to for introspection. I know that this album will have to be put on the shelf sometimes for me because of the sadness it evokes. Sometimes we just need something peppy (working out), mellow (chill work music), introspective (when we need to process emotions). So I say don't force yourself to listen to something when the timing is not right. For instance, I loved Dua Lipa's last album, but this one is not doing it for me. But I'm not writing it off yet, just realizing I'm not in the right place to listen to it. Same with the new song that came out for Imagine Dragons... I love them, but I don't like the new song. But it sounds like them, so I assume it's not the time for me right now.

They all do not sound the same I have to disagree

You’re right though. At first when I casually listened (not paying attention really) the melodies did but that’s my own fault. Songs like I can do it with a broken heart obviously sound different. Once I personally took a deeper dive then each song had its own “story/personality”

I would say there are similar topics for sure, but the beats are varied. Hope you are enjoying the journey

loved your videos, i always find a parallel between taylor fans, metal fans and hip hop fans. Thats why some say taylor has "bars" lmaoo bc when u know the lyrics, you'll see she is ending people left and right. And the level of dedication fans have to discover this is similar to hip hop fans (see drake and kendrick rn) and metal fans. My fav double albums are All Eyez On Me and pink floyd the wall (even tho is not a double album, ts should have done "sides"). I loved the project and is, for now, my favorite from her, i feel like encapsulates her music from 2020-2023 and, again, in my opinion, she did her best work ever during this decade.

I wrote all the TTPD songs down then made two separate lists with half the songs on each list and then I organized the two list for faster / slower paced songs then made said lists on Spotify so I now have my two perfect albums 🤣

Hahaha that’s awesome. The dedication!

TTPD IS PURE GENIUS

florida!!! 🗣🗣🗣

I think people saying, there are too many songs is hilarious. ITS A DOUBLE ALBUM. So 31 tracks…..TRACKS!

You should do the same thing you did here with Taylor for Nickelback. Their entire discography as well as album and song rankings. I dont know how into them you are and theres plenty of videos and articles hating and defending them but, I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on all of it. They've got their power ballads sure but, they've got more than enough for you to run along with as well. Here and Now is my personal favorite album of theirs. Maybe turn what you did with Taylor into a series covering different artists and bands.

As a Swiftie, to be honest, the first time I istened to the album, I was disappointed. All the songs sounded the same. At first I totally ignored the Anthology (the 2nd part) because it was just too much. But now, two weeks later, I really enjoy it. I listen more to the original album, and I like them all. I agree with you, the lyrics really make the difference. Fun video to watch by the way!

Thing is to me right now, I appreciate a lot of it especially second part and also I need upbeat stuff so this is not right for me in this moment .

"I think 31 songs is too much" Red: *looks away*

8:37 I could only think of one off the top of my head, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by Smashing Pumpkins

After you listen the the best songs more then once, they start to get really catchy💎🐈🌹🌺🎭♐❤💋

has your top 5 changed?

It is A LOT of songs. But I would never say too many, because I love so much new content. I think it's not a correct assumption to say that the streams are going down because people don't want that many songs. I think the problem is time itself - I often start an album (any album) and then don't have the time to finish it. Sometimes 15 songs in, sometimes even 5 song in, that's just life. It has nothing to do with the content itself. But it does indicate that people listen to it as a whole, not just a few "random" songs.

The more you listen and learn, the more you like.. I love the Folklore, Evermore, 1989 the best. But I like the others as well.

My top 5 The Black Dog The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived Down Bad How Did it End? So Long, London Honorable mentions: I Can Do It with a Broken Heart The Prophecy Who's Afraid of Little Old Me? No one asked, but my skips: The Manuscript Robin My biggest gripe with the album is that I wish there was a better love LOVE song. I get why there's not, but I would have loved one. Needless to say, I love it. It's grown on my so much, and I'd thought it would be more of a slow burn. I re-ranked all of Taylor's songs, and 18 from TTPD made my top 50.

31 songs is a lot. Buuuttt, it’s 13 backwards. We all know how much she likes the number and it’s another Tylor thing to do. Let’s just make an album with that many, 31 (13).

Shoutout to the number 13 being everywhere!

This album was a grower for me. I listened to it first day and I didn’t vibe with it as I did with her other albums. It wasn’t love at first listen and now after listening to it none stop… songs that were not a favorite bottom of the barrel are my top favorite. To me TTPD doesn’t sound like anything she’s done before even her style of singing a slightly different and that threw me off at first.

31 is 13 backwards- That’s how many songs that are in TTPD.

I'm a rep fan as well.

my top 5 ttpd songs: 5th - Florida!!! 4th - thanK you aIMee 3th - The Black Dog 2nd - I can do it with a broken heart 1st - Who's afraid of little old me?

I like how honest he is with his reviews and the fact that he isn't afraid of how BRUTAL swifties can be when you don't like a song/album they like (which can happen for anything but swifties are kinda sorta harsh about it)

1. Down bad 2. I can do it with a broken heart 3. Whose afraid of little old me 4. Cassandra 5. I can't decide there are so many good ones

you should do something like this with lana del rey's music

At first i was really disappointed but now i find myself going back listeninf to a few songs i find really good Like florida, the albatross, the prophecy and more

At this point I am the same way

My fav is ICDIWABH or WAOLOM

The random Florida outbursts are killing me hahah

I think this album hits if you've really been through some shit. When you can really relate to what she is saying, then you really like it. But not everyone has the same experiences in life, so they may not relate as much. I've hear people also say it can depend on your age. If you're older and have had more life experiences, then you relate to it more than a younger person.

@RellyMoorer

Ай бұрын

That's true. I think people that in a sense grew up with her as she made music can definitely relate to her

my favorite is But Daddy I Love Him, but it's honestly so hard to rank this album because almost all of it is 10/10 it's fr her best work and my favorite album of hers by far (sorry rep)

5:51 thank you for saying that. I am made fun of for being a swiftie all the time but music is so subjective and people do the same things for other artists.

The random Florida!!! Thing is necessary I do it all the time

So many favorites! Fortnight (featuring Post Malone) The Tortured Poets Department Down Bad But Daddy I Love Him Fresh Out the Slammer I Can Do It with a Broken Heart The Alchemy Clara Bow imgonnagetyouback

My top 5: Down Bad, But Daddy I Love Him, Guilty As Sin?, The Black Dog, Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus I tried really hard to include imgonnagetyouback, but there's no space left :( I also love Florida!, Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?, loml, I Can Do It with a Broken Heart, So High School, The Prophecy... yeah, I give up, basically all of them :D

I didn't like the first TTPD, but the Anthology side was more my speed. I still overall don't care for the project, but there were a few songs that would be right at home on my favorite TS album (Folklore); I Hate It Here, How Did It End, maybe The Prophecy

Have you been stretching?

I just the listen to the original album that dropped before the dbl, 31 songs is too much after the main 17, I switch off

What is 31 backwards? 13 and that is why 31, we all know Taylor's favorite number is 13 and it is also her birthdate Dec. 13 1989.

Where are my swifties at?

Side note: You can take a nap whenever you feel! You earned it just by being a person who may enjoy a nap! 😊

Personally I love ttpd but I won’t get mad about people’s opinions plus we are both rep girlies lol and I do agree that some songs didn’t need to be on the album and she could’ve had like 20-25 songs and not 31

Haha Ginnie is the most fun Swiftie to follow on TT

PLEASE do ariana grande!! Her new album is such a pop and PERFECT for running

Hmmmm I may or may not be working on that rn

Anyone who would say the songs on this album sound the same clearly know ZERO about music/production or lyrics. It is her best album yet, but it is a little too advanced for the shallow listeners, they will need more time to grasp the genius of the production, lyrics and theme of this masterpiece. I would be embarrassed if I listened to this album and had thought than any of the songs sound the same, when they every song is literally completely different....

@RellyMoorer

You’re right! Obviously there are songs that sound different melodically (Florida, I can do it with a broken heart, So high school). The blanket statement of it all sounds the same was to draw viewers in and at the beginning when I casually listened (background music) and didn’t pay attention to the lyrics sure yeah some sounded similar. In the video I said that the production was good. Lyrically they obviously are unique in their own way. Shallow listeners would be the “average person” IMO. The person that just listened to it once and moved on with their life lol

They don’t all sound exactly alike but there is a vibe that runs throughout. Just like Reputation or 1989 has a vibe. My first listen felt monotonous but the songs have started to differentiate themselves. They are not “literally completely different”. There are even a lot of songs that call back to other songs from past albums. There is definite sameness but it isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

@@musicfangirl7403agree this album has a vibe, the vibe is unique in her catalog. The songs on the album have a similar vibe, I’d agree with that. Not sure if you meant songs on 1989 and Rep have the same vibe…. 1989 and Rep definitely do not have the same vibe, but songs on 1989 have a consistent vibe and so do the songs on Rep.

@musicfangirl7403

No I didn’t mean that 1989 and Rep are the same kind of sound. Along with Folklore, they are the three most cohesive sounding albums in her later catalog. I would put the original Midnights in there too before she added all the extra stuff.

Taylor said she had to make this album for herself and to get it out of herself
