9.5

“This album genuinely is amazing, it has some of her biggest hits like You belong with me, Love Story, White horse, Fearless, and Fifteen which all are still bangers Track by track review Fearless-10/10 it’s genuinely a fun carefree good vibe song and every time i listen to this I think of the eras tour. Fifteen-10/10 This song is a very fun track and also Abigail mention, I can see why lots of people like it Love story- This was like her breakout and it really showed her writing style telling a very good story throughout the song Hey Stephen-9.5/10 I love this song it’s just a fun song about a guy and o love the line “All those other girls, well, they're beautiful But would they write a song for you? White horse-10/10 well it’s a track 5 so everyone knows it’s a 10/10, the pain and against in her voice as she sings is amazing, definitely probably that saddest song on this album You belong with me-10/10 probably one of her most iconic songs to date, everyone and their mother knows this banger, also it’s very relatable to me because I had a crush on a girl I liked and she was dating a boy not right for her. Breathe(ft:Colbie Caillat)-8/10 it’s a great song which is also very relatable to me it’s about losing a friendship you held very dearly but learning to move on without them, but while lyrically one of the better from the album it could have had better production. Tell me why-9/10 I love that we got more of the rage like we did on her last album with should’ve said no, I love this one. You’re not sorry-10/10 this honestly also could’ve been a track 5, this song has the rage of tell me why, and the sadness of White horse. The way I loved you-10/10 its my favorite song from this album, it’s kinda like the country 22 and it’s a very good song, the Taylor’s version also is way better than the OG. Forever & always-10/10 again love the rage and against on this song, also it was like if better than revenge but if it was about the boy instead. The best day-7/10 it’s an amazing song don’t get me wrong I especially love the bridge, I’m glad Taylor and her mom have this amazing relationship and care for each other, but I on the other hand do not at all and that kinda does ruin the song a little but still a beautiful song. Change-7/10 it’s also a great song just personally not one of my favorites it’s definitely more of a weaker song but still good, also I love the Taylor’s version better her vocals are better on it than the og track. Jump then fall-9/10 this is a great fun song and it’s the first time Taylor talked about being a little dirty and honestly it shocks me how this song became more of a hit then The way I loved you. Untouchable-10/10 can we all talk about how crazy that she took a song and covered it and completely changed the production and it sounds exactly like it was her song, also I love the chorus. Forever & always (piano version)-10/10 I like that we have the original rage version and then the sad version it’s very beautiful. Come in with the rain-10/10 it’s a freaking banger I especially love the pre chorus. Superstar-10/10 it’s one of her most underrated songs ever and it’s an amazing song, people say it’s very cringe but I love the lyrics because it really shows you what the song is about. The other side of the door-9/10 it’s a banger and you can’t help but sing it every time also love the outro. Today was a fairytale- 10/10 honestly it would’ve been a better choice to be on Speak now but I know the reason why she didn’t put it on, it’s a very cute romantic song. You all over me (ft: Maren Morris)-10/10 I really love the lyrics on this song, just wish Maren could’ve had a verse on the song. Mr. perfectly fine-10/10 it’s my favorite vault track and it’s also very sad but I love the way it goes from being a sad breakup to moving on. We were happy-10/10 although it has happy in the title don’t be fooled because it’s not, it’s a very heartbreaking song also the best part is definitely the bridge. That’s when (ft: Kieth Urban)-9/10 it’s very glitter gel pen but countryified, also Kieth is nice on the song he doesn’t hurt or improve the song I don’t mind him, the chorus is amazing. Don’t you-10/10 omg the bridge is freaking everything I love it so much and the lyrics are amazing. Bye bye baby-9/10 again another glitter gel pen country song that is very beautiful. Overall an amazing album definitely not my favorite album by her but still amazing, also she did amazing for her age.”

evermore

Ryan1Nunez

8.7

“Evermore is the perfect companion to Folklore—and honestly, it might just be even better. Taylor Swift’s ability to craft complex, emotional stories has reached new heights on this album. Each song feels like a beautifully written short story, bringing her indie-folk era to life with haunting melodies and poetic lyrics that will stay with you long after the music ends. From the magical “champagne problems” to the heartbreakingly beautiful “marjorie,” Evermore shows Taylor at her most introspective and vulnerable. Collaborations with Justin Vernon (Bon Iver), Haim, and The National add new textures to her sound, making the album feel rich and multi-layered. But it’s her solo tracks, like “willow” and “cowboy like me,” that truly steal the show, with their intimate and evocative lyrics. The album feels like a deep dive into Taylor’s soul, where every word is meaningful and every melody perfectly crafted. It might not have the same mainstream appeal as some of her earlier works, but it’s this quiet, reflective side of Taylor that truly proves she’s a masterful storyteller. Evermore is a beautiful continuation of her journey into the folk and indie world, and it’s an album that you can get lost in, over and over again. Evermore is everything we love about Taylor Swift—poignant, heartfelt, and absolutely unforgettable. It’s a gift, and we’re so lucky to experience it.”

folklore

“Folklore is nothing short of a masterpiece. Taylor Swift took a leap into uncharted territory, and it paid off in ways we could never have imagined. This album is pure magic, filled with hauntingly beautiful storytelling and atmospheric production that takes you to another world. From the moment the opening notes of “the 1” start, you know you’re in for something special. Every track is a journey. “Exile” with Bon Iver is an emotional rollercoaster, and “Betty” makes you feel like you’re living in a nostalgic, small-town dream. Taylor’s songwriting has never been more poignant or raw, blending folk, indie, and alternative sounds with her signature lyrical genius. Folklore feels like an intimate conversation with her listeners, where every line resonates and hits deep. The production is soft and ethereal, letting the storytelling take center stage. The entire album feels like a cohesive work of art, and every song is a gem. Though it’s a more subdued side of Taylor, it still holds that undeniable charm that makes her music so captivating. Folklore is a breathtaking exploration of love, loss, and self-discovery. While not as commercially explosive as her previous albums, it’s definitely one of her most mature and accomplished works. Swifties, we are truly lucky to witness this side of Taylor’s artistry.”

THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT: THE ANTHOLOGY

9.4

“The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology is a true masterpiece and a gift to Swifties everywhere. Taylor Swift has always been a poet at heart, and this collection of her most beautifully crafted lyrics really proves it. Every song feels like it’s been carefully chosen to take us on a journey through Taylor’s deepest, most vulnerable moments, blending heartbreak, self-reflection, and brilliant storytelling into something utterly unforgettable. From the emotional depth of “Black Dog” to the haunting beauty of “I Looks In People Window,” the anthology showcases Taylor’s evolution as an artist while staying true to her roots. The rawness and intimacy in her writing are unparalleled, and this collection offers a peek into the soul of one of the greatest songwriters of our generation. While some tracks could have been paired with more diverse arrangements, the emotional weight and lyrical genius on display make this anthology an absolute must-have for any fan. The way Taylor weaves her life into these poems and songs is simply magic. The Tortured Poets Department is an emotional rollercoaster that’s impossible to put down once you start. A must-have for Swifties who’ve followed her journey from the beginning, and an album you’ll be coming back to over and over again.”

The Life of a Showgirl

Ryan1Nunez

6.0

“Going into The Life Of A Showgirl, I was ready to be swept away. I’ve followed Taylor Swift through every era — the country diaries, the synth-pop glow-ups, the indie-folk detours — so an album built around the spectacle and loneliness of performance felt like it had huge potential. There are moments where it really shines. A few tracks capture that backstage vulnerability perfectly. The quiet before the curtain rises, the pressure to smile through heartbreak. Lyrically, she’s still sharp, still able to land a line that makes you pause and rewind. And as a fan, I love when she pulls back the curtain on fame and identity. But as a full body of work, it doesn’t always stick the landing. Some songs feel more concept-driven than emotionally lived-in, and a few hooks don’t hit as hard as we know she’s capable of. It’s polished and maybe a little too polished and at times I missed the rawness that made past albums feel immediate and personal. Still, even a mid-tier Taylor project has standout songwriting and replay value. The Life Of A Showgirl might not be her strongest act, but it’s an interesting one and as a fan, I’ll always show up for the next curtain call.”

reputation

6.8

“Reputation is Taylor Swift’s boldest, fiercest, and most transformative album to date—and we’re here for it. After the drama and media frenzy, Taylor came back swinging with a darker, more electronic sound that’s impossible to ignore. From the first beat of “…Ready for It?” to the raw vulnerability of “New Year’s Day,” she proves that she’s evolved and ready to take on anything. Tracks like “Look What You Made Me Do” and “End Game” are pure anthems of confidence, while “Delicate” and “Call It What You Want” show off her softer, more intimate side. The production is sleek and futuristic, with heavy synths and clever lyrics that show Taylor at her sharpest. The themes of reinvention, self-empowerment, and embracing her true self shine through in every song. The only reason it’s not a perfect five stars is that a couple of tracks, like “This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things,” feel a bit too cheeky and less timeless compared to the rest of the album. But overall, Reputation is an absolute triumph—bold, unapologetic, and 100% Taylor. It’s a journey through love, heartbreak, and self-discovery, and we’ll keep coming back to it again and again.”

THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT

Ryan1Nunez

6.7

“The Tortured Poets Department is a compelling addition to Taylor Swift’s body of work, offering a mix of emotional depth and sophisticated songwriting. As always, Taylor’s ability to convey vulnerability and introspection through her lyrics shines. Tracks like “My Boys Only Breaks His Favorite Toys” and “Down Bad” are standout moments, where her storytelling is poignant and resonant, showcasing her growth as an artist. While most of the album delivers impactful, introspective moments, a few tracks feel less immediate or experimental, which can make the overall experience feel a bit uneven. Despite this, the album still maintains a cohesive sound, balancing softer, reflective tunes with the sharp, insightful lyrics Taylor is known for. Overall, The Tortured Poets Department is a strong collection that captures Taylor’s emotional complexity and artistic evolution. Though not her best work, it remains a noteworthy and meaningful release for both fans and new listeners alike.”
