Review
So, yeah, unless I'm proven otherwise and I shock myself, this is probably my favorite album I've ever listened to. I had to listen to this album on some other website that wasn't YouTube in order to listen to it because Taylor didn't put up her discography on Spotify until June of 2017. I loveeeeeee the 80s themes and aesethetis Taylor uses in this album. Synthpop is probably my favorite form of pop and if you mix it up with an 80s flare I will adore it. That's also why I adore "Emotion" by Carly Rae Jepsen, but the highs are personally higher here. "Style" is basically transcendent and has superb replay value and I never end getting sick of it somehow. It's just that good. "Blank Space" is just so cleverly written and it basically gave the middle finger to the people who just thought Taylor was just this woman who only had relationships to ruin men's lives or whatever. Its replay value is also fantastic, as well as the completion to my trinity - "Wildest Dreams" - which basically takes me up into the clouds whenever I listen to it. Every song is honestly so good, and "Bad Blood" seems to get a rid of flack for bringing up unnecessary drama... and I get that. But I still enjoy listening to it despite the clear flaws it has. So yeah, if you haven't listened to this album, you are probably living under a rock because this era was literally everywhere. [9/10]
