As someone who has genuinely enjoyed Taylor's music, I can honestly say that album was entirely unnecessary. It commits the biggest crime any art can commit: it is just boring! Every song sounds the same, there is no stand out pop hit. It honestly sounds like all the rejected songs from Midnights or an AI attempt at a 2024 Taylor Swift album. It's clear she's surrounded by a team too afraid of her power to critique her in any way to help her grow musically. Which is honestly sad because we know she is capable of making beautiful music. Instead of focusing on pumping out shear volume of songs, she should have just focused her time on making a set of actually good songs.
Tracks that I enjoyed (but wish they could have brought more):
Florida
The Albatross
