Payton Lenhart

I truly feel this is one of her best albums (especially when adding on the anthology). The album is raw with emotions and dives in to many different aspects of Taylors emotional turmoil over the last 2 years. I do not believe this album will do well commercially (other than it being a Taylor Swift album) but I don't feel that was the point of this one. This was a true deepdive into her psyche and she treated it as her diary. This was a way for her to heal and move past some deep issues. This album is not just a breakup album it seems to be a tipping point that brings us on a journey of what seems to have been a true mental breakdown. She has been in the public eye since she was a minor and she really explores how that and the weight of public perception has had on her as she matures and traverses through these relationships and situations. Even if critics pan this one I feel everyone should do at least a one time listen through the whole thing to get a feel of what she is trying to say. This is Taylor the real, honest, true person and not international pop star Taylor Swift.
