^ Me too.
And Battle. I like that even though it's a simple concept and song. The lyrics have a different feel. Taylor is a songwriting genius.
I'm also interested in hearing Sad Beautiful Tragic. I'm not sure but I think her voice has changed since Red. I have a feeling SBT would sound like something out of Folklore.

As well as ATW (obvs) I’m excited to hear Better Man. That’s such a good song. How do you know about this song? I'm not following Taylor that hard as I do with Avril so I wouldn't know! And how do you guys know the lyrics from Battle? Also, Stay Stay Stay would sound different I think! Not so 'young-girly-girl' anymore.

Better Man is a song that she wrote that she ended up giving to Little Big Town. Taylor performed it a few times, the best quality performance was at the Blue Bird Cafe in Nashville for a documentary. Battle was leaked and can be found on YouTube. I forgot about Stay Stay Stay - it’s cool that she now actually has that kind of relationship so she’s come full circle!

What do you guys think about Renegade? It easily could've been an Evermore track! I like it.

I think it’s just ok honestly. It sounds so similar to all the other stuff they’ve done. I’m just kind of bored now of that style of song and the depressing lyrics. Can’t she write about anything else besides toxic relationships? It’s just getting old IMO. Now that things with COVID are starting to improve and people can go out again I think it’s time for something more upbeat. And since she’s in a happy relationship it makes no sense to me why she is always writing breakup songs or songs about cheating, toxic relationships, etc. Personally I would love another album like Lover, something with bright colors and aesthetics with happy love songs. I just don’t relate to these depressing indie folk songs she writes. It suited the times we were in with COVID but now I think it’s time to change course.

I remember listening to a snippet of it a while ago, that the guy from Bon Iver let fans here. I didn't think it was gonna come out so soon. Yay lol

That’s almost blasphemous! 🤣 At least she’s putting stuff out unlike you know who. 👹😤

I think Bo has been overexposed to depressing folk songs. I agree that Renegade is too similar to stuff they've already done. They may need a break from each other. Apparently, they wrote this song right after winning the Grammy.
Folklore was a nice change from the pop music Taylor was making before but then Evermore also came along. I like depressing songs though and the chill folk vibe on her recent work. Still, I wouldn't mind more upbeat songs even if they have the same themes. The themes don't really bother me. Even on Lover, I preferred the angst-y songs better. Rep is my favorite though since it was like following a secret romance. Then there's 1989, it would have made my summer to have it out now. Anyways, idk where I'm going with is and idk where Taylor is going next either. I find it all so exciting.

You might be missing her best stuff if you don’t check out albums 1-4.

Same, I liked the ‘angst-y’ songs on Lover way more than the happy songs (except Lover itself since I really like that song) but songs such as I Think He Knows, Paper Rings and Me are really not my cup of tea (to name a few). They are just so so candy sweet and like a 14 year old girl who has a huge crush on someone and that person can’t do something wrong. It’s a bit too much for me. I liked the fact that she just didn’t felt done with the genre and created Folklore and Evermore. I wonder what she’s doing next besides her re-releasing albums!!

I don’t know, when Taylor is in her Joy of Life mode that’s pretty appealing to me. 😇

I honestly can’t get enough of the work they’re doing together. I loved Lover - Paper Rings & London Boy are two of my faves. But I’m an absolute sucker for a depressing relationship song I completely can’t relate to and they’re doing it flawlessly.

Agree Katy, even Swizz herself said she and Joe are suckers for sad songs.

Folklore really was what you would call "an album of the times". I can't imagine it coming out now and experiencing it the same way. Although, I do remember thinking it was a bit boring the first time lol. I can't believe it's been a year. I feel like it's been around for 6.
