taylor saying that 1989 is about moving to new york and embracing life with your friends never stops being funny. the main message of 1989 is That Early 20s Situationship Can And Will Kill You

down bad is soooooo fucking good wdym there’s an ethereal but also earworm-y song about being so emotionally scrambled by how things went down in a relationship that you literally felt like you experienced an alien abduction and then got unceremoniously dumped back on earth. and now you’re down bad crying at the goddamn gym. one of The songs of ttpd

thinking again about my ultimate taylor dream of a whole album of 90s-movie-sounding electric guitar riff pop-rock songs like hits different and so high school

also i really like the stuff jack and taylor were doing with the synths and other production bits on midnights. leaning into vocal effects on midnight rain and dear reader, echoey drums on anti-hero like the monster on the hill is lurching towards you through a big empty space, the way bejeweled literally sounds like it's glinting and sparkling, the kind of fuzzy electronic sounds behind labyrinth, the background vocal of her yelling 'i'm so in love!' in paris, the ominous synth throbbing behind maroon that makes you feel like you're there with her looking across the city skyline in the hour before dawn
