Also, as much as I like the last two albums, I wish she’d re-engage with the “mature, ’80s-tinged pop-rock” approach of (much of) Red... that was such a great direction.

Saw her in Foxboro last night with my 11 year-old daughter for her first concert. A bunch of songs I kind of wrote off on the CD—King of My Heart in particular—really came to life live. The lady can put on a show.

Yeah, that’s probably my least favorite track; interesting that she can put it across.

it's the first and so far only song from the album to have gotten widespread airplay without getting dropped like a hot potato immediately after peaking. deserved imo (altho i liked the non-"look what you made me do" radio singles too)

Credit to Taylor Swift, apparently her (first ever) political instagram post and endorsement led to a surge in voter registration.

it's true, Swift is the only person in America campaigning for voter registration, with this one instagram post

I saw her Sydney show a few nights ago, and she seemed way more relaxed and engaged than her 1989 tour where she seemed stiff, self-conscious and like she was performing to the cameras rather than the audience (may have just been because that particular show was being filmed for her tour documentary). Really good show. My girlfriend has bumped reputation non-stop for the last year, and I've grown to appreciate it a lot more through all the repeated listens. I understand why LWYMMD and Ready for It were the lead singles, but they're also pretty much the worst things about the album, and I think it killed most people's enthusiasm for it. But I think she's ended this album cycle on a high note - her tour was great, the album has aged well, Kanye now looks like a far bigger moron than she ever did, and she took the political stand that a lot of people had been waiting for.

People are freaking out thinking that Taylor Swift is counting backwards on Instagram with tomorrow being the deadline.
She's also written an article for Elle: https://www.elle.com/uk/life-and-culture/a26546099/taylor-swift-pop-music/

I watched the 'premiere.' video was ok, missed that wes anderson directed it, didn't seem like it. bizarre color palette - sugar overload/cake flavored ice cream aesthetic? I was with the song until the chorus, more anonymous new muzak. is this for a kids movie?
