"new year's day" feels like a cop out pick since it stands aside the album sonically but whatever. canon classic taylor song to me. "delicate" is the one that feels like she actually wrote a pop song that sounds like modern pop instead of pop from 6 years ago, but i fuck heavily with everything thru about no. 9 on my list and the other two i def mostly like.
this album was not as bad as the initial songs made it seem, and i think i rate it above 1989 so at least there's that. she is still an incredible songwriter but i really really really hope she moves on from her normie into "dubstep" phase with her next album.

I love all the little background vocal interjections — the “Oh!”s and “Ah!”s and “Hmm”s — on “Gorgeous” and throughout much of the album (or at least the Max M. tracks)?

It's a toss up between "New Year's Day", "Dress", "Getaway Car" and "Delicate". "Call It What You Want" would be at #5. Most of the rest I've not listened to voluntarily since the album was released.

^agreed (plus, I was the only one who voted for “Endgame”? Lol)I like “Getaway Car,” tho I feel it maybe pushes its central metaphor one or two clicks too far... and the bridge sticks out in a way I don’t love. It’s very “songwriter”-y to me — impressive in a craft-appreciation way, but you can see the work in every line.

“I knew it from the first Old Fashioned, we were cursed” is a Good Line

"Getaway Car" and "Gorgeous" are the only ones that stuck for me from this, I have never found myself wanting to go back to it tbh
