taylor swift iridescent smoke bombs thread 2019 - lover

lover is definitely an album that seems better in retrospect to me given that she actually articulates a vision for pop music production that goes beyond largely anonymous synth pop. i wouldn’t say it’s exactly a coherent vision, or even necessarily an exciting vision, but at least there are some *ideas* here about what taylor swift pop music could sound like

one does have to wonder if she deeply disliked the process of recording like a normal pop star — trying out diff producers — bcuz she has clearly opted out of that dynamic ever since. or maybe the pandemic just thrust her into this little insular creative bubble
