I don't even f***ing care how loony this. TAYLOR. DID. THAT. Seven is so f***ing good. All the 10's are so instant, I'd say Mad Woman 2nd, Epiphany 3rd, The 1 4th, August 5th, Cardigan 6th, Dynasty 7th rn. Tears 8th, Betty 9th, Exile 10th, TIMT 11th, Affairs 12th, String 13th, Mirrorball 14th, Hoax 15th, Peace 16th.

 

I'm gonna be going back to this album so many times :wub:

Hahaha I’ll be back soon to give my rate

I'm going to watch the Cardigan vid now! (someone else comment in that thread plz xx)

 

Ran straight back to listens of Seven and Mad Woman which are sfg

the piano in hoax... (I'm a pianist, so I love a good piano bit.) ahhhh.

I'm feeling teary on Hoax.

I'm done. How can I even rank this? Everything is gorgeous in its own way.

Hahah can’t believe I’m up but the video is good! Not a traditional Taylor video but I did still like it!

okay listening to Epiphany a 2nd time and I think this may end up being my fave on the album, its SO STUNNING.

 

it reminds me of a way more stripped back version of the greatest/slide away, I love it.

I also finished the Cardigan video. Amazing.

it's been amazing listening along with u guys as well!! The first time we've managed to ever for a Tay album as everyone (inc me oops) always listened to the leaks of the other albums before they actually came out aha!! So much fun <3 <3

 

listening to Betty rn and then f*** it, I'm going for round 2.

and Betty is now a 10, already half the album being a 10 for me!!

#1 on US charts *.*

 

I low-key already prefer this to Lover :kink:

 

anyway the Apple Music playlisting is even worse than Spotify. I hope this is cos its a surprise drop and cardigan gets better playlisting further on & maybe one or two album tracks go on playlists! I'm not expecting this to be massively successful on the singles chart but I hope the album will serve longevity

OMG I just remembered we have the lakes as well to come when the physicals come out OMG IM NOT READY!!

Ahh, trying to first listen rate and rank now.
