    First person to win Album of the Year four times. I liked the Album. My favorite album of the nominees was probably Rodrigo’s followed up by Lana’s album.

    I've become such a huge Taylor fan recently. Not sure why.

      Me too! It is amplified in my case by having an 8 year old (self proclaimed) Swiftie in the house, but I also like her music in its own right. I had been a fan back in the self-titled album days,...

      Me too! It is amplified in my case by having an 8 year old (self proclaimed) Swiftie in the house, but I also like her music in its own right.

      I had been a fan back in the self-titled album days, but after Red, I had not really paid that much attention to her music. Midnights is a banger though, then watching the Eras tour movie made me go back and look at her catalogue more closely. I'd say I enjoy most of it now.

      I am more drawn to lyrics than words, and that lady has quite the resonant turn of phrase. I was trying to decide if I have a favorite line, and it's a tough call, but one of my favorites is from Antihero:

      Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as altruism
      Like some kind of congressman?

        Yeah, Midnights just popped up coincidentally in my self-curated queue, and that line struck me.

      You're not alone in that! The same happened to me after recently listening to her music for the first time in ~11 years, for no specific reason.

      Her voice and music might be really good, but what really kept me listening is her lyrics, just like the other commenter also mentioned. :)

        I really dig Red, 1989, and Midnights (3 AM Edition), but I've heard her entire studio album discography.
