I am listening to it now! My daughter is attending an album drop party at her friend's house this afternoon, and among the snacks we are bringing, we included this in @TaylorSwiftsPickles honor.

What's a song you'd recommend (any album) to someone who isn't a Taylor Swift fan and wonders why her music is interesting? (I have a niece who is a fan.)

Fair, I just really love the vocal blending of Swift and Vernon in Exile, and was not thinking of the best representation of Folklore. Cardigan is probably in the top songs of Folklore when you consider only doing songs without guest artists, although I quite like the drum machine and electric guitar in peace that makes it a fun vibe and worth recommending (although it is not a strong representative sample).
I think this is genuinely a worse album than The Tortured Poets Department, which already was pretty bad. I don't think this album has a clear identity, I don't understand the Showgirl aesthetic...
I think this is genuinely a worse album than The Tortured Poets Department, which already was pretty bad. I don't think this album has a clear identity, I don't understand the Showgirl aesthetic if none of if it present in the music. There's no camp, it doesn't have that old-school Hollywood tone that is associated with Showgirls.
I've never thought Swift was that strong of a song-writer, I think her lyrical ability is largely overestimated. But I do think her run from 1989 to Midnights (barring reputation) is pretty good. I love 1989, I still think it's her best album, it's what got me to like her as an artist in the first place. I really like Lover even though I understand a lot of people don't really like it even among Swift fans. Folklore and Evermore are good, even if I didn't fall all over them like a lot of people. And I love Midnights. But it's like she's empty now after that run. It's like she's lost the sense of self she developed through that album run. I won't speculate as to the cause of that since I classify that as celeb drama. But these past two albums feel like she's grasping at straws artistically.
She needs to take a break and only make music when she has something to say.

Honestly, I'm genuinely honoured, it's really sweet you thought of my username when getting snacks. Enjoy the listen!

Suggesting Folklore and not going with Exile? Bold move IMO
