I like “London Boys” but I couldn’t rationally “defend it” to a hater.

Lover is uneven but also her last “fun” record. She should make another one.

I will never, ever get enough of "Cruel Summer," my theme song for the long COVID summer of '20.

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
