Taylor Swift - evermore (December 11, 2020) Album • Page 62

She did it

Taylor Swift's 'Willow' Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100

 

Currently feeling "cowboy like me" as my sleeper-but-stunner of this album. (It was "epiphany" on the last one.) I liked both on the first listen but a week+ in, I'm obsessed with it.

 

I have the chorus in my head all the time. Those harmonies are everything.

 

HONEY WHEN I'M ABOVE THE TREES
I SEE IT FOR WHAT IT IS
BUT NOW MY EYES LEAK ACID RAIN
ON THE PILLOW WHERE YOU USED TO LAY YOUR HEAD

More "Happiness" stanning please

 

That is the exact song that really stood out to me today despite being sort of cool toward it on previous listens!

Anyway, I love this album. A lot. I hope she releases a Folklore/Evermore vinyl set at some point.

 

I enjoy cowboy like me because I am, in fact, a cowboy.

 

yee haw

 

Love happiness. Top 4 on evermore, imo. Could still climb more. Its a grower.

 

I keep humming Cowboy Like Me then a line from Kacey Musgraves' Space Cowboy pops in my head. I think it's a fair comparison.

 

So I waited a full week after release to listen to this with my gf, doing that caused a lot of weird energy like worried it wouldn’t live up to Folklore... I’m now far past that stage (my gf isn’t) and I feel so blessed that two albums of this caliber came so close out of nowhere, gotta say the Haim song I really don’t like, and Gold Rush might be my second least fav but is growing on me, the rest of it is all just magical

 

Revisited fearless today and it is still the perfect depiction of being 16. people who say they don't listen to her catalog before 1989 like sorry can't relate

 

can't relate!!!!!!

 

Me too. Every single time. I've been waiting for someone else to say this.

 

who isn’t a fan of red???? bizarre post lol

 

It seems like a lot of casual listeners in my life find 1989 to be her absolute zenith (which exposure wise and commercially it probably was). Seems like before 1989 if you “didn’t like country” you probably weren’t on board, even if she had already transcended those boundaries long before, but sometimes it take people a minute to come around, though Red definitely aided that transition to pop stardom with all of those bangers. Red is probably my second favorite TS release now, because folklore is just better front to back imo. I definitely prefer her post reputation work over her pre reputation work, which is wild because I have been a fan since day one.

 

Yeah this is what I am referencing. I hear a lot of ppl who didn't rly get into her until 1989 when she was "fully" pop even tho she was obv both popular and poppy before that album. and when I hear that it often goes hand in hand with ppl still not having heard her earlier catalog apart from the singles. 1989 definitely seemed to transcend a bit. I think 1989 is also when I noticed the influx of articles and thinkpieces about taking her seriously and not just as a "guilty pleasure" and feminism and more maturity etc

 

Also omg that post like broke my record for number of edits. Just got off work and I'm a mess apparently

 

finally got this CD after like three different trips to the shop trying to attain it

looking at the lyrics booklet is anyone else's takeaway that "evermore" is from the perspective of the characters in "exile" a few years later? because that's def my headcanon

 

I think so yes

 

i'm curious what the timetable will be for adding the bonus tracks to digital/streaming services. it was a 2 week gap for folklore, and we've passed that period now.

 

I’m sure they will eventually be up, but I think it’d be kind of cool to never put them on and just leave it as a treat for listening to the physical copies

 

That would be evil!! I hesitated even physically buying folklore. I don't have the extra space for physical copies and clutter tbh. I think the last few cds I've gotten were with preorders and concert tickets and they're all still in the wrapper. Minimalists deserve bonus tracks too!!

 

the drums in "tis the damn season" o_O

 

Don't judge me but I'm a country fan and I like pop music but I don't really like pop-country stuff ...like with really glossy production and exaggerated twanginess so her early albums really aren't for me. I never had a problem with those songs and enjoyed when they came on at parties and stuff but wouldn't really listen to them on my own. I started getting more into it when she started going pop with Red and 89 (and when I had to write an in-depth bio for a ticketing website I was freelancing for and ended up doing all kinds of research and watching videos)

 

The two bonus songs are good!
