I’ve set the old Taylor DDD to be unlisted, but I left a link in the description if you want to watch. For all intents and purposes though, this one replaces it in every way. Thanks everyone!

"Style is just kinda.... perfect" couldn't agree more. it's just the perfect pop song. that's it, can't see anything wrong with it, it's just great.

I always say folklore has a better overall feeling to listen as an experience, but I go back to Evermore to listen to specific songs, which are some of my favorites of her entire discography (no mention of Champagne Problems?!)

Everyone has beef with reputation but I personally love how it turns from an edgy album to an album about finding someone who loves you despite your reputation. The journey from Ready for It to New Year's Day is what makes it so enjoyable for me :)

An important point to clarify in the whole Taylor/Kanye tape drama is that Kim Kardashian posted a heavily edited version of the video. The ACTUAL version mysteriously leaked as soon as Kimye was finished riding the Taylor-hate gravy train, but if you take the time to listen to it you will find that Taylor told the truth. Her beef was always that she didn't appreciate being called a bitch and ESPECIALLY Kanye taking credit for her success, a line of the song that he conveniently didn't play for her. She also complained about the mv which she has described as revenge porn. I know that not a lot of people care about this and especially in 2021 it feels very trivial, but people still largely believe that Taylor was "caught in 4K" as you said and that actually isn't true, and the aftermath of that video sent her into a deep depression that altered the trajectory of her entire life. So yeah, they're all millionaires and it's stupid that we had to hear about their drama in the first place. But that doesn't change the fact that the whole situation was based on a big fat lie, and it deeply hurt her, and that's not okay no matter how rich she is.

i kinda disagree with a lot of takes about reputation on youtube. the album was only marketed as edgy and very reputation based, when it had like so much more than that. the album starts out with big production moments and starts to strip that as it goes along. it's about finding love with all the noise around you!

one of the main things that people keep forgetting, and that tells you so much about who she is as an artist, is that SHE ended her first record deal. She had signed with RCA, but they wouldn't allow her to write her own music, so she decided to step away because she's always said she wouldn't be a singer if she wasn't a songwriter, her priority is always her artistry. She knew that almost no 14 year olds had the opportunity of a record deal, and she might never find one again, but she STILL took that risk. She only signed with Scott later because he clarified he WANTED her to write her own music. I just think it's one of the clearest, and earliest, examples of how committed she is to her work and how strong her integrity is.

*"The fact that 'Cruel Summer' wasn't the first single, is a crime against humanity."* THE WAY I COULDN'T AGREE MORE... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know some people don't care about being seen as villains but being called a snake at the worldwide level must not be a great feeling regardless of how much money you make. Specially if you prize yourself by the good relationship you have with your fans. Millionaires are people too. Except Jeff Benzos and Ellon Musk, the jury is still on that.

I love this decision to go back and revise a classic DDD with new albums and more info. I’d love to see the same for Björk or The Strokes!

From the Mic who gave us the Taylor Swift Deep Discog Dive…..it’s the Taylor Swift Deeper Discog Dive

"Champagne Problems" from Evermore is probably my favorite Taylor Swift song ever. It's not particularly flashy, but the melancholy regret it manages to convey, along with the incredible peer pressure of being in a romantic relationship, just HITS.

All Too Well is definitely the best Taylor swift song. The build and energy, the storytelling, the metaphors, and the emotion all lead to a masterful song.

I'd been hoping you'd redo this one! I love how literally everyone knows and agrees that Cruel Summer deserved to be Lover's lead single.

This dude is like the Scott the Woz of music reviews. Glad to see him finally get to T Swifty in her current form.

Taylor is one of the rare artists nowadays that is versatile. Each albums doesn't sound the same but her songwriting skills remained

Disagree about Taylor not being a technical singer. She definitely had a long way to go at first, but by 1989 she was really nailing her vocals and a lot of her songs now are difficult for many singers in terms of range / breath control etc. (examples being cruel summer, death by a thousand cuts) If you want to see Taylor slaying vocals, watch out of the woods live from the 1989 tour

I loved Reputation. I don't know who advertised it as "edgy", but I never expected her to stray so much from what she usually did and that was to write songs about love and relationships from her point of view. And she did precisely that with this album but by exploring the concept of her reputation as well. Perhaps the "edgy" or "dangerous" sound and the current modern production was meant to convey her turbulent emotions and her situation in that moment in time in 2016, in which plenty of her songs were about the kanye/kim drama and going into a new relationship despite her outward reputation in the media. Also I'm not sure why you included criticisms about why she didn't speak out about the white supremacists calling her their "princess" when like you said she had a media blackout. I'm assuming you didn't watch Miss America where she talks about being nervous about speaking out about politics and other social issues due to her coming from a country background and always being told not to be outspoken or like the "Dixie Chicks". Obviously her team denouncing the white supremacists at the time would have been great, but including that bit of criticism in your video when evaluating the Reputation album didn't quite fit. Yes there were lots of more important issues happening at that time but you can't really expect Taylor to address everything. She also had a sexual assault lawsuit going on that she didn't talk about in her album either. I think it should also be noted that the kanye/kim recordings were eventually revealed to be edited and faked, and not much was talked about that. I understand the time has past and no one really cares anymore, but people were literally sending Taylor tweets that she was cancelled and other malicious things that took a toll on her mental health, leading HER to stay away as though she was the villain. Kanye's mv with the wax figures was also blatant revenge porn to Taylor, like there was nothing she could say or do, he was just going to portray her naked body anyway. The Reputation album for Taylor was probably more about healing and trying to move on by addressing her emotions at that time, and everything was just playing over and over again.

what made me love taylor swift even more this past year was the fact that she made alt and folk songs when I was getting really tired of pop, so I think folklore and evermore might be my favorite ones by taylor!

Respect for admitting that he was dismissive about Taylor Swift. Its rare.

Great video but I keep hearing the "reputation is not relatable" criticism. It definitely dives deep into her personal struggles, but isn't that the point of art? I personally found it immersive. I was able to experience emotions and feelings and a story I wouldn't have understood otherwise. There's a lot of storytelling and emotions demanding to be heard. It doesn't require a lot of digging to understand some of the basic context of the songs (public cancellation and going from toxic relationships to finding the one) and once you do, the songs make so much sense and don't sound like trying to be edgy or pure anger. They sound like hitting rock bottom and recovering. I think a lot of us can empathize if not relate to that.

"pulled into B.o.B.'s sphere of influence if you will" GODDAMMIT THAT WAS GOOD

I dismissed her because “pop music sux” for so long. However, “Love Story” always got stuck in my head since it played excessively in the grocery store where I worked at the time. I found myself really liking “Blank Space.” It wasn’t until Folklore where I listened to an entire album and was incredibly impressed. I am going back through her discography now and enjoying a good deal of it.

Since we brought up the Kanye thing here, I just want to bring up something that I never hear mentioned and I don't think a lot of people know who weren't actually watching the 2009 VMAs live. Beyonce did win an award that night, and all she said was "Thank you. I remember my first time on this stage, and what a moment that was for me as a young woman and artist. I would like for Taylor to have her moment. Taylor?" And she brought Taylor up on stage to give her speech uninterrupted. The kindness and class of Beyonce that night literally makes me tear up.

I will NOT stand for you "I Wish You Would" slander, but otherwise great video. I love watching your longer deep dives.

12:03 - "If there's anything I would knock Red for, it's the run time. Red is over an hour long and it really doesn't need to be." *laughs in Red (Taylor's Version) 2 hours and 10 minutes run time*

Respectfully disagree on reputation-it’s probably my favorite of her 3 pop albums. However, I do understand why it might not land for everyone who isn’t a massively invested fan. I love it because of the larger story it tells, and those louder sounding songs grew on me more when I looked at them as character pieces (a la blank space) or as a representation of the “noise” surrounding her reputation. That being said, if you’re NOT a super invested fan, I can see why these songs could come off as grating. Of all her albums, I think it’s the one that exists most within its own context. It’s hard to divorce it from the story it’s telling. Whether you view that as a knock or an enhancement of its quality I think completely depends on perspective! (And as a huge fan, for me it’s an enhancement!) That being said, I loved this DDD (Mic the Snare’s Version). Here for the no body, no crime, and cruel summer appreciation especially!

I mean, Andrew Lloyd-Webber did say that the only enjoyable thing about cats was writing 'Beautiful Ghosts' with Taylor so maybe... Cats.

I love that you called evermore what it is, a folk album. the storytelling packed into that project is seriously some of her best

Can't wait for the bit on Reputation. A man could make a channel based on the chord progressions on that one

“Dear John is the longest song” when you realize that this was before Red TV

Him: Make Red shorter and I will call it a classic. Taylor: oh? Here's all 30 songs

Ironically, reputation is the album that got me to into Taylor's music. Call it what you want, the so called "pettiness" is what made me love her. All the tracks that you listed as the "worst" especially lwymmd, was the best in my opinion.

Better Than Revenge may have aged about as well as spoiled milk, but it will always be one of my guilty pleasure songs because it was one of the first songs of hers I fell in love with again when I started listening to her again in 2019 after spending the previous 8 years as a rock fan. (Also betty is my favorite song of all time)

I almost cried when you called Style "perfect". Thank you.

Sugarland's collaboration with Taylor is so overlooked IMHO.

I had always wondered if you were ever gonna come back to these old DDDs, and it's very nice to see that come to life. Can't wait to see what the other revised DDDs will look like.

I did see people feeling disappointed that her new recording of her old albums is the exact replica of the old ones but like, that's exactly what she's trying to do.

"Red is the definitive Taylor Swift album" YES MAN, louder for the people in the back (in that grammy room)

I honestly love Lover. It shows what Taylor can do and how her finding someone who loves her and sticks by her side helps her music. It's such a happy album, and it's the first album I listened to in it's entirety.

The fact that you referenced my favorite ever video of that girl joking about all the guests in the 1989 tour... another hit from my favorite youtuber. Also to share an opinion I think you may appreciate, I also think False God is one of the best Lover songs, but I have always thought it would be a PERFECT song for Carly Rae Jepsen.

Mic i’m really sad you can’t emotionally resonant with The Best Day off of Fearless, even though i’m not a teenage girl, the writing on that song still hits me hard lol

I was in highschool when Fearless came out and I remember liking it in passing but not paying much attention to Taylor's music or career over the years, besides the big singles that everyone heard. Recently I watched her documentary on Netflix and totally fell for her. I went back and listened to everything up until Fearless (her really country stuff is still probably my least favourite), but I am currently OBSESSED with folklore, I think I know the lyrics to every single song. I sob everytime I play exile and my tears ricochet. I have been playing nothing but Taylor Swift for the past couple of months and I'm obsessed. 1989 is literally the perfect pop album and I disagree, there is not ONE skip. Every single song is amazing. Out of the Woods might be one of the best songs ever. Red has All Too Well and Treacherous, which reduce me to tears everytime. Reputation is so friggin good, Delicate, Getaway Car and Dancing with Our Hands Tied are all perfectly written pop songs that get stuck in your head forever. Add Gorgeous to that list aswell, so goddamn catchy. I could go on forever, point is, her music makes me happy. It's helped pull me out of a dark place. I can't believe it took me so long to really get her. I blame the singles, honestly the singles she picks don't do her music justice. The real magic is on her album cuts. She's legendary and I'm proud to call myself a Swiftie now.

Reputation is NOT supposed to be an edgy album. It’s supposed appear that way (have the reputation of being an edgy album), but actually be a story about finding love amongst the chaos. I seriously don’t get how anyone who actually listened to the songs on the album don’t realize that literally only like 2 of them are about drama and her venting while the rest are about love.

Taylor Swift has become an even more exciting artist in the last years. She tries different things and sounds each album even if not hardcore. I expect her to release a rock album after she is done with rerecords. I think she should release 1989 tv before the 80s trend faze pans out.

Honestly I feel the same way about evermore. Would really love to see her go in the sort of folk-country direction on her next album - "no body, no crime", "dorothea", "coney island", "ivy", and "cowboy like me" were some big highlights for me from that album. I think you summed it up well - folklore proved she could play in this space, evermore proved she could own it, and I'm really excited to see what happens after she gets her masters back!

As a die hard swiftie, I am pleasantly surprised by this DDD! For someone who is not a hardcore TS fan, I appreciate the amount of research and dedication you’ve put into this. Especially your deep cut picks, very awesome! My only qualm (music wise) is why do you not like “I Wish You Would”? I love that one! It’s some excellent Jack Antonoff production and I blast it every time it comes on. As for the phone call drama, I understand the impulse to say “idgaf about these millionaires”, but in doing so you ignore a lot of context. Like the fact that it’s well established at this point that Taylor was telling the truth about Kim editing the footage. If you watch the whole thing, you can see how Kanye talks Taylor in circles to eventually get the answer he wants. So when the whole snake thing happened, it’s understandable how the whole thing broke her brain

Hearing Mike cite All Too Well as Taylors best track before her rerelease of Red just cements that All Too Well was incredible before the ten minute version came out.

IMO 'Tolerate It' is her best song from both Folklore and Everymore. Who else (Other than Radiohead) could make a piano song feel regular, but have it actually be in 10/4?

the dubstep drop in I Knew You Were Trouble is such an instant tell that it's from 2012 Great video as always ! Very cathartic for someone who grew up when the misogynistic criticism of taylor swift was the mainstream, and was having trouble reconciling her own internalized misogyny with how much her songs were bops

I hated LWYMMD until seeing it live at the eras tour. The energy of the reputation set was incredible and really gave me a better appreciation for the album.

A friend of mine has recently become a fan because she realized the reason she disliked Taylor and her music was because of internalized misogyny and outright hatred of being “too girly.” Now we just rock out to whatever song we’re loving at the moment.

I would say if Reputation and Lover were necessary for her to make Folklore I'm totally fine with it

I love Taylor so here's my fave song and fave lyric from said song from each album 1. Debut "I'm Only Me When I'm with You" "sometimes we don't say a thing, just listen to the crickets sing" 2. Fearless "The Way I Loved You" "he can't see the smile I'm faking, and my hearts not breaking cause I'm not feeling Anything at all" 3. Speak Now "Enchanted" "the lingering question keeps me up, 2am who do you love" 4. Holy Ground "I left a note on the door with a joke we'd made, and that was the first day" 5. 1989 "You Are In Love" "one night he wakes, strange look on his face. Pauses then says 'your my best friend' and you knew what it was, he is in love" 6. Reputation "King Of My Heart" "im perfectly fine, I live on my own I've made up my mind im better off being alone" 7. Cornelia Street "hope I never loose you, hope it never ends, I'd never walk Cornelia Street again" 8. folklore "Betty" "will you kiss me on the porch in front of all your stupid friends" 9. evermore "Dorothea" "you got shiny friends since you left town" P.s. Pls don't crucify me for not having All Too Well as my number 1 on red haha

I think a lot of the hate for Taylor comes from the fact that it’s oversaturated in the marketplace. I do not despise her music by any stretch of the imagination. I don’t like how much it’s been overplayed to the point where it’s difficult to escape it, so I understand why people hate it, not that I agree with it because she is very talented. Like, I’ll freely admit that she has a ton of bops. Even as a scene kid!

This definitely helped me appreciate her artistry more. I'm trying to get into her stuff coming from a listening background of experimental hiphop, artpop, and avant garde music. Keep up the great work!

Man I was so harshly anti-Taylor Swift in high school, yet hearing clips from those big hits still brings me back (in a good way).

I’m a huge Swiftie and I’ve been having a horrible day, thank you for this video

Also, in defense of Reputation, I believe it gave Taylor her much-needed catharsis. Of course, it's not reflected well with the tracks but the "edgy" sound and the angry title track felt like an overnight screaming that slowly dies down as you reach the last tracks.

Reputation is not supposed to be "edgy". I still find it hilarious how a lot of people don't get it. It's called bait & switch. It's sold as an edgy album but when you go into it, you realize that she's still that starry-eyed girl who came from a small town and has found acceptance with her family, friends and lover, she's nice to people to are good to her and she's a petty b!tch to those who deserve it. Also, Rep TV is going to burn a hole in space-time continuum. Lol. Edit: we love that Mic is an Evermore stan. Good for you.

Please, now, redo the strokes' DDD, it's your duty mister thesnare. Also do xiu xiu please please please

Didnt expect this, but man im so glad to see you talk about her music again!

I honestly wasn't into her music until the folklore/evermore era. Those albums completely opened me up to looking back at her discography and I found it's her eye for detail in the songs she wrote that had me coming back and listening to more and more songs. The earlier singles weren't my cup of tea but MAN the Taylor hate train definitely had internalized mysoginy in me avoiding her even more. I'm glad I grew up and got pulled into her discography. I think seeing her eras and growth is exceptionally cool.

OHMYGOD I HAVE NOT SEEN IT YET BUT SO EXCITED. ALWAYS WANTED YOU TO COVER HER.

All too well will make me cry every single time. What a perfect song.

“I’d recommend starting out with” *lists half her discography* Oh Mr Mic, never change

I'm not exactly a Taylor Swift fan as I only heard the "popular songs", but I gotta admit that I once found "State of Grace" and it became my favorite Taylor Swift song ever. You've convinced me now to listen to Folklore and Evermore. Let's see how that goes :)

Oh my god, I don’t know what to say, this was such an amazing video essay about my favorite artist, great funny moments too, thank you!

YES. THIS IS WHAT THE PEOPLE NEEDED!!! Thanks Mic!

cowboy like me is probably my favorite song from her, I can’t describe it but it’s just so good. However I think cardigan is probably one of the best songs in her discography. and Last Kiss is one of her best bridges

Oct 16, this video release date, was my birthday and I couldn’t ask for more amazing gift! I’m a big fan of Taylor, thank you for doing this!

So glad that you did a more in depth version for Taylor! I was 13 when red came out, and I will have just turned 22 when it’s re recording is out, so she’s a pretty special and influential artist to me!! This video made me so nostalgic, and I remembered so many parts of my teenage years that Taylor’s music accompanied💗

"no man drew has ever looked at me and lived to tell the tale" angry that i laughed out loud

Ohhh this is the video I've been waiting for!! After checking out another DDD I looked for one about Taylor Swift but did find that the old one lacked the detail and nuance I expected. This is amazing and I'm looking forward to watching this video!

Just discovered your videos and I want you to thank you for making stuff like this. As somebody who is typically a rock and metal guy who is looking to expand more into other genres, I love watching these to know where to go for others

"I can't wait to see how Taylor pursues acting. *Cats 2019 ominously appears in the background* Meanwhile, Lorax 2012 is over in the corner, being ignored. *AS IT SHOULD BE.*

Taylor Swift releases have this duality in them. As made evident by Folklore and Evermore. We're all kind of aware Folklore is of summer and Evermore is of winter. In addition, Reputation and Lover can be listened back to back and have this artistic scenery of nightime fade into daytime.

Watching this in Dec 2022 is kinda crazy. So much has changed since this video was made. Kanye has had the biggest public downfall in history while at the exact same time Taylor has had her biggest musical success (Midnights). It's just interesting to see a real life battle of good vs evil and even though it took a couple years, most people are finally willing to admit that Kanye's an asshole. It's a great time to be a swiftie

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE

My favorite song by Taylor has to be closure. I learned it on the piano after 6 excruciating hours of struggling to understand the tempo but when it clicked I cried

Could you do a dive on The Cure? I’d love to see you talk about their musical evolution

thank you SOOO much dude !! EXCELLENT spotlight on Taylor's works...LONG MAY SHE REING

Dare I say this was a terrific video. Terribly funny, remarkably detailed.

as a taylor stan, this analysis is amazing and funny 😭😭 thank you for this

YESSS thank u for this!! since everyone's doing it here's my top songs for each album: 1. self-titled: "Mary's song (oh my my my)". this song is criminally underrated 2. fearless: I couldn't pick between ybwm or "Love Story" so I'm picking "White Horse," the beginning of THE track 5 saga 3. speak now: "Dear John." just...everything about this song. literally my top 3 favorites of her. 4. red: "State of Grace." One of her best songs PERIOD 5. 1989: "Blank Space." Is it a basic choice? yes. is it also one of the best songs she's ever released? also yes. 6. rep: "Getaway Car." heart-wrenching AND an absolute bop? I think yes 7. lover: hard to pick tbh. I love lover (no pun intended), sygb, death by a thousand cuts, and of course cruel summer. I feel like that one's the objectively right answer. 8. folklore: "August." cause you weren't MINEEEEE TO LOSEEE. 9. evermore: either champagne problems or Dorothea. a beautiful album but I must admit folklore is my favorite. Taylor is such a prominent artist in the media and in pop culture that I think it overshadows how solid her discography is and how well it's gonna age in the long run. Thank you Taylor, and thank you Mic. not your real name but thank u.

I'm genuinely pretty upset that you didn't talk about the fact that in 2019/2020, it had come out that Kim Kardashian had heavily edited the phone call between Kanye and Taylor, and had only released snippets of it that made it SOUND like she was "agreeing." She had purposefully released it to cast her as the "villain." And, of course, years later everyone was over the drama and she was dragged through the mud for nothing. By then, people didn't care about the fact that she was innocent the whole time. But you know if it had been the other way around, the media would've jumped at the chance to slander her. She usually, if not always, has good intentions with people. I know you said you didn't care, and I recognize that it may seem like "petty drama" but it really wasn't. I replied to another comment talking about its significance in her career path, and how the "there are more important things going on" excuse is one that's a bit too overused. Like obviously there were bad things going on socially/politically, etc, but this was a very significant moment for her and altered her career path for good. She was literally shamed into isolation by the general public ganging up on her - it had been building along with the general hate she'd received from the media for years. That is truly significant.

I agree with you about Cruel Summer. What was she thinking??? Lover was a good album but having a song like that and NOT releasing it as the first single (or a single at all) is INSANE. It would have come out in the summer too and would have been the song of that summer. My favorite album of hers is either 1989 (it's just perfect) or Folklore (maybe even more perfect). I guess it's a tie. She's the real deal and I can't wait to see where she takes us next.

I have always loved her music, Speak now is one of my favorite albums of all time, it's the most honest one and I like it musically the most. Haunted with the orchestra just is so good. 1989 and Evermore are also excellent records.

Dang, going straight from Weezer to Taylor, you’re speaking my language Mic!

This video was so well put together

I'm a huge fan of Taylor since I'm 14, i'm 23 now! I grow up with her and it's just *so* good seeing her evolution for real. My favorite songs of her (each from one album LOL) are -TS - Picture to burn -Fearless - Forever and Always (taylor's version is Mr Perfectly Fine) - Speak Now - Sparks Fly / Mean - Red - State of Grace / All too Well (it's a crime they didn't let her made this one a single) - 1989 - I know Places / New Romantics - Reputation - Getaway Car - Lover - It's nice to have a Friend / Cruel Summer / False God - Folklore - The love triangle trylogy (Cardigan, august and betty) / Mirroball and My Tears Ricochet - Evermore - No Body no Crime and Champagne problems I get what you said about Reputation being a bit conservative but... The thing with Reputation is that IT ACTUALLY IS a conceptual album. You GOTTA know the TS drama of those years to fully appreciate it. The 1989 era actually DROPPED a HUGE depression on TS and an ACTUAL eating dissorder, and if you add the KymYe (manufactured by them) drama, you see that Taylow WAS ACTUALLY very VERY broken: She might sound conservative because she *needed* to be to get back to herself, she might have wrote her lyrics *like a snake* because that's what she needed to do to get back and to rebrand herself because if she didn't she would have stayed an hypocrite for life and that would have ended her career and her mental health. She had EVERY RIGHT to feel and be petty about everything because they actually BROKE HER and KNOWING the whole drama makes one appreciate that album on a whole different level. It wasn't entirely a "LOOK AT THE DRAMA" album but an "I need healing" album, dropping all her actual feelings and being petty because *she needed too and she had every right too*. It's a conceptual album because it tells us HER STORY on THAT EXACT MOMENT, she tells us HER FEELINGS on that exact moment. Reputation tells us how she felt in that year (ah, also, Reputation was written in less time than any other of her albums which also explains why they sound so similar to each other, she got less time to it) and it's a "I'm trying to get back", making the whole drama a storytelling for HERSELF more than to others, it's a view from her own lenses about the whole thing, how she went from heaven to hell in less than MONTHS thanks to the drama with that man, and how she retell that story to rebuild herself and her career, and how she found REAL LOVE while she was broken. And that's why we have also so many pure love songs like Gorgeous and Dress and New Years' Eve, because while healing herself from that "stupid" drama (that actually fucked her mental health and made her almost drop evverything), she found *someone* who actually didn't cared about the whole drama and actually tried to meet her. Since then she hasn't actually given real interviews like she used to do, she now is way more secretive of her life, because being so much in the public eye afected her considerably enough to make her just... *want to actually just dissapear unless it's for her career and her fans*. It's sad how people disgain Reputation, it's actually a HEALING album and if you see it through her lenses, see it through the actual drama, you actually can see how it *actually* healed her hahahaha it's actually quite fascinating! Sorry if I have mistakes, english isn't my first lanugage but I try hard ^^

thank you so much for doing this. i actually found your channel through your video on reputation! i was searching up thinkpieces on the album after watching the reputation tour special on netflix and stumbled upon your wonderfully refreshing analysis (which frankly made me nostalgic for late '00s/early '10s youtube, what with the "recorded with a potato" quality and all). my favorite taylor album has got to be folklore, simply because it came out at the exact perfect time to be in sync with my personal life and gave me that "woman cries to taylor swift songs, claims to deeply relate to them" experience i'd never really had before. in fact, when i was a teenage girl i didn't really care for taylor swift and my absolute favorite band in the world was the national - so you can imagine how weirded out i was when folklore had been announced. anyway, here we are, now i'm genuinely invested in taylor's work and looking forward to all the re-recordings because i prefer her huskier, more mature tone and love story doesn't sound grating to me anymore.

I’m voting Death Cab For Cutie this time. They’re one of my favorite bands, yet they’ve sadly become a one-hit wonder over the years with I Will Follow You Into The Dark. They’re so much more than that song and their music is so much more varied and interesting, and a DDD on them would introduce a lot of people to their other work.

Really enjoyed this dude!

Glad you did this, I really like the new ddd structure! :)

I cheered when I got the notification for this video! I think Fearless was the first CD I ever owned (that wasn't a comedy album), so it holds a special place in my heart. The opening to "The Best Day" is like a Manchurian Candidate-style code that will still make me ugly cry.

“Look What You Made Me Do” and “ME!” might not be the best singles but it’s a very necessary ones.

Thank you for doing revisit to Taylor's discography!!! You have made such a lot of great points or opinions and I respect all. Always nice to see someone take time to discover her music and then even made a great video! How to say, everyone can find a nice Taylor Swift album to dive into, no matter what. (P.S. still #reputation is my favorite album haha)

She won me over. My pop tastes were 80’s/90’s - I’m in my late 40’s. Then I went off the deep end with eclectic tastes: experimental/extreme/jazzy/whatever... Then I came into contact with the monolith that was “1989”. I was astounded at its success, then I came to respect it’s craft. I agree Style might be the best track. Then I also realized Red was a borderline masterpiece! I still need to get around to Lover. I find Folklore, etc very interesting. And now, Midnights manages to have a late-night edge that seems more genuine.
