I'm telling y'all it went to the Blank Space Academy of serving hooks and ***** :ryan3:

Now... Yes My Boy's chorus is amazing, but  I would not put it in the same conversation as Blank Space. Sure, they both have a melodies that will haunt your brain forever, but on top of that, the Blank Space's lyrics are next-level brilliance. 

 

To me Blank Space stands tall above all of her pure uptempo pop songs. Nothing really comes close (even if it's not my personal favorite).

Oh it's not at the Blank Space level but it attended some of her classes :gaycat4:

My Bible Only Exhibits Her Favorite Verses is on the same level as Grammy-Hero to me :bird:

I'd say the second half of the My Bestie Only Prays The Rosary bridge washes the Amen-Hero bridge (and I think the reverse for their verse melodies), but stacking them up chorus v. chorus is really quite a close call :giraffe:

Now what was I thinking when clearly the proper biblicization here is Amen-Hymn :deadbanana4:

 

Excuse me y'all I'm still a bit hungover :gaycat4:

But actually while I'm thinking about it, I think My Beliefs Only Make Me Sanctified has one of the strongest outros of Her career this side of The Other Side Of The Trinity

 

Just say when, I'd play again
He was my best friend down at the sandlot
I felt more when we played pretend
Than with all the Kens
'Cause he took me out of my box
Stole my tortured heart
Left all these broken parts
Told me I'm better off
But I'm not
I'm not, I'm not

Truth, dare, spin bottles
You know how to ball, I know Aristotle
Brand new, full-throttle
Touch me while your bros play Grand Theft Auto

It's true, swear, scouts honor
You knew what you wanted and boy, you got her
Brand new, full-throttle
You already know, babe

In my mind Guilty as Sin? and The Alchemy would be the perfect 3rd and 4th singles :suburban:

The Alchemy starting to go viral right before football season starts and we get new fan cam material for Travis and Taylor.. the universe works in mysterious ways. Always favorable to Taylor, though. :gaycat3:

That part is so insanely catchy, one of the best songs on the Anthology. Out of place yet still coherent in a weird way.

Anyone shading Robin will see from my lawyer. 

Unfortunately it is a systemic problem among Swifties. I just know the same ones slandering Robin also don't appreciate Dear Reader, as both are (almost) album closers and slow songs that deviate from her usual melodies and lyrical themes. More education is needed so that people may recognize these songs for the 10/10s they are.

Wrong! While Dear Reader is an 11/10 of a song, Robin barely makes it to a 0.5/10

This is PERFECT. I dont want The Alchemy to be a single mostly because there are stronger songs imo BUT I love it having more activity. I hope it becomes the first album track to really go viral from TTPD. On Midngihts she had a lot of those tbh (namely Midngiht Rain and YOYOK) so I hope we finally get a few from TTPD)

You won't fool anyone pairing Robin with the masterpiece that is Dear Reader.

3. Guilty As Sin?

 

1. I Hate It Here

2. So High School (I played it on loop on release week so it had a very strong head start, but a good bunch is catching up fast)

3. How Did It End?
