Great Username Posted April 9 Posted April 9 32 minutes ago, Achilles. said: I do agree that that run of songs ruins what would otherwise be a flawless tracklist, but all 3 songs are pretty necessary on the album. betty explicitly ties to august and cardigan, mad woman thematically links with dynasty and ricochet, and epiphany contains the album's explicit lyrics about covid that help to contextualize the album's existence and release. Agreed they are important thematically so bonus track material wasn't well-worded, I just wish the sings lived up to those objectives. There's not really any sing I'd describe as inessential thematically, maybe 'invisible string' at a push but sonically it adds some much needed vibrancy. As a listening experience, 'mad woman' and 'epiphany' are sonically dreary and lyrically clunky for me, and 'betty' just annoying, so this run sags the ablum drastically. And in general, folklore needed some looser and more sonically varied additions.

Kern Posted April 9 Posted April 9 Yo, it's Taylor Swift, droppin' truth on the track Got a story 'bout a legend, ain't no turnin' back She was Clara Bow, queen of the silver screen In the Roaring Twenties, livin' the dream She had style, grace, and a gangsta vibe In the city of angels, she took the ride From the streets to the spotlight, she made her mark Ain't nobody gonna tear her apart Yeah, Clara Bow, she's the OG From the streets to the screen... 7

Prismee Posted April 9 Posted April 9 The Ariana stan just sent me some exclusive lyrics to Florida!!! Spoiler (Verse 1 - Taylor Swift) In the land of oranges and alligators, Where love went sour, now we're haters. Flip-flops in the sand, but my heart's in shreds, Joe's gone, and I'm eating my feelings in bed. (Verse 2 - Florence + The Machine) Sunscreen streaks and salty tears, Lost my love, gained some fears. Thought we'd last, but that's a joke, Now I'm stuck in this Florida smoke. (Chorus) Florida!!! Where love went astray, In Mickey Mouse ears, I'm weeping all day. In the land of retirees and sunburns, Florida!!! Where my heart churns. (Verse 3 - Taylor Swift) From Space Mountain to Epcot's globe, We planned our future, but now I'm on my own. Lost in the swamp of what-could-have-been, Guess it's time to hit the beach and sip on some gin. (Verse 4 - Florence + The Machine) Cruising down Daytona, radio blaring, But my heart's cracked, it needs some repairing. Joe's outta sight, outta mind, I guess, Time to move on, find someone less of a mess. (Chorus) Florida!!! Where love went astray, In Mickey Mouse ears, I'm weeping all day. In the land of retirees and sunburns, Florida!!! Where my heart churns. (Bridge) From the Everglades to Miami's heat, I'm a lovestruck tourist with sand in my feet. But I'll bounce back, stronger than before, Watch out, Joe, I'm closing the door. (Chorus - Taylor Swift & Florence + The Machine) Florida!!! Where love went astray, In Mickey Mouse ears, I'm weeping all day. In the land of retirees and sunburns, Florida!!! Where my heart churns. (Outro) Florida!!! Where my heart churns, But I'll find a new love, and I'll make it burn. In this sunshine state, I'll find my groove, Florida!!! Where I'll make my next move. 3

Achilles. Posted April 9 Posted April 9 Wait a minute wait a minute. The First Testament kinda DID actually age better than any of her pop albums.
every1blinks Posted April 9 Posted April 9 I have tears in my eyes!! The plot twist of the insider being an Ariana stan AND dupe that infiltrated the thread, filling heads with LIES!! If 2+2=4, then OF COURSE they think folkmore is poorly written ! 6
