Recommended Posts

Posted

If Folklore was cottagecore and PTSD is dark academia then what aesthetic was Midnights? Galaxy? Jack Antonoff core?

All I'm gonna say is that the whole of folklore is 10/10 but y'all sleep way too much on Hoax, that song is truly the most tortured poem of all 

 

Stood on the cliff side screaming give me a reason

Your faithless love's the only hoax I believe in 

 

I mean just the IMAGERY of this.... I could only hope to have its sexy little sister on the new album :gaycat4:

I don't see the issue with the credits?? Wasn't Jack on 11 of the 13 (84%) Midnights standard songs. Here we've got him on only 50% of the album. Taylor would/will never drop Jack instantly so let's celebrate our Jack Antoaddict making these steps to recovery :clap3:

Okay JUST seeing the writing credits....

 

She knows what she's doing with the healthy mix of Jack and Aaron. She's really been listening. :clap3:

 

I'm hoping for at least one more self-written in the bonus tracks.

Oh thank you.

 

 

Let's hope "Who's Afraid of Little Old Me" isn't another "Daylight"........

It's gonna sound like if Cruel Summer and Call It What You Want had a baby.

:WAP:

fortnight is either a ballad like What Was I Made For? or an upbeat song like Cruel Summer

betty is truly the worst song on folklore, even hoax is at least redeemable for poetic qualities. 

 

floptty is just a misplaced country hymn from the pov of a good for nothing

The 3am songs on MID that Aaron produced simply wouldn't have fit on the standard album which is why they were left off 

They weren't left off. They were actually the first ones to be recorded! That was the concept before she changed direction with Jack.

 

 

As per Aaron:
