evermore was a slow burner for me, it was such a warm cosy blanket during 2021. and then Fearless Red TV came out and ooh what a good time to be a fan

[wastedpotential]

The evermore lobby showed up in force 

 

Anyway I can't give you my top 13 from the decade because that would cause great anguish, but if you take the standard evermore track list and remove Shein Goodbye, Earl and Pots and Pans, you'd probably have something close to my list this time of year 

 

Spoiler

hm to all of folklore, the anthology, and most of midnights and the standard TTPD, plus renegade, birch, the alcott, and carolina 

 

 

Spoiler

The most dishonorable of mentions to Buddy, All of The Eardrums You've Burst Before, I Can Do It Without A Sense Of Taste, The Ginger and the Queen, Electric Toothbrush, Only The Worst, You All Lover Me, and Subaru Lesbians

illicit affairs 

champagne problems 

All too well (10 mins version)

 

Not in order. 

folklore > Midnights > evermore > TTPD

But all are extremely great albums. 
 

All the TVs are great. Can't objectively rank them because I'll still fall back into how I will originally rank the albums (1989 being a far far first compared to anything else), though based on bonus tracks RED TV takes the cake easily. 

[wulmite]

too bad she only released 2 albums this decade 

 

 

[Bitter Aging Twink]

Best post-2020 album: Folklore (yes, it's a basic answer, but it was revolutionary for her career at the time, and very much needed after two shít albums in a row)

 

Best re-recording: Fearless (I'm not a fan of the re-recordings in general, but this re-recording showed the most improvement over the original)

 

Best year: 2020 (She was queen of Covid; practically invented the virus)

 

Top 13 tracks since 2020:

1. Marjorie
2. Mirrorball
3. Invisible String
4. Peace
5. Seven
6. Champagne Problems
7. The Last Great American Dynasty
8. August
9. The Lakes
10. Hoax
11. Tis The Damn Season

All Too Well (10 Minute Version)

Better Man

Timeless

 

The 10 folklore + evermore songs on the list are coincidentally my 10 most played songs of her 2020s releases (minus Timeless). Timeless may be in my top 10 for the decade so far, but I'm still not giving slots on the list to vault songs from 2010s albums.

[AvadaKedavra]

13 Favorite Tracks since 2020

1.  August : My favorite taylor song all time with Style. The instrumental of this has such a magical nostalgic fairytalesque tone. I can see a romantic classic fantasy movie with this song. The bridge is art and the horns instruments in the background. Salt Air. So Windy.
2. Gold Rush : I love how expensive this one feels. So ethereal and magnificent. Cosmic
3. Bejeweled : I live for the tingling crystalized playful feeling of the instrumental and the video is one of my faves from tay all time. 
4. Woulve, Coulve, Shoulve : This song is so so haunting
5. Sweet Nothing : This song makes me cry. So sweet. 
6. The Lakes : This is an escape song in the garden or the farm. Just wanna dissapear and relax while i listen this in the grass
7. Mad Woman : This is the classiest angry song i ever heard. I listen to this and i feel the fire. Im a scorpio so imagine. Does a Scorpion sting?
8. Albatross : This one to me has a Classical Seaside-Maritime feeling. Like a song from an old writer from the old centuries
9. The Great War : I live for the Medieval Feeling of this
10. Fresh Out The Slammer : i love western sounding soungs. Lonely in the sandy desert in the sunset
11. Antihero : This song is very dreamy. Love the video and the old 70S-80S spice to it but i hate the cringe discussion at the end of the vid. 
12. The Last Great American Dinasty : What a Pretty song. This is one of the most upper class american songs i ever heard. So new england
13. Midnight Rain. I play this when im feeling real melancholic in the night and reflecting about stuff

3 VAULT TRACKS
1. Babe (What about the promises promises? Have this on my car rides playlist. So warm. Like a housewife song
2. When Emma Falls in Love (Love the piano. So pretty)
3. Say Dont Go (This one works with the original 1989 record. The same delivery.  Love the dramaticness)

[SoulKiwi]

evermore my sweet winter child, the way your crown has remained steady and untouched since December 11, 2020 (except for a little wobble there in April but I digress)
