Practically impossible to mention all of them on here but my favourites include Robin Buckley, Max Mayfield, Mike Wheeler and Jonathan and Joyce Byers. Season…

Ranking ‘Red (Taylor’s Version)’
Red is Taylor’s second re-recorded album and one of the liveliest. I had the best time listening and re-streaming all the THIRTY songs Taylor crammed into one perfectly recorded album. But my favourite part was definitely all the collaborations we got to hear throughout including the artists- Ed Sheeran, Phoebe Bridgers, Chris Stapleton and Gary…

Ranking ‘Reputation’
Taylor’s sixth studio album features lust, loss and revenge themed songs, full of bulletproof hooks and sticky turns of phrase. Her best performances throughout Reputation are defined by cadence and rhythm, not melody: she’s cool, conversational, detached. Here’s my ranking of Reputation. Call it what you want Dress King of my heart Don’t blame me Delicate Look…

Ranking ‘Folklore’
Taylor Swift songs were basically how I spent my tween ages. But when I heard the folklore and evermore albums, my obsession just took another level. A perfect mix of vocals, lyrics, beats and bridges. (Sorry, I know only so much about music!) More or less, all songs are romance-coded but of course, if we…
