While most of us have been struggling to fill all the free time in the lockdown due to COVID-19, Taylor Swift has kept herself extremely busy. Being stuck at home, she looked back, at the stories that she has known and penned down a beautiful album, Folklore.
This is a set of songs that are stories of people all around us. It sounds like nothing Taylor has ever written before.
Take a hot sip of tea and gaze out the window while the songs from this album give your imagination a magical ride. Here are our top five picks from this new masterpiece, Folklore:
1. The last great American dynasty
And they said
There goes the last great American dynasty
Who knows, if she never showed up, what could’ve been
There goes the maddest woman this town has ever seen
She had a marvelous time ruining everything
2. Exile
I think I’ve seen this film before
And I didn’t like the ending
You’re not my homeland anymore
So what am I defending now?
You were my town, now I’m in exile, seein’ you out
I think I’ve seen this film before
3. Cardigan
And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
Under someone’s bed
You put me on and said I was your favorite
4. The 1
I’m doing good, I’m on some new shit
Been saying “yes” instead of “no”
I thought I saw you at the bus stop, I didn’t though
I hit the ground running each night
I hit the Sunday matinée
You know the greatest films of all time were never made
5. Mirrorball
I want you to know
I’m a mirrorball
I’ll show you every version of yourself tonight
I’ll get you out on the floor
Shimmering beautiful
And when I break, it’s in a million pieces
