After listening to this, I can really see the appeal of Taylor Swift. Her lyrics are very simple, but portray a kind of bittersweet nostalgia that could really resonate with someone who has had the same kind of experiences. The music is pop as pop can be, with some songs harkening back to 80s synth pop, while others feel like the dirty pop of the 2000s. So it’s all very good if it’s what you’re into, but it’s just not for me.
