yesssss i love me some Evolution of a Snake!!!! I find their takes so interesting and they also give me a lot of the lore from when I wasn't as big of a fan. 
Swiftologist is obviously great, but I really enjoy Madeline's podcast too (The Lizard Review), she does lyrical analyses on there, very insightful

Idc who she dates, as long as they treat her well and are a decent human being

my final ranking of the standard edition after a week:
 
1. Guilty As Sin?   (Amazing, top 10 song, 13/10)
2. But Daddy I Love Him (just wow, no words, 11/10)
3. Florida!!! (Makes me feral, 10/10)
4. The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived (That bridge deserves a 10/10 alone)
5. Fresh Out The Slammer (A big grower for me, can't get enough of the sound on this track, she needs to do more of this country style 9/10)
6. So Long, London (So beautiful, not my fav track 5  , but I ascend every time I listen 8.8/10)
7. Who's Afraid Of Little Old Me (I can see this going lower later, after the gag wears off it's still a great song, but definitely not the best one. 8.5/10)
8. loml (One of her saddest songs ever, maybe even sadder than hoax. Beautiful song, but I can't see myself going back to it, as it's too sad 8.5/10)
9. Fortnight (I love the emotionless delivery on this one, it really works imo. Makes me feel like a mental hospital patient, 8,3/10)
10. My Boy Only Breaks (A fun bop! The true single of this album, really hopes it gets played on tour 8/10)
11. I Can Do It With A Broken Heart (Another lil bop, maybe the production is a bit too much, but I enjoy it! 8/10)
12. I Can Fix Him (Too short, if it was another minute it would be much higher. I love the country saloon vibe, she really has to go this direction for TS12 .7.9/10)
13. Clara Bow (I enioy this, the production is very "You're On Your Own, Kid" but the melody doesn't do it for me. I do like hearing Taylor Swift say Taylor Swift though. 7.5/10
14. TTPD (Hmm. The lyrics on this are a bit iffy, but I find myself coming back to this song. It might rise in my ranking in time. I like the chorus a lot 7.3/10)
15. The Alchemy (This is a puzzling song, I can't tell if I like it or not. The football metaphors are not for me, none of that on TS12 please. I love the production on this though, and the chorus. Just wish it had different lyrics. The lyric I really like is "Who are we to fight the alchemy"', that's cute. 7.2/10)
16. Down Bad (Not feeling this one. Everyone likes it, it seems, but the chorus is too repetitive for me. It feels like something I can put as backround music when I work out, something I don't have to pay too much atttention to. Overall, it's monotonous. I like it when she says fuck tho. 6.9/10)
 
Overall, I'd give it a score of 83-85. Here's how it ranks among the other albums:
 
1. Evermore
2. 1989
3. Folklore
4. Rep
5. TTPD (Standard)
6. Speak Now
7. Red
8. Midnights
9. Lover
10. Fearless
11. Debut
 
If I combined it with The Anthology though, it would probably be top 3. I actually haven't finished TA yet, I have 6 songs to go. I'll make a full ranking in a few days.

she’s gonna send Travis to come kiss me on the lips for this, right?

this video is an incredible analysis of the album. i'm sure no one outside of the fandom would want to watch a 2 hour video about a single album, but this is what i will point people towards when they try to say her current writing doesn't make any sense and she's just saying things. 
 

i'm not a taylor fan but florida is insane, thank you 

im literally envisioning the most perfect music videos for i can fix him, fresh out the slammer, clara bow, and but daddy i love him. if taylor hired me you guys would be fed for years 

i don't care if it doesn't come with the rest of aka, GIVE US PAWN SHOP BLUES ON LASSO

Have some class!

Midnights WISHES it had a hymn like that. Guilty As Sin is a reject from the Holy Bible

not a country album but imagine the collapse if the cover was serving this..she’s been basing her recent album covers off of random albums so this would be iconic 

My dream tracklist:
 
1. Lasso - as an upbeat lush country opener ala Ride that's single worthy and her finest fucking album opener since, well, Ride 
2. Country/hip hop BOP featuring the Weekend that's single worthy
3. Country/pop BOP featuring Taylor Swift that's single worthy
4. Country ballad ala Video Games that's single worthy
5. Mid-tempo country duet feat. Father John Misty
6. Sad country ballad featuring Dolly Parton
7.Experimental country/electronica BOP featuring Billie Eilish
8. Experimental country/electronica trip-hop ballad ala Tulsa Jesus freak only better, with a Jimmy Jimmy style outro
9.  Experimental country/electronica rap featuring Quavo or ASAP Rocky
9. Mid-tempo country duet with synth elements feat. Orville Peck
10. Country ballad ala Wild at Heart
11. Prettiest Girl in Country Music feat. NIcky Lane
12. Henry, Come on
 
Bonus tracks
 
13. Hey Blue Baby
14. I must be stupid for being so happy
15. Stand by Your Man
16. A big country hit cover but GOOD.
 
 

I respect Taylor as an artist, but most of her music just isn't my thing and I only really like Down Bad and Florida
Accordingly, I will only come in here to talk about those two songs
But those two songs should be singles because I said so

what is happening in the ldr universe  one day we're getting random neil pics, then nothing happens, then we're sure she'll announce smth at lanachella, but silence 
 
and now we're suddenly deluluing for an AKA rerelease? This is like being a swiftie except nothing ever happens 
 
I just want to know if Lasso is actually happening atp, so I can get on w my life 

Ok so I made a different version of the TTPD tracklist, a bit more chronological and easier to listen. 
 
1. TTPD 
2. Down Bad
3. Fortnight
4. Florida!!!
5. How Did It End? 
6. Who's Afraid Of Little Old Me? 
7. I Can Do It With A Broken Heart 
8. Guilty As Sin? 
9. The Alchemy 
10. So Long, London 
11. Fresh Out The Slammer 
12. But Daddy I Love Him 
13. I Can Fix Him 
14. My Boy Only Breaks
15. loml 
16. The Smallest Man 
17.The Black Dog 
 
the first 4 tracks are a bit random- but i feel like they work sonically. I love TTPD as an opener, it's kind of a thesis statement for the record.
Next we have Down Bad- which is pretty ambiguous as a song, except if you count "like I lost my twin". I'm still deciphering this line, bc on one hand, Joe and Taylor *look* very similar, but Matty and Taylor are similiar, in the sense that they're both good songwriters, that have a large following and a big fanbase. I'll just put Down Bad there bc it's in the same key as the next song, Fortnight,so it sounds cohesive enough.
Fortnight & Florida are similar in a way that I feel like they're both fictional- Taylor has never actually been to Florida, like she has for tours, but she definitely hasn't been in the part of Florida she's talking about. Fortnight is interesting- it feels like she's making up a situation where she's married to someone (Matty?) but neighbours with an ex (Joe?)
 I chose HDIE as Track 5, even though it isn't the best choice it's still extremely sad, and tbh I see it as a Joe track. They're not officially ended, but it's over in her head. SLL is a amazing track 5 but I needed it later so it works chronologically.
Tracks 6 and 7 is a little interlude about fame and the eras tour, I feel like they're connected.
Track 8 is where it really starts cooking. On Guilty As Sin, she's fantasizing, she wants the rat, she NEEDS him. She wants to break free, and she doesn't care if she's crucified.
On The Alchemy, she has possibly hooked up with him, or something else has happened between her and Ratty. She realizes she can't fight it anymore, the universe is telling her that it's meant to be. 
On SLL she realizes she can't live a double life, she has to let Joe go. The spirit is gone, it's over, and she knows it. 
On Fresh Out The Slammer, she's out of Joe's basement, she is a free woman! And now that she's free she can do whatever the fuck she wants. Who will she be calling first? Obviously the rat, and now they don't have to be secret about it.
On the next song, But Daddy I Love Him, she's in full delulu mode, head over heels for Matty, and she's trying to convince everyone it's gonna work out, and she doesn't give a shit that the whole world is against this relationship. Truly a modern day Love Story. 
On the I Can Fix Him, she's still deluluing herself, I can change him, he's gonna be fixed, until the end of the song, where she's like WHOA um- maybe I can't. 
On My Boy Only Breaks, it's ended. Matty saw a future with Taylor, something longterm, and suddenly realized he didn't want that. I like how the previous song mentions that SHE can fix him, and now on this one, there's a line where she says "Once I fix me, he's gonna miss me". There's a lot of lines that mention they had a history (2014) so this feels like a Matty song
On loml, it's truly over. She realized that it's all fake, and that he was truly hiding the awful person that he is. The whole time he was manipulating her with the idea of marrying and having kids someday, and then one day he just left her, burnt the whole relationship down, the curtain dropped and revealed his lies and carelessness.
The next song, TSMWEL, is the anger that Taylor is feeling after it's over, asking herself if someone hired Matty to mess her up, truly questioning how someone could do something so awful to someone else.
The last song, The Black Dog, is a perfect way to end the record. She's bored on her phone, and she's getting updates about Matty's location, and her seeing that he's at another bar inspires this beautiful track about how even though he'll find someone younger and prettier, she'll never get his references and understand him like Taylor did. 
 
 
And that's the end of my delusions!! I really need to find more hobbies, but this was fun. I enjoy listening to the album this way, it feels a lot more balanced. There's more bops between all the soul crushing songs, and it really tells a story. The only track I removed was Clara Bow, I have nothing against it, I just feel like it makes more sense to end the album with a postbreakup song, since this is clearly a breakup album.
