I Rank the Songs on “Lover” + Her Albums

I didn’t plan on making this blog post but I thought it would be a fun one to write so here we are! I just want to state that my rankings will change SO much considering the album just came out yesterday. I may do an updated one after awhile but as of right now, here’s my rankings for the songs on this album.

Disclaimer: I LOVE all of these songs. I don’t skip anything. I just listen to some WAY more than others.

• The Man
• Lover
• Soon You’ll Get Better ft. the Dixie Chicks
• Cornelia Street
• I Think He Knows
• London Boy
• Cruel Summer
• False God
• You Need to Calm Down
• Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince
• I Forgot That You Existed
• The Archer
• Death by a Thousand Cuts
• Afterglow
• Paper Rings
• Daylight
• It’s Nice to Have a Friend
• ME!

As for albums, here’s how I feel right now:

• Red
• Reputation
• Lover
• 1989
• Speak Now
• Fearless
• Self-Titled

 

What are your top five? This was SO hard, especially rating the songs. I’m sure it’s bound to change but right now, I cannot stop listening to The Man. It’s my favorite song as of right now. Also, I’M SORRY DBATC FANS. I love the song, I really do, but I love others way more right now.

Feminist Friday | Taylor Swift’s “Lover”

I know this post isn’t about books but I’ve been anticipating this album since she announced new music. I’ve loved every single she’s put out so far (ME!, You Need to Calm Down, the Archer, and Lover) so I had no doubt in my mind that this album was going to blow me away.

I debated staying up until midnight to listen to this album but of course, it’s released on a day that I have to work. I decided I would just go to sleep and wake up earlier than usual to hear the full album before work. I listened to it the entire time I was getting ready for work and I am so HAPPY for Taylor. This album is absolutely gorgeous. Here’s some of my favorite songs as of right now:

• Soon You’ll Get Better ft. The Dixie Chicks
• The Man
• False God
• Lover

“Soon You’ll Get Better” is a beautiful song but it’s so sad. This song is about her mother who’s going through cancer again and knowing this and listening to the song makes it so much more emotional.

“The Man” is one of the reasons I wanted to write this and post it today on Feminist Friday. This is 100% a feminist BOP and it’s so true. She basically writes about how her life would be different if she were a man. Here’s some of the lyrics:

• “I’m so sick of running as fast as I can
  Wondering if I’d get there quicker if I was a man
  And I’m so sick of them coming at me again
  ‘Cause if I was a man, then I’d be the man”
• “When everyone believes ya
  What’s that like?”
• “They’d say I played the field before I found someone to commit to
  And that would be okay for me to do”
• “If I was out flashing my dollars
  I’d be a bitch, not a baller”

Since I’m pretty sure this is her upcoming single, I can’t wait to see the music video that comes along with it. I’m so glad Taylor is speaking out about things like this. Her voice has such an impact and I can’t wait to see the rest of the Lover era. I’m praying that she announces the tour and the tickets go on sale in a month or two so I can save up before then. I’ve been a fan of Taylor since I was a little girl and here I am as an adult. Here’s to the Lover era!

If you haven’t listened to Lover yet, here’s some places where you can listen online! I have the second deluxe edition from Target. You can order these online or in store.
