Review of Taylor Swift's Albums Part 2

Let's continue to the review of Taylor Swift's albums part 2 !

3. Speak Now 


                              

Among all of the albums , this is by far the MOST FAVOURITE of all five albums . Everything is so perfect about it . The album cover , the songs , the music video . Everything is magical and fairy-tale , which I really love. I really adore this purple gown that sets the colour of the cover and with some sparkles all over it , it's like a beautiful oil-painting. Just like the previous post , here are my top 3 favourite songs in this record :

•  Back To December 

I read somewhere on a Taylor Swift fan page that she wrote this song while on a flight to Tokyo ( if I'm not mistaken ) . This song is about she apologizes to her ex-boyfriend , saying that the guy does not do anything wrong but it was Taylor who decided to not commit in that relationship anymore. I really love the music video since it consists of snow falling into her house through the roof and everything is covered in snow . It is a good representation that the relationship has lost its spark and its bound to end . 

•  Enchanted 

 The song with the title that is also happens to be the name of one of her perfume ( Taylor Swift ; Wonderstruck Enchanted ) . It is a story of having that magical connection of meeting someone for the first time . It is like you are eager to know more about that person , as if you have known that person for a long time . The orchestra that set the background of the song really harmonizes with Taylor's soft voice . A song that truly captivates the feeling of being enchanted when meeting someone.

• Never Grow Up

This song may not be really popular or  mainstream unless you  dig into this album . It is a truly hidden gem in this record because listening to it for the first time already made me cry . Just as the title , this song speaks of Taylor's experience of growing up and the contrast of having to live alone in the big city . I assume that anyone who listens to this can relate to their childhood years and making all of the bittersweet memories come into mind .


4. RED  

" Loving his was red " . The album that speaks of the crash-and-burn heartbreaks and also nominated for the Grammy awards Album of The Year category ( although sadly lost to Daft Punk ) . Taylor's style also changed with the release of this album as she gravitate towards the vintage style with lacy tops and black leather tight shorts. Different than Speak Now which carries the country-genre , Red is mixture of pop-country with a little bit of dubstep ( I guess as in I Knew You Were Trouble song ) . Done with the intro , here are the three favs from the whole record :

• All Too Well 

Being the song that took Taylor the longest time to write , it turns out to be one of the best song that she had ever written . There are so many beautiful lines in this song such as " You tell me 'bout your past thinking your future was me" or " You called me up again just to break me like a promise , so casually cruel in the name of being honest " . The lyrics perfectly portrayed the feelings of betrayal and heartbreaks of having a relationship that doesn't work out .  

• Starlight 

The song that is not as mainstream as I Knew You Were Trouble or Red but is actually  super catchy and the lyrics are great as well . It is about a 1945 dance party and vintage vibes surrounds this song . The lines " we could get married , have ten kids and teach them how to dream " is totally funny for me as it is completely random as compared to the rest of the lyrics . Listening to this makes me want to get up and dance as you can feel the party vibes from the beat of this song . 

•  The Moment I Knew ( Deluxe Version ) 

I knew about this song quite late actually as it is not really promoted in the album . It is a bonus track in the deluxe version of Red but I tried listening to it out of curiosity . It turns out that I like this song more than some of the songs in the original version and feel like it should not be a bonus track instead . This song is about Taylor getting frustrated as her boyfriend did not come to her birthday party and his friends knew that something is wrong. Taylor's voice really shined in this song and that got me hit the replay buttons again and again .  


5 . 1989

1989 marks the transition of Taylor from country princess to a pop superstar . Influenced by the 80's vibes pop , this album has no trace of country at all , unlike her four previous albums. I love the cover of this album as it is classic and not to forget it is also a polaroid picture.  I took this version because my one of my most favourite songs are in the deluxe version. The cover is different as it only shows half of her face and a huge , bold , written with marker ,  1989 . Very creative . Now , let's move to my top three favourite songs in 1989 album :

• Blank Space 

Another super super catchy song from TayTay. Unlike All Too Well , this song took her the shortest time to write as most of the lines were already written in the preceding years before the recording session of this song took place. " I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream " , one of the lines taken from the song referred to Taylor's being a serial dater and date just to break up afterwards and write songs about it . Basically this song is about the media making fun of Taylor about her love life and she decides to write the song from the perspective of the so-called " serial dater " .

•  Wonderland ( Bonus Track / Deluxe Version )

 This song reminds me of the Speak Now era as it is basically written based on the story of Alice in Wonderland. It is actually the song that truly captures my interest when I first listen to 1989 ( maybe because I love Speak Now so much ) . Wonderland seems like it is the pop version with SN vibes , and I totally love this song but I wonder why it's only a bonus track :( .

• You Are in Love (  Bonus Track / Deluxe Version )

A song about one of Taylor's best friends love life but the lyrics of this song truly magical for me . The line " puzzled , then says , you're my best friend , and you knew what it was , he is in love " , Taylor sings it while stopping phrase by phrase and the moment she sings " he is , in love "  got me screamed in excitement because it's so sweet in my opinion. 

I'm sorrrryyy that these reviews are soooo long but I hope you enjoy reading it ! I'm sorry for my grammar but I try my best to tell my opinion. Whatever it is , I will keep on loving Taylor <3 . See you soon and stay tuned for updates !
