How’s everyone doing? Personally, I’m sorry, this Era came out at a weird time for me. As for the highs I’ve been traveling a lot, but for the lows I’ve had one of the worst few weeks of my careers, so I’ve been bouncing back and forth, and haven’t posted a lot for this Era.

How’s everyone liking the new album? As a whole it seems to be a hit, off the charts, quite literally. Personally Down Bad is my favorite, I’ve listened to it way too much! Still getting “used” to the new album, finding my favorite, building out my playlists. Curious to hear other people.

Oh, and while I have you, what prompted this is that all of the collectors editions are back at store.taylorswift.com.

    Welcome back! I was wondering why the community has been so quiet with all that’s been going on.

    Obviously, my wife is head over heels for the album. She listens to it on loop constantly. Especially Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me and is obsessed with the witch metaphor

    For me, I think it’s actually astounding how good the songs are. On first listen I was unimpressed but upon re-listen I find them to be absolutely some of her best work. I love the songs that have unexpected messages that you wouldn’t normally find in a song, like But Daddy I Love Him and I Can Do it With a Broken Heart. I also love the creativity of songs like I’m Gonna Get You Back.

    My only gripe is her sudden obsession with Florida! I’m still trying to process why it is in multiple songs!

      Thanks! I’m always here, just quieter lately, hopefully will be more annoying to the non-swifties soon.

      Glad she’s loving the album! I like most of the songs, some kind of blend together, but I should probably just sit down and listen to them separately to learn them a bit more.

      There’s a theory that Florida is where Taylor was when the breakup happened, and then Houston came next in the tour and she talks about the first few days of being single again. So a lot of her processing was while she was down there… not sure how I’d handle a breakup in Florida…
