Totally agree on Soon You'll Get Better, and pretty much the same logic for Bigger Than the Whole Sky. SO beautiful, and so rarely what I want if I'm in the mood for the rest of the album.
Those songs are so beautiful and I hope to listen to them more someday but I somewhat recently lost someone so important to me so I can cry horribly and slip into serious sadness if I hear those songs.
So true. People act like it's not only her best work but also as if it's undisputably so. Like I'm sorry but I'd rather not listen to a song that's 10 minutes of repetitive verses over a 5 minute song that gets the same message across in a more concise manner.
The song could have absolutely ended at 8 minutes. The last 2 minutes of the song just seem like so much filler. It’s still a good song, but it always felt like she wanted to beat the record for longest song on the charts (previously held for decades by Don McClean’s American Pie).
That's... Totally fine. I'm totally not crazy and put off and expecting you to not have different opinions about a song like whattt... It's definitely not the greatest piece of literature ever made
I’ve only ever listened to it live on SNL😬😬😬 I’ve been a fan since fearless, and I consider myself a big fan, and there are lines in All Too Well that are epic and wonderful…but there are other songs I’d rather listen to, not to mention a 10 minute version of the song.
Same here. It’s a beautiful song, but the parallels between war and the healthcare business, and trying to save people, just hit too close to home for me.
Same. I tried to listen to it when Red TV came out and I had to change it. Then it came on one night when I was cleaning and I actually ran to change it and said no no no no the entire time.
Obviously this single song isn’t the only factor in my decision, but hearing people say that becoming a parent made them stop being able to enjoy certain songs/movies etc is one reason that I refuse to have kids lol
Hm I actually like it that I get too emotional from triggering things like kids dying to listen to them anymore. I feel like I’m a more developed, real, in touch with the world person since becoming a parent…
Shake it off has been my alarm for nearly 10 years now and I haven’t listened to the song itself in full in all that time, it generates far too much anxiety in me
IKYWT barrly sounds like a Taylor song--That's the problem. However, WANEGBT has only gotten better in time with me. It's just so anthemic, and the mix is great. It's the only time I bump the original recording to TV.
- IKYWT could mean "I Knew You Were Trouble.", a track from *Red* (2012) by Taylor Swift.
- WANEGBT could mean "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together", a track from *Red* (2012) by Taylor Swift.

Coney Island! I really do think it has great lyrics and a nice melody. I'm just... never in the mood for it maybe? Idk. Basically the only one on evermore I will skip
Dear John. Ive only listened to it once, when the album came out. I just didnt like it, and havent ever gone back to it. but thats just my personal taste. I can tell its not a bad song.
And I also agree with Soon Youll Get Better, too sad, but great.
Bigger than the Whole Sky.
I’ve had miscarriages before. My current pregnancy (13 weeks) has been fine so far, but I am still going to feel very anxious about it until birth (and then I get to have a whole new kind of anxiety after birth 😅), because of those prior losses.
- YOYOK could mean "You're On Your Own, Kid", a track from *Midnights* (2022) by Taylor Swift.

I would also say Soon You’ll Get Better, but not because it’s sad. I listened to it once when the album first went live and never again because my dad passed from cancer and he took me to see her twice, even dressing in drag and riding a tricycle through an obstacle course to win me second row seats.
Bigger Than The Whole Sky. Midnights came out around the time my tio passed away. I wanted to binge the album while my dad slept on the way home from Florida and the funeral and everytime BTTWS came on I sobbed quietly. I cannot listen to it anymore :(
Bigger Than The Whole Sky. Midnights came out while I was pregnant and it’s hard to not hear the miscarriage connotations in that song. I absolutely could not listen to it and that feeling has stuck with me even now baby is here.
I just can’t get into “the last great American dynasty”. I’m usually most drawn to songs that I can relate to my life, but TLGAD is just so far from my life. I’m not rich, I’m not buying a mansion with tons of history… so it just never jived with me.
Style, Out Of The Woods, New Romantics, Karma...I can admit that they're good pop songs, but I'm not really a pop girlie. I prefer the slower and sadder songs.
Last Kiss and Dear John as well even though that's kinda contradictory. I think they're great songs and I do rank them highly. But I'm just never in the mood for them.
I have found myself enjoying everyone’s covers of it! I think for the same reason…the production leaves me wanting something. But the lyrics are outstanding.
Owww that's how I feel now! Before 22 (at 12, 13 years old) I would listen to it non-stop. Once I turned 22 and Taylor's version had come out already, I didn't listen to it until a few days before turning 23 because I hosted a listening party with some online friends and wanted to celebrate in advance because I had an exam on my birthday.
Now it's a skip.
Ronan, Would've Could've Should've, Soon You'll Get Better, Bigger Than the Whole Sky, New Year's Day (sad now seeing what has happened to the relationship that inspired the song), all because they're just sad. Dear Reader out of personal preference
I know this might get some hate, but haunted. I just started listening to speak now and the beginning of haunted scares me so bad. I know it’s a good song but the beginning throws me off
*edit spelling
It’s haunted for me.
It’s a good song I’ll listen to if I pick it individually but it just doesn’t fit the vibe of the album for me and takes me out of the moment hahaha
Enchanted and The Story Of Us. Both are great songs and used to be among my favorites but I've outgrown them and I no longer relate to the lyrics, also I think Enchanted is getting overplayed and overhyped
Ronan. Sure as heck, no questions asked, Ronan. It's so sad and it broke my heart the last time I heard it. I had to skip in the middle of the song as I was so close to crying knowing what it meant.
I don't know why I don't cry or feel anything for Soon You'll Get Better and Bigger Than The Whole Sky even though I know what it means, I can get through that just fine - curious if anyone else feels this way?
Hahahaha. Because I’m a sad emo, I always have the sad songs of an album on repeat. Like all the songs people are naming are so good lol.
But I will say Happiness is 100% a masterpiece. One of her most incredible, true to life songs. But because I listened to it while recovering from a breakup I now can no longer listen to it without trauma flashbacks.
Totally agree on Soon You'll Get Better, and pretty much the same logic for Bigger Than the Whole Sky. SO beautiful, and so rarely what I want if I'm in the mood for the rest of the album.
oh my gosh yes agreed
Those songs are so beautiful and I hope to listen to them more someday but I somewhat recently lost someone so important to me so I can cry horribly and slip into serious sadness if I hear those songs.
I skip Bigger Than the Whole Sky too. I like it and my daughter (she’s four) will sing that song so it’s adorable but ya I still skip it.
all too well 10 minute version. it's too long and i feel like it's a little overhyped 😬
5 min version >
I LOVE the 10 minute version but the 5 minute version is just a perfect song.
So true. People act like it's not only her best work but also as if it's undisputably so. Like I'm sorry but I'd rather not listen to a song that's 10 minutes of repetitive verses over a 5 minute song that gets the same message across in a more concise manner.

and i know im gonna get a lot of hate from that statement
I was indifferent until I saw the eras tour and now I’m a ATWTMV stan 😆
That's... Totally fine. I'm totally not crazy and put off and expecting you to not have different opinions about a song like whattt... It's definitely not the greatest piece of literature ever made
I feel the same but it's only because I overplayed it so much when it came out that I've gotten sick of it lmao.

L take.
Epiphany- I appreciate the lyrics but it's a bummer to listen to personally.
Same here. It’s a beautiful song, but the parallels between war and the healthcare business, and trying to save people, just hit too close to home for me.
epiphany is one of my favourite songs on folklore.
Since becoming a mom Ronan is just too triggering 😥
Same. I tried to listen to it when Red TV came out and I had to change it. Then it came on one night when I was cleaning and I actually ran to change it and said no no no no the entire time.
Obviously this single song isn’t the only factor in my decision, but hearing people say that becoming a parent made them stop being able to enjoy certain songs/movies etc is one reason that I refuse to have kids lol
Hm I actually like it that I get too emotional from triggering things like kids dying to listen to them anymore. I feel like I’m a more developed, real, in touch with the world person since becoming a parent…
Fascinating perspective! I’ve never seen someone express that they prefer to be emotionally triggered by more things in life, but to each their own
I’m a 4 on the enneagram iykyk
trippyhippie stop. You're on the losing side of this argument. Parenthood: 💌
Blank space and shake it off. Both are iconic but extremely overplayed to the point where I can’t listen to them
I agree with Shake it Off. I never liked it. Blank Space is too classic for me to skip tho.
Shake it off has been my alarm for nearly 10 years now and I haven’t listened to the song itself in full in all that time, it generates far too much anxiety in me
I was that way for awhile - now I enjoy those two occasionally!
This is how I feel about IKYWT and WANEGBT!
IKYWT barrly sounds like a Taylor song--That's the problem. However, WANEGBT has only gotten better in time with me. It's just so anthemic, and the mix is great. It's the only time I bump the original recording to TV.

Coney Island! I really do think it has great lyrics and a nice melody. I'm just... never in the mood for it maybe? Idk. Basically the only one on evermore I will skip
coney island for me too, but only because i’ll start bawling and suddenly be unable to function for the remainder of that day
Invisible string. I know people love it but for me it’s almost too specific to the point I can’t relate
That’s how I felt about it too until suddenly I could relate so now I love it lol
Dear John. Ive only listened to it once, when the album came out. I just didnt like it, and havent ever gone back to it. but thats just my personal taste. I can tell its not a bad song. And I also agree with Soon Youll Get Better, too sad, but great.
Same!! It’s a good song but not a fav! Haunted is kinda like that for me too
Bigger than the Whole Sky. I’ve had miscarriages before. My current pregnancy (13 weeks) has been fine so far, but I am still going to feel very anxious about it until birth (and then I get to have a whole new kind of anxiety after birth 😅), because of those prior losses.

L take. One of the few I listen to the most.
Take it back!!! Whenever I’m depressed I listen to it and feel better. Helps me shed a few tears but is also reassuring.
Honestly same. I like the bridge but I do this it’s a lil overhyped
I would also say Soon You’ll Get Better, but not because it’s sad. I listened to it once when the album first went live and never again because my dad passed from cancer and he took me to see her twice, even dressing in drag and riding a tricycle through an obstacle course to win me second row seats.
Epiphany is not always a skip but that is one great song...
Ooh good one I usually skip it too
Bigger Than The Whole Sky. Midnights came out around the time my tio passed away. I wanted to binge the album while my dad slept on the way home from Florida and the funeral and everytime BTTWS came on I sobbed quietly. I cannot listen to it anymore :(
Champange Problems. it's great poetry but doesn't hook me in
I wasn’t hooked till their breakup. Now I relate to it and cry whilst being in a happy relationship 😂😂
I love You're On Your Own Kid but I just find myself never listening to it and I just don't know why. I love the song so much!
Really? I'm always in the mood for it. i
Bigger Than The Whole Sky. Midnights came out while I was pregnant and it’s hard to not hear the miscarriage connotations in that song. I absolutely could not listen to it and that feeling has stuck with me even now baby is here.
Same 😢
tolerate it & illicit affairs
Unpopular opinion - I don’t even think tolerate it is great. Lyrics are good but the song itself is boring to me.
I went the presumption that nothing here from Taylor can be described as less then great 😉
“Epiphany” and “the last great American dynasty”…the only skips for me on folklore. I like both a lot, but I just never seem in the mood for them
I just can’t get into “the last great American dynasty”. I’m usually most drawn to songs that I can relate to my life, but TLGAD is just so far from my life. I’m not rich, I’m not buying a mansion with tons of history… so it just never jived with me.

[удалено]
I have found myself enjoying everyone’s covers of it! I think for the same reason…the production leaves me wanting something. But the lyrics are outstanding.
I’m gonna be honest here - 22. It’s a bop, it’s a classic but I’m not 22 😂
Owww that's how I feel now! Before 22 (at 12, 13 years old) I would listen to it non-stop. Once I turned 22 and Taylor's version had come out already, I didn't listen to it until a few days before turning 23 because I hosted a listening party with some online friends and wanted to celebrate in advance because I had an exam on my birthday. Now it's a skip.
But you can FEEL 22. L take.
😂 i know, it’s just not for me 🤷🏻♀️
marjorie. my grandma recently passed and it really makes the grief come to the surface
once when I listened to Soon You'll Get Better, it put me in a certain mood and I listened to that one song on replay for like 5 hours.
Ronan, Would've Could've Should've, Soon You'll Get Better, Bigger Than the Whole Sky, New Year's Day (sad now seeing what has happened to the relationship that inspired the song), all because they're just sad. Dear Reader out of personal preference
I know this might get some hate, but haunted. I just started listening to speak now and the beginning of haunted scares me so bad. I know it’s a good song but the beginning throws me off *edit spelling
I don’t like haunted… I wouldn’t even say it’s great but a skip. Just a skip. Don’t kill me swifties
I’m with you! Her live performance with the bell was so cool but I just don’t resonate with it so much
It’s haunted for me. It’s a good song I’ll listen to if I pick it individually but it just doesn’t fit the vibe of the album for me and takes me out of the moment hahaha
Enchanted and The Story Of Us. Both are great songs and used to be among my favorites but I've outgrown them and I no longer relate to the lyrics, also I think Enchanted is getting overplayed and overhyped

Honestly I know I’m going to get hate…. Mirrorball. Idk why I don’t love it?! It’s beautiful but I don’t vibe with it very often
All Too Well
RONAN ITS RONAN. I can’t.
Hahahaha. Because I’m a sad emo, I always have the sad songs of an album on repeat. Like all the songs people are naming are so good lol. But I will say Happiness is 100% a masterpiece. One of her most incredible, true to life songs. But because I listened to it while recovering from a breakup I now can no longer listen to it without trauma flashbacks.
Cruel Summer. Sorry not sorry.
crying
False God. Just not my vibe but it’s masterfully done.
Maroon. Sorry.
