Give me a minute before you ask me to rank the four new Taylor Swift songs. I can't rank them yet. I still have to finish analyzing the lyrics, music, and vibe. AND the gossip behind the songs. That will take me 2 more business days.

Some of us need another listen. I really do. BUT if you already have one, you can announce your favorite in the comments. At first listen, I would say mine is Patient Zero, but I don't want to sound basic because that's the one Taylor chose as the single. Well, I know I said I needed another listen and proceeded to reveal my favorite. You can judge me all you want, but that one captivated me more, okay?

I have to be honest with you. I miss her writing style from The Tortured Poets Department. Someone has to say it. We love that you are happy now, Taylor. But your writing from that painful era is simply amazing. Heartbreak always takes the more poetic part of people. But not only TTPD. The twins folklore and evermore are included too. That's pure poetry. Anyways, I love the vibes that she's giving us now with The Life of a Showgirl. I didn't expect an encore, though. I thought she was about to open a new era with the new single, not extending the last one. But we have time to figure that out until the VMA's... We Swifties know that Taylor always has an ace up her sleeve. Remember how she announced TTPD. Aha. That's right. So I won't lose hope yet.

It's always a pleasure to listen to new Taylor songs. My favorite part of every Taylor Swift's release is comparing notes with friends. For The Life of a Showgirl release, my friends and I gathered in a house and commented on our first reactions to every song on the album while we were listening to it. We took notes, then shared them and discussed them. Yes, like a kind of lecture invented by ourselves. I love treating her releases as big events to do something special. What were your plans for this release?
