You’ve probably guessed by now that I’m a Taylor Swift fan. I don’t know that I’d call myself a Swiftie, while I’m close, I’m far too old.

I loved the music she put out last year. So much of it had depth and a fearlessness. “Willow” from Evermore just sounds so beautiful to me. The only things I’d change are: “Priceless wine” and “90s trend.” These word combinations sound trite/commercial to me when the rest of it works so well. (Always a critic, right?)

Wait for the signal and I’ll meet you after dark

Show me the places where the others gave you scars

Now this is an open-shut case

Guess I should’ve known from the look on your face

Every bait and switch was a work of art
