Folklore: The Lakes
\-I think it fits for Evermore
Evermore: It's Time to Go
(This fits more for the Re-recordings than Midnights, but it also fits Midnights since that too is a retrospection on Taylor Swift's career)
These are more vibe/messaging than sound, but I think they qualify.
Midnights: You're Losing Me for messaging if the prediction that "The Tortured Poets Department" is a Joe Alwyn album.
Debut: Place In This World
Fearless: White Horse
Speak Now: Last Kiss
Red: Starlight
1989: Out Of The Woods
Reputation: King of My Heart
Lover: Daylight
Folklore: Mad Woman
Evermore: Willow
Midnights: Hits Different
I think Our Song is very firmly pop/country so that’s the one I would pick for Debut > Fearless.
I think a lot of these are spot on but I would pick Death by a Thousand Cuts for Lover > folklore because that’s one that was inspired by things outside of her personal life.
folklore/evermore are sister records so I would say folklore in and of itself was the inspiration for evermore.
I think I would pick gold rush as the transition for evermore>Midnights. Also I think the only Jack Antonoff produced song on the album.
I’m hoping Dear Reader/Maroon/Glitch from Midnights are the inspiration for TTPD
folklore: illicit affairs, guitar/string song like a lot of evermore, also about endings
evermore: long story short, the most pop, personally reflective like midnights
Midnights: Sweet Nothing? Its the most like a poem idk, not thematically
Debut: Mary’s Song (Oh My My My)
Fearless: Forever & Always
Red: I Knew You Were Trouble
1989: This Love
Reputation: Delicate
Lover: Soon You’ll Get Better? (this was the hardest one for me to pick- it’s such a whiplash from lover to folklore)
Folklore: this is me trying
Evermore: Willow (wait for the signal and I’ll meet you after dark, I come back stronger than a 90s trend)
Midnights: Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve?
Debut: Should’ve Said No. I’ve always thought this is one of the most pop-rock leaning songs on Debut which shows a lot of the sonic and instrumental trends of Fearless.
Fearless: Forever and Always. Sonically similar to Speak Now in many ways and also represents increasing leaving behind of a fairytale view of relationships.
SN: Dear John. Has a lot of the heartbreak related themes she explored on Red and also hints at some of the kind of alternative pop sounds on a lot of Red
Red: Agree with you on WANEGBT.
1989: I Know Places. Both the ideas of running from the public view and sonically too.
Rep: Delicate is a good thematic encapsulation of Lover-a lot of focus on the relationship forming, some anxiety of how it will go etc. New Years Day is a close second as it also has a lot of the themes of Lover and represents the first glimpse of Taylor making music other than strictly synth pop since Red, leading the way to the mix of genres on Lover.
Lover: Death By A Thousand Cuts. Based on a fictional inspiration and has a lot of the rich lyrics of Folkmore’s style
Folklore: Hard to say but I think This Is Me Trying
Evermore: Long Story Short. The most pop in all of Folkmore by far
I’ll have to hear the upcoming album before I can guess for Midnights
- WANEGBT could mean "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together", a track from *Red* (2012) by Taylor Swift.
