I relate to you so much cause i also discovered taylor's music in 2020 and I've been exploring her music to this day😭 . Midnights carries such an essence to her old albums and you can very clearly tell she was rerecording her old stuff at that time. Anti hero and dear reader might be my favorite songs on that album. I think she was not ready to reveal her depressed self yet at the time of reputation and that took away the vulnerability she once showed. Reputation is a vibe for me, especially when you're driving but yes it's not exactly perfect for any occasion or any time. Anyways, i loved your thoughts and your anecdotes :)

Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching, I’m glad you enjoyed! And yeah, I can definitely see that perspective, especially regarding reputation. Having the entire world against you will no doubt affect your mental in a big way, and I wouldn’t be surprised if reputation was like a “let’s stay confident through the pain” kind of moment for her. Makes Midnights even better to me, because I love that she was able to air out her more vulnerable thoughts!

can you do a review on that Lil' Wayne mixtape that came out a few months ago Tha Fix Before Tha VI

[@MattsRandomJourneys]

Unfortunately, it's a bit too late in the year for me to do a review of that project. I missed it back when it came out, and I'm probably just gonna wait until TC6 comes out.

[@SpeedBlazer99]

thats gonna be a long wait if he keeps delaying it@@MattsRandomJourneys

[@MattsRandomJourneys]

I know. I remember the wait for TC5 all too well.

[@SpeedBlazer99]

that was a 5 year wait, right?@@MattsRandomJourneys

[@MattsRandomJourneys]

Just about, give or take a year or so. He announced that he was making TC5 in 2012 and it was supposedly done in 2014, but it wasn't released until 2018.
