I am 49 and have found myself wearing a lot of sturdy checks and shackets lately and, following the NYT mag piece, I realise this is because I am Folklore era. Had never thought much about TS other than a few grabby singles until the excitement around that album being released in lockdown, when I had time to give it a speculative listen and loved it. I watched the Netflix doc and, as a middle-aged person plagued with regret about my inertia, am astounded by her drive and how incredibly prolific she is. I’m slowly trying to discover the other albums but definitely need to make my own playlist! Why have I not done this before?(Also really want to book a karaoke room purely to sing All Too Well.)
I knew of Taylor before 1989 and thought she seemed fine but not really me. Basically I dismissed her as another pop princess (with seemingly a lot of drama).
Then I started really liking Shake It Off and noticed how she laughed at herself in it & thought huh maybe I'd missed something...
Then I started listening to 1989 and realised i'd dismissed one of the greatest singer songwriters of all time and now I adore her completely and own everything on CDs in case streaming services fail or something.
I live in NZ so no concert here but am extremely excited about the movie:)

She is a goddess and I never tire of her music.
CD back ups is true dedication to the cause! Enjoy the film
