Notable Quotes

❝ The text is an anthem against bullying, in fact, as Taylor Swift explained, it talks about criticism: not constructive criticism, not professional criticism, but the kind done when one is simply being mean.

❝ Overall, I love defining this album as "The first studio album of the NEW TAYLOR" because it's something new for her, even if the instrumentation references can call back her second and third albums (nothing to do with the first one. Absolutely not).
