2024/04/10

What if Taylor Swift told us she was a mastermind? Well, she did! “Mastermind”, track 13 from ‘Midnights’, is a confessional track about how Taylor plays her life like chess: every move and countermove is intricately planned to get the result she desires.

2023/12/27

Taylor Swift once called her Track 5s "legendary" amongst Swifties, and she was correct- they are legendary! Traditionally, Track 5 on any Taylor album is the moment where the shell of the album cracks, and out pours Taylor's most vulnerable song. These ten songs are all quite different, but they all share one thing: Taylor thinks of them as the emotional breaking point, so fans pay extra attention to these tracks.
