"OH MY GOD OH MY GOD ONE CANNOT COMPREHEND HOW MUCH I LOVE TAYLOR SWIFT. AND I AM ONE OF THE SADDEST FANGIRLS EVER BECAUSE I DON'T BUY MERCH AND I DON'T GO TO SHOWS BUT SCREW THE HATERS, TAYLOR IS MY FAVE." - Thoughts from Nova's mind.

me whenever I hear Tay
on the radio.

Do I even need to go track by track? Every single track has something about it that makes it memorable. I don't know what it is about this album, but ever since it came out, I've just been sickeningly happy. And I'm completely loving it. NO RAGRETS.

Welcome to New York is like my dream because I'm still too young for BEA but whatever. Blank Space is such a good song and HOLY CRAPOLA SEAN O'PRY IN THE VIDEO *FANS SELF*. Style just has a really catchy tune and I love the speaking parts. Out of the Woods? I can only take it in small doses, yeah, it's that song in the album. The one I don't really like. All You Had to Do Was Stay/I Wish You Would are kind of similar to me so LOVEEEEE. Shake it Off is so simple because it makes me feel good about myself. Also, I've found myself saying "hella" more than I should. Oops.

Then there's Bad Blood with a hella amount of sass (see, I did it!) I love the acapella
beginning and yeah, haters, Taylor CAN sing. Wildest Dreams is one of my
favorites on the record. HOLY SHIZZLES it gives me so much feeling.
It pretty much represents all those guilty pleasure Bad Boy books I read because all I want for christmas is (cocky) BAD BOY (or boy in general. I'm not picky.)
<--- not really a bad boy, but he's casted as the bad boy in a lot of Wattpad stories, so I think that counts. Also, the look. AHHHHHHHHHHH.

How You Get the Girl is basically Taylor taking all the cutest contemporaries and pressing puree into her songwriting machine (aka her brain.) It's cute and then sad and then cute again.
This Love, Clean and You Are In Love are slow so they aren't so giddy but I like them because they make me pause and then I'm like deep in thought "oh. love. that's what it's like." I Know Places is such a dark song that I'm like totally in love. I love the chorus and I kind of hate myself because it sounds so bad when I try to sing it because I can't hit the notes properly. Damn.
Wonderland... I can't even. There's nothing I can say that talks about the perfection that is wonderland. (didn't you flash your green eyes at me?)
AND FINALLY: New Romantics! New Romantics is like Taylor being all sassy and fierce. I love this song because it makes me feel good about myself and it's so relatable and all the jerks who say Taylor only writes songs about relationships and ex boyfriends needs to listen to it. It's like how we're too good to be crying and it's like the Kelly Clarkson song, Stronger. 

Um duh?

Sadly, Taylor keeps taking down any videos or MP3 of her songs that aren't bought. Basically, it's to get rid of piracy which I guess is a good thing. So if you want to listen to the songs, you're going to have to buy them.
