Her latest album has really shown me how many people are wrong about which Taylor album is the best. Clearly 1989 is a masterpiece that no other album can come close to.
I didn’t know you and @michaelbailey.bsky.social were the same age
I don’t know who thought it was a good idea to schedule all three of my classes exams on the same week but I’m mad at this person.
