2020 was a big year for Taylor Swift, she graced us with 2 new albums during these trying times. Moving away from her usual pop sounds she dabbled into the alternative genre and has done a magnificent job, if I do say so, and I am not just saying that because I am a huge fan. Her songs came at the time where self-reflection was being made and cozy melancholy songs were what I needed.  Without further ado here are my top 10 songs from both albums.

Folklore released July 24, 2020 (Check it out on Hoopla):

1.  mirrorball

2.  exile (feat. Bon Iver):                                 

           My first time hearing this song I cried. You can hear the confusion and pain from both singers and it really strikes a chord in your heart.

3.  my tears ricochet

4.  invisible string

5.  the last great american dynasty 

6.  cardigan, august & betty:                             

            These 3 songs are grouped together due to the story they create. Obviously, you can listen to them separately, but I think the full effect comes

            from listening to them back-to-back.

7.  this is me trying

 8.  illicit affairs

9.  Seven

10.  hoax

Evermore released December 11, 2020 (Check it out on Hoopla today):

1.  long story short

2.  champagne problems

3.  no body, no crime (feat. HAIM)

           It has that vibe and energy as Carrie Underwood’s Before He Cheats just with a more mature sound.

4.  gold rush

5.  willow

6.   ‘tis the damn season

7.  Ivy

8.  tolerate it

9.  coney Island (feat The Nationals)

10.  happiness
