"I was so ahead of the curve, the curve became a sphere. In just a few words, it sums up the fallen dreams of doomed love. This is one of my all-time favorite lyrics. OK sorry, I couldn't help it - one more from All Too Well. "You taught me about your past thinking your future was me." (All Too Well) That distinction can make all the difference. This line succinctly illustrates the very different way two people can view the same relationship: One as something sacred and cherished, the other as something to keep hidden and downplay. "You kept me like a secret, but I kept you like an oath." (All Too Well, 10 Minute Version) On SNL Saturday, Swift performed that new 10-minute version of All Too Well. (You can read about why Swift is rerecording her albums here.) Last week, Swift dropped her latest rerecorded album, Red (Taylor's Version), which not only includes the long-awaited extended version of fan favorite track All Too Well, but also a handful of other From the Vault songs that pull at our heartstrings. On top of new album drops, Swifties now also look forward to rereleases of the singer-songwriter's first six albums, which include never-before-released "From the Vault" songs. Every time Swift releases an album, fans know we're in for a rollercoaster ride of powerful emotion, strong storytelling and revealing personal narrative. Taylor Swift's vast musical catalog has something for just about everyone, from fans of bops (Alexa, play 1989) to those who enjoy heart-wrenching lyrics (See: Folklore, Evermore). Throughout nine albums and two rerecordings, Taylor Swift has demonstrated her strong lyrical abilities (in addition to everything else).
