Huh. These lyrics sound familiar: "They ain't never gonna come. And thinkin' he's the one." ("Foolish One")

Summary:
This is a re-recording of her third album and overall I don't like it as much as Fearless (Taylor's Version) (the re-recording of her sophomore album), folklore, or Midnights.*

Overall Rating: 4.0/5
Favorite Song: "Mean"

*Looking at my ratings, I gave the original Fearless a 4.0, Taylor's Version of it a 5.0, folklore a 5.4, and Midnights a 4.2. While I originally thought to give this album a 4.4, I have changed it to a 4.0 to be more in line with my previous ratings. However, further corrective action would be to increase the rating for Midnights to perhaps a 4.4.
