But ‘Our Song’ was simply too good and was later released as a single. The song was originally written for a high school talent show during Taylor’s freshman year, of which she unsurprisingly won. Just listen and try say “I was riding shotgun”, instead of “I wus riding shotgurrrrn” … There’s no way you can sing along without putting on a Southern accent. Taylor’s country accent is unmissable in this catchy track. And if you don’t trust us, Taylor even gave it her seal of approval calling it “heavenly”, which it definitely is.īefore ‘Old Town Road’, there was ‘Our Song’. Her Spotify Sessions cover is an indie take, with a faster tempo and hypnotizing synths. Especially when the only road many of us took was from our bedroom towards the kitchen.ītw, Maggie Rogers’ cover of ‘Tim McGraw’ is B R I L L I A N T. Something which is particularly important during isolation. But that’s the beauty of Taylor’s song writing, her ability in allowing you to dream. This song honestly made us all wish our lovers drove old Chevy trucks, despite the fact that they would most definitely not survive on New Zealand roads. From lyrics referencing a Chevy truck to faded blue jeans…What more could you want from a country song about unrequited love? As the opening track on her oh-so-mysteriously titled first album, Taylor Swift, this is where it all began. It would be criminal to not begin with Taylor’s 2006 debut single, ‘Tim McGraw’, of which became an instant pop-country radio hit. Here’s 13 of the most vintage and renewed Taylor Swift tracks which helped us survive isolation: Levels are going to come and go but thankfully for us Swifties, her entire discography will always be here. Music will be the greatest comfort in the world. And they’ve been a real survival tactic for the unprecedented times (side note: how sick are we all of this hearing this phrase?) that we’re in. And during the major abundance of time we’ve had in isolation, we took a journey back through her entire discography. Her storytelling has always made our lives feel like a movie. It is an awe-inspiring album, one so incredible that a simple TikTok of one walking dramatically through the rain to ‘August’ will garner 49.1k likes. But on folklore, we see the return of micro-detailed lyrics reminiscent of her older albums such as Red. The production was far more stripped back and indie than her previous two albums, Lover and Reputation. The release of folklore on July 24th was both a step forward and backwards in Taylor’s journey as an artist. Imagine writing one of the greatest albums of all time in isolation, instead of well, sitting in bed everyday scrolling through Instagram… A fantasy of which few can relate to except for Miss Taylor Swift.
