Which Hit Taylor Swift Song Are You?
Disclaimer: I'm not a Swiftie. I mean, sure, I fell in love with the sister albums Folklore and Evermore when they were released in 2020. I don't follow Taylor Swift's social media religiously, but I find it fun that she throws clues and Easter eggs to her fans about what she's up to creatively. I admire that she's so influential and prominent with the lyrics she writes and the moods she evokes with her music.
