It’s FI-NA-LLY August 23, 2019, the proverbial Christmas of the Swiftie calendar: the Lover album drop. The music has only been in the world for about 12 hours now, but we’ve already played it, replayed it, shared it with our moms, cried to it, analyzed all the lyrics, found all the Easter eggs, picked apart each and every possible Joe Alwyn (and Calvin Harris) reference, and seriously considered a tiny tattoo dedicated to it. Before we blissfully descended into Taylor Swift–induced euphoria, though, we had to somehow avoid the extremely tempting urge to listen to the leaked album yesterday, because Taylor has understandably not been thrilled about leaks in the past. So instead, we listened to ALL her songs once again, and we’ve narrowed them down to our absolute favorite 50. It wasn’t easy. You might not agree with them. (We don’t even agree with all of them ourselves—just take a look at “You Belong With Me.”) But we hope you find it fun anyway. So go ahead, stream Lover, and buckle up for some Swiftie ~opinions~.
