For the past week, I have been binge listening to Taylor Swift's Newest album whenever I get the chance.

Originally I was hooked on "The Man" and had some reservations when it came to her preppy songs like "Paper Rings" or the slower songs like "It's Nice To Have A Friend," but slowly and surely I grudgingly let those stream on my Spotify and fell in love with every single song.

This list was extremely arduous to cultivate, because, if I could, I would divvy up all the songs and set them into three categories, or levels of how I favor them.

I still don't 100% have a favorite or least favorite just ideas of which I stream the most. So with that, here's my best to worst ranking of the songs on "Lover."

1. "I Think He Knows"

Favorite Lyrics:

"He got my heartbeat
Skipping down 16th Avenue"

2. "London Boy"

Favorite Lyrics:

"They say home is where the heart is
But God, I love the English"

3. "The Man"

Favorite Lyrics:

"I'd be just like Leo, in Saint-Tropez"

4. "Cruel Summer"

Favorite Lyrics:

"Devils roll the dice
Angels roll their eyes
And if I bleed
You'll be the last to know"

5. "Lover"

Favorite Lyrics:

"Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close forever and ever?"

6. "Paper Rings"

Favorite Lyrics:

"In the winter, in the icy outdoor pool
When you jumped in first, I went in tooI'm with you even if it makes me blue"

7. "Cornelia Street"

Favorite Lyrics:

"But then you called, showed your hand
I turned around before I hit the tunnel
Sat on the roof, you and I"

8. "Miss Americana And The Heartbreak Prince"

Favorite Lyrics:

"You know I adore you
I'm crazier for you
Then I was at sixteen
Lost in a film scene
Waving homecoming queens
Marching band playing
I'm lost in the lights"

9. "I Forgot That You Existed"

Favorite Lyrics:

"I forgot that you existed
And I thought that it would kill me, but it didn't"

10. "Death By A Thousand Cuts"

Favorite Lyrics:

"But if the story's over, why am I still writing pages?"

11. "The Archer"

Favorite Lyrics:

"Who could ever leave me, darling?
But who could stay?"

12. "Afterglow"

Favorite Lyrics:

"Fighting with a true love is boxing with no gloves"

13. "You Need To Calm Down"

Favorite Lyrics:

"But you're takin' shots at me like it's Patrón
And I'm just like, damn, it's 7 AM"

14. "Daylight"

Favorite Lyrics:

"I once believed love would be (burnin' red)
But it's golden"

15. "False God"

Favorite Lyrics:

"I'm New York City
I still do it for you, babe"

16. "It's Nice To Have A Friend"

Favorite Lyrics:

'School bell rings, walk me home

Sidewalk chalk covered in snow
Lost my gloves, you give me one
"Wanna hang out?"
Yeah, sounds like fun
Video games, you pass me a note
Sleeping in tents It's nice to have a friend

17. "ME"

Favorite Lyrics:

"And when we had that fight out in the rain
You ran after me and called my name
I never wanna see you walk away"

18. "Soon You'll Get Better"

Favorite Lyrics:

"I know delusion when I see it in the mirror"


Thanks for another album Taylor!!!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
