{7th Day Of Christmas} Taylor Swift (Taylor's Version) (Hallett's Version)

Hi! Here is my concept for Taylor Swift's final re-recording, her self-titled debut album. I feel that this album will be greatly improved in the re-recordings, and will almost certainly have the most vault tracks, seeing as Taylor Swift wrote and recorded a lot of songs around this time that she never released.

This concept includes the main 14 tracks along with a load of from the vault tracks, mostly leaked unreleased songs Taylor has made, but some being my own fan-made concepts.

There will be no further explanation. There will just be... Taylor Swift.



1. Tim McGraw (Taylor's Version)

2. Picture To Burn (Taylor's Version)

3. Teardrops On My Guitar (Taylor's Version)

4. A Place In This World (Taylor's Version)

5. Cold As You (Taylor's Version)

6. The Outside (Taylor's Version)

7. Tied Together With A Smile (Taylor's Version)

8. Stay Beautiful (Taylor's Version)

9. Should've Said No (Taylor's Version)

10. Mary's Song (Oh My My My) (Taylor's Version)

11. Our Song (Taylor's Version)

12. I'm Only Me When I'm With You (Taylor's Version)

13. Invisible (Taylor's Version)

14. A Perfectly Good Heart (Taylor's Version)

15. Highway Don't Care (with Tim McGraw & Keith Urban) (Taylor's Version)

16. Beautiful Eyes (Taylor's Version)

17. I Heart ? (Taylor's Version)

18. Crazier (Taylor's Version)

19. You'll Always Find Your Way Back Home (with Miley Cyrus) (Taylor's Version) (From the Vault)

20. I'd Lie (Taylor's Version) (From the Vault)

21. Permanent Marker (Taylor's Version) (From the Vault)

22. You (Taylor's Version) (From the Vault)

23. R-E-V-E-N-G-E (Taylor's Version) (From the Vault)

24. Dark Blue Tennessee (Taylor's Version) (From the Vault)

25. Gracie (Taylor's Version) (From the Vault)

26. Smokey Black Nights (Taylor's Version) (From the Vault)

27. Halfway To Texas (Taylor's Version) (From the Vault)

28. Point Of View (Taylor's Version) (From the Vault)

29. Nashville (Taylor's Version) (From the Vault)

30. Lucky You (Taylor's Version) (From the Vault)

Deluxe Edition Bonus Track:

31. Taylor Swift (Taylor's Version) (From the Vault)


Also, I'd like to add that I have a crazy Swiftie theory: I don't know about the debut album, but I think Reputation TV is coming on April 1st, 2025.

The surprise songs set of the final Eras Tour show had five surprise songs: the first from Debut (A Place In This World), the fourth from Reputation (New Year's Day) - the last two re-records. So I decided that 1 and 4 are numbers to keep in mind. At first I thought that meant something was coming on January 4th, but Taylor probably needs a break after the Eras Tour and that wouldn't be nearly enough time to get a whole re-recording out. But April 1st also works with these numbers. Notice that April 1st is April Fools Day - the song she chose for the Eras Tour surprise song was New Year's Day, and the origin of April Fools Day comes from when the calendar was changed, but some people forgot about this change and accidentally celebrated the New Year on April 1st, and were thus named the April Fools. Essentially, April Fools Day is the original New Year's Day... so why not release the new New Year's Day on the original New Year's Day? You may be thinking "Why would Taylor release an album on April Fools Day?" Well, Olivia Rodrigo has done it with Deja Vu and look what happened to that. No, this is not an early April Fools joke. I legitimately think Rep TV is coming on April 1st.

... but anyway that's all for now! Byeeeeeeeeee!

{6th Day Of Christmas} Taylor Swift Holiday Collection (Taylor's Version) (Hallett's Version)

Hi! I know it's not yet confirmed whether or not Taylor Swift is rerecording her seemingly "forgotten" holiday collection, but I made a concept for it anyway. Yes, this includes the covers.

This includes some from the vault tracks as well. None are confirmed songs, but some are covers of holiday classics and some would be original songs by Taylor Swift.

There will be no further explanation. There will just be... the Taylor Swift Holiday Collection.

1. Last Christmas (Taylor's Version)

2. Christmases When You Were Mine (Taylor's Version)

3. Santa Baby (Taylor's Version)

4. Silent Night (Taylor's Version)

5. Christmas Must Be Something More (Taylor's Version)

6. White Christmas (Taylor's Version)

7. Winter Wonderland (Taylor's Version) (From the Vault)

8. Let It Snow (Taylor's Version) (From the Vault)

9. Christmas Love (Taylor's Version) (From the Vault)

10. Next Christmas (Taylor's Version) (From the Vault)

Deluxe Edition Bonus Track:

11. Christmas Tree Farm

{5th Day Of Christmas} This EP made me realize that Christmas must be something more


Hi! In celebration of a day of golden rings and track 5 of my holiday special, I reviewed a Taylor Swift album. You probably are all aware by now, but I've been becoming a huge Swiftie in the past year or so. (Literally half of my special posts in this series are Taylor Swift-related...) Anyway, this is my review of one of my favorite Christmas albums, the Taylor Swift Holiday Collection!


1. Last Christmas

My rating: 4/5 Good

Well, the album doesn't start with one of the best songs, like usual. That's alright. It's still a good song, just less of a standout. I like Last Christmas, but this cover feels somewhat forgettable. Covers are harder to enjoy, especially when they don't do much different from the original. Although this is obviously a completely different style, it still doesn't do much that's unique. I think I like Ariana Grande's cover better than this cover. But don't worry, there are great songs ahead...


2. Christmases When You Were Mine

My rating: 5/5 Great

Yes! I love this song! This has got to be at least one of my top 50 favorite songs of Taylor's entire discography, if not top 30. Unpopular opinion: this is actually Taylor Swift's saddest breakup song. Yep, even sadder than All Too Well, sadder than Dear John, sadder than Last Kiss. Christmases When You Were Mine is the ultimate Taylor song to cry to. The emotion here is so raw. The lyrics are beautifully written, especially considering she wrote it while she was still in her unpolished teenage country era. It covers every stage of their breakup over the holidays: anger, reflection, loneliness, seeing through another person's eyes, overwhelmingness, jealousy, hiding emotions, wondering how an ex-love is doing, and the expected happiness of the holiday season adding to the raw emotion. Unlike some holiday ballads, this actually succeeds in having a balance of Christmas references and atmosphere with the storyline of the breakup. This song parallels another song I love from Taylor, The Moment I Knew. They're both about a similar thing - wishing you could be with who you love over the holidays and feeling lonely. I know this is an EP and not a main album, and that Taylor didn't make this much of a thing yet, but this maybe should've been track 5. But I guess the song that's track 5 on here right now would've maybe been my second choice for it. Overall, if it's the holiday season and you like sad songs, I highly recommend this.


3. Santa Baby

My rating: 5/5 Great

...aaaaaaaaand now we get essentially the polar opposite of that last song. Although Laufey's cover comes close, this is still my favorite cover of Santa Baby. This cover makes me crave more Taylor Swift jazz! I know this song isn't necessarily considered jazz, but it's just about the closest Taylor Swift has come to jazz other than maybe False God or the alternate version of Christmas Tree Farm. The production is super cool and fits Taylor's sound surprisingly well even though it's a style she doesn't come back to much. Also, I know Taylor didn't write the lyrics, but I still like them either way. I think the concept of a crush on Santa fits Taylor well even in her early era. And Taylor sounds great in this - she actually has a voice that would lend itself so well to jazz. I really need a 10 minute version of just that last "TOOOOOONIIIIIGHT", it's fantastic. So yeah, it's an awesome song. I want Taylor to release some more songs that sound like this on her 12th album.


4. Silent Night

My rating: 5/5 Great

A lot of people, including Swifties, seem to hate this cover. I guess I see why it doesn't fit a lot of people's tastes, but I love it. She used the original lyrics of Silent Night but completely changed the melody and country-fied the whole production. And it's beautiful. It starts as an acoustic CWYWM-like country song with just quiet vocals whispered over a sparse guitar line, but evolves in such a nice way, and the ending with the swelling bells and strings is amazing. I'm so glad Taylor included this song, even if I'm the only person in the universe who unironically enjoys it.


5. Christmas Must Be Something More

My rating: 4/5 Good

Okay, we've arrived at track 5 of the EP. I think it would make much more sense to have CWYWM as track 5, but as I said earlier, I know she probably wasn't really thinking about that because of a combination of still being early in her career and this not being a full album. I guess I could see why this could be an intentional track 5 though. It's about... well, I think the title explains it all. Yes, it's that same message that's been done to death in holiday media, but it's done pretty well here. The verses, although repetitive, actually have some pretty clever lyrics. I do think the chorus says "something" way too much though, and it's ultimately not the most interesting thing ever. I still like it a lot better than most people do.


6. White Christmas

My rating: 5/5 Great

Interestingly, this is the second time in a row I've reviewed a Christmas EP that ends with a cover of White Christmas. This cover, while not quite as great as Sabrina's "synth jazz" cover, is still one of the best covers I've heard of this song. I never thought I needed a country version of a holiday classic... and I got four of them. While not the best of the bunch by any means, the way the country instrumentation blends with the festive bells sounds wonderful. Sure, it's nothing too special, just a generic country cover of a Christmas song, but it's still a great way to close out this album.


Conclusion

Overall album rating: 93% (Great Album)

I think this is my favorite Christmas album, which is not surprising considering it's by one of my favorite artists. I highly recommend if you're looking for a Christmas album with a distinct sound.

Favorite songs: Christmases When You Were Mine, Santa Baby

"Least" favorite songs: Last Christmas, Christmas Must Be Something More


That's all for now! Byeeeeeeeeee!

{4th Day Of Christmas} Welcome back for an even shorter, even sweeter album review

Hi! So, Sabrina Carpenter has pleasantly surprised me. When I was first introduced to her in the late 2010s, I wasn't super interested in getting into her music. But ever since Nonsense released in 2022, I've been intrigued by her unique sound and clever, funny lyrical style. Her last album Short N Sweet got a very high score when I reviewed it earlier this year. And while Christmas albums tend to not be as great as main albums, there are some that are very good (many of which I will be reviewing throughout the 12 days of Christmas). Without further ado, here is my review of Sabrina Carpenter's Christmas album, Fruitcake!


1. A Nonsense Christmas

My rating: 5/5 Great

Easily one of my favorite songs of 2022 and 2023 was Nonsense. Well, it wasn't until recently that I heard her Christmas remix. And it's great. The slight production changes are not distracting, and to me elevate the holiday-like nature of this remix in the best way possible. And these lyrics are hilarious. Sure, they're very explicit, but they're some of Sabrina's most clever so I don't care. I would say this remix is just as good as the original while still being completely different, which not many remixes succeed at doing. Overall, this is a somewhat rare occurrence of an album's opening track being one of the best on the album.


2. Buy Me Presents

My rating: 5/5 Great

Yet another great, funny song. This song's lyrics are as Sabrina Carpenter as they come. Basically the whole concept of these lyrics is that she wishes for her boyfriend to "buy her presents", but if he doesn't, she has someone else who can "buy her presents" instead, who is implied to be Santa... I think that's really funny and clever, and the lyrics are super well-written for this concept. And the production is very festive and sounds cool throughout. Another great song!


3. Santa Doesn't Know You Like I Do

My rating: 4/5 Good

*sigh* Sorry, I know everyone seems to love this song, but I'm just not getting it. I still like it, it's just far from a standout track. I like the production, although I kind of wish it had a bit more evolution and it seems a bit generic at times. The lyrics are alright. It's another concept very characteristic of Sabrina. It's basically the complete opposite of Buy Me Presents: she wants to be the one "buying presents" for a boy she likes instead of Santa "buying him presents". It's got some funny moments throughout but overall it just feels like another easily overlookable Sabrina Carpenter song. But it's not bad by any means. Alright, moving on I guess.


4. Cindy Lou Who

My rating: 4/5 Good

Usually, I love Christmas ballads. Taylor Swift's Christmases When You Were Mine is not just my favorite song on Taylor's Christmas album, but also one of my favorite songs of her entire discography. But this one's just not doing it for me. There's one main reason I'm not a fan of this: it's out of place on this album. It's just not Christmas-y enough. You could basically remove Cindy Lou Who's name from it and it would no longer qualify as a Christmas song. The lyrics have an interesting concept: a boy she loved is now dating Cindy Lou Who. But really, it just seems like a generic breakup song that could've fit better on Short N Sweet. And maybe if it was, I would like it better. But anyway, moving on.


5. Is It New Years Yet?

My rating: 4/5 Good

Okay, three less-than-great ratings in a row. That's slightly unexpected, but I don't think it'll bring the score down by much. Really the only reason I included this on my New Year playlist a few days ago was because there are not many songs out there that fit that theme, and this is a popular one that I guess is well-liked to some extent. I'm not a huge fan of it. The production is cool, albeit generic, and it gets old somewhat quickly because it does not change much throughout. The lyrics are kinda funny though. It's about being tired of a stressful holiday season and wanting to cut straight to the next year. Not a concept I see very often. But overall, this isn't bad but it's not exactly a song I'll come back to very often.


6. White Xmas

My rating: 5/5 Great

Wow. This is one of the only times an album has started AND ended on a great song. Sure, this is a cover and all, but it's one of my favorite, if not my #1 favorite cover I've ever heard of White Christmas. Taylor Swift's version is great, but I think I slightly prefer this one. It has a cool sound to it that's like a blend of jazz with an atmospheric synth-pop. The production is a bit slow to get started, but it evolves a good amount throughout. And I just find the original White Christmas to be a very enjoyable song all around so that just adds to it.


Conclusion

Overall album rating: 90% (Great Album)

I guess if you're looking for fun, clever, unique music for the holidays, I would recommend this album. As a whole, while it's not one of the best albums out there, it's unsurprisingly quite great.

Favorite songs: A Nonsense Christmas, Buy Me Presents, White Xmas

"Least" favorite songs: Santa Doesn't Know You Like I Do, Cindy Lou Who, Is It New Years Yet

{3rd Day Of Christmas} Reputation (Taylor's Version) (Hallett's Version)

Hi! 2025 is on its way, and so are Taylor Swift's final two re-recorded albums. Although these are actually my two least favorite Taylor Swift albums, I'm still very excited for the re-recordings, because then Taylor will finally own all of her music! Also, they may may be greatly improved and are sure to have some stellar tracks from the vault! So, I thought I'd share my own concept and predictions for Taylor's re-recorded albums.

The Top 10 Worst Songs Of 2024

*sigh* Since you waited two months for me to come back and post something else, and last year you waited four months for me to release my 2023 year-end posts, I'll just give it to you now.

The music of 2024 was a double-edged sword. This year gave us wonderful artists like Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, and Gracie Abrams, who had previously fallen under the radar of the general public but are now finally becoming huge stars. It also gave us great new music from artists I love, like Billie Eilish and Ariana Grande. And obviously, it gave us a whole world tour from Taylor Swift (happy birthday) and a new double album from her, with 31 tracks. However, there were inevitably still plenty of songs that played on the radio in 2024 at some point or another that just... aren't that good. And these are the top 10 worst of the worst.

The criteria for the list is the same as last year: any song is eligible, as long as it was released in and/or charted in 2024. So, for example, The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived by Taylor Swift could be on here since it was released 2024, even though it didn't chart on Hits 1. But I'm not gonna include some random song from 2021, like, say, All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor's Version) (From the Vault) (Sad Girl Autumn Version) (Recorded At Long Pond Studios). Sorry to all my ATWTMVTVFTVSGAVRALPS stans.

Also, as always, even if you're tired of seeing it at the top of people's rankings because it's just implied at this point... T H I S   I S   M Y   O P I N I O N. So, I hope I don't wake up tomorrow with more hate comments than the number of people in the world complaining about how I "hate rap" or "hate fun" or am "not a respected member of society" or whatever. Okay, now the top 10.


#10: Kesha - Joyride

If there's two genres of lyricism you all know I hate, it's overly sexual lyrics, and lyrics that repeat themselves over and over and over and over and over and over and over. This song is both. "I'm just looking for a JOY! RIDE! JOYRIDE! I'm just looking for a GOOD! TIME! TONIGHT!" Whatever that vocal effect is when she's singing those high notes is really grating for some reason. I guess the production sounds okay, for maybe five seconds. But this song gets annoying very quickly.


#9: Mark Ambor - Belong Together

This song is just very poorly written. I'm trying to imagine Mark writing this in the studio. "You... and... me... belong together. Like... hmmm, what rhymes with together? Ooh! I know! Like cold iced tea and warm weather!" Yeah, no. Also, ehrm, it should be "you and I belong together", not "you and me". He must have had Lady Gaga as his English teacher in school...


#8: Tommy Richman - Million Dollar Baby

He just has to make it really clear that he's rich. I don't like to hate on songs just because the singer doesn't sound very good, but like... this guy can't sing. He doesn't even sound like he's trying to sing. He sounds like he's squealing. And the production is not helping that. It sounds like he bought the cheapest piano keyboard he could find and played random chords over a preset beat called "Funk City 03".


#7: Ariana Grande & Mariah Carey - Yes, And?

*sigh* Unfortunately, a list of the worst songs of the year is almost always going to have at least one song that happens to be written by one of my favorite artists. Ariana has two appearances on my "best songs of the year" list, but this song... this was just not a good comeback for an artist as amazing as Ari. The original Yes, And wouldn't have made this list. It's still bad, but the remix with Mariah Carey that sounds like she's an AI screaming alien noises from another room is way worse. See my Eternal Sunshine album review for a review of the original song.


#6: Camila Cabello & Playboi Carti - I Luv It

Camila Cabello's albums Camila and Romance are two of my favorite albums of all time. C, XOXO, however, is not. Camila Cabello did something with this album that I had always been worried she'd do: drastically changing her sound and aesthetic just to fit with the trends. This is by far the worst song on that album. If you want to see why I think that, once again I'm gonna direct you to when I originally reviewed C, XOXO.


#5: Charli XCX - Von Dutch

I think you all knew Charli would show up at some point on here. She's not terrible by any means. She definitely has talent, and she's released some great music. But the lead single for Brat REALLY should've been Talk Talk and not this. I've already talked about this and the next two songs in my album review for Brat, so you can look at that if you want longer, more in-depth reviews of them.


#4: Charli XCX - 365

Once again, see the album review above if you want a full review. This song is essentially just a worse version of 360.


#3: Charli XCX - B2B

See the album review again for a longer review. This song is one of the most repetitive and annoying songs I've heard this year.


#2: Charli XCX & Billie Eilish - Guess

This song was only on the deluxe edition of Brat so it was not included in my album review, so I'll review it right now. This song's whole concept is just "You wanna guess the color of my underwear?" and doing a bunch of things with underwear. Really weird, really stupid concept for a song. I do not need to hear about your underwear every day on the radio. This is far worse than any of the songs on the standard edition of Brat, so at least I'm glad it's not on the regular album.


#1: Megan Thee Stallion & Yuki Chiba - Mamushi

Okay, time for a rant. Every Megan Thee Stallion song sounds the same. It's got some generic boring beat that never evolves, and the lyrics are just the same words over and over and over. I know some people like that kind of stuff, but if we're judging music as a pure art, Megan Thee Stallion's insanely repetitive music just doesn't work. "I get money I'm a stahhhhh stahhhhh stahhhhh stahhhhh stahhhhh stahhhhh stahhhhh". Why do people like these kinds of songs? I will never understand how Megan is so popular. And it's not like Yuki Chiba is much better. He's trying to rap, but he sounds monotonous and off-beat. The lyrics in his verse aren't great either - the sudden "nice to meet you" and "I'm so happy" thrown in the middle of the Japanese lyrics (which I have translated before, and are not that good) just sound so random and awkwardly placed. Unlike some of the other bloggers, the language the lyrics are in wouldn't really affect my opinion on the song itself, but I just would've preferred if those last few lines were entirely cut out. But even then, it wouldn't be a much better song, because literally nothing about this works. As you may remember, my least favorite song of 2023 was Labrinth & Billie Eilish's Never Felt So Alone. But Mamushi is MILES worse than that song. Never Felt So Alone at least has some redeeming qualities - the production changes in a few sections, and the pre-chorus melody is alright I suppose. I would go so far as to say Never Felt So Alone grew on me a decent bit. For Mamushi, I tried to think deeply and find a single redeemable quality about it, and all I could come up with is that... I mean, I guess Megan doesn't sound terrible, and she's mostly rapping on the beat? But her flow still falls flat, so that's far from a saving quality of the song. So, Megan Thee Stallion does not deserve 1% of the recognition she gets as a musician. Mamushi isn't even my least favorite Megan song. I still think Wap, Body, and maybe even Savage are worse than this. But this is quite close. I tried to think of any "good" songs she had, and I thought of three, but all three of them are just songs where she's featured with another artist so they hardly count as proper Megan songs: Not My Fault with Renee Rapp, Beautiful Mistakes with Maroon 5, and the 34+35 remix with Ariana Grande and Doja Cat. And even on those, Megan's verses are my least favorite parts of all of those songs. Her verse in Beautiful Mistakes is probably the closest thing she has to a good part on a song, maybe because she actually sings a bit, and some of the lyrics are kinda clever, but even then it's still pretty meh. But Megan has a lot of songs, so three semi-decent features she has on other songs isn't gonna affect my opinion: Megan just doesn't deserve to be a popular singer, and Mamushi is a glaring example of her lack of interesting and enjoyable music.


Whew... okay. That was something. I'm glad to be back.
