NaBloPoMo Day Five: Deep Dives And Reactions: Cruel Summer by Taylor Swift.

 Okay, I know what you're thinking: "SHE CALLS HERSELF A SWIFTIE AND HAS NEVER HEARD CRUEL SUMMER!?" But I am, and I have. Today I'm talking about the two alternate versions Taylor released last fall.

   Cruel Summer (LP Giobbi Remix):


Oh man, well this is different! Sped-up, which is weird. May be one that sounds better on different speeds, there was an Anti-Hero remix like that. I was definitely worried when this one dropped that Cruel Summer was about to get Willowed. (Okay, maybe not "worried" but ya know what I mean)... I feel like with the sparser production you can really hear the backing vocals, an element I've always really liked. 7.5/10.

   Cruel Summer (Live From TS | The Eras Tour).

Well this took me back. I attended the Eras Tour Movie in theaters on October 29th, 2023 (as you may remember from this post) and this was definitely a highlight (not quite august into illicit affairs into my tears ricochet but still a highlight). I love that they left the "oh hi" and her whole monologue about knowing the bridge. (Which I mean, who doesn't know the bridge to Cruel Summer)? 10/10.

   Now for one moment, I wish to speak about the cover arts of these songs. The first one, at least on YouTube, looks like it's actually from Lover Era and the second is similar to that scene in the Blank Space video.

   This instills hope in me that we'll get an Eras Tour album. Oh bye!

Blogmas 2023: Day Twenty Two: A Procrastinator's Guide To Being Productive.

  Blogmas Day Twenty Two: We're officially into the Winter season and the days are getting longer!    Anyway, today I had a fairly successful writing session that lasted around an hour and a half and produced about 1,344 words, bringing my proposed yearly word count (as mentioned last night in this post ) of 961,975 up to 166,139!    I find when I'm not obsessing over my word count, I write more and when I can truly focus, I get more done.    If any of you are wondering what I was writing, I was working on a Fanfiction story I'm publishing on my Quotev account . The chapter I was writing probably won't be published for a while (maybe next year, who knows)? Because it's nowhere near done.    Anywho, that's my little rant for today! See y'all tomorrow! 😎

NaBloPoMo Day Three: Deep Dives And Reactions: Cowboy Back by Gabby Barrett.

NaBloPoMo Day Three: So this is a song I've been more or less obsessed since 2022 or so when she posted a little clip of the intro. (The Intro, I love the intro too much, y'all)!    Anyway, that obsession was further fueled when she played it at Stagecoach last April. I vividly remember playing a fan video about forty times.    This is, however, the first time I've heard the studio version and as a Country Girl who has a genuine respect for Cowboys, I approve.    It reminds me so much of characters I've either made up or write with for fanfics that exist in the source material.    Anywho, 10/10. Lyric Video: This is nice! I was hoping it'd actually get a music video (I wanted a Jesus And My Mama Music Video too... Oh well)... This is really nice, almost like a Visualizer! 10/10.
