Are all her albums like little adventures?

Lords' albums? Yes, yes they all are. They all have very distinct voices and atmospheres imo. Taylor herself described recently how she pictures each of her albums taking place in certain settings, but I can't quite remember what they were.
To me...
Debut = emo sad country Lord in high school
Fearless = pop country Lord trying to escape from her small town
Speak Now = pop country Lord living in a fairytale
Red = cross-genre genius Lord wrecking herself in a New England suburb
1989 = pop Lord finally reaching the "big old city" she's been dreaming about since her debut
She's just perfect
If you're looking for a "little adventure," Fearless and Red in particular have very clear overarching plots to me. Especially Red. The way she sequences Treacherous --> I Knew You Were Trouble --> All Too Well --> 22 is just utterly brilliant
A true roller coaster
