When I jump ship, I want Kevin to take my place as King of Taylor Nation.

Was Speak Now not successful enough? Were 4 million copies and like 8 top 40 entries not enough?
Were 2 Grammy awards, Entertainer of the Year, and a $100 million grossing tour not enough?
And what moron keeps pushing Her into the arms of acts She's really too good to be working with? Ed Sheeran? Gary Lightbody? Train?
I don't want a regression to country music. I love Her doing pop influenced things. But Max Martin and Ryan Tedder are like the least of all common denominators.
I get that the Max Martin singles are a tradeoff. We get quality songs on the album, the singles broaden Her market and help keep Her relevant to the public. But She's tipping the balance in a bad way if She's making a full on Max Martin album.
But you go ahead and serve me your worst, Taylor. I'll bop to it anyways.
State of Grace (Tim McGraw is a close second)
Fifteen (Sparks Fly)
Back to December (Treacherous)
Out of the Woods (I knew You Were Trouble)
All Too Well (Dear John)
Mean (You Belong With Me)
Breathe (The Story of Us)
Tell Me Why (We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, it's a terrible song but so catchy)
Enchanted (You're Not Sorry)
Mary's Song (Oh My My) (Better Than Revenge)
Holy Ground (Innocent = This Love)
Haunted (I Know Places)
Clean (Last Kiss)
Long Live (Wonderland)
Starlight (Ours)
Begin Again (New Romantics)
If She releases a remix of Bad Blood, it could potentially perform similar to that of a lead single. You know how ruthless The Nation is when it comes to purchasing power.
She could have honestly included more of Enchanted in the WD mash up.
Like instead of singing the chorus of WD in a lower register, she could have switched it for "please don't be in love with some else/please don't have somebody waiting on you" and crescendos right back into the climax with "say you'll remember meeeeee." If you've watched the vid, y'all know what I'm takin' 'bout.
is that good??'
