All Too Well alone sh*ts on every Speak Now track lyrically, IMHO. Speak Now was a good effort but it feel a bit same-y, and she really benefits from co-writers. Completely agree. "You call me up again just to break me like a promise so casually cruel in the name of being honest"" >>>> Anything on Speak Now

Wish the finished version sounded more like that! Guitar and piano!

I like the original lyrics better tbh.
"i got a boyfriend, he's older than us/i haven't seen him in a couple months" “I go through phases when it comes to love/I’m nothing that you want” "My reputation precedes both of us"

Add me to the group of people who believe the original lyrics are much nicer.

The fact that she scrapped the 'reputation' line basically confirms that there will be a title track.

Ugh. This song would work so much better if they kept that guitar and piano sound. Screw the basic instrumental they went with. Especially the chorus, it would sound so much better if it was hard hitting like Blank Space. Ugh.

"You call me up again just to break me like a promise so casually cruel in the name of being honest"" >> Anything on Speak Now "All Too Well" is her best lyrical effort, but "Enchanted" has an impeccable, vivid description of love/infatuation at first sight. It's almost unbelievable from someone her age at the time. Walls of insincerity, Shifting eyes and vacancy Vanished when I saw your face

If they kept the song in it's original form and had it stripped down guitar/piano vibe, it'd be a REALLLLY refreshing track reminiscent of something you'd find on her earlier albums Lyrically it was also better

Am I suspicious for thinking that she uploaded the video because she's in panic mode of her recent 'underperformance' and based on the reactions she'll decide whether to make changes on the album's production or not? Maybe that's why she announced Reputation 3 whole months in advance. She was definitely worried about the reception the 'new Taylor' would get so she wanted to make sure she had enough time to make some changes so as she avoids complete floppage for her standards. She's a marketing genius so nothing she decides to show us strikes me as unintentional and innocent.

I have no idea. This album is so top secret that we can't even speculate over what we don't know.

That "making of" video made me think the original "Gorgeous" was more guitar-oriented. Maybe that's the version the fans heard and why they loved it so much.

The album has to be pressed by now right? I don't know if you can make last second changes this close to go time. I honestly would have liked any lyrics that she had. I do like the line he's in the club doing I don't know what though. Granted I don't know the album sounds like, but I think it'd be cool to have a stripped down version of the CD. Moreover, I would love to see her thought process just like we did with her sound clips from the last album.

I think that she posts all of these videos to bring more fans to "Taylor Swift Now". I mean, fans love stuff like that(me included) and if she has a deal with AT&T, they'll both benefit from it.
Plus, she's probably going to announce a new song in 10 hours from now, so that'll be the last promo thingy she does before the album release.

I'm sorry, I'm not delusional but "I got a boyfriend, he's older than us, he's in the club doing I don't know what." is the best line of 2017, if you don't agree you're crazy

I can see some stations wanting a bland Taylor love ballad so I can see why this is lingering. I hope she has a better bland love ballad to release as a single at some point though.
