Let's analyze every album by the songstress herself Taylor Swift. In these videos my goal is to analyze how these albums individually tell stories, what the central theme of each album is, and what that means for the overall trajectory of Taylor Swift's discography. The key method to do this is by likening the structure of her albums to typical dramatic plot structure, which allows us to view the albums as stories and interpret them based on how songs are ordered and chosen.
I hope you enjoy, let me know what you think! Part 2 will be out soon (hopefully), and we'll kick off with 1989 and continue to make our way through the albums.
