Logocentric (adj). Regarding words and language as a fundamental expression of an external reality (especially applied as a negative term to traditional Western thought by postmodernist critics). Sometimes I just write whatever I feel like. Other times I respond to prompts, many taken from the following places:  "The Soundtrackers Group"  "Invalid Item" "Blogging Circle of Friends " "Blog City ~ Every Blogger's Paradise" "JAFBG" "Take up Your Cross" Thanks for stopping by!  |
My wife and I were talking the other day about Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. We're pretty big fans of her music and when we heard that she was going to be playing an extensive setlist from across her entire discography, we tried to get tickets... but alas, Ticketmaster ended those plans in a rather unceremonious fashion with the way they bungled the ticket queues. But my wife and I got to thinking, even if we can't attend her tour in person, which songs would we want to hear? We decided to challenge ourselves to put together our own setlist and I'm documenting it here because, well, I don't have anywhere else to post it.  If you want to play along (or get an idea of the methodology), here were the rules:  Select exactly 44 songs (the number of songs on her actual tour setlist) Must choose at least 3 songs from each of her 10 studio albums The other 14 songs can be additional tracks from any album, or tracks from her EPs, album re-releases, etc.With those established, here's what I went with: Taylor Swift (2006) 1. Teardrops on My Guitar 2. Picture to Burn 3. Our Song Fearless (2008) 1. Love Story 2. White Horse 3. You Belong With Me Speak Now (2010) 1. Mine 2. Back to December 3. Mean Red (2012) 1. 22 2. We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together 3. Holy Ground 4. I Knew You Were Trouble 1989 (2014) 1. Blank Space 2. Out of the Woods 3. Bad Blood 4. Clean 5. This Love 6. You Are In Love 7. Shake It Off Reputation (2017) 1. Delicate 2. Getaway Car 3. Dress 4. Endgame Lover (2019) 1. The Archer 2. Cornelia Street 3. You Need to Calm Down 4. Death by a Thousand Cuts 5. I Forgot That You Existed 6. Me! 7. Cruel Summer Folklore (2020) 1. the 1 2. exile 3. mirrorball Evermore (2020) 1. long story short 2. 'tis the damn season 3. ivy Midnights (2022) 1. Anti-Hero 2. Bejeweled 3. Midnight Rain 4. Maroon Additional Tracks 1. Today Was a Fairytale - from Fearless (Taylor's Version) 2. Message in a Bottle - from Red (Taylor's Version) 3. All Too Well (10-minute version) - from Red (Taylor's Version) The hardest albums to whittle down were 1989 and Lover because I genuinely like almost every single track on each of those albums. I could have stood to lose some tracks off Evermore, Folklore, and her self-titled first album in exchange, but it wouldn't be much of a challenge if I could just pick whatever 44 songs I wanted with no restrictions.  |
