we never go out of style

consider my hopes raised

i'll hold my hands up and tell you, straight faced, that taylor swift is a guilty pleasure of mine. not so much a guilty pleasure, more a genuine pleasure. she's not one of my ultimate favourites but BUGGER ME that tall cat knows how to write a good pop song. now that she's finally rid herself of the country twang which so obviously held her back, and seeing as she's been a right old knob to spotify, i've just shelled out real life money on her album and i'm going to liveblog my review of it; you're welcome xo

it's like i've got this music in my mind saying "it's gunna be alright"

WELCOME BACK PETAL

a good comeback single is crucial. "we are never ever ever getting back together" remains iconic. hard to top, we've been waiting for ms. swift to return with another absolute stormer of a song. and after tonight's yahoo stream, it looks like she's firmly back in the game.
