Here’s something that has been bugging me a bit recently‚ the idea that Taylor Swift is anti-feminist or that her songs present femininity in a negative light and she’s doing more harm than good.

Death at an Early Age: The Review Brandon Kennedy I am reviewing Jonathan Kozol’s auto-biography‚ Death at an Early Age.

I watched Taylor Swift acoustic performances from the RED album. The first song presented in the performance was “We are never ever getting back together”. This popular song features a variety of musical techniques. During the song Taylor Swift begins playing the song at a consistent speed.

The faster tempo makes the song feel climatic‚ I feel that she is able to highlight certain lyrics or parts
