Did chud ever prove she writes any of her own material?

She's been pretty open about her songwriting in various written, audio and video interviews.

Here let me set everything else aside so I can go and catch up on all of that

[Norah]

I didn't realize it was incumbent on me to prove her artistic authenticity.

Well, to be fair to Bammer, he has twins and it takes 5 seconds to search on google so ...

[LetMeSleep]

Bammer has twins?

How Swifty has so many 30-50 year old men on a Pearl Jam message board duped to this extent is 2020 as fuck.

she released two great albums and two documentaries, i would say its pretty normal that we love her.

[Kevin Davis]

So, I kind of put these albums aside when they came out but I have been listening to them both a lot this whole week. Evermore is good but Folklore (sorry, the all-lowercase formatting just feels weird to me) is really blowing me away. An amazingly well-crafted, insular record, remarkably consistent over the course of 17 tracks without ever wearing out its welcome, and full of clever little melodic surprises that I don't realize I'm waiting for until they happen. Evermore has fewer moments like this, and feels like a more impulsive, less meticlously shaped record overall, but the best of it definitely hits those same sweet spots. These proceed directly to the top of the rankings for me.

[VinylGuy]

yeah, both of them are awesome.

yeah this is pretty spot on

[Kevin Davis]

On Evermore my favorites are "Willow" and "Tolerate It," and then probably "Dorothea" and "Marjorie." Folklore is basically one long highlight for me but "Invisible String," "Hoax," "Seven," and "Cardigan" stand out as favorites among favorites.

[Kevin Davis]

"No Body No Crime" reminds me both musically and lyrically of that Carrie Underwood song where she beats her ex-boyfriend's truck up with a baseball bat.

[washing machine]

Invisible String is so very good. Epiphany and Hoax, doubly so.

Marjorie is a favorite from Evermore as well as 'Tis the Damn Season.

However, before Marjorie really solidified in my head, I remember hearing the "You're alive, you're alive" part around the house while doing chores and conflating it with some Eliza Schuyler motifs in Hamilton and having a pretty disorienting moment (both T Swift albums and Hamilton are always on heavy rotation in our house.)

[Kevin Davis]

My copy of Folklore has this cover, and every time I look at it it reminds me of the "those we don't speak of" scene from the M. Night Shyamalan's The Village:

Bonus tracks are out. Don’t care for the first one. Like the second one.

[Norah]

And then probably tolerate it. Either way my two least favorite are cowboy like me and long story short.

Cowboy Like Me is the second best song on the record you idiot

Ok it's growing on me.
