Results

Mostly A’s: Bandwagon Swiftie

You’re a new Taylor fan that got into her music recently. Old fans have some beef with you for not sticking with Tayor through her “Reputation” era, but at least you hopped on the Taylor train eventually and can appreciate good music. Glad this finally happened for you.

Mostly B’s: Fake Fan

You listened to the album to be in the know but don’t actually get what the big deal is. It sounds like every other pop album. You probably didn’t make it all the way through and only really listened to relate to everyone around you.

Mostly C’s: OG Swiftie

You’re an old fan that grew up listening to Taylor. The new album has you in your feels, especially since you’ve been waiting for this album to come out for ages. The perfect fall weekend coinciding with the album dropping was written in the stars and you can’t get enough of your “Red”-era Taylor.

Mostly D’s: Emotionally Invested Swiftie

You listened to the album 10+ times already. “All Too Well” has destroyed you in ways you didn’t know it could. Emotional stability is an unattainable privilege at this point but at least the album is free therapy.
