I did. Lol. Streamed it a few times. Didn’t just put it on mute and stream for numbers though. I actually listened to the song like five times. I think the whole campaign thing was silly, but I wanted to participate. And “Hey Mama” sounded goddamn great every time.

Yes I actually did. Admittedly only once, but still.
I didn't listen to the Taylor album and I can guarantee that I never will, but from what I can tell it's definitely a miss. The singles are weak and hold no ground compared to "Style" and "Blank Space".
I already saw it coming. She peaked with '1989' which wasn't perfect but the first 6 or perhaps 9 songs were fun, harmless retro pop with obvious Lana Del Rey/Lorde influence (listen to "Wildest Dreams" and then any song off Lana Del Rey's "Born to Die" album, there you have it) and from that point it was clear to me that she had nowhere to evolve. Not the best peak ever, eh.
