Oh, I suppose Taylor Swift specializing in close-touch affect mastery for mimicry or commentary should’ve clued me in a Red cover album would be worthwhile; the last of bonus tracks, about going back in time, makes clear it’s intended as a portal, I had in fact been treating the original 2012 Red as an artifact from the last good time and if we’re all being invited to pick up from there and keep going sure. Ave tayswift regina americanorum.
