folklore by Taylor Swift - a review
If you know me in the slightest, you know that I’m obsessed with Taylor Swift. I stream her music every single day. I can probably think of something relating to her or her lyrics in almost any conversation. And my favorite album of all time, by anyone, is folklore by Taylor Swift. This masterpiece of an album has no skips for me, it was a total genre shift for her and she aced it, and this album allowed Taylor to achieve her third Grammy for Album of the Year, making her the only female artist to achieve that award three different times–not to mention for three different genres. The first was for Fearless in 2008 (country/country-pop). The second was for 1989 (pop/synth-pop). And the third was for folklore (indie/alternative/folk). She is one of the only four artists to win Album of the Year three times–the other three are music legends Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder, and Paul Simon. She’s the only woman to achieve this milestone and she’s currently only thirty-three years old. And folklore is what got her the third win.

Look back on the past
"In books there is a house of gold, and in books there is a face of jade." This saying has been circulating in China for hundreds of years. Since ancient times, people began to read, study hard, love reading. But for today's people, reading and learning has become a kind of hardship. However, I agree with the view that the sea of learning is long and the boat is long. Nowadays, study is a heavy yoke around the neck of today's students. But for me, reading and learning is a kind of fun. People say, "Read ten thousand books, travel ten thousand miles." Reading is a kind of pleasure, is a kind of consumption of time, but let you learn a wide range, edify a good way. Take we just learned "send Dongyang horse Shengxu" this article, the article "I" in so difficult environment still do not give up their pursuit, still do not give up reading, so he likes to learn to read. He regards reading as a kind of valuable learning and considers it a kind of pursuit. In life, I have a friend, she likes learning very much, she thinks that learning not only brings her fun, but also brings her many true friends. Once she shut herself up in her room for a day and a night to read. Came out unexpectedly said a sentence "this problem finally broke out." It was because of her that I realized how much fun reading is! Reading can be divided into many kinds, but when you reach a state of selflessness, that you are successful. In the end, I think I'm right in all that I've said." Books are the ladder of human progress."

Late Review: "Saint Latin's Day Love Massacre"
Everyone loves nostalgia. Okay, maybe not necessarily, but there's no denying that older works are what make the present what it is. What I really mean is that, it is impossible to ignore past works of art when they have such an impact on the present. The butterfly effect is real, people.

They have been building a solid career by releasing singles backed with exceptionally well-done videos, and touring – including headlining the BMI stage at Lollapalooza in 2021. Their new single, “Party” flips the script on the usual party song by telling a tale of infatuation that never comes to fruition. It’s a universal story about wanting someone who doesn’t want you back – a relatable theme that is the backbone of this rising duo’s music.
