With a total of 31 tracks across both albums, fans have been dissecting the songs and analyzing the lyrics since the surprise drop.
Among the standout tracks from “The Anthology” are “So Long, London,” a sequel of sorts to her 2019 hit “London Boy,” and “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?” a searing indictment of the music industry. Swift also addresses her past relationships in songs like “But Daddy I Love Him,” where she candidly addresses criticism she faced for her brief fling with The 1975 frontman, Matty Healy.
Other notable tracks include “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart,” a catchy tune with crushing lyrics about heartbreak, and “The Black Dog,” a soft ballad detailing a relatable breakup experience. Collaborations with artists like Florence Welch of Florence + the Machine on “Florida!!!” and references to classic stories like Peter Pan in “Peter” add depth and intrigue to the album.
Overall, “The Anthology” showcases Swift’s versatility as an artist, blending emotional vulnerability with catchy melodies and powerful vocals. Fans and critics alike have been praising the album for its depth and honesty, solidifying Swift’s status as one of the most talented and relatable artists in the industry.
