Featured artists
Two tracks — Fortnight and Florida!!! — feature guest artist with Post Malone joining for the former and Florence + the Machine on the latter. Swift has collaborated frequently on her albums, but this will be an exciting collaboration for fans.
We are all going to cry
These track titles are certain to cause us all to melt into a complete puddle. “My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys” is the early frontrunner to rip my heart out, closely followed by “Down Bad” and “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.”
I am, however, very ready to listen to “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived.”
