It's late-night synthpop with a tad lighter touch and shades of Lana Del Rey's nocturnal haze. Can't wait to hear "Taylor Swift (Taylor's Version)" because these songs deserve better.Ĩ. Her debut rides a roller coaster of teen emotions, peaking on the remarkably well crafted "Teardrops on My Guitar," "Picture to Burn" and the sticky-sweet, sing-songy "Our Song." The sound is twang-lite, her voice girlish and thin. These songs sound so much better in concert, however.ĩ. We get upset with the production by Max Martin and others, heavy on trap trappings, edgy electronica and even hip-hop touches that made Taylor seem like a follower rather than a leader. We get it: She's angry - at ex-boyfriends, record executives and haters of all kinds. Caveat: Our thoughts may change, though, after experiencing these albums in concert.ġ0. With this weekend's Minneapolis-bound Eras Tour promising an album-by-album survey of Swift's career, we rank her records (original versions), worst to best. She's become an unstoppable cultural supernova, selling out stadiums, grabbing three prestigious album of the year Grammys and garnering the attention of Congress and President Biden about rewriting ticketing laws. Since then, we've heard 10 Swift studio albums as well as two "Taylor's versions" reimagining those records. She seized her first opportunity to impress in the Twin Cities. At the time, the single "Tim McGraw" was the only thing the crowd at K102's Class of 2006 showcase at the Myth in Maplewood knew about Swift.

Swift, then 16, did this before her debut album was released.

Kicking off a country-music showcase with an Eminem hip-hop classic, "Lose Yourself," takes a lot of courage and confidence even for a veteran. Not to mention, we’ve also included several MIDI files to help you make your own melodies, and great FX samples to tie everything together as well."Look, if you had one shot," Taylor Swift declared, strumming her acoustic guitar, "or one opportunity." This pack comes filled with all the modern trap drum loops, hi hat loops, 808s, drum one shots, and more that you need for the backbone of your beats.īut it also comes with plenty of country-inspired melody loops that were carefully written and processed to work perfectly in a Hip Hop setting - and we believe this is exactly what makes “Old Town Road” so special.

So inspired by the meteoric rise of this song, our team created “Old Town” - Hip Hop Sample Pack which captures the seamless blend of country music elements and modern trap drums Lil Nas X has perfected. Old Town Road by Lil Nas X is probably the biggest song in the music industry right now.īoth the original, and the remix with Billy Ray Cyrus, have gained hundreds of millions of plays on all platforms in just a few weeks!
