Hey I'm Brian Hyatt and this is Rolling Stone Music Now. We were going to talk about the best albums of 2020 this week. But then, like a whole new album came out.

Another surprise album.

And it's by our friend Taylor Swift.

It's called Evermore.

And I have with me by popular demand Brittany Spanos and Rob Sheffield to do another

Taylor Swift episode for 2020. We thought we had done our last Taylor Swift episode for 2020, but we thought we were out, but she pulled us back in.

And it's another great album. What can I say?

I was going to make a joke about how I'm really shocked.

I was really surprised because Bernie and Rob hate this album and I just could, I never would have expected that.

They loathe it, they're not Tower Swift fans anymore, but you know that's okay.

People's taste change.

But I won't make that joke.

It's certainly, obviously, a sister album to Folklore.

It's very much the amnesiac to its kid-a.

Place the two albums against each other. Compare and

contrast if you will. Brittany why don't you start? I love the way that she

kind of described these as very seasonal albums because I think for Taylor like I've always sort of

related her a lot of her songs and her music to

Seasons like I feel like she make songs that feel very like

I don't know this sounds like in like summer or like fall whatever but the ways that she

described folklore kind of being a spring summer album and this being the fall winter

compliment to it feels so accurate because there is such like a wintery coldness
