The concern cuts through it all: Swift sings toward someone she hasn’t been able to read, and grasps at ways to help him out of the dark.ĭizzying memories of inadvertent love sparkle on “The Very First Night,” a piece of blissful bubblegum that sounds at home next to Red songs like “22” and “Stay Stay Stay.” As is often the case, the high points come from the lyrical details - Swift remembering casual words that end up meaning the world, and wishing she could go back in time to perfect the scene - but the danceable country-pop stomp is handy for those who simply want to move around to a starry-eyed anthem.Īlthough Ed Sheeran was featured on the Red single “Everything Has Changed,” Swift’s Folklore/ Evermore era didn’t feature an assist from her fellow stadium-playing superstar.
