"How Did It End" is one of the most underrated and underappreciated songs, may i say ever. Those choruses, the bridge, her vocals (ESPECIALLY live !!).... Surely in my top 50 Taylor Swift songs of all time ( i know its a hot take )

[LukeAlexander]

We got Ally’s Anthology deep dive before Taylor gave us the Anthology on vinyl and cd. Not all heros wear capes!!! 👸 🫶

[madelinene]

“I hate it here so I will go to lunar valleys in my mind; when they found a better planet only the gentle survived” 😭 underrated

[tilia]

"I'm lonely but I'm good, I'm bitter but I swear I'm fine" its just soooo relatable :)

[IslaFisher-gt]

“ You said some things that I can’t unabsorb, you turned me into an idea of sorts” just hits me in a way I can’t fully explain in words💕

[molly_isobel]

From imgonnagetyouback: "Even if its handcuffed i'm leaving here with you" its so delusional and i love it

[mgalv]

You asking people to consider adopting black dogs and black cats is for sure the sweetest thing I'm going to watch today. 🖤🖤🖤 You're amazing, Ally.

“Thought I caught Lightning on a bottle, but oh! It’s gone again” it just represents so much of the anxiety of the feeling

[robynlaura]

“Afterwards she only ate kids' cereal
And couldn't sleep unless it was in her mother's bed” - from the Manuscript. I think this song, and this particular part of the song, is Taylor Swift at her best and probably why I love her music and writing so much. It is simple language that creates such a profound image that can be so relatable and understandable. It is that classic, “show don’t tell”. This line captures the pain that she went through after this relationship by showing the listener how she regressed to childhood comforts to cope with the stress and heartbreak. This line shows how devastated she was, so much more than simply expressing heartbreak. Even if you as the listener haven’t experienced the kind of relationship she has, that feeling of regression and seeking comfort in this way is so universal and relatable.

i’m obsessed with every lyric but most of all in peter « because love is never lost when perspective is earned » because it’s actually such a good outlook on life

[ramamoustafa-bfbe]

i was litearlly saying last night if ally will break down the anthalogy and now our bravet swiftie solider reported back THANK U ALLY

[kaylabellinger]

“Please, let it once be me.”

The chorus of The Prophecy sounds like sobbing - like heaving, pleading sobs while you beg, and that’s why it’s my favourite.

[juliaa_]

My attention span might suck but Ally's 2 hour videos will always get my full attention

[carolinesteele]

"cause love's never lost when perspective is earned" really stuck with me because a lot of times we regret loves that never worked out or crashed and burned, but you still learn something about yourself each misstep you take

[maibe]

“Could it be enough to just float in your orbit?”

Loving someone so much that even being in their vicinity or same universe is enough to hold onto

[Verdant_Vellum]

The rescue dog story isn't silly and you are the sweetest thing for taking the time to tell it. 😊

[senanursaglam]

"But as she was leaving, it felt like breathing"
The whole song is just hits different to me, one of my all time favourites.

[sophielem]

"RIP Hannah Montana you would've hated the Anthology" is so funny 😂

[kaitlinkkk]

“You have no room in your dreams for regrets” really feels like a hug from Taylor 🤍
