Why are y’all booing him. He’s right. I didn’t even see the album covers till he mentioned them.

This data visualization is about the colors mentioned in the lyrics. I think it makes sense that the album covers are grayed out so as not to distract from the “data”

This is actually really cool, in terms of just literary analysis. If you're the first person to put up a visualization on colors in songs/albums like this then definite ultramega kudos -- and I think albums might be even better than songs for comparing across artists and careers.

To critique the visualization itself, I feel like there is a better way to show the evolution of a set over time that doesn't feel like they're all kind of in their own little corner, independent, on a white background (which makes the grey hard to see btw). If the emphasis is indeed on evolution, or perhaps a fan might, knowing Swift's bio, coordinate the use of colors to her perceived emotional state, then placing the colors vertically and connecting them smoothly along a horizontal time axis like a rainbow of thickening and thinning bands might work. Just a thought -- I'm sure you or others will have better ideas.

And good job of course for including the citation information on the image itself. (I'd recommend including a year or date or backlink, though, which helps people find your original post if they want.)

i think my favourite discovery may have been the FOURTH pen type - the permanent marker revenge song 😆

Close! Light pink, indigo, ultraviolet, maroon, burgundy and lavender.

It's odd you should say this. I'm 'bit of a Swiftie myself, and "Midnights" just doesn't do it for me. No shade, just interesting how people can listen to the same thing and hear something completely different.
