Laufey and Clairo discuss their preferences between Taylor Swift's less-favored albums, wading into the heated Folklore versus Evermore comparison
In a recent episode of Hot Ones, Clairo and Laufey, both known for their love of Taylor Swift's music, engaged in a lively discussion about the singer's albums.
The conversation began with Clairo expressing some uncertainty about her ranking of Taylor Swift's albums, potentially placing "1989" second. Laufey, a self-proclaimed "massive Swiftie," had ranked Taylor Swift's albums from best to worst as: "Fearless," "Red," "1989," and "Lover." Clairo agreed mostly, saying she would rank them the same or put "1989" second.
Interestingly, this ranking mirrors the order of release for those four albums, which are: "Fearless" (2008), "Red" (2012), "1989" (2014), then "Lover" (2019). However, it's worth noting that Clairo's personal favourite Taylor Swift song is "False God" from "Lover," a lesser-known cut that features jazzy neo-soul elements and a saxophone.
Both artists also expressed strong appreciation for "Folklore" and "Evermore," two later surprise albums by Swift, with Clairo suggesting "Evermore" might be the better of the two pandemic-era records. Laufey agreed, but mentioned she might be biased towards the less popular one.
Meanwhile, Laufey is preparing for the release of her new album "A Matter Of Time" on 22 August. A fourth single from her upcoming album, "Snow White," was recently released on 7 August.
Clairo has been performing on the festival circuit this summer and is scheduled to perform at All Things Go in September. With their shared love for Taylor Swift's music and their engaging discussions, it's clear that both artists are making a mark in the music industry.
