Sourcing

I might throw snakes and stones on the article, but they are all in good ~~fun~~ faith. Also, shade never made ~~anybody~~ any article less gay, so

Hi, see my responses below. Let's take this revision for the source review. Ippantekina (talk) 12:55, 31 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

~~FN 1: The article claims that Folklore incorporated [...] alternative rock. The citation does not mention anything about alternative rock.~~

~~FN 2: Decider is under The New York Post, an unreliable source per WP:RSP.~~

~~FN 3: Dessner says that he wrote the instrumental for 'Tis the Damn Season a long time ago, not several years prior~~

~~FN 4: No mention of the release date of Evermore, no hopes of getting this to GA status.~~

Added. This was easy. Ippantekina (talk) 12:55, 31 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

~~FN 8: Shows that the song is part of the tracklist of The Eras Tour, but no mention of the Evermore set.~~

FN 9: Can't access it for now (and yes, I did not forget that tf12.io existed)

FN 15: ~~Does not mention anything about a nostalgic feel~~ Nevermind, it is a podcast. I will listen to it later.

~~FN 19: Does not mention anything about the former lover from her high-school days. Likewise, FN 12 also does not mention the lover as well.~~

The "high-school" lover is supported by Spanos; I split the refs for that matter. [12] (Sheffield): "comes back for the holidays, staying with her parents, and falls right back into the arms of the boy she left behind" Ippantekina (talk) 12:55, 31 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

~~FN 14, 16 and 18: All three does not mention anything about the quotation given in the article.~~

Added the Vulture source. Ippantekina (talk) 12:55, 31 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

~~FN 22: Does not say that the song is more uplifting.~~

[22] (Lipshutz): "offering hope and levity in the midst of the wreckage."

~~FN 13, 26, 27, 28 and 29: Does not mention anything about emotional engagement. Additionally, only FNs 28 and 29 call it an album highlight~~. There will be explanation, because this is a good article review.

[13] Johnston selected "Tis the Damn Season" as one of the standout songs ("Swift's lyric-writing abilities feel leveled-up on Evermore, its characters drawn in pointillistic detail")

[26] Zaleski similarly picked "Tis the Damn Season" as one of the album tracks that are "so full of wrenching, relatable detail that they resonate as deeply as any confessional." → also cue "emotional engagement"

[27] Keefe picked this track after mentioning that "Evermore also boasts some of her best work", and highlighted this song's "undercutting ... bitterness of a years-past hurt with a pragmatism that dispenses with niceties and nostalgia"

I grouped all these reviews together (cue WP:RECEPTION) as they all found Swift's songwriting to evoke an emotional engagement. I don't prefer quoting each and every source but I understand why some vocabulary are not immediately found in the sources. The Hyden review though seems out of place, so I split it.
