“The Archer” by Taylor Swift
March 7, 2022
Junior Becca Carper is listening to “The Archer” by Taylor Swift. This song was included in the album “Lover” released in 2019, Swift’s seventh album.
“I have listened to her for my whole life and the album ‘Lover’ resonates with me the most,” Carper said.
“The Archer” gives listeners insight into Swift’s difficulty with trusting others. The slow paced synths and quiet vocals show her vulnerability and the hard part of relationships. This is one of the few songs on the album “Lover” that is slow paced and calm.
“She has always been a huge role model for me,” Carper said. “I’ve felt like I’ve grown up with her.”
Taylor Swift’s debut album, “Taylor Swift,” was released in 2006, and her music career skyrocketed from there. Since then, Swift has won 11 Grammys and has won the most American Music Awards in history. She could easily be considered one of the most successful women in the music industry today.
If you are in the mood to listen to something while doing homework, jamming in the car, or hanging out with friends, “The Archer” is the song you are looking for.
