Why Taylor Swift's Cozy 'Cardigan' Is The Best Song On 'Folklore'

In a surprise that still has me reeling in the best way, Taylor Swift released her latest album, ‘Folklore,’ still hot on the heels of her dreamy delight, ‘Lover.’ Thus, breaking the two-year wait that has usually preceded the release of an album, and gifting fans with “Cardigan.”

Lets Talk About...Mumford & Sons and Their New Sound

Three years ago Mumford & Sons swept the world into a banjo-fueled frenzy with their sensational album "Babel", the Grammy award-winning follow-up to their debut record "Sigh No More".

TV Report Card | 'Game of Thrones' Season 4 Review

Overview: An adaptation of the second half of George R.R.

All of this as the battle at The Wall came to a head.

Storyline Pros: Everything involving Tyrion was phenomenal. His trial diatribe against his accusers and detractors was sheer brilliance. He is a fascinating character and when he is not on-screen, the series doesn’t boast the same intrinsic glow that it does when he is on. It’s like watching color drain from a painting. His relationship with Tywin remains one of the most fascinating father/son dynamics that television has recently explored.
