Taylor Swift: More Era magic

TAYLOR Swift (Facebook)

(Facebook)

That’s a quote from The Godfather: Part III. Which, weirdly enough, popped into my head as I watched the first two episodes of Taylor Swift’s “The End of an Era” series released just this past week.Maybe because I only recently reviewed “The Life of a Showgirl,” which I enjoyed. And I am just fresh diving into, for the first time, mind you, The Smashing Pumpkins and Elliot Smith and their absolute classics of an album, “Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness” and “New Moon” respectively.

And now I’m grooving to Taylor Swift again.

It’s hard not to be when you have something like “The End of an Era,” which I would describe in one word: compelling. “The Eras Tour” by Taylor Swift is just the gift that keeps on giving.
