P.S.: Vault tracks will be coming in the next week or so. I hope my fellow Swifties out there enjoy this one, and maybe I can convert some people to see the greatness of Taylor Swift with this piece. So, here you have it: I have assigned a Red Sox player or Red Sox-adjacent personality to each and every track from Speak Now (Taylor’s Version). So as I sat on the floor of my room at 12 ET on July 7, ready to listen to her re-recorded version of her 2010 album Speak Now, the Sox’s series-clinching win over the Texas Rangers just hours before sat heavily (and happily) in my mind.Īnd then, as I finished the one-hour-and-44-minute masterpiece, I thought, “There’s gotta be some way I can combine my two true loves into some sort of article for this week’s feature.” Working through this list was a detour from the well-established routines in my life.One thing I love about as much as the Boston Red Sox is Taylor Swift. The first year of list-checking, I finished 14 items, including "visit Los Angeles," "run 10 miles straight," "swim the width of a river," " skydive at least once," "ride a horse fast," "talk with the President," and "surf in the Pacific." I was shouting my father's name from the hilltops. My experiences reminded me of lessons my father had already taught me The first said he'd hoped to live until the year 2020, so I made that my deadline. In an instant, I resolved to finish the remaining 54 items. Though he'd never told us, it was clear he'd been checking it off his whole life. Finding this list, one my dad had written when I was a baby, felt like he was saying hi. I was 25 when my dad was killed by a teenage driver who was on her phone. I didn't have any closure when my dad died My brother had unknowingly had it for 13 years, since our dad's death. While unpacking, he'd discovered what appeared to be our father's bucket list.
