Question for the culture.... (Patreon)

I have been struck down by this insatiable desire and need to do my old trick and rearrange the tracklist of TPD on first listen EVEN THOUGH I said I wasn't going to do that this time because of my headass chronological album theory. Looking at the tracklist it really does look like, based on the titles alone, it goes in order and tells a story (watch me be so so so wrong) but if I really thought that or felt that way WHY on earth would I want to rearrange the tracklist .....
Well..........I only really want to move one song.....................
I just CANNOTTTT fathom the very first thing I hear off of Tortured Poets Department to be a fucking Post Malone feature like I'm sorrryyyyyy I don't even dislike him I just JDFIOGAJROIJEOIAJOGIJER I REALLY DON'T WANT TO START THE ALBUM THAT WAYYYYYY it's kind of BAFFLING to me why she's opening the record with a feature and maybe once I hear it I'll be able to understand it more and it'll make perfect sense!?! But I guess I'm just worried I'm not going to like it or it'll be weird or whatever and start the album off on a bad foor for me....I also sorta just don't wanna hear Post Malone on the first song of a new Taylor record to tell you the truth....I don't wanna hear anybody else I wanna hear TAYLOR........
The temptation really has been haunting me lately. Like I think about it while brushing my teeth, in the shower, on the treadmill, it follows me around, I just cannot believe it's the opening track - and the closer and closer release day gets, the more it plagues and beleaguers me...not the opening track......not that.............
All that said.......there is a bigger part of me that knows just somehow, intrinsically, to not FUCK with the tracklist this time around. Like this is an album that is meant to be enjoyed the way God (Taylor) intended it.....the angel on my shoulder says listen to it the way it's supposed to be listened to! The devil on my shoulder says put Fortnight last LMFAOOO
Now here's my question for the culture....are there any songs off of TTPD that you're sort of DREADING listening to? LMFAOOO of course all food is good food and we cheer for all the new songs...but Fortnight is my sleep paralysis demon.
