Today I’m reacting to “Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve” by Taylor Swift from Midnights (3am Edition), focusing on its hypnotic verse structure, mosaic rhymes, restrained pre-chorus hook, and the subtle use of prosody and anti-prosody. We break down how limited melodic material, delayed hooks, and lyrical tension turn this song into one of her most emotionally powerful writes.
