Opinion | Meredith Clark: If 'folklore' is Taylor Swift 'embracing imperfection,' let's all stop trying so hard. - NBCNewsTHINK

It wouldn’t be a Taylor Swift album without a few moments of earnest cheesiness. “My tears ricochet” is a beautiful song with lovely lyrics , but the title is impossible to say without cringing. Does that matter right now, though? Even the luckiest people in America have endured months of pandemic lockdown, economic precariousness and a torrent of ugliness from politicians, police and neighbors, with no end in sight.

Thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, many more artists are going to create in isolation and collaborate remotely, and there is no way to tell what other musicians, writers and filmmakers are going to make during this terrifying moment or how it will enter the world. There is no template for anyone to follow right now, and there is absolutely no certainty that things will get less stressful or scary soon.

Swift ended her post announcing"folklore" with a message that is relevant to creative pursuits, as well as the mundane daily tasks of parenting or being a good citizen. “Before this year I probably would’ve overthought when to release this music at the ‘perfect’ time, but the times we’re living in keep reminding me that nothing is guaranteed,” she wrote. “My gut is telling me that if you make something you love, you should just put it out into the world. That’s the side of uncertainty I can get on board with.” It’s good advice.Meredith Clark is a senior news producer at"Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj," as well as a freelance writer and editor.
