The Buildup Effect in Taylor Swift's 'The Archer'

It's normal for the production and songwriting dimensions of pop songs to diverge to a certain extent, but the production in Taylor Swift's "The Archer" takes things to the extreme and completely 'contradicts' the structure of the song, creating a unique and ambiguous atmosphere in which repetitions are obscured and take on different roles.

"The Archer" was written and produced by Taylor Swift and Jack Antonoff.
