An R Shiny web application dedicated to Taylor Swift. Accounts for 225 tracks in 10 original studio albums (Taylor Swift to Midnights) and 2 re-recordings (Fearless TV and Red TV). Consists of 5 panels, each focusing on a different aspect of Swift's discography - see below for a run-down of the panels.
The app can be accessed via runGitHub("erasTaylorSwift", "jasminex21") or through this link.
Insight into audio features (defined and quantified by the Spotify API) of Taylor Swift's albums. Allows users to view valence, energy, and danceability of each album in a joyplot and in tabular format. Each feature is briefly explained in the user interface.
Joyplot displaying the distribution of valence in each album:
Creates a word cloud for each album, displaying the album's 450 most-used words (common stop words removed).
Word cloud produced for Speak Now:
Allows for comparison of lexical diversity amongst Taylor Swift's albums in a plot and in tabular format.
Generates random lyric(s) - can generate one or two lines, or the entire section of a track (e.g. chorus, verse 1, bridge, etc.).
| Single line | Two lines | Entire section |
|---|---|---|

- Remove non-Taylor's versions if their Taylor's version is available! For sure Red and Fearless, probably 1989 as well.
- Add 1989 and SN Taylor's version
- Should be fairly simple to change the word clouds to use the most updated lyrics. Dataset already available as of today. Audio features and lexical diversity may be more manual.
- Once TTPD comes out, update the app as soon as possible to reflect it!
- Plots can honestly be improved - especially the ones that aren't as dynamic / user-friendly
- Link the lyrics generator to the tayLyrics - either implement it into the app or link it to the game app
- Maybe add more pictures (recent ones) to the slideshow in the intro panel
- Background change? Background selection option (would be cool)?
- Font change? Font selection option by era?
- More panels for more in-depth explorations
