The goal of {taylor} is to provide easy access to a curated data set of Taylor Swift songs, including lyrics and audio characteristics. Data comes Genius and the Spotify API.
You can install the released version of {taylor} from CRAN with:
install.packages(taylor)To install the development version from GitHub use:
# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("wjakethompson/taylor")There are three main data sets. The first is
taylor_album_songs, which includes lyrics and audio
features from the Spotify API for all songs on Taylor’s official studio
albums. Notably this excludes singles released separately from an album
(e.g., Only the Young, Christmas Tree Farm, etc.), and
non-Taylor-owned albums that have a Taylor-owned alternative (e.g.,
Fearless is excluded in favor of Fearless (Taylor’s
Version)). We stan artists owning their own songs.
