## Overview
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](https://genius.com/artists/Taylor-swift) and the [Spotify API](https://open.spotify.com/artist/06HL4z0CvFAxyc27GXpf02).
## Installation
You can install the released version of taylor from [CRAN](https://cran.r-project.org/) with:
``` r
install.packages("taylor")
```
To install the development version from [GitHub](https://github.com/) use:
``` r
# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("wjakethompson/taylor")
```
## Example
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 support artists owning their work.
```{r album-songs}
taylor_album_songs
```
You can access Taylor's entire discography with `taylor_all_songs`. This includes all of the songs in `taylor_album_songs` plus EPs, individual singles, and the original versions of albums that have been re-released as *Taylor's Version*.
```{r all-songs}
taylor_all_songs
```
Finally, there is a small data set, `taylor_albums`, summarizing Taylor's album release history.
```{r albums}
taylor_albums
```
