Overall: Shuipzv3 As a Swiftie I love both hooks, but as a reviewer ALT1 seems to be far more interesting. However, I think it should be rephrased to make the point clearer, and the hook should indicate Aaron Dessner is a cowriter. Corachow (talk) 16:12, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

@Corachow: What do you think about ALT2 ... that according to co-writer Aaron Dessner, Taylor Swift wrote the song "Cardigan" to his music in around five hours? This Vulture article is the source for the five hours figure. Shuipzv3 (talk) 05:17, 1 August 2020 (UTC)

Shuipzv3 I don't think this works either, please add ALT2 when you propose a new hook. Also, on ALT0, it's "an onsite medical inspector" not "a onsite medical inspector". Corachow (talk) 11:05, 1 August 2020 (UTC)

@Corachow: I see. Here's ALT3 ... that Taylor Swift wrote the lyrics to the song "Cardigan" on co-writer Aaron Dessner's music in around five hours? Shuipzv3 (talk) 13:16, 1 August 2020 (UTC)

Shuipzv3 That's better, though I think the word "wrote" can be replaced with "completed" or "finished". I also added a bold link to the song title. Corachow (talk) 13:25, 1 August 2020 (UTC)

@Corachow: Of course, thank you. I was hesitant to use "completed" or "finished" because I don't know if what she wrote was the final product. As in, if there were any edits after. I considered "adapted" but thought "wrote" is succinct enough. You might have a point though. Shuipzv3 (talk) 13:33, 1 August 2020 (UTC)

Shuipzv3 I see your point, then ALT3 should be fine. I crossed out the hooks that are not approved. I far prefer ALT3, though ALT0 can be an alternative. Corachow (talk) 13:36, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
