Paired T-tests (Taylor's Version)

Ok, more Taylor Swift data for you.

DID YOU KNOW that Spotify collects buckets and buckets of data about each and every song it provides (see: https://www.spotify-song-stats.com/about)

So, I downloaded this information for 1989 and 1989 (Taylor's Version). So I could test for any differences between the recordings. Like, with data, not with my feelings and emotions. Specifically with a paired t-test.

I get it. The sample sizes are very small. However, the data is still interesting. It makes sense that the tempo hasn't changed. Like, she did slow down or speed up anything. And that is super NS with an itty-bitty effect size. It is also interesting that acousticness has decreased. These are more heavily produced versions of the same songs (IMO), and while this change didn't achieve significance, it is a moderate effect size. 

ANYWAY, you aren't really here for this information. You are here for data to share with your classes, yes? I'm here to help you teach your students as well, so here is a folder with the data.
