Spoiler rlly amazingly shot, she sounded great the whole time, none of the moments that potentially could be memed as cringe/bad (like the ready for it hunched dancing or the bejeweled dancer showcase) looked bad. the setlist exclusions are strange but i assume they'll be part of the home release so its nbd. my experience was a little hampered by the friend i went with not being familiar w taylor + not rlly being into it, and "marjorie" kinda making me disassociate and feel emotional for the rest of the evermore set (irl stuff ), but otherwise it was great. also be sure to stick for the entire credits!! imo the highlights, for varying reasons, were: cruel summer you belong with me willow don't blame me/look what you made me do all too well shake it off/bad blood our song vigilante **** and karma i didnt realize but like, some of the songs that get dragged for being cringe ended up being among the highlights of this tour, im lowkey thinking she might've done smth for ME! that would've ate if it was on the setlist!! 35 minutes ago, Holiest Dreams said: Ngl I can think of a few Is it the Tolerate It guy or the Lavender Haze guy? 14 minutes ago, LiamVillain said: jan ravnik?

NEX Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 Just saw the tour film in Vegas this evening. As an ORH I hate to admit that Reputation section was the best 1
By the Water Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 Lover, Daylight and Afterglow are literally top 4 on Lover

Exhausting. The trick is to skip the bad songs, that's why Lover is so successful on streaming because it's easy to press skip

Not "I bury hatchets but I keep maps of where I put 'em" and "Please don’t ever become a stranger whose laugh I could recognize anywhere" making you lose hope, but "You're my, my, my, Lover" restoring your faith 5
Klein Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 (edited) I was not a Swiftie at the time but how come anyone's faith in Taylor's lyricism could have been restored before folklore? Like 1989, Rep and Lover are genuinely her worst albums lyrics-wise. They make up for it with catchy melodies, good production, narratives and visuals, but as far as lyricism goes, they're bottom of her discography. Edited October 13, 2023 by Klein

Bosque Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 I remember when 1989 came out, Blank Space was very praised for its meta lyrics. That probably affected public perception of her songwriting skills a lot more than the quality of the album tracks. You have to consider that a successful single like Blank Space is probably heard by like 20-30x as many people as any album tracks.
By the Water Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 Are we still pretending that Corona Summer isn’t mid to bottom tier on Taylor’s discography just because it’s smashing? 1 hour ago, Tusk said: Archer and Soon You’ll Get Better are the top ballads. I feel like this speaks for itself 2
By the Water Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 There was plenty of discourse about Taylor losing her touch when it comes to lyrics. I mean, the first songs we heard from 1989 were SIO, OOTW and WTNY. 1989 was a huge downgrade from SN/Red and puta/Loser, though better than 1989, still weren’t quite on par with her country material 1
