JawBreaker Posted January 18 Posted January 18 (edited) 7 hours ago, Holiest Dreams said: There are songs I would go out of my way to listen to less often, but still. It shocks me to see people labelling 1/3 of each album as a skip or something I think it has to do with a lot of them being hybrids. Cuz I only stan Taylor sure I like other artists but idgaf about them like that. So yeah the thought of disliking half an album or the entirety of one is a foreign concept to me. I only do that with my other fave artists that I dont really care about. The only Taylor album I dont really use as often is debut and its not because I dont like it it's just that it's so buried in her discog so I never get around to it lol Edited January 18 by JawBreaker 2

Lemon Posted January 18 Posted January 18 Enough is enough with Gorgeous ( and StayX3 ) slander. It’s that naive, quirky, whimsical, dorkish side of Taylor and the essential core from where the greatest songs of her discography have risen. There is a difference between infantile and immature and in some songs’ cases, it gets even more apparent, especially when people discard something on basis of that. The truth is, with her “infantile” songs is that she still knows how to capture the very essence of the theme she is writing about. There is no Lover without London Boy. There is no Slvt without Gorgeous. There is no Snow on the Beach without I Think He Knows. There is no Mad Woman without Look. etc. Her greatest ability is extracting primordial human state and emotions both throughout more cheeky songs ( which is actually her core talent and pretty great, but some will just opt to minimise it ) and deeper sounding material. She stays true to how people feel no matter the age. Someone in love understands equally good both ME! and Lover. Someone hurt understands equally both Afterglow and Mean. At the end of the day, it shows her range from going from stellar comedy to stellar drama. Time to listen to Slvt. It being one of her best traction driven Vault songs shows me why she had had dilemma choosing between it and Blank Space originally. 2

Ms. Togekiss Posted January 18 Posted January 18 This is asking for a lot I know but does anyone have a comparison between Cruel Summer and Anti-Hero in terms of GOAT Hot 100 points week over week? I wonder if CS is trailing AH during their 25th week in the top 10. I imagine it’s also trailing it in overall weeks (36). I remember AH spent most of its weeks in the top 10 in the bottom half outside of the 8 weeks at #1, while CS has had a more equal run in terms of time spent in both halves of the top 10

The production starting with the second verse, the last chorus I think we all decided that we didn't really want a song where She makes a fool out of herself proclaiming how badly She needs Joe Alwyn The production is cute and the Aretha vocals in the background of the chorus are excellence, but Taylor isn't dredging that narrative up anytime soon
vale9001 Posted January 18 Posted January 18 (edited) 9 hours ago, Holiest Dreams said: Spill She is a diverse songwriter and that’s why she’s so beloved and acclaimed. People will put down her campy, non-serious songs like Karma and say that is a weakness of hers, but it’s actually her strength. Legendary acts of yesteryear like The Beatles or Elton John became legends because of their versatility — they wrote on both ends of the spectrum. Both the campy, unserious, what annoying internet stans of 2024 would deem as “childish”, and then the serious, detailed, nuanced style, for lack of a better description. Also, I’m not even a Lover hater, but it is funny how the three songs I genuinely hate from her are all from that album (IFTYE, ME!, YNTCD) I don’t like Stay x3 either but I get its appeal for some, so I can’t put it in the ~objectively bad~ category. Same, I should’ve redacted the maybe 100% this of course the rockists wouldn't admit the Beatles have a lot of childish lyrics and simple Melody songs, or if they do It they're gonna explain like "It's Genius anyways cause.." () but yeah Elton has the songs they put on these playlists like "piano ballad classics" "songs to Scream in the car" "guilty pleasures" "80s themed party", "Rock classics" "lgbt disco anthem" Taylor has the same large spectrum.

But let me add WANEGBT TV and Style TV to my list cause I forgot we could also erase the Taylor's Versions. 1
Achilles. Posted January 18 Author Posted January 18 Someone submitted “tea” to deuxmoi that Taylor is preparing a surprise Grammy performance of the single for the next TV and that the performance will start with a friend whispering something before launching into an “iconic song.” It reeks of BS but we need it to be true because the obvious answer here is Jack saying “nothing good starts in a getaway car” followed by a performance of that song. 1

I can understand not loving the Christmassy elements of SOTB though I really love them Frankly I think Zayn and Taylor have horrendous chemistry, and I know for a fact that Taylor was whispering in Gigi's ear for years to dump that man Spoiler I actually have grown to love Style TV. Maybe it's a self-induced deluded hallucination, but it's been hitting hard lately 1 1
vale9001 Posted January 18 Posted January 18 (edited) She has released like 220-230 songs at just 33, in just 17 years. Having bad songs is pretty okay. 80% of artists are not rapper release less original songs in all their career. Edited January 18 by vale9001
BloodLuster Posted January 18 Posted January 18 the only songs that I really can't stand are YAIL and Dorothea. 2
