Dear Reader Posted February 26 Posted February 26 3 minutes ago, Holiest Dreams said: They both do extremely different things and aren’t even in the same genre, so the pitting against each other has never made any sense. Even with Beyoncé stepping into Country music, I don’t think it’s comparable to Taylor’s country music style either, so it’s just like…? I really wanna know where it’s coming from aside from them being two of the only female musical artists people care about these days People can’t fathom that different artists have different skill sets and strengths. Beyoncé is regularly attacked for not being a songwriter/instrumentalist or whatever, but I don’t see it taking away from what she does or her music. Likewise, Taylor isn’t a dancer or a strong vocalist but it doesn’t take away from what she does. Beyoncé was clearly able to convey a lot of emotions through Lemonade, for example, and touch many people with it, those accusations notwithstanding. Just like how myself and (obviously) many others absolutely love Taylor’s vocals and singing style, vocalist or not. I always love your posts. It’s really just as simple as that. Two artists can co-exist and be very successful in their own field without us having the need to compare them. And honestly, resorting to racism (sexism, homophobia, etc) in any discussion is the lowest of the low. 2

Oh thank you, the same back to you tenfold I kinda wish it wouldn’t even come up as a topic in the base, because it’s just exhausting and never brings any kind of worthwhile discussion sadly. On both sides of the debate between them, people get really weird and it boils down to people just hurdling insults. I know there are mediums where people go to troll and let out their grievances (ie Twitter, and I do as well to some extent), but I’ve always viewed forums as being a step above sites like that in terms of discourse. Anyway, hopefully the base and fan-related threads (like the TTPD thread) can stay mess free for a while after this since we have like two threads to actually come together as a fanbase and discuss her without such unhinged posts k I’m rambling now so lemme take my exit 2
YR. Posted February 26 Posted February 26 Happy to report that the mods will be banning the racist users soon. I hope this thread can become readable again soon. 2
Achilles. Posted February 26 Author Posted February 26 Had no idea yall were misbehaving in my thread. As the founder and self-appointed benevolent dictator of the Taylor Swift base, I am pleased to declare that we love Beyoncé here. She is my second most played artist of the year so far (and Taylor Swift is not #1). 6
By the Water Posted February 26 Posted February 26 Taylor's level of stardom is bound to bring a lot of negative attention towards her. At one point you should be able to deal with all the delusional takes you see online coming from people who are very clearly bothered about them not "getting" Taylor 5

1989 Posted February 27 Posted February 27 Wtf happened here today? Lemme go back to the TTPD thread I- 2
IBeMe Posted February 27 Posted February 27 When I think back on the release week for Midnights it really did feel like such a magical era. Something about it felt literally so hazy and magical and mysterious etc..the whole sleepless nights thingy, the vague-ish lyrics, the super cute visuals and mvs (I REALLY loved the mvs that era except for some critics here and there)....all of it just felt so well executed and warm and magical and like a dreamy era. I feel like Midnights is oddly underrated despite being her 2nd most successful album lol 4
Peak Now Posted February 27 Posted February 27 11 hours ago, Relampago. said: Everyone needs to get their head out of their ass and realize stanning is not serious and there needs to be actual focus on where these celebrities are failing and how they are impacting things for the worse. Whether that be Taylor’s climate change related issues, Rihanna’s fast fashion violating labor laws, Beyonce purchasing another multi-million dollar home in a city with the highest unhoused population in the country, Gaga remaining silent on LGBTQ issues, etc. 11 hours ago, Relampago. said: Having production conversation while using Taylor as the central topic that everyone can understand and relate to is just one way of having discussions for the greater good of things. See, all due respect but on this site you really can't have a meaningful productive conversation on these issues, cuz way too often the people who start those threads aren't ever coming from a place of good faith or just objective neutrality-- if an OGH started a thread called "Gaga silent on LGBTQ right violations in [insert country]. Why?" there's a high chance they're flamebaiting rather than looking for a serious discussion on rainbow capitalism or something. And like 90% of the site stans/are fans of multi-millionaire celebrities so it would all come off a bit hypocritical. 2

idkwiam Posted February 28 Posted February 28 Spoiler My knuckles were bruised like violets Sucker punching walls, cursed you as I sleep-talked Spineless in my tomb of silence Tore your banners down, took the battle underground And maybe it was ego swinging Maybe it was her Flashes of the battle come back to me in a blur All that bloodshed, crimson clover Uh-huh, sweet dream was over My hand was the one you reached for All throughout the Great War Always remember Uh-huh, tears on the letter I vowed not to cry anymore If we survived the Great War You drew up some good faith treaties I drew curtains closed, drank my poison all alone You said I have to trust more freely But diesel is desire, you were playin' with fire And maybe it's the past that's talkin' Screamin' from the crypt Tellin' me to punish you for things you never did So I justified it All that bloodshed, crimson clover Uh-huh, the bombs were close and My hand was the one you reached for All throughout the Great War Always remember Uh-huh, the burning embers I vowed not to fight anymore If we survived the Great War Uh-huh Uh-huh It turned into something bigger Somewhere in the haze, got a sense I'd been betrayed Your finger on my hair pin triggers Soldier down on that icy ground Looked up at me with honor and truth Broken and blue, so I called off the troops That was the night I nearly lost you I really thought I lost you We can plant a memory garden Say a solemn prayer, place a poppy in my hair There's no morning glory, it was war, it wasn't fair And we will never go back To that bloodshed, crimson clover Uh-huh, the worst was over My hand was the one you reached for All throughout the Great War Always remember Uh-huh, we're burned for better I vowed I would always be yours 'Cause we survived the Great War Uh-huh Uh-huh I would always be yours 'Cause we survived the Great War Uh-huh I vowed I would always be yours Kinda a SOTY material.
