Ms. Togekiss Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 3 hours ago, Lemon said: I wasn’t talking about those, but even if you want to make case about ME! and Gorgeous, you should find out that Taylor’s personality at the core lies within verses of both songs. Like said later on, these songs are not bad because they have childish lyrics, but because how they are completed. Personally, I enjoy Gorgeous, it works for my mood and theme is how I feel about the topic presented. Then you have Willow, Gold Rush and Snow at the Beach, which should indicate to you that she is capable of writing Gorgeous, Paper Rings type of songs in a more serious, deeply manner, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t capable of bringing it in a goofier way. Like, this is part of her personality. That’s not what I’m saying though. I’m fully aware that it’s her personality, what I am saying is that she can write better quirky songs, because she HAS in the past. And I’m sorry but I can’t take anyone who genuinely enjoys gorgeous seriously Paper Rings is a much better written quirky song with the same theme. SOTB is not a quirky glittery song, but the “weird but ******* beautiful” line is so lazy it stands out and overshadows the rest of the song (especially since it’s the 2 greatest songwriters from this generation who wrote it). It’s those odd lines in some of her songs that I have a problem with. Anti-Hero’s “sexy baby” line is another example. While that one never bothered me personally, a large number of people were thrown off by it. Clearly it didn’t matter since it still smashed, but it takes away from the song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just asking I didn’t say this but their statement isn’t wrong? Songs don’t need to be the biggest of all time to be smashes and become classics. As it was, flowers, and even unholy are bigger than anti hero but that doesn’t mean anti hero isn’t a legitimate smash in its own right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms. Togekiss Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Also, if anyone runs those Spotify swift accounts here: could you change the percentage presented in the spreadsheet from daily to weekly? It makes more sense to compare the numbers to the same day the previous week than the day before the same week right? That way we can see week over week performance. Anti hero has been having red percentages on those spreadsheets even though it did better this week compared to last week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, how would you describe that? I get it you find it lazy, but it certainly flows gently with the melody and their delivery. “Sexy baby” line is something people who already don’t like her cling onto, because it sounds like something that can be taken not worthy or ridiculous just because of how it sounds out of the context even though her intention is perfectly understood by everyone. I know I sound like someone who defends her songscraft no matter what, but that’s not the case, because we are having discussion about something that actually works for her. Taylor is basically Science of Sleep type of movie musician. Goofy, serious, emotional, hearfelt, humorous. That’s why she is lauded actually, because she blends those elements to her advantage. She sometimes makes not so great songs, but at least she doesn’t hide it, because that adds up to her vision.

ATRL Moderator Ampersand13 Posted January 23, 2023 ATRL Moderator Share Posted January 23, 2023 Remember when BOZ told us Lana wasn't getting a verse on Snow on the Beach and we all had a collective meltdown, or when the sexy baby line was first discovered upon the album leaking, lmao I miss those days. And who could forget the constant gif spamming Listen, I get that this has kind of become more a base thread as opposed to an album thread, and that maybe some people's expectations weren't/haven't been met in terms of 'longevity' or 'smash hits' but in my mind blondie really came through with Midnights and I'm sure her team is planning something for LH so we have that to look forward to. The goal post for Taylor has and always will be in the hands of those who champion her supposed faults. Best to enjoy the mountain of music she's given us and celebrate her ongoing legacy methinks.

Best to enjoy the mountain of music she's given us and celebrate her ongoing legacy methinks. i kind of agree to be honest i thought anti-hero could have been still in the top 5 global spotify, with around 4M streams right now i just hope that anti-hero will maintain around 3m streams, once the tour starts hopefully it will probably rise to about 3.5 to 4M range!!! I don't really expect LH to have a huge rise once the MV is released, but hopefully it will rise to at least 1.5M if being promoted!!!

I need someone to go back and dig up the gif of the people throwing soup on that painting because the leaks were bad And then when the album came out and it was actually good and the leaks were just really LQ (as per usual) and someone reversed the gif and the soup flew back into the can Coming into this thread and seeing what new gif y'all were spamming was the best part of my day for like a month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vale9001 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 (edited) I'm new in the forum but I can imagine how some people were crying because positions song was smashing over the fast disappearing Cardigan back in 2020. Or how positions album was outstreaming the flopping folklore. Now just two years after i guess even august from folklore makes more daily streams than that song. And folklore makes 2xtime more daily streams than that album (surpassed some day ago in total streams).

Klein Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 (edited) If we are going to bring the gifs back then we have to come back to this masterpiece: Midnights her best pop album I know that's right.
