base talk Will Taylor ever talk her **** in a song? How would the gp react?

[Fleahive]

We’ve seen almost all the main pop girlies that once lead the pack remind us who they are and their status. Why hasn’t Taylor done this and would the public be for or against it?

 

Examples:

 

Britney: It’s Britney *****

 

Beyonce: This my **** BOW DOWN *******

 

Katy: Swift swift ***** another one in the basket. Can’t touch this another one in the casket 

 

Rihanna: That Rihanna reign just won’t let up

 

Gaga: One second I’m a Koons, suddenly the Koons is me. Pop culture was in art, now arts in pop culture, in me.

the subtle sneak 

[schnetzka]

Would these lyrics in "Karma" fit that category?

 

"Ask me why so many fade, but I'm still here

(I'm still here, I'm still here)"

[Kodak Energy]

She kinda has

 

Ask me what I learned from all those years.
Ask me what I earned from all those tears. 

Ask me why so many fade but I’m still hereeee

I mean that entire song is pretty tongue-in-cheek, don’t know if that is the same as the OP examples.

[By the Water]

She called your faves forgotten fads in Karma

 

[Timeless]

I 100% believe there's stuff in the reputation tv vaults that will be hardcore like that 

[shookspeare]

she doesn't need to because her domination speaks for itself

I hope so. I’m a swiftie when it comes to reputation. I like her when she’s super confident and slightly dark sided. I need a ready for it 2.0 rap but telling the gworls that she broke all their records and they better stop dragging her name through the mud before she buys their career with eras tour alone. Ugh yes

"Ask me why so many fade, but I'm still here."

[The Music Industry]

When you're the real queen, you don't need to remind people

 

[moo]

Many of her already existing dis lines are paired with talking about how she got beat down and now is getting revenge (there's nothing she does better):

 

"So don't look now, I'm shining like fireworks over your sad empty town" (she is)

 

"Maybe I got mine but you'll all get yours" (she was right)

 

"They count me out time and time again, but I come back stronger than a 90s trend" (also right)

 

She's probably too neurotic to ever just drop a "I'm the ******* QUEEN, y'all ******* better RESPECT" type line, though she's certainly earned it.

katy’s problem wasn’t the cockiness tho it was just her being super cringe, even for 2017 standards 

 

taylor showed she can be cocky while remaining cool on LWYMMD, RFI and IDSB, she could do it again without serving corny birthday clown like katy 

[BtDecember]

She already did but with Style (Taylor’s Version).mp3

 

[fentypark]

i see a few sneaks 

[xXavril]

I have to agree with what other users have said.  
 

she already has had tongue in cheek lyrics, and even if they aren’t super explicit, she doesn’t need a ‘I’m the ****’ lyrics. It’s corny and her records speak for themselves 

[Big Bad Wolf]

Is that not Look What You Made Me Do, I Forgot That You Existed, The Man???

[Machete]

She won’t. A large part of Taylor’s succes is from her brand of seeming like just a normal girl. Sure she is Taylor Swift, the superstar on weekends but that’s just her Hannah Montana moment, she’s regular Miley Stewart off the stage and in her music. For example I saw a video of her last month at the film’s premiere where a fan compliments her necklace and she almost robotically responds “OMG I’m renting it it’s so expensive!”. Now girl, you are a billionaire  I don’t doubt the renting because that is common for events but her needing to remind the fan (and audience of the cameras she knew was filming) that all of this glitz and glam is “so not her!” is very intentional for her branding. Overtly braggadocious lyrics do not match with said brand.

Did you miss the entire song about how she's a Mastermind

Do you seriously think in the split second it took her to answer that unprompted question she made sure it fit within some parameters of the public persona you’ve ascribed to her? Or do you not think she answered that quickly and naturally because maybe it was the true answer from her perspective  

[Cruel Summer]

If she actually said something like that in a straightforward, confident way, it would suddenly somehow be a bad thing and people would whine for weeks.

 

I agree that it doesn’t really vibe with her brand and personality, though, so I can’t really see it happening anyway.

The Koons line isn’t similar at all. Gaga is just saying that the art world is now brought forward to the masses through popular culture.

“Karma is my boyfriend” sums it up nice

Then why do swifties make 4 threads a day doing just that
