Popular Post IBeMe Posted January 10 Popular Post Share Posted January 10 It's literally one of the best pop songs released. It's so weird and unique sounding. 13 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Cruel Summer Posted January 10 Popular Post Share Posted January 10 It’s true and you should say it! Excellent melody, excellent songwriting, revived her career at pop radio, some of her best vocals because of the way she sang it I honestly think it was potentially the best single choice of her entire career because of how perfectly it balances being the right single for the era (like WANEGBT, SIO, LWYMMD) with actually being excellent as a pop song independent of its lead single status. 15 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prettyinpink940 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Yes and so is "Karma" 4 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatiRod Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 (edited) She did that, her biggest hit in years for a reason. 80s influenced synth pop perfection with lyrics that walk a fine line between clever and accessible and poetic. "I'll stare directly in the sun but never in the mirror" is a great pop lyric for the ages. A lifetime captured in one line.

TaylorNation Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 yes the live version is so good too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawnettakins Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Yes, her best song imo and I don't even like Taylor that particularly much. A great melody and captures her songwriting skills pretty decently for what's on it's face a mainstream pop song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naval23 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Honestly it's the first commercial lead single that I liked (other than cardigan but that was more indie) Still sounds so good 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naval23 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 The fact it was her return to radio stardom and made her a Hot 100 giant again 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bad Wolf Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I am an OTH, but I enjoy this one and Karma. Lavender Haze too, but that one sounds a little dated to me for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WitnessOblivia Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 It's a fantastic song. It might actually be one of my fave songs by Taylor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurem Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Anti-Hero is Taylor’s most overrated song, in my opinion. It’s very bland, sounds like a Disney channel reject and the lyrics are okay at best (I scream when people think Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as altruism is some kind of poetry dd ) 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndThenTheCocaine Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Ended her radio poison era for a reason Spoiler Also, "sexy baby" is a good line and you can argue with the wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

byzantium Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 One of her many good songs from midnights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gelato Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 (edited) I prefer Bejeweled and Lavender Haze by far. I've always found Anti-Hero a bit bland and the lyrics are the worst in her career for me. Quote Sometimes I feel like everybody is a sexy baby And I'm a monster on the hill Quote Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as altruism Like some kind of congressman?

ATRL Moderator Ampersand13 Posted January 10 ATRL Moderator Share Posted January 10 Literally listened to it a couple times in a row this morning while driving I really love Midnights just in general, but Anti-Hero is one of my favorite Taylor singles. The vocal production alone (and her vocal performance on the verses particularly) is just 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time is FLYING I was just thinking i can’t believe the whole midnights rollout etc is already over a year behind us.. feels like it was just yesterday. This song already has a bit of nostalgia attached for me too. OT: Easily one of her best leads IMO and the bridge/final chorus is 11/10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
