Weren't they together for only a month or two? I'm not sure, but the way that song plays, I can't believe it even lasted a month or two lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Fortnight will do well but… eh Fortnight is probably the most Midnights-esque song to me, meanwhile this album has so much more to offer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underdogs Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 This isn't an album anyone would expect from pop music's biggest star at their peak. Time will tell whether that's a good or bad thing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetenerhouraoty Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 (edited) okay, if i'm being unbiased it does sound a bit monotone at some points, there's nothing really new or gasp worthy but it's a really enjoyable listen, i really like the most unpretentious moments of the album my initial top 4 is #1. i can do it with a broken heart (very melodrama/supercut coded moment, loved every bit of it) #2. so long, london (oh the intro hitted so hard) #3. who's afraid of little old me (really good production structure) #4. florida!!! (it sounded really fresh towards taylor's style even tho it sounded just like any how big how blue song) Edited April 17 by sweetenerhouraoty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teneo Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 She wrote Red about a 20 minute relationship, why wouldn't she write TIPS about a relationship that lasted 2 weeks the fact that she might actually spent more time writing this than with Matty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magickarp Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 So did Joe even cheat on her? Is Fortnight's "I wanna kill her" about something else? I'm so confused. Is Matty the one that cheated on her? After dating him for a month, like Harry Styles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gladiator Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 6 minutes ago, ithinkheknowsoutsold said: Does anything sound like a smash? (Not the best question since anything Taylor releases smashes, but still) If you're looking for pop bangers, this album is not gonna be your thing. If you took out the radio pop from Midnights and replaced it with folklore / evermore vibes and threw in some vault tracks from 1989 and You're Losing Me, that's what the album is sonically. There's a couple exceptions. I would say you would like I Can Do It With a Broken Heart, which I think is the most radio oriented song personally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1989 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 7 minutes ago, Lose My Breath said: I mean how long was she with Matty? I can't imagine even spending the time writing a song about it Like 6 weeks, but they had hooked up before back in 2014/2015. He's been a simp for her forever. I'm really getting only one 'true' Matty song, though (I Can Fix Him)? Sounds like he's also in But Daddy I Love Him, but it's not exactly flattering, and she's spending a good bit of that song trolling, honestly.

Jaguarqueef Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 (edited) 4/10 The only highlights so far are Florida!! (Saved by Florence) and The Black Dog. I sometimes wonder if I was tricked by Ms. Swift's one-two strokes of genius with Folklore and Evermore, but I remember even her poppier albums have highs of watching it go round and round each time but not caring bc that D is THAT GOOD!(Style) or fervently begging a man who doesn't care about you to remember dancing in the kitchen in the fridge light (ATW) She is a CAPABLE and compelling writer when she TRIES to be. She isn't trying right now. This is the most monotone boring breakup album I have ever heard. Unfitting for a relationship of 7 years. This feels like two fundamentally incompatible people who somehow stayed together for seven years.. He didn't cheat on her, he didn't belittle her, he didn't abuse her; he simply couldn't give her what she needed which according to her is attention. And don't get me started on Antonoff's production..the synths sound soooo out of place in such a downtempo album. The lack of variety in beats until Florida. She needs a new producer ASAP. But Taylor Swift could fart on a synth beat and go triple platinum by the years end, get countless Grammys, etc. I do hope this mediocrity isn't rewarded Edited April 18 by Jaguarqueef Text color 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
