I can't put my finger on it but something isn't clicking The standard doesn't have that many strong melodies IMO and the production is minimal and blends together on a lot of them. I'd suggest listening in small pieces to learn each song more. Then just pick and choose your faves. 31 songs is so many, there's bound to be some you don't connect with. Plus, a lot of the lyrics are almost too personal to where you don't connect as much while listening imo. I'm just gonna playlist my faves and go from there. And it's a lowtempo album like Evermore, I don't think it will be a constant streamer like 1989 or so. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, she'll recreate the miracle again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor fanboy Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Even a very beloved short album like Melodrama has naysayers on at least one track. Imagine a wordier double-album. As listeners (stan if we want to put ourselves in a pedestal), we're not forced to like every song. Pick your faves, add it to your playlists. End of the day. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinkbowvintage Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 (edited) 10 minutes ago, 305 said: Wait. Is this all true? I really didn't know anything about Matty until last year. This might change the way I listen to the songs Yes, it's true. Taylor and Matty first met in 2014, I believe. They were mutual fans of each other and Taylor attended his shows. They were rumored to have hooked up at least once around that time before Taylor started dating Calvin. I do think this is a long-running crush/infatuation she had, not just some random fling for a couple months. This relationship definitely hurt her in a way others didn't and I get why. He was someone I believe she always wanted ("the 1") but the stars finally aligned for them in 2023 only for them to go crashing down, partly under the court of public scrutiny.

enchanted0 Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Coney Island took me 2 years to enter my evermore top 5 even though I loved it on my first listen. I'm very excited how the songs will end up for me!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinkbowvintage Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 People are being so hard on Taylor over Matty when I guarantee most of us have been embarrassingly dickmatized by at least one f-boy or f-girl like this before the hot and cold relationships are often the most exciting muses 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALA Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 I went to that LA 1975 show where Taylor and Selena were backstage in 2014. I literally saw Taylor's ig post being there after the show and freaked out crazy shed end up writing songs about Matty 10 years later 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
