I feel like maybe the themes are too common or have already been done by her? I can't put my finger on it but something isn't clicking I agree with @Walk_Away21 about the lack of strong melodies on the standard edition (at least on my initial listens). I Can Do It With a Broken Heart has the most memorable chorus to me but even that song has an odd structure. I’ve connected to more songs on The Anthology so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently had a situation last year where it was a brief but intense crush that couldn't be due to circumstances: the way I reacted to the end of it, parting ways with the guy, you would've thought it lasted at least more than 2 weeks The clearer timeline of the record has made me appreciate it more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CandleGuy Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Your wife waters flowers. I want to kill her. https://www.instagram.com/p/BsVsZfQhWQm/?igsh=Z211dzd6NG1neTRt Her IG is littered with flowers from the timeline she was dating Matty 2015-2019 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle-x Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 13 minutes ago, pinkbowvintage said: 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. My tin hat theory is a big part of why she let things finally end with Joe was that Matty had probably said he would be there for her in the fallout. Then when things went left and she was left standing in the ruins of two relationships with years of baggage it was devastating. I feel like there are so many Matty songs because the ending with Joe was a slow end with more time to process while the Matty thing completely blew up in her face after delusionally believing it would've worked. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
305 Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 23 minutes ago, Walk_Away21 said: 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. Yeah I'm splitting up the albums as intended and only listening to the standard first because I listened to it all through and it was just a bit too much. I'll start listening to the anthology in a few days to grasp it all, I have a feeling I might appreciate that one a bit more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I think that's definitely what happened as there is a LOT of overlap in those relationships, and thus, we get "Guilty as Sin?" with her considering going for it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived also suggests there was some overlap: "'Cause it wasn't sexy once it wasn't forbidden". Her and Matty basically got together right after the Joe break-up and that didn't last long. Edited April 20 by Klein 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omrimayo Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 When do you guys think that she'll tell us about the weekly plan? Do we even think there is one? Maybe was only for Friday-Saturday? Also, Drake is climbing high and fast because AM not combining the songs, it's 2024 and it's still taking them between 3-4 days every single time. I will never understand it 😋 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IBeMe Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 This mv is EXCELLENT! my one complaint is it seems like Posty had some Epione done which froze half his face? what was going on with the right side of his face? Is it like a purpusful thing to sing from the side of his mouth like that? I didn't notice it before. Also...do you guys think this will be the only music video this era? her post kind of makes me think so lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
