Taylor Swift - 'THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT'


Almodusa

Recommended Posts

I wonder how much we have to thank OTH for the stability of the album. Surely with all this yapping, they must have influenced some locals to give the album a listen to make their own opinions.

 

It's sometime funny how they don't realize how they play such an important part in her domination and continued success. It's feeding her, it's feeding the fans, it's making her popularity increase. Like...

My friend just broke up with her bf and I recommend her to listen to ICDIWABH to get over the heartbreak. Gotta do that promo for Ms. Tay :heart:

Miss Swift will never have the talent. Maybe SHE is the one that drags Hack down.

She made Speak Now a self-written album in response to critics, not the Grammys or fans. 

 

If anything, she cares about the criticism of fans the least unless it results in poor commercial performance (Loser singles). Let's look at exhibit A: But Daddy I Love Him. :chick1:

 

 

What response to critics? Fearless has been a well reviewed album. Especially the singles like love story, fifteen and YBWM. If you are talking about the "She doesn't write her songs" what official critic wrote that?.

 

The whole discourse was upon common people and some people in the industry, not critics.

I AGREE that Ms Carly has mastered this sound, but Masturbate to You? is far more superior when it comes to horny songs...

Not a criticism towards its quality, but some people in the industry (country scene) were downplaying her actual involvement in the songwriting. Like "there is was no way this young girl was coming up with these hooks and melodies alone, her collaborators must've been doing the heavy-lifting."

 

So she solo-wrote SN.

Drake also dropped on Spotify :clap3:

The critics weren't outright saying that she didn't write her songs, but a lot of them were being snarky and giving accolades to the co-writers over Taylor. It's well documented. The most egregious OTSH of the time was Bob Lefsetz. 

 

Taylor does take critics reviews seriously. I mean she directly said she spends release day looking for critical reviews and reading them during 1989 era. We can even see her rn sharing the positive ones on socials.

We need her second fanbase to drag a lyric from a different song out of context again so everyone will stream it

"Why is this billionaire talking about being sad?" being the simmering take behind most of these "reviews"

 

You don't get to tell me about SAD
