I’m starting to believe it’s all the people who haven’t actually listened to her country albums in full.

I mean, wasn't it already one of the all time fan favorite before she even made pop? 2

The emotional rollercoaster of finally seeing someone recognizing the excellence of The Last Time, only to be followed by a Sad Beautiful Tragic drag was wild. I do not know how to feel. 12
vale9001 Posted February 22 Posted February 22 I found enchanted something still very unique in her catalog even after she made 7 albums more. It's like the typical old Taylor Swift storytelling,and a very long Song, but with the pop euphoria of the future. Something She didn't put together in the same way in the future. So i can understand why people discovered It and found It like something different from the Taylor Swift they knew or were listening to at the time. 1

Holiest Dreams Posted February 22 Posted February 22 (edited) 1 hour ago, Maroon legacy said: People criminalizing og versions too much. They're still her work and she still getting money from streams. I never stream og anyway, 'cause I'm too lazy to go for another album just so I could play normal version of Style, Red, Holy Ground, etc. But the overall "you're not a swiftie if you listen to STOLEN VERSIONS THAT WERE STOLEN FROM HER BY BIG BAD GREEDY MEN and you don't respect her art" narrative is bullshit. This is tea. Also, I prefer the originals over the rerecordings for all albums sans Fearless. I know Debut will be an upgrade as well, duh, and then rep… I don’t even want to imagine it. Just a personal taste thing, since I get why lots like the new versions as well. I’m a bit hyper aware of production elements that many wouldn’t pay attention to. The main thing is that I wish fans were all a bit more normal about these takes and would just let people prefer one version, whichever it may be, without being so pretentious. “No you can’t prefer the originals, there’s zero difference at all, you’re a fake Swiftie!!11!!1” vs. “The new versions are literal audio farts, you’re deaf for preferring them!!1!1!1” Like omg — BE. NORMAL. Yes, there are differences and it’s okay if some people don’t like them, but it’s also okay if some people (evidently many people, judging by the streaming numbers) like the changes. There’s really not any way to measure which version is objectively the best. Edited February 22 by Holiest Dreams 6 2
Holiest Dreams Posted February 22 Posted February 22 Gary sounds awful on the rerecording of The Last Scripture, but the guitar solo and added harmonies/production elements sound absolutely divine. A song, why do critics hate it? Is it because the outro is unapologetically lifted from Chasing Cars (which isn’t shocking since the same guy produced both)? Regarding iconic Taylor ballads and TTPD; does anyone else expect something very similar to The Alcott on the record? I can’t decide if So Long, London will be a gorgeous piano ballad that explodes with electric guitars or a slow, lush piano ballad a la The Alcott or Tolerate It, but I’m honestly here for either. Anyway, I really hope there’s a song on the album that sounds like The Alcott. And please no more TLGAD/LSS/Renegade rehashes (as much as I love all three of those, don’t get me wrong), I need some totally new productions from Aaron 1

And "So Long, London" should have the same quality as "Sad Beautiful Tragic", as in it needs to feel like you are actually on the road while listening to it, leaving the place that was so dear to your heart. Edited February 22 by Klein 2
joannna Posted February 22 Posted February 22 i want So Long, London to give Holy Ground, glorifying her love to Joe but also saying goodbye in an endearing way i don't want TTPD to be a total slashing of Joe, i want it to be a record of love, heartbreak, growing apart, AND slashing. 1

NEX Posted February 22 Posted February 22 If Taylor suddenly stopped releasing music right this moment, which of her albums would chart the highest 5/10/15/20 years from now? Hint: Not Reputation
Maroon legacy Posted February 22 Posted February 22 36 minutes ago, every1blinks said: I would argue reputation is somewhat chronological Yep. But only because the whole concept was "I was cancelled, but I still have my lover, so I'll be fine" and she needed to serve some dark/angry vibes in the first half of the album so she could go to softer lovely place then

Maroon legacy Posted February 22 Posted February 22 I remembered a scene in Miss Americana where she sat in the car and there was a lot of fans and she said that it's not okay. And now I think... was she really that concerned and angry about this happening to her or was she just projecting Joe's feelings about her popularity? And no, of course I know that it's NOT normal when they stalk her like that, but in that time.. was it really coming from herself?

She has a hate-love relationship with the fame. I think it depends on her mood. When she feels good, she doesn't mind the fans, but when she feels low she hates the pressure. It's honestly a miracle that she is still so sane after so many years under extreme pressure, especially considering she got famous as a teenager. It's extremely rare that she seems to be stable and she can handle all this ****. And a honorable mention for Travis Kelce, because joining her world at this level and doing it so smoothy is quite impressive. 1
