vale9001 Posted April 27 Posted April 27 (edited) Lover had a better chart rub than rep. The fact She was saved by folklore Is real in term of image but commercially speaking lover had already great legs before that. People like It more than rep. Also LWYMMD was a #1 yeah but ready for It and end game were two flop. you Need to calm down and lover Song were bigger second and third singles so... With rep we had titles on mainstream magazine like forbes "why Taylor Swift Is not relevant anymore" Washington post with titles like "Taylor Swift Reputation being Number One Is a symbol of the america of Trump" Her image was hated for music, for politics and and for everything. With lover She was already appecciated for the scooter Braun thing and the importance of the move for the industry and for artists, the fact she was finally politically engaged. People dragging her for me! Being cringe and her coloured hair was a paradise in comparison with what She got during the rep era from media and the press. Let's be serious.

PoisonedIvy Posted April 27 Posted April 27 After a week of the album being out I'm going to say evermore is still my #1 from her because it's basically a perfect album, I'm so emotionally attached, it's comforting, and it truly is an escape from reality. TTPD:TA is sonically volatile, thematically reckless, and lyrically experimental. I love it though. It's Red on crack cocaine in a three way with a wine-drunk evermore and a joint-high Midnights. But for now I'm going to let it settle in as my #2 favorite album from her, because I'll have to see if it ages as phenomenally as evermore has. That album is one for the ages. I'm going to be 87 still riding hard for that one. Good luck TTPD, I'm rooting for you. 2

Popular Post PoisonedIvy Posted April 27 Popular Post Posted April 27 I know I contributed (and probably even initiated, with my ME! tweet) this Lover discourse but I just have to say I am appalled that we are 8 days into a new, 31 track double album era, and yet as a fanbase we have yet again reverted to a puta VS Lover discussion. We will NEVER be free of these shackles 16
vale9001 Posted April 27 Posted April 27 (edited) During the rep era even Hayley Williams mother liked a tweet dragging her cause She was a coward and politically silent. I said everything Edited April 27 by vale9001 1
mael Posted April 27 Posted April 27 The reputa tour did the heavy lifting when it came to maintaining Her presence… snatching the biggest US tour in Her backlash era…

mokitsu Posted April 27 Posted April 27 The OG TTPD album is so great Anthology tracks feel like Folklore/Evermore rejects but it's still good, just not as good. 2

The Disney+ trailer feels too good to be true It's like documenting a real life Disney princess, with how sterile and pristine everything is

I think the Anthology is a continuation of that sound but personally, I can't truly group it with those two because their writing is rooted in fantasy and escapism, even if the inspirations are real. Anthology is almost TOO rooted in its real world inspirations, pretty much keeping it out of the folklorian woods in my mind

mael Posted April 27 Posted April 27 I didn't want to be the one to say it but yes, the production on The Anthology feels tacked on and unfinished… compare any of Aaron's tracks on The Anthology to SLL or loml… the latter are much more polished like the evermore tracks 1

WHICH is why I engage with The Anthology as something -different- from the folk+more eras. The writing and production aren't trying to escape reality, they're crashing headfirst into it! 1

Here in Japan EVERYONE knows Ready for it and to an extent End Game, way way way more than every Lover single. Reputation was huge here and so was the tour, Lover had zero impact. In the US she was dragged during Rep AND Lover, I remember people making fun of ME! and YNTCD like crazy. And every Taylor fan I know loves Rep more than Lover. Anyway Rep is and will always be superior. Edited April 27 by Black Sunflower 1

Dear Reader Posted April 27 Posted April 27 (edited) I can't really get over this song. It has to be top 10 of her career... It's SO haunting, I feel drawn to it. I think this might be my 20th post praising this song Edited April 27 by Dear Reader 10 1

ATRL Moderator bluebirdsforever Posted April 27 ATRL Moderator Posted April 27 A lot of the Aaron Anthology tracks feel like demos to me, which is either appealingly raw / unplugged or unfinished-sounding depending on how you look at it 1
folkloreking Posted April 27 Posted April 27 Haven't checked this for a couple days, let me see what's new— *rep vs Lover a-fawking-gain* I'm going back to collapsing over TTPD in peace. 1
