I honestly think that plays a role for the more online people. Lmao. Sorry, but this gives me "nobody loves me so I have to pretend Taylor's relationships are mine" vibes. Almost as pathetic as a gaylor. Love Taylor's music, but the fandom is something else. 4 1

Dear Reader Posted May 15 Posted May 15 We will know peace as a fandom once everyone accepts the fact that But Daddy, I Love Him is a career highlight and top 3 on this album. 4 2

Taylor fanboy Posted May 15 Posted May 15 9 hours ago, IBeMe said: what frustrates me a little about some reviews is that A LOT of the albums lyrics are humorous / meant to be funny or sarcastic but it seems like NO ONE is picking up on that except the fans which is so annoying lol. Either that or these ppl are picking up on it but just choosing to act like they arent so they can score points of loling at her for certain lyrical choices. Like the amount of ppl taking the charlie puth, chocolate bars and smelling like babies or weed lines so seriously or out of context is WILD AF lol. I genuinely just don't get it Not to sound like an OTH but that Charlie Puth line has no additional artistic or comical merit, other than it Taylor Swift being herself, and documenting her life through her music. The baby//weed line is clever but it just doesn't land well. "Is that a bad thing to say in a song?" is actually funny without it being… hmmm how to describe it, "controversial" lol. 2
NoOneDiesFromLove Posted May 15 Posted May 15 Whenever I listen to the title track I try to ignore every single lyric written in that song 2

I get it but tbh I always took the Charli Puth line as something you say when you are high or just care free with a friend. It adds a level of comfortability with the person she is speaking with. It gives us a glimpse of how silly their convos were and how frivolous everything was to the when they were together. It's kind of one of my favorite quirkie lines of hers tbh and I dont even like Charli Puth lool! something about it makes me giggle especially knowing how dry she tends to be in conversation lol. I can imagine her saying that with a straight face and then she and the RAT bursting into laughter and stuff. It's cute 3

roso Posted May 15 Posted May 15 This album is gonna be a month old in a few days, time flies. While I instantly loved The Anthologhy, Side A has grown on me so much since I saw it live Top-tier album I fear

Agree to disagree, but speaking of funny lyrics, Fortnight "kill her" lyrics is comical to me because of its irony. Taylor IS a flower-watering type of person. "Who uses TypewriterS anyway?" is funny too like "Who's TS anyway? Ew" on 22. And then obviously, the "NO I'M NOT" on BDILH. 2
Taylor fanboy Posted May 15 Posted May 15 (edited) To my surprise, I'm seeing more comments about The Anthology growing on them? It's confusing because we've had this same base parading folklore as her best album and when we get another one or two (evermore, Anthology), then the succeeding albums (much better too) are suddenly not instant for them. How can you love folklore and not like evermore and The Anthology? Edited May 15 by Taylor fanboy 1

Certain lines are more instant vs others and I guess with fans its easier for us to pick up on when she is being funny or trying to vs with the public so fair enough tbh 2

This is giving that current viral speech of Travis's teammate.
Taylor fanboy Posted May 15 Posted May 15 The chorus of WAOLOM is also funny. The Blank Space / Look camp of the album. We love it!

Maybe this is not the right forum (please don't report me) but once you do a little digging into who MH's mom is, addiction and substance abuse seem to have been a part of his life for a long time. I'm not saying you don't have to take responsibility for your own actions. Just saying things aren't always so simple. In my own mind, I may not have liked him as her boyfriend, but NO WAY was I signing an open letter. That was crossing the line and creepy.
Buffy Posted May 15 Posted May 15 The title song is really good but I think the Dylan Thomas, Patti Smith, and Chelsea Hotel ruin the song for me. I don't understand those references and I'm too lazy to research what she's talking about. 2

So they are poets and Chelsea Hotel has a history of its tenants / guests to be artists getting together as a community to create. A hipster hotel, not to be disrespectful. 1
Taylor fanboy Posted May 15 Posted May 15 About The Black Dog, does anyone know that song "The Starting Line"? We've come a long way from "And you would hide away to find your peace of mind with some indie record that's cooler than mine." 1
