Enrique523 Posted May 15 Posted May 15 I have to say, i'm EXTREMELY happy that the album is doing so well, i was pretty nervous when it received mixed reviews from critics, i wasn't expecting it. I was 100% certain a more indie-sounding album released at the peak of her career would be pure candy for critics but instead they decided to turn on her for such stupid vapid reasons At least the commercial success really shows that critics don't matter at the end and haters are, as usual, a small, very loud bubble. It's a top tier album in her discography and people will have to deal 1
PoisonedIvy Posted May 15 Posted May 15 2 hours ago, IBeMe said: the moment I knew he was being inauthentic with his reaction was when he was pre emptively mouthing certain lyrics he had CLEARLY already memorized by having heard the album before. I know he has the lyrics pulled up on the screen but I caught him a few times mouthing things without looking on his screen and stuff. He heard this record before he reacted and he also searched reactions to it and reviews which tainted his view on the record. He anticipated certain parts to mock them or to celebrate them. I hate inauthentic reactions. I actually can watch a SCATHING reaction if it's genuinely done on the spot and the person is just disappointed with how it sounds from a genuine first impression type of space but when you see someone who has STUDIED the work and formed an opinion prior to recording it just turns me off lol This how I know y'all's hatred for him is clouding your rationality, he reacted to the album like 10 hours after it was released. He would not have had time to "watch or study other people's reactions" or "memorize lyrics" and form a preemptive opinion. He's a musician and music is just auditory repetition and patterns. It's easy to learn melodies after one verse and chorus and apply that to future lyrics, Ajay does the same thing. She sings along by reading the lyrics and learning segments of the song that repeat. He also enjoyed the back half of TTPD more than the front, and truly enjoyed the Anthology (which isn't on YouTube yet.) it's ok for people to not be head over heels for catalog without it making them fake. I genuinely feel like he's one of the most authentic reactors out there because he doesn't diminish or degrade her like Fantano nor does he overhype and worship her like Chats & Reacts. He sits in a perfectly neutral position that gives me insight into the average listeners perceptions of Taylor's music (albeit his elevated knowledge of writers, producers, and musicians influencing his appreciation for many different artists.) 2

Guess I'm not a midnights success stan, that puts what Radio & TikTok would think over what I would think Thank God that wasn't her mindset after Over either. Hide contents No no but it's true. Simple Song The problem is that you just know she won't serve those. She'll serve Olivia Rodrigo but produced by Jack Antonoff 1 1

vale9001 Posted May 15 Posted May 15 Claudio Giunta, one of the bigger experts of italian literature (he's a full professor of italian literature at university of Trento) and an expert of Dante Alighieri wrote a piece about Who's afraid of Little old me on this important cultural magazine, calling it a great piece of literature and comparing It to the writing of zadie Smith and Updike. Makes basically a verse to verse analysis. I post It but of course the article is in italian. https://www.rivistailmulino.it/a/who-s-afraid-of-little-old-me-di-taylor-swift-una-canzone-bellissima 1

I am a fan of Taylor's boring midtempos. Cowboy Like Me is her best song. But there is not a song as good as Cowboy Like Me on this record. Edited May 15 by selena_lavigne 1
