I initially thought The Anthology side of the album was the best but on repeated listens, the production on those tracks just run together and lack the quirky qualities of the standard.

The first half has always been the stronger album. That's not to say there aren't several standouts on part 2, but overall, as an album, is weak.

Man, loml is so sad, especially when you kinda relate to the lyrics, the lines just before each choruses are so depressing and the outro is just devastating. Excluding Ronan, it's probably one of her saddest songs.

The first five tracks of the standard are just immaculate and very easy listening imo.

The best for running! But Daddy I Love Him puts me in euphoria when I run.

With the another version she just released it seems like kanye still lives in tay's mind rent free. 

Miss taylor should've let him go already. 

It really felt desperate for taylor and kanye just dropped the album casually on a saturday night acting carefree. taylor is just playing chart games and winning stupid prizes.

If throwing multiple listening parties for the same album over a significant period of time, where every single time it was followed by a new delay due to the underwhelming response, on top of the endless teasing is considered casual, then you may need to reevaluate your knowledge of the english language :celestial5:

 

what's funnier is that a random unintentional gesture of hers creates more hype and chaos than his release :dies:

The fact that people are STILL trying to convince themselves TTPD (and Midnights) didn't connect with anyone but hardcore Swifties :toofunny3: You don't break every streaming record and sell 5M copies in 3 months thanks to your fanbase only. Swifties are the ones living in a bubble though! :bam:

This LOSER. Sure, I don't think every Midnights/TTPD song is an 11/10 (looking at you, ***** and Kim), but to act as if there's nothing of merit to be found is just LUDICROUS :deadbanana4:

 

I fear we need to dramatically roll out deafness screenings in schools post-covid, because surely his inability to hear correctly would've been caught by now otherwise?

People pretending to be objective about their dislike for an artist will always baffle me… like tweet about someone you love?

now that i know who Kamala picked for her VP candidate I am fully on board with Taylor giving her a boost or whatever by endorsing her tbh (IF she wants to even do that of course). Guys I have been beaming all day ever since I knew Walz was going to be her VP choice :smitten: 

--------------

I hope she gives Broken Heart a bunch of remixes and a new tour mv of the full performance on the week that it peaks on radio. Could give enough of a boost to get a week at #1

Yeah they should really listen to Taylor's words:

 

I wanna be defined by the things that I love
Not the things I hate
Not the things that I'm afraid of, I'm afraid of
Not the things that haunt me in the middle of the night
I, I just think that
You are what you love

A September announcement would mean a November release. That's too close to TTPD.

REP TV album should come by November 10, the day of the 67th Grammy nominations as well as 7 year album anniversary of REP OG.

well… Kamala's laugh would sound amazing in the background of ICDIWABH's squeeze-me chicken toy instrumental :jonnycat:

I don't think either date is one that needs a release timed with it
