Her daily streams down to 75M, "IION?" free-falling on radio, "Cruel Summer" about to be pushed OUT of the top 10 on Spotify, social media engagement in the gutter, 'TTPD' promo nowhere to be found, pre-orders tanking, Jack Antonoff, album drops left and right clogging up the charts…

 

We are officially in the post-TaylorMania era.

Hot take the only reason a lot of swifties undervalue mids is because it came right after folkmore which conditioned some in the fandom to think thesaurus entries = untouched quality

Right:dies: the vocabulary in those albums isn't even that complex. Most swifties are giving "I never passed high school English class" teas

Well yes, following the magnum opuses folkmore certainly did not help and it was automatically labelled as a big creative regression. But it's not the only reason. Let's not start with the revisionism. Also folkmore weren't even that thesaurus'd, they just had zero glitter gel garbage and bulletproof production. :coffee2:

When I see it being discussed outside of normies using it for an English class I will concede! evermore is her best album but it tricked some of you into a "pop is lowbrow" schtick :psych:

I do dee them too and ngl I did look up some words from it as well since it's not my first language, but I still wouldn't call it thesaurus'd. Only fans who started stanning in 2020 without listening to any of her prior albums would think that. Her pen game was definitely at its peak tho (no matter how many times the Red/SN stans try it :gaycat3:)

some of you can just say "i like Poplor better" and it would have the same effect as some of the essays you write

:gaycat3:

 

What about the writing in Speak Now/Red and folklore/evermore is very different? :gaycat3:

 

I honestly find the type of writing on these two duos to be very different. SN/Red were a lot more about "instant" feelings. Like a raw reaction, when you are still fully in it. It is very reactive.

While in folkmore the writting is much more "distant". It is written in hindsight. It's clear she did not just pour an emotion she felt into a song without taking a long time to truly understand everything it could mean. 

 

Spoiler

At least it makes sense in my head, but I'm at work and I can't really articulate what I mean

Would be cool to see Taylor serve this type of half-spoken verses that suddenly turn into singing and then an explosive chorus
