wastedpotential Posted April 14 Posted April 14 2 minutes ago, Klein said: I wouldn't say it's a bad album (I wouldn't say she released a single bad album for that matter), but it's definitely just there for me, and bottom 2 in her discography (how excited that the other one in the bottom two is tomorrow ). At least she consolidated all of her bad albums to the same career stretch so the poor 2017-2020 Swiftismists didn't have to deal with a low, then a resurgence, and then another low That was kind of her 1
selena_lavigne Posted April 14 Posted April 14 I would like to say that y'all hype the wrong songs up. Mr. Perfectly Fine does not slap when 5 Million Swifties keep screaming that it's a masterpiece. We Were Happy should have gotten that treatment.

Y'all are real ones. I would've jumped ship. 3

I love Lover personally, but for us former Country Swifties, it's particularly special because Soon You'll Get Better feels like seeing heaven again after being locked outside for seven years (despite the subject matter being quite heavy) 3

Well, except for Lover - even though I did enjoy it. Edited April 14 by Kyle-x 1 1

Honestly this woman could release ME! over and over and over in more and more and more derivative forms than the last, and I'd still be here I hitched my wagon to miss Swift 17 years and 2 months ago (Jesus...), and even if there have been some waverings, I can't imagine it any other way. Quite honestly she could kill everyone in my family and cut off all my limbs and I'd still be first in line for the next album release, because this is the woman who made evermore, and I'll overlook anything for that 1 2 2

Magickarp Posted April 14 Posted April 14 Back then I created a fake Tinder acc of a hottie so i could promote ME! I used the lyrics to have a conversation, until they figured it out. "Oh this is the type of music u like? 😅" Whew the way they were trying to be nice, some were really bitchy tho

Spoiler Well, I think neither transitions are that bad, though they are regressions yes. But I think evermore -> Midnights is less jarring that Red -> 1989. 1989 is really saved in my eyes by the surefire bangers all throughout. However, the album barely has any personality and most lyrics are extremely vague (this is a nicer term for generic), the complete opposite of Red. 1
Cruel Summer Posted April 14 Posted April 14 I'm still kind of hoping TTPD has some country somewhere because reliving the dark days where it was literally just SYGB and her feature on Babe still hurts 1 1

selena_lavigne Posted April 14 Posted April 14 Soon You'll Get Better is not a song I enjoy listening to. It would be near the bottom of my ranking.

vale9001 Posted April 14 Posted April 14 (edited) 1989 was perfect after speak now and Red. Another album of 6 minutes narrative country rock songs and her career would have been John mayered and now She would be a Legacy act . The perfect moment to change everything. Doesn't matter if worst than Red, was refreshing Edited April 14 by vale9001
SoSickOfThatSOL Posted April 14 Posted April 14 Quote I hereby conduct you, swifties, to buy all versions of the album* *No more that 2 per receipt
Magickarp Posted April 14 Posted April 14 I remember when Evermore first dropped and everyone was stanning Gold Rush, & calling it their faveWhy does nobody talk about her now? Hmm Some of us had Cowboy as their #1 from day 1!

selena_lavigne Posted April 14 Posted April 14 (edited) Cowboy Like Me is Taylor Swift's best song. There are some things that are factual and this is one of them. Edited April 14 by selena_lavigne 5
