But the tipping point for me is probably "in my feelings more than Drake.” Oh my gods. She deserved to have an AOTY or two revoked after that. 2

All the reaction videos were really fun. But it was just a bad song that had a good moment. As soon as that moment ended, that was IT for the song. I've only played it 7 times in the 2020s.
Goaty Posted April 15 Posted April 15 Me! is really just a poor-mans rehash of Shake It Off. And unfortunately for her it's hard to capture lightning in a bottle twice, especially when SIO was basically carried by one of Max's greatest productions to date. "And to the fella over there with the hella good hair" is arguably as bad as "hey kids, spelling is fun!" but turns out many are willing to turn a blind eye to cheesy sins when Max's godlike horns and percussion are booming in the background. 1

Achilles. Posted April 15 Posted April 15 And now a message from the vice chairman of the board of the tortured poets department: Good evening, I hope this message finds you well. Republic Records has recently signed a new legacy act and we're currently assembling a writing camp to put together an album for her. I'm writing you today to invite you to participate. Our new artist, Taylor Swift, wants to make a statement about the freedom, support, and happiness that she has found in her new home on Republic, so she intends for her very first single with us to be a bold and upbeat empowerment anthem that celebrates all of the things that make her her. Of course, she has an artistic reputation to uphold, is still reeling in disappointment after missing the general field at last year's Grammys, and insists that she has to prove her best days are yet to come. Thus, it is essential that this empowerment anthem be an undeniably excellent song that will impress critics, audiences, and Grammy voters alike. On her most recent album reputation, Taylor went "dark" and leaned heavily into a bad girl persona. It did not go all too well for her, so now she's keen to rinse off the stink by recording an album whose cliche "return to form" narrative has already been written before even a single lyric has been. As she wishes to get back to basics, Taylor is looking to record some cute and catchy love songs like the classics that made her famous back in the day. She has conceived of the project as an ode to love in all its forms and has been floating 'Lover' as a plausible title for the record. Naturally, it is therefore imperative that the greatest love songs of her storied career be written for this project. However, Taylor has also come under fire lately for her deafening silence on political matters, so she is also eager to set the record straight by recording some rhyming press releases set to catchy beats in order to correct this public misperception. Songs addressing feminist issues and expressing support for the queer community are in very high demand for this project and will be prioritized as promotional singles. The recording sessions for these songs may also be filmed for inclusion as part of Taylor's upcoming damage-control "documentary.” Please let me know if you're interested in being part of the writing sessions for Taylor Swift's new album! Thanks, O. T. H. The Tortured Poets Department Republic Records Spoiler Loser is an abysmal piece of mediocrity the likes of which we as swifties have never seen before. It is so blatantly forced. Almost the entire album was just written for the sake of "correcting" the narratives of her career. "They think I'm a white supremacist trumpster bigot so I'll write a feminist song about how I'm ~oppressed~ because I'm a woman!” and "now that I'm flopping I need to shore up my gay fanbase so I'll write a tokenizing, corporatized pride anthem for them, except half of it will actually be about how centuries of overt bigotry is just like all the mean tweets people write about me!” "After underperforming with my dark, goth-punk moment of female rage I need to book a quick little return-to-form comeback narrative, which is the single most cliche thing that I could do at this point!” Because the narratives were prioritized over the actual music, she ended up producing an album that sounds like a playlist of songs thrown together by a writing camp instructed to write a Taylor Swift album. The songs are mostly shallow, reductive, and derivative. They're like parodies of Taylor Swift songs. Half of the singles were literal PR statements. This album has an entire handful's worth of contenders for the crown in the competition of "worst Taylor Swift song of all time.” The album's concept, if you can even call it that, is the weakest of her career—and particularly embarrassing because none of her best love songs are even on this album. I swear that half of this album's enduring "success" just comes down to the fact that it's hideous aesthetic appeals to the Basic White Girl demographic that is unfortunately a disproportionately large segment of her audience. Gods. It's so disgusting that this album has sympathizers, let alone stans. 6
swiftawaywithme Posted April 15 Posted April 15 I remember hearing the first verse of ME! thinking it would be good; finally, alas, a decent lead single--unlike the previous album's LWYMMD, which I didn't really enjoy--but that wasn't the case at all. The pre-chorus hits, But one of these things is not like the others Like a rainbow with all of the colors and I begin to feel queasy. The chorus arrives and I am devastated and disappointed even more so than my first listen of LWYMMD. We all waited 13 days for this? 1

Achilles. Posted April 15 Posted April 15 (edited) Some of my original Loser reactions from August 2019: Spoiler I Forgot That You Existed Filler. Kinda never need to hear it again Cruel Summer Cute I Think He Knows Toe tapping filler Miss Americana A masterpiece. One of her best songs. Cornelia Street Beautiful perfect flawless speak now vibe London Boy Super cute, kinda poorly mixed Soon You'll Get Better She Colbie Callait'd the Dixie Chicks but it's so beautiful and sad False God Beautiful filler It's Nice to Have a Friend ... why? Daylight Stunning My mind was so ahead of its time with that first one, but not nearly ready to fathom FG and INTHAF. I wonder what will be the False God of Tortured Eardrums (initially considered filler but eventually a top 3 song from the album). Edited April 15 by Achilles. 1
Achilles. Posted April 15 Posted April 15 My favorite thing about the surface level political allegory of "Miss Americana" is that the only possible reference of "they whisper in the hallway 'she's a bad, bad girl’” is… Spoiler 1

Achilles. Posted April 15 Posted April 15 Paper Rings theoretically should be great and I do not actually have any complaints about it, but there's a certain je ne sais quoi that holds it back from greatness. Hate when that happens. Hope none of the songs on Poets are like that. 1

Achilles. Posted April 15 Posted April 15 What if "hereby" and "conduct" do not actually form a phrase / sentence. What if the words are actually unrelated. What if "conduct" is actually the noun, rather than the verb. What if.
