They would hand a lower score for the Jack side (high 6s) and a higher score for the Aaron side (high 7s). I don't think they will pan it. They seemed to have enjoyed it more than Midnights, so definitely in the 7.2-7.9 range at least imo Yeah I don't think P4K will give this below 7 but who knows.

Wonderland Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 2 hours ago, Goaty said: But isn't the song all about moving on? Sure there's some overtly petty sentiment throughout, but I personally don't see that taking away from what she's trying to say. I'm sorry, but hiding KIM in the song title doesn't demonstrate she has moved on at all. It's a petty and childish move that she knows will get her fans to commit the abuse for her while she tries to claim maturity and growth. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiding her name in the title isn't even the pettiest part of the song. I don't think she needs to like Kim or even respect her as a person to move on, and I don't think her decision to write a song about the experience and what she's learned from it is evidence that she hasn't moved on. Never mind that the concept of "moving on" from something isn't a "you have or you haven't" type of thing. It's a gradience that I think is well reflected in the very song we're discussing. But I understand if others in the thread don't agree with me. Edited April 20 by Goaty 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Letemtalk Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 2 hours ago, AvadaKedavra said: If the score its goin down hope the critics blame jack antonoff on their reviews. Thats all we need. For Taylor to realize how he's not good for her anymore. Jack helps Taylor release a huge quantity of music in a short time period, which allows her to release multiple albums per year and keeps her name in the spotlight. Just a few bad reviews among the 5/5 reviews won't stop her huge sales and won't stop her winning awards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Cameltoe Chariot Posted April 20 Popular Post Share Posted April 20 I finally listened to The Anthology half and sisters... my god this is a 31 track SNOOZE FEST. She really is the MCU of the music industry at this point. Mass produced, overstuffed content that is nothing but endless easter eggs and winks at the audience who know the lore of the previous 200 films. This album literally relies on the listener to: a) be obsessed with her as a person b) know all the intimate details of every person she's ever slept with Without that you're left with a whole lot of nothing. Unfortunately it seems the fame and unwavering acclaim has dimmed her creativity. I really hope the negative response to this wakes her up, because she's so f*cking talented. 32 2 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I'm going to say to this is if you want to listen to a genuinely healthy "moving on" album, go listen to the masterpiece that is Kacey Musgraves' "Deeper Well". 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMIT Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 (edited) 1 hour ago, JoeAg said: yeah I know that's what I was responding to I'm confused by why you're saying some sh*t like open the schools They're quoting the review itself: Quote "I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary," Swift muses, and it sounds like satire. This is your songwriter of the century? Open the schools. Also, I'm not sure your dismissal of the critiques over the album's title/title track as people doing the most over it holds much weight when it is literally contradicted by Taylor herself: Quote I'd written so much tortured poetry in the past 2 years and wanted to share it all with you https://www.instagram.com/p/C57qcCPucLV/ Edited April 20 by AMIT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinning Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 It is funny how things have changed and 84 is such a terrible score now. I remember when Beyoncé's 4 got a 73 and that was an amazing score for a pop girl and nowadays the girls would be dragging. We're truly living in the poptimism era. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw her former classmates go into detail about how she invited the senior class to the 2009 CMAs or something just bc they used to be mean to her. Kim being on her mind does not surprise me, it's in her nature to be petty. Her beating the dead horse by putting her discography back on Spotify during Katy's Witness release. I kinda live!

Chris Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Again why do people want Taylor to "try something new"? Ya'll are still going to not like her regardless, either going to call her a try hard, call her cringy still, and it's not going to change your perception whatsoever. So.....
