Her saying "I guess I just need to write better songs" and then writing ME!th in the next scene was PEAK camp 38
Thin White Duke Posted April 22 Posted April 22 Wait, how is this bad, am I missing something? Just an artist appreciating positive reviews for her new work. How is that tacky or petty? 😂 7 1
Popular Post Luckitty Posted April 22 Popular Post Posted April 22 I just know she fell on her knees in her private jet when she saw the pitchfork score 30

thatsmydemi Posted April 22 Posted April 22 Is the album even getting bad reviews? Besides the Paste review, the rest are fine and she's got some 100s lol.

Popular Post Rotunda Posted April 22 Popular Post Posted April 22 (edited) 11 minutes ago, WildHeart said: By the same logic, your fave pressures Grammys to vote for her I'm not saying I think it's a big deal Taylor is doing this, but this comparison is kinda…stupid. Grammy voters are anonymous, specific Grammy voters won't be called out by Bey or benefit from voting in her favor. If anything, they'll probably be turned off by her doing this (hell, I think it's a bit cringe). Writers have an incentive toward writing reviews that'll get them clicks. Taylor is explicitly showing that she'll name and promote the articles of people who write glowing reviews, which may impact future reviewers. Edited April 22 by Rotunda 15 2
DevilsRollTheDice Posted April 22 Posted April 22 The album is considered to have "universal acclaim" so it's not a mixed response. She also does this every era. It's not a bad thing to be proud of the things you create, especially when she's so much more involved in the process than 99% of pop stars. 3 2
UnusualBoy Posted April 22 Posted April 22 This was done before the P4K review and what's wrong with doing that? She's not the first pop girl nor the last one to do it.
Holy Ground Posted April 22 Posted April 22 She did the same thing for Lover. Doesn't really seem threadworthy imo 5
Illuminati Posted April 22 Posted April 22 I'm pretty sure she (and many others) thank for the positive reviews every era. And I think it might be for the best that this is where she directs her fans' energy

Not really. There's like one other borderline-negative review and then the Pitchfork one was mediocre. It's still mostly positive and will end somewhere around 85 on Metacritic. This is something she does every album cycle and it has nothing to do with "mixed" reception. ATRL is just having one of those weeks.

PoisonedIvy Posted April 22 Posted April 22 (edited) 4 minutes ago, mercurialworld said: then why isn't the highlighting the work of journalists at pitchfork or paste magazine? When you get positive feedback at work, it's typically public right? In a work meeting, exceptional performances are often met with community praise. Whereas negative feedback is often addressed individually, so as to not shame the person or discourage them from continuing to hone their craft. This is basic human sociology.
