JoeAg Posted May 17 Posted May 17 4 minutes ago, Dear Reader said: i don't think this is fair to compare. Billie is on her 3rd attempt. At that point, Taylor kept evolving her sound and finding what made her comfortable. This will be more of a fair comparison once Billie is on her 11th album! I can see people getting tired of Finneas production one day, and saying the same things they say about Jack. Couldn't be me though, Finneas is one of the best music producers out there to me. yeah maybe not, idk, I keep seeing threads about both of them so on first impressions I can compare and contrast musical stylings of both of these albums a bit
PoisonedIvy Posted May 17 Posted May 17 1 minute ago, JoeAg said: not for me. I do still like parts of TTPD, like I said. me saying it's a lot better doesn't mean TTPD is necessarily bad, it's just not on the same musical level imo. I appreciate both of their outputs for sure. please don't condescend with me, if that's cool I apologize if my comment came off as condescending, that truly wasn't my intention. TTPD showcases a lot of artistic growth for Taylor. (Stagnation for Jack in some areas sure, but growth for Taylor all around.) It's just sad to not see it get recognized. No worries though. But Billie's growth is just as impressive and we can only hope she will release 8 more albums of high quality like Taylor has done in her career. With the track record Billie has so far though? I have no doubt in my mind she will 1

And even if you don't click with it in the long run that's ok too, I'm sure with Taylor's rate of return we'll have 2 or 3 more albums in the next couple of years for you to get into instead We can BOTH root for Billie to win AOTY though 1

Flower Posted May 17 Posted May 17 Both albums are very good on its own. Don't have to push one down just to praise the other. Sometimes I feel so blessed that I can accept and enjoy almost all pop girl's discography. From ATRL least favorites Camila, Meghan, Iggy, and etc. to ATRL most favorite like Beyonce, Lana, Charli XCX, Carly and etc and many artist in between and I even got into kpop few years ago
Gladiator Posted May 17 Posted May 17 No, I don't. Billie has always released good music. Stop the herd mentality. You can like other artists' work.

Relampago. Posted May 17 Posted May 17 I used to feel like I had to stan only one artist like it was some kind of competitive sports team, especially between the pop girls Music became so much more fun when I stopped caring about that and just enjoyed whatever I enjoyed, especially in a year like 2024 with so many releases 1

Stanning really be blocking people from good music.

joannna Posted May 17 Posted May 17 (edited) Billie makes great albums with her brother, but they're nowhere near the songwriting enigma that is Taylor Swift. Tortured is gonna be streamed 6 to 7 more times than Hit Me. Taylor has Gen X, millennials, and Gen Z in a chokehold in ways Billie can only dream of. stop setting up successful female artists by pitting them against Taylor. it's rude to them.

alexrex Posted May 17 Posted May 17 You can find pleasure in diversity...allow yourself to try new things. In this case, it's music so who cares?

Feanor Posted May 17 Posted May 17 I see Taylor Swift has become a main topic once again during the release week of someone else's album.
