If Taylor released Golden as the lead single off an album (fully in English), how would it have been received?

We'll get 86 variants

Who would sing the chorus?

I don't think she'd be able to sing the song well so not sure.

Girl there's an A5 in that chorus, what's Taylor gonna do play it on piano

I actually think her lack of vocal range would make the chorus less grating, and thus better.

She wouldn't be able to hit those notes, so she'd have to lower the key, and the song would make me less likely to want to slash off my ears.

Idk it's giving if ww1 didn't happen would ww2 be called ww1

The song is bad in general. And off key

She don't have the range but she would be able to make it "listenable" somehow

It would sound similar to this

That chorus is one that fits Adele better.

I'd unstan

It would be received like ME!.

So no difference?

we'd have 24k(variants) gold

Probably better than The Life of a Showgirl

What are these scenarios some of you make up sometimes

What if Taylor Swift released Thriller in 1982, how would it have been received ?

I can see bebe rexha or ava max giving life to that song

The chorus would need to be reworked for her vocal range, but it'd still probably be a huge hit? what kind of discussion are you hoping for with a question like this

She would be dragged to hell for copying Kpop

I'm never not amazed at the "what-if" scenarios you people on here manage to conjure up

I thought you were talking about this song

Golden already has more variants than any Taylor Swift song ever released. Y'all truly just say anything

This. The 'uplifting' lyrics of Golden are just as cringe, juvenile, and cliche as they are in ME!, maybe even worse
