Just expanding on what @Incandescent Glow said a few pages ago… I think it's a real blessing we hold our fave to a high standard because we know what she's capable of… Blank Space, Style, Cruel Summer etc - these are some of the best pop songs of the 21st century - she's so skilled at crafting a perfect pop song so for all that talent and skill to be absent on Showgirl was profoundly confusing… as a result I find analysing Showgirl far more interesting than listening to the actual music.

And ofc it's important to separate the good-faith constructive criticism from the people that will dislike anything she puts out simply because she's Taylor Swift…

Still, I'll still be waking up at the ungodly hour of 5am to listen and I really hope we get something worthwhile.

Showgirl was okay but it felt very manufactured pop

Plus Travis kelce said it was full of bangers lol

1989 is far better.

Action speaks louder than words. Thank you for loving that album.

Now go and give 1945 some streams if you love it that much like you said. This thread is about the upcoming EP and a new single.

So she recorded four more songs after the lackluster reception of the original album? I don't really see what she's trying to achieve with this. All four tracks would have to be really good for the album as a whole to get even somewhat more positive reviews. And even if the tracks are really good, do they actually make sense in the context of the rest of the album? She must be really confident in these four songs if she wants to continue the era. Or is it simply too early for a reputa/debutsus re-recording?

1989 also had a deluxe edition. I think these were songs intentionally left for the deluxe.

Reminder: Please postpone your suicide thoughts 🙏😿

@Timeless sis downvoting everyone who says something even vaguely negative about Showgirl is not it.

I'm awaiting the chicken… I'm really patient zero

So the #1 debut is already secured with the CD singles. And we still have the vinyls to be announced.

A billion songs you could start your morning to and you choose THAT ⚰️ I'm so sorry for you

These 4 tracks better be good enough to kick out Eldest Sh*tter, $hitli$t, CANCELLED and Ruin the Album.

I have zero expectations these 4 new songs will be groundbreaking. Now, why would she intentionally leave out 4 better songs and give us inferior tracks to begin with?

Some of yall are expecting surefire bops because why would she waste all this energy on songs that aren't good? Did we forget all the duds she released for the TV vault tracks? I don't even touch half or 3/4 of the vault tracks I stopped trusting her when she thought ME! was the best thing ever at one point.

I miss the days when her standard albums were masterpieces with no skips or 1 or 2 skips. She releases so fast now, there's no quality control.
