she ended up watching out

Remember all those "records" BTS broke that nobody even knows or talks about? Right.

How many variants did Whitney release?

How can you be at a concert of someone you love and somehow still be more focused on an artist you hate?

Is a single coming friday? YES = Heart NO = Laugh emoji

Swifties are religiously convinced that TTPD is Taylor's magnum opus and a collection of exquisitely high grade poetry. And that the only reason the album got panned and receives constant negative attention on ATRL is because she's super successful and people are hating on her out of jealousy. We keep having heated debates about the neverending variants greed, but I think we should spend more time unpicking the actual quality of this record. So here's a collection of undeniably terrible lyrics from this album that should raise anyone's eyebrows, especially coming from a supposed "songwriter of this generation". This is no way an exhaustive list of bad TTPD lyrics, so feel free to suggest any other lines that I may have missed and I'll add them to the OP. 1. And so I was out of the oven and into the microwave - This is from the prologue. She's referring to her relationship with Joe as the oven and with Matty as a microwave. It's not hard to understand what she is trying to say here, but it's terrible on every single level. 2. We declared Charlie Puth should be a bigger artist - terrible line and simply doesn't work even if we pretend they declared that while they were high 3. I scratch your head, you fall asleep like a tattooed golden retriever - same reason as the above 4. But you told Lucy you'd kill yourself if I ever leave, and I had said that to Jack about you, so I felt seen - Lana does this name dropping very well, but with Taylor this line sounds simply jarring and confusing (possibly because we know who Jack is in this instance) 5. At dinner, you take my ring off my middle finger, and put it on the one people put wedding rings on - an absolutely diabolical way of saying "ring finger" 6. Did you really beam me up in a cloud of sparkling dust just to do experiments on? - awful cosmos metaphors all over this song 7. Now I'm down bad, cryin' at the gym - already a bad line on the surface of it, but once you realise what "down bad" slang actually means it makes it even worse coming from someone of Taylor's age 8. Fʌck it if I can't have him, Cause fʌck it I was in love. So fʌck you if I can't have us - swearing just for the sake of swearing. Sounds really jarring 9. Sanctimoniously performing soliloquies - when thesaurus is your best friend 10. So I leap from the gallows and I levitate down your street - I get the witchery imagery, but the gallows? Really? Nothing ever in her career came close to being this threatening to be able to draw this analogy 11. "Who's afraid of little old me?" You should be - A really bad one, but she really took cosplaying this line seriously with weekly variant threats in attempts to block yet another more popular album of the week by scamming her way to the top 12. You wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me - like really? Your childhood/career were that bad that an average person wouldn't survive an hour in your place? 13. And you deserve prison, but you won't get time - implying that someone deserves prison for breaking up with her. This has to be the worst line on the entire album 14. He jokes that it's heroin, but this time with an "E" - making fun of someone's drug addiction is never cool 15. We would pick a decade / We wished we could live in instead of this / I'd say the 1830s but without all the racists - no, just no. Simply doesn't work in any context even if she's eventually realises that she wouldn't be happy in that decade either. 16. You know how to ball, I know Aristotle - really bizarre way of saying she knows philosophy 17. Brand new, full throttle, touch me while your bros play Grand Theft Auto - suddenly Spelling is Fun doesn't sound so bad 18. Everyone knows that my mother is a saintly woman, but she used to say she wished that you were dead - no explanation needed (i hope) 19. In the age of him, she wished she was thirty, and made coffee every morning in a Frеnch press. Afterwards, she only atе kids' cereal - Taylor, what is this??? This sounds so odd and jarring on every level 20. Even statues crumble if they're made to wait - Statues eventually crumble. They aren't made to wait either - they don't have a choice. This doesn't make sense on any level even if she refers to herself as a patient statue. 21. Stopped trying to drill the safe - referring to trying to get through to Joe All of those + the absolute lyrical disasters that are My Boy, Down Bad and So Long London - all three songs are stuffed with metaphors to the brim just for the sake of finding thematic metaphors - worst kind of writing. What Swifties don't understand is that the writing on this album pales in comparison with Folklore and Evermore and Red etc, and this was supposed to be her grand poetic adventure. With so many lyrical missteps this album can only be described as "mid" at best, and don't get me started on the production.....

Not the full song leaking with hurricane-level winds blowing through the speaker

Swifties thinking they were doing something with this thread only for it to backfire and prove OTHs right 💀

well it's over

her haters are literally as insane as her hardcore fans... like are you not embarrassed

Not the FEAR to say the word trans to her

Her words are like Chinese water torture

It's depressing how black excellence is being replaced by white nonsense.

Yeah I don't know about the singing part, but very much agree with everything else. Nothing she ever did or said justifies the amount of vitriol I've seen for her online this year so far. It was especially sad to see pop fans mocking a veteran who went out of her way to give a proper ERA, with an album, a movie, a docu, a live concert special, despite being in her damn 50s. 'Who asked for this' nobody has to ask for it, just wanted to do it and she did it and good for her. This should be celebrated, especially looking at how little effort most other artists put in nowadays, but instead got ridiculed. Very pathetic for everyone taking part in this bandwagon. Jealousy indeed, as Nikki said.

Celine, Whitney, Taylor. The vocal trinity

"As much as people want to believe you're tuned into every little thing, I'm not because I'm constantly working. But I know people will just say things because that's all they have time to do." The way she read all ATRL members, most of all the ones who immediately scurried to this thread

You mean to tell me the narratives OTHs create in their head don't match up with reality? I'm SHOCKED

OTHs: "Uhhh Sabrina working for Skims, I bet Taylor HATES HER!!! #FEUD!!!!! Sabrina: "There's no issue with her over this, it's all cool" OTHs: "Oh so she needed to get Taylor's PERMISSION????? CONTROLLING EVIL *****!!!! There's no helping the brainrot

We're just here for Angelina Jolie

So you mean that a grown ass woman needs to ask for permission and validation in order to do business? I don't know who looks worse.. Sabrina for being a dumbass with no backbone or Taylor for being the bully that she is. Or the swiftie OP that thought this was a cute look for Taylor

So she needed permission?

I have noticed the trend of her branding fully as "GAGA" recently, with no mention of "Lady" - Just "GAGA" in the Joker 2 trailer - "GAGA Chromatica Ball" - "LG7, GAGA RETURNS" and now this GAGA custom bag

swifties make me hate taylor so much more than i actually do ya'll really don't know flavour

We know that Taylor loves to sabotage female artists (Charli, Olivia, Billie) and she previously targeted Katy by releasing Bad Blood. How will Taylor try to sabotage Katy's comeback single, Woman's Word? A surprise album? Voice notes? Acoustic versions? Share your predictions

We've got a pop girl announcing a new release and not 10 minutes later y'all are already making this about Taylor.

spread the gospel sis

Calm down sir

I'm not getting my hopes up after the Mariah remix

"he also works very fast" we can tell

Eat my ***

I don't think she has to release anything based on that snippet

She had to talk to her about it? It's a paid gig... the fear

meanwhile Ms Houston did it with one

Katy Perry has released "Woman's World," the lead single from her upcoming album, 143! Music video:

deleting brat and selling my copies

so let me get this straight they waited a month since the pic change to announce it randomly today on a monday the title is woman's world, it won't be supported by any men other than the gays that already half hate her and unlike cali gurls which was a fun party song this is about empowering women which never charts high so they alienate who the target audience is and then the preview they post to create hype contains some awful cringe lyrics i don't know why i thought they would take their time to prepare a perfect comeback when we find out that a song called Woman's World is produced by dr Puke.... i hate you katy perry

People would say Taylor should be beheaded if this happened at her concert and she didn't stop everything to denounce it. But at the end mother is living in every fanbase head 24/7 she'll always win

You missed "touch me while your bros play Grand Theft Auto"

You are the kind of people who are always saying "grow up Katy Perry" "Evolve Katy Perry" etc. when she used to do the thing that made her unique which was the campy bubbly image sprinkled with some humor, and now she finally seems to be doing different, you want to compare and name drop other artists with similarities and say "give up Katy Perry. Y'all need to make up your damn minds.

No. The article says nothing about her getting permission, just that there's no weirdness between them because of it, they've talked about it, and they love each other.

the confused reaction was because I don't agree and I'm allowed to. Taylor didn't publicly humiliate anyone, you're just taking guesses at things happening backstage as if you were there. Actually, Madonna did indeed publicly humiliate Gaga calling her reductive, since you brought that up.

Thought this was a list of all the TTPD variants at first. Whoops! Congrats queen Angie!

Ppl call swifties crazy for being obsessed with Taylor but what's even more psychotic are the ppl who are obsessed with hating on someone. THOTS are on another level judging by how much they talk about Taylor on ATRL. Deranged behavior.

Whitney did that with only one version during a time where you had to go to the store to buy music. Legendary talented queen
