Honolulu is honestly perfect. The weather is always very warm but never really too hot. There's lovely breeze and the air is fresh: it's in the middle of nowhere without heavy industries. The food is some of the best in the world, especially if you like Asian food, and fruits are also next level. The pace of life is much slower, and the people are really nice. I'd live there in a heartbeat.

Britney flop. Xtina smash

Her best songs/best writing/best production is on that album. It suffers from some questionable songs like Stay Stay Stay, but overall it's really good. That was certainly her creative peak. Folklore is great because it avoided her usual lyrical blunders, but Red's highs and production clear it.

The entirety of TLOAS. 90% of TTPD. Half of Midnights. 80% of Lover. 70% of Reputation. And like 20 to 50% of all her other albums.

Getting Taylor to the level of fame that she's at is honestly a crime against humanity.

Stevie Nicks subtly trying to direct her to the right key with her head nods, but helplessly failing...

Yea... this aged like milk. The 1-6 punch is still amazing, but starting from track 7 it falls off a cliff and never recovers.

Swifties have no standards and buy everything she puts out, she has no reasons to try anymore, let alone work on improving anything. They get what they deserve

Tate. Taylor's only talent is charting

Mid 00s (~2003 to ~2008) were a very special time in the music industry. Physical album sales were on a very rapid collapse from their turn of the century peak thanks to pirating. Physical single sales were largely nonexistent at the time. Digital song sales were still in their infancy and only picked up towards the end of the decade. Obviously streaming wasn't a thing yet either. I feel like an entire generation of artists who peaked during that period ended up with much lower album sales than what they would have gotten and with almost no song sales to compensate (SEA). So they often end up lower on all time lists because they don't have as much to show on paper despite being so huge and dominant during their times. Who do you feel got affected the most by this transitional period?

The worst bridge of all time (until Cleveland comes on)

70 during peak poptimism is like 50 during normal times

If she dropped it summer 2020 we could have Madonnamania instead of Talentlesshackmania
