Lorde maybe??

Well, the numbers show the internet is a very loud minority. Not liking TLOAS is fair but if you go purely by tiktok and twitter discourse you'd think this era was some catastrophic career ending flop when it literally had the biggest opening week for an album in US history, Ophelia also broke the spotify record for the biggest streaming day and week for a song, and a year later it's around 2 BILLION streams and still doing about 5M a day, Opalite I think is also approaching a billion and still doing over 3M daily which is crazy And even now after all the discourse about everyone on the internet hating this era, TLOAS is sitting at roughly 6B spotify streams and pulling huge daily numbers, and now with The Encore the album jumped back to around 37M spotify streams a day, with Patient Zero alone doing close to 10M daily right now So I definitely want TS13 to surprise us creatively, and I'd absolutely looove another album that feels like an undeniable artistic statement but I don't think she needs to make an album specifically to win over snarkers or save herself from backlash because she's at a point where she will inevitably always get backlash because it makes the snarkers a lot of easy money. Not to sound pessimistic) but the hate it's only going to get worse, but also, her audience somehow also gets bigger and bigger. I'm sure she'll tour again and that will also bring her numbers up and help TS13 and most likely make the gp see TLOAS with a new perspective once she performs the songs.

A 39 on Metacritic is actually insane lol. At this point it's really hard for me to believe there isn't some kind of very obvious organized hate campaign happening around Taylor. And before anyone starts, no, I'm not saying every critic has to like the album. Obviously people are allowed to dislike it. But there's a huge difference between not liking something and this constant need to absolutely destroy her every single time she releases anything. Taylor is held to standards that are beyond absurd. She can never just make a fun pop album and enjoy making music, everything has to be groundbreaking, career defining, culturally important, lyrically perfect, completely different from anything she's ever done, but also somehow still sound exactly like what people already liked from her?? And if she doesn't do all of that at once, suddenly she's lost it or the album is some massive failure 😂it feels way too coordinated sometimes, especially when hating Taylor gets these outlets endless clicks, engagement and attention. The funniest part though is they have to be scrambling watching how little these scores actually matter in the real world💀 like they can give her a 39, write 500 articles about how awful the album supposedly is and yet people are still streaming it like crazy and she keeps breaking records, like clearly people are enjoying the music lol People have been predicting her downfall for YEARS and somehow she just keeps getting bigger.

Those are not facts. That's YOUR opinion.

And now she's not miserable and found what she's been dreaming and wanting her entire life?? Some of you hate that she's finally happy and doesn't depend emotionally on ya'll and it shows

I remember how awesome it felt literally running straight to atrl whenever Taylor dropped something new and actually being excited to discuss the music with everyone, like you'd listen, freak out over certain lyrics or production choices, argue about favorites, change your ranking ten times in the same day… it was just fun... Now it feels almost impossible to have that kind of conversation because every release immediately gets flooded with people desperately trying to be Pitchfork critics, acting like their personal opinion is somehow an objective assessment of her artistry. Yeah of course people can dislike the songs and nobody is saying everyone has to love everything she releases, but there's such a huge difference between saying "oh yeah this isn't for me" and acting like "oh no these songs are objectively bad" "she needs to take a break" "she's lost it" "as a swiftie i'm growing out of her" etc etc etc....Like… no...YOU don't like them, but your personal reaction is not some definitive statement about the quality of the music???? Meanwhile, I genuinely think these songs are great, and more importantly, they fit so naturally into the TLOAS world. They don't feel random or disconnected from the album at all. If anything, hearing them makes the whole era feel even bigger and more complete to me. They have that same theatrical, colorful, exaggerated energy that makes TLOAS so fun.

She clearly meant this because of Midnights 3am version and TTPD The Anthology

Nah I remember the comments

Well she did something cool and original for TLOAS and people complained so

Some of these reactions are so funny like at some point you have to realize celebrities do not owe you anything. It's not Miley's fault people are broke, in debt or can't afford to see her she's not mommy & daddy and she's not responsible for making sure everyone gets access to her just because people are fans. She found what works for her and clearly has zero interest in forcing herself to tour just because people think she should, so maybe instead of being mad that she figured out how she wants to live her life, people should go figure out what makes them happy in theirs

Miley is honestly such a genius when it comes to music, she's ridiculously versatile, and one thing I've always loved about her is how much she actually feels the music. She's never afraid to experiment or completely commit to whatever sound she wants to explore. My only real complaint is that I wish it were longer but that's just a personal observation. It's easily one of her best albums for me, maybe tied with Plastic Hearts for me. She keeps proving that she really can do whatever she wants musically.

I swear the world is experiencing mass psychosis

we can't help being the most fun base

I've been awakened from my slumber

Brazilian fans are just something else, they go hard for their faves

I can't believe my city is finally included in something wow

I think the bigger issue is that some fans are still judging Miley's career by a version of success that she may not even be interested in anymore. There's this assumption that she should be chasing bigger rollouts, more visibility, more chart domination and a constant presence in pop culture, but I'm not convinced that's what she wants for herself. She seems to have found a balance that works for her. She can still create, release music and have major moments without having to make her entire life part of the machine. And considering how long she's been famous, it makes sense that protecting her peace and having a real private life would matter more to her now than being everywhere all the time. Like it just seems that her fans sometimes attach their own sense of validation to an artist's commercial performance... They want the huge numbers, the massive era, the awards, the nonstop attention blah blah blah because it confirms something to them about how important or successful their favorite artist is, which is the complete opposite of who she is. Miley really doesn't need that kind of validation anymore. Her career, influence and longevity are already established. At this point, I think accepting the career she actually wants is more important than constantly wishing she would pursue the career fans imagine she could have.

I don't care about the GP, the song is amazing and it's been on repeat since release. Some people lack taste

Love that for them let the hates seethe. People are just mad nothing has leaked about the wedding. Glad they had this moment for them away from paparazzis and the media.

everything i've read or heard about this woman has been against my will

This year truly came to destroy us all huh 💔😢

Primary Wave doesn't have access to her social media they even need her permission to use images of her for marketing purposes.

You watched friends and family die from addiction and somehow the lesson you took from it was to become less compassionate? That's bleak. Your personal experience doesn't make you an addiction expert, and "the ones I liked survived because of tough love, while the others died because they were coddled" is a story you've invented to make an ugly opinion sound informed and to make your soulless self sound sympathetic. You're deeply ignorant and completely void of humanity.
