I'm so confused… Why would she do this? Who asked for this? Why put emphasis on the most critically panned album of her career rather than release the tracks as a seperate EP? So many questions… It's almost a same kind of situation if Katy Perry would choose to reissue 143 now.

The fact that Taylor is releasing deluxe tracks of her most critically panned album a year after its release raises the question again. Is her judgement starting to fail just like Katy's did before the start of her downfall?

The covers look AI generated, especially the acoustic one

Diver and Hold Me to the Light just hit me This album just keeps and keeps on giving.

Burning Heart

nobody would care

This grew on me a lot! Never Over and Foreverness are bops!

Jealousy is the standout here

I hope she wont even get nominated. She needs another wake-up call like she got when reputation wasn't nominated. She really needs to snap out of the headspace that made her create Showgirl and on top of that, decide to release it.

The only song of hers that is deserving to go viral is Peacock

Katy's back catalogue has basically become her most reliable way of getting back into the conversation. A random resurgence of The One That Got Away or Harleys in Hawaii can remind people that Katy Perry used to be a huge pop star, without requiring her to release anything new. But how long can that realistically work? At some point you've already gone through the obvious choices… and then what? Most of the catalogue after Prism isn't exactly overflowing with songs the GP is desperately waiting to rediscover. There are exceptions, but we're eventually getting into that Witness, Smile and 143 territory, and I'm not sure there's much left there that the GP is actually nostalgic for. So can nostalgia actually keep Katy's career afloat indefinitely, or is there a point where even the back catalogue runs out of lifelines? How many more times can old Katy keep saving new Katy?

nobody cares, that's why. It says "for the fans" on the movie poster, but how many of those she has anymore..? Not even enough to fill movie theatres apparently. she's done for good!

The chorus is… well a bit annoying. My least favourite of the songs released so far.
