Cruel Summer

The way that for the most random things on earth she cal pull out a look that's such an effortless gag

the TikTok gossip slop conspiracy theories, people want Taylor Swift to be a cheap caricature of a comic book villain so bad

Do you ask this question (in multiple threads, no less) of every pop star who releases a physical product or

This has been a known risk of this entire class of drugs since early on, and it's the main reason why I'd never touch any of them despite the potential benefits even beyond weight loss. It's just not really worth that specific risk - if it happens to you, the damage is almost always completely irreversible and can quickly lead to complete vision loss. Even people who recover some vision only recover a small portion of what they lost. Given that this was a known side effect I'm curious whether those affected have a strong case or not - but I feel that they should, because I'm certain that providers haven't been clear enough about how this can happen. For those who are expressing doubt based on your personal anecdotes or preexisting knowledge: https://www.aao.org/education/editors-choice/consensus-statement-shows-possible-small-associati More research needs to be done on the how and the why, but studies have been done on this and it seems like the increased risk is a real phenomenon, and isn't limited to those with preexisting diabetes. This isn't just people looking to cash a check, even if a causal mechanism is ultimately established that isn't solely the drug itself.

They give the vibe that they're trying to be edgy and snarky to regain some of the credibility and clout they lost - and I guess it works on some people. I don't think Pitchfork as a collective really believes in basically anything.

"This sounds awful" and it's a muffled movie trailer'd edit where you can't tell **** about the actual song, y'all are incapable of being serious about this woman

"Nobody cares anymore" when Taylor Swift breaks records and the biggest debut in US history was a "non-event" yet every time she so much as visibly breathes this site goes into weeks of mass psychosis

185k, take it or leave it

When it's a secret triple album and The Next Morning is still on the way

Unless you have some substantial receipts that this is some widely held belief among Taylor fans, I really don't believe that literally any person who knows anything about culture or American music charts has ever claimed this.

On album charts like the Billboard 200, they will almost certainly be combined in basically every market, yes.

Ruin The Friendship (serving Red realness, love it, love her forever) Opalite (sounds the closest to being a new spin on classic Taylor lyricism and melodies, not perfect due to the "ah ah ah!" bit making it sound like some kind of Christmas carol but very good overall with excellent verses) The Fate of Ophelia (bop, smash for a reason, eminently catchy) The Life of a Showgirl (I don't get why this one doesn't get more praise and I think the drags about the opening lyrics are genuinely some of the dumbest things I've ever read; this has strong melodies and lyrics and uses its feature exceptionally well, Sabrina is perfect here) Wood (I don't care if some of the lyrics are cringe, the melodies and production are excellent and fun, and some of the other lyrics are actually incredible) Honey (overall good, catchy, and lyrically decent, but something feels just a little over-processed in the production - that's not enough to make it bad, but I'd say this is where the album falls below her discography average) Father Figure (some how this gives me Lover era meets Karma but like in a way that works, idk, it's fine) Actually Romantic (gets a few points for actually having attitude and balls in a way that doesn't seem as guarded as usual, but simply isn't my style of music, though I like the melodies; makes me feel weird because it's directed at another of my favorite artists ever lmao) Wi$h Li$t (not much to say; I honestly think it's relatively innocuous, but would be far below average on any other album she's ever made. Would be #2 if it were the acoustic version, though!) CANCELLED! (basically just Reputation but if it were kind of annoying) Eldest Daughter (saved from the pits of hell by the excellent bridge; most of the issues here are the lyrics, too, and the production is actually fine) Elizabeth Taylor (just does not click for me and I don't have a really good explanation, but I think it's something about the Old Hollywood cinematic vibe just not doing it for me; don't love the production approach here)

I really don't get why some of you are attempting to suggest it's somehow a bad look of her to celebrate the biggest debut US music history by giving the fans a few new songs, like Have you not, like, achieved something in your life ever, or…?

Kinda hoping now that the IKIIKY shenanigans during its chart run were only a small test run preview of the taytactics she plans to employ for this single

Just did a little research on this and found out that including all different kinds of reissues, 1989 currently has the most Hot 100 top ten hits with 12 - so if she manages this then she'd take the record from herself For top five hits, it looks like Teenage Dream holds that record currently with 8 including singles from reissues, while Janet still holds the single-release record with 7.
