  1. Maybe a Rihanna comeback with a huge tour and a great album?

    In my opinion, if the song "TTPD" had featured production similar to "State of Grace" or even Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time," it would have become a future classic like GAS?

    It's an excellent song and the lyrics are very intelligent and ironic. The lines of Charlie Puth, Dylan Thomas and Patty Smith and 7 bars of chocolate are just rhetorical devices that go a long way toward explaining the superficial small talk she used to make with Matty
  4. The Emancipation of Mimi, Confessions on a Dancefloor, Oops!... I Did It Again, Good Girl Gone Bad, Let Go and Under My Skin, Laundry Service, Dangerously in Love, The Fame, Fearless, One of The Boys

    The most underrated track on TTPD It could be easily be a brodway classic or a smash soundtrack from a great romantic movie

    I love this opinion🫶🏻

    I completely agree on this point; I think the phenomenon of female pop artists writing songs about their personal lives and having the courage to pen lyrics that are raw and pointed is something unprecedented prior to Taylor Swift. She literally shifted the paradigm, shattered stereotypes, and broke down the music industry's barriers

    I think Gaga along with Taylor can be considered the only artist to have had an impact on other pop stars' careers comparable to Madonna's in the 80s. We can see how pop stars' aesthetics, music videos, and sound shifted after Lady Gaga's The Fame, and we can observe changes in songwriting specifically regarding the importance of storytelling, personal writing, and the management of a major pop era following RED and 1989.

    Not the kind of IMPACT we wanted

    I think that releasing Debut with plenty of new tracks plus the success of IKYIKIand TS13 as a country album will allow her to win back large segments of the American audience; and if TS14 is a rock album, she'll likely be able to unite pop , folk and country fans, who generally tend to love rock music as well.
  11. Copines by queen Aya wins easy
  12. So Happy for Ari, she deserves her success for her hard work
  13. Even assuming what you say is true, what does that have to do with the thread? California Gurls perfectly embodies the sunny California girl narrative typical of Katy's imperial phase, just as Blank Space perfectly captures the media-focused narrative and the image of the gossip-magnet girl surrounding post-RED Taylor. It makes no difference who might have actually written them; they released the songs, and the world and the general public associates them with the artists and their respective narratives.
  14. Blank Space for Taylor California Gurls for Katy Bad Romance for Gaga
  15. Wow, I thought it was pretty easy to understand that salty air is the sea breeze or wind meeting the waves of a rough sea

    I was reflecting on the fact that Ariana, much like Taylor, released an album featuring vulnerable lyrics where she lays bare all her insecurities and inner darkness, eschewing over-the-top production. Up until 2023, this kind of move would have been highly acclaimed by critics, yet now Ariana has been panned, just as Taylor was with TTPD. It makes me wonder if people online,especially those obsessed with comparisons, have convinced these online publications (particularly P****fork that they hold more sway than they actually do, effectively making it fashionable again to hate on major pop stars. Honestly, if Taylor were to release Folklore or RED in today's climate, they'd likely get a score of 75 at best, with various outlets ready to tear them apart
  17. This whole "longevity" thing is total bullshit that started with streaming, who could have ever tracked an individual's consumption habits in the era of physical sales? Just because a song was a huge hit but didn't rack up over a million streams on its 476th day doesn't mean it wasn't a smash hit
  18. As a swiftie i don't understand the katycats obession with Gaga. Lady Gaga is a successful artist with sold out tours, #1 albums and many #1 hits while katy is fighting for her life
  19. His attempt to be authentic turned out to be the most manufactured thing I've ever seen, thinking you're a non-conformist and resting on that makes you the most conformist person in the world and the ridiculous thing is, he doesn't even realize it. This is what it means to be on stage free from one's persona and stripped of the stereotypes others impose on us. This is how an artist lays themselves bare, artistically speaking:
  20. Taylor and Gaga are, in different ways, very different from other popstar
  21. Sweeftie13 replied to Achilles.'s topic in Base
    Now imagine Taylor on a song like perfect celebrity
  22. The excuse of "SOLO" hit
  23. Would've could've should've is the closest thing to that
  24. She has entered in the typical moment after a huge commercial peak, she's like in a new Reputation/Lover position. But if she will release another great album ala RED/1989/Folklore/Evermore she will back at her position before Eras Tour
  25. Showgirl album covers were screaming "dance pop/elettropop album telling about the dark side of being a popstar" and ended up as Lover 2.0 but without the Highs of Lover (excluding Ophelia and Father Figure) Midnights actually matches sound and aesthetic cause dear reader, anti-hero, maroon, midnight rain, would've could've should've, bigger than whole sky and sweet nothing are very related to official images. Folklore, TTPD and Evermore just perfect
