I saw she named her album after her ex boyfriend’s group chat with his friends.
Then I saw the track titles and was thinking, “yuck.” Looks like the Joe Breakup Album is here. I’m not looking forward to it. |
| Then don't....buy it....listen to it? So fragile, you are. |
| Another Taylor thread? Why does she take up so much space in your head and on this board? Are you the same person in the other hate thread who went on and on about how you deserve your own space/echo chamber to vent about her without her fans butting in? |
| How do you know what her boyfriends group chat was called? |
Read the news. He talked about it in an interview. I'm STOKED for this album. Especially track 5. |
His group chat was the tortured men’s club, lol. Her album is the tortured poets club. |
Tortured poets department, not club. Apparently Taylor's album is more of a required course and Joes group chat is more of an extracurricular. The track list makes me tired, honestly. Her releasing it a year to the day after [totally unsubstantiated, probably false] cheating rumors about Joe started circulating, leading to a bunch of Swifties torturing the poor girl Joe was filming with in Hungary at the time (he and Taylor were already broken up when people started saying he must of cheated on her with is actress, which makes NO sense). Choosing that timing does not feel like a coincidence, especially given the album title and track list. She seems like a spiteful, mean little person. She's very publicly been linked to two guys since she and Alwyn split, and he hasn't been romantically linked to anyone (again, fans just decided he was dating his costar based on nothing). He is minding his own business, she is making drama. What a messy ______. I don't even like Joe Alwyn. I didn't make it past 2 episodes of Conversations with Friends, it was so boring. But he doesn't seem like a villain worth torturing. |
| She’s an artist and this is her work. I kind of want to separate that for a minute. Are we saying that happy artists can’t make tragic art? |
Is childish tragic? This is some rich girl who never had anything hard happen singing about boyfriend troubles... |
That’s way too much. Step away. |
Do you think maybe she had a different relationship to him and knew him better than watching 1.5 episodes of a tv show? |
| Given how much money T Swift makes off of singing about her ex-boyfriends… why on earth would she stop? Clearly she enjoys making this music, her fan base loves buying it, where is the issue? If you personally don’t want to listen, no one is forcing you to do so. |
| I don’t get why anyone dates her knowing they’ll just be fodder for her next album. I also think it’s embarrassing to keep singing about every ex of yours when you’re in your 30s |
What’s wrong with that? Serious question. How do you decide something is worthy of a song or not? She has experiences and feelings pretty typical of being a woman, and often turns those into songs. People relate to that and enjoy it. And it’s honestly not any deeper than that. I’m not a diehard Swiftie by any means. I’m only ever ride or die for Janet Jackson. But this is something about Taylor I can appreciate. Music does not have to be tragic or majestic or anything grand. It can be as simple as “I had a fight with my boyfriend and I want to sing about it.” Those feelings, however small or childish to you, are valid. It may not feel tragic to you, but it doesn’t have to. |
| I think she knows how to pull a plot twist and this music will not be what we expect. And also even if it is petty or complaining about an ex, we will know every word like how we all know “Once the flight has flown…” |
