At least she doesn’t need to worry about carrying narcan for Kelce

She should carry mace for when his CTE rage kicks in. The idiot has scrambled his brain for 20 plus years playing football & it ain’t like he had much native brain power to begin with.

I seriously don’t know what you’re all talking about. This album is filled with musical allusions from 90s grunge to Stevie Wonder to the Ronettes to Bobby Freeman to the obvious George Michael to previous Taylor “eras.” Very few people could integrate so many musical allusions so deftly.

Also she is so prolific, it’s incredible. It is so hard to make anything at all from scratch, and here she is doing it over and over. Nothing but respect here.

That's because she stole a bunch of the songs on this album from other artists.

There is nothing original in these songs. They are not alluding to other songs- they sound like other songs. Whoever mentioned Summertime Sadness above was spot on- Lana deserves royalties because this is a lame pop version of that song.

To go on that podcast and advertise how the album is similar lyrically to folklore & full of bangers, and then to release this… It’s a slap in the face. I’m really disappointed and second-hand embarrassed for her.

Styling and costumes: A++++
Video concept: B-
Taylor's Dancing or even like her basic movement choreography from each set piece to the next: F-

And this is when I realized what a tactical error it was for her to make this album a "showgirl" concept, because it will push her into doing a LOT of choreography to support the concept. Look, Taylor is extremely talented at many things, but you and I and Taylor and anyone with eyes knows she can't dance. Sure, she can look like a showgirl in the costume with the makeup in a still photo because she has the face and the height for it. But put that in motion and it's just cringe cringe cringe please stop.

+1

She cannot dance. And she used to poke fun at that on Shake It Off. But this video is trying too hard and she just has no rhythm at all. And isn’t sexy enough to be a showgirl. Another poster mentioned the Rat Pack- she should have gone with that vibe. Suits, fedoras, etc.

This all day long. There’s nothing original in theft. She’s capable of genuine art. This record is just a lazy money grab and damage control for leaving herself so vulnerable on TTPD which is her greatest album in my opinion. And I am a Taylor fan.

Criticizing Taylor's work is always fair game. That's how art work. It doesn't matter what else you do -- many artists have done a ton of charitable work or are just very exceptionally good people, and they will still get critical reviews (by professional critics and by regular people) because that's the gig. You have the privilege of sharing your artistic work with the world, and letting them receive it as they will.

The random criticism of her relationships or just hating on the way she looks or just vague attacks on her being washed up or middle aged or fake or whatever... some of that is mean girl behavior but it's easy to ignore.

But criticizing her music or her videos or her dancing or the concept of her album? That's always fair game.

Disappointed in this album. She comes off as an insecure mean girl and unconscious racist.

She is petty and the attack on Charli is uncalled for. Actually Romantic would’ve been better if targeted at the haters who obsess about her online.

It’s so random. Charli isn’t even famous. It seems her alleged shit talking got so under her skin because she’s still super obsessed with that gay dork Matty.

It’s basically extortion and bullying because you know she has the most powerful lawyers, execs & PR on her side. She can crush people. Good freaking luck trying to sue her, you know what I mean. Maybe if you’re lucky you’ll get some crumbs in 2035.

Even a short ‘You up’ text at 2am might suffice 🤣

Bwahaha! Imagine having a double album public crash out over Matty Healy…a masterpiece full of poetry..and the best inspo Travis gives her is so Highschool and Wood. Cringe. And she writes the TTPD WHILE she’s dating Travis! He’s such a desperate climbing cuck, the whole situation is actually embarrassing.

To be fair, I’d have a 30 song crash out over MH too if he secretly wrote “About You” and “Falling for you” for me. Not to mention the “Oh Caroline” video and all of the years of back and forth. I’d lose my shit too. I get it, Taylor.

And even that was a bit of a rip-off of Ace of Base's 1998 "Cruel Summer," which was originally by Bananarama in 1983. Pop stars all lose their fast ball in their 30s. She would have been 29 or so when "Cruel Summer" was recorded.

Taylor has zero room to falter on songwriting or music production. I’m not a swiftie nor a hater, but let’s be honest she is vocally weak among her peers. If you are a pop singer with weak vocals you have to put out HITS and there is no room for error music wise. Examples being: Rihanna and prime Britney Spears. I also think the whole thing with the “showgirl” was a mistake. Me being an idiot, I thought she would refer to things historically like Vegas Rat Pack music or something different and jazzy. Taylor seems unwilling to go experimental.

Are you kidding? She literally is a middle aged showgirl. She is not the high school girl she has pretended to be for the 20-something crowd. And yes she would make a $$trillion with a Vegas residency especially considering how desperate some of these casino resorts are getting these days, with all the tourism drying up.

+1. I am intrigued by Matty and how he got Taylor down so bad. I watched a video of Billie Eilish, Sabrina Carpenter and Role Model/Tucker Pillsbury all gushing over him. Apparently Halsey’s song “Colors” and Ariana’s “Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I’m Bored” were written for him.

Don’t think he is gay, too many hot gfs in his past. As for dorky, many singers and theatre kids come across that way. I’ve met Bono, he is kind of dorky. As are Chris Martin, Ed Sheeran, John Mayer. Jack Antonoff has got to be the biggest dork of them all, and he too was in a band (Fun). It’s prob why Taylor who is a dork herself loves to date and collaborate with that type. Nothing against dorks by the way, I respect them big time.
