99% of all music is about romantic love /relationships/sex
She writes somewhat about specifics, but she blows up those little scenarios and makes them universal.
I’m 46, but when I hear a song about young people’s problems I relate to it.
I was young once too. I remember that feeling.
I have never thought her lyrics were meant to stand up in a court of law. She’s never been under oath.
It’s all pieces and parcels of the truth smudged around to create something else.
And I’ve always found it relatable.
But I’m an umc white lady.
And the middle aged dude from the Post just couldn’t relate at all. He’s never felt like that. Taylor has really illuminated how irritated men get, when their perspective isn’t the default.

Exactly. And for that matter, middle aged and older women who are angry she writes about herself , fame, and relationships- What do they think she should write about? Quick healthy dinners for kids? Carpooling? Small home repairs? How to maximize PTO? What jeans to buy when you know skinny jeans are uncool but refuse to wear wide leg jeans? Be so for real.

I can't stop laughing at this - so perfect

Laugh away- Some of favorite bands did this though. They wrote kids songs/music during their having kids stage. It was better than kids bop and the mindless kids bands.

I think PP was saying your post was spot on, not that she’s laughing at you

I loved some of these albums years ago. And I could listen to them today and enjoy.

I'm an old school fan and will force myself to love this album. But I was secretly hoping for more distinctive hits that you want to dance to

Ok I'm the OP. Some time has allowed me to fall in love with some songs.
For the record, I'm a 1989/Rep loving Swiftie (in that I reliably go back to those albums the most).

So Long, London (woah. I mean... it's beautiful)
But Daddy I love him (feels like old Taylor and I love.)
My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys (really intriguing. love.)
I can do it with a broken heart (the banger that I needed).

Fellow 1989 loving Swifties, what songs do you love that I need to listen to 5x more to become obsessed?

PP here. Shoot, I meant to write "PP". I'm not the OP of the thread. Sorry!

I think so weird how people are like I can’t relate to what she’s singing about, why is she still singing about Break ups and falling in love? Those times are so fleeting in our lives that sometimes a good song like that reminds you what it’s like to be “Down Bad” and bring back those feelings of nostalgia. If not that we relate to it now, but it brings up old feelings and that’s not necessarily a bad thing!

I’d add So high school to that list. And maybe black dog.

Those times are clearly not fleeting in Taylor’s life. They have been a constant since she was a teen.

If people acted normal about Taylor, none of this would be a topic. It’s the crazy obsession that is bizarre. It’s the death threats and threats of violence sent to article writer who critique her. It’s the hyperventilating and crying over seeing a glimpse of her. It’s the insane amounts of money people pay and debt they will go into just to see a show. It isn’t healthy. It’s adults obsessed with a singer to the point that they lose all rational thought.

There are many worst things To be addicted to. I will take a Taylor Swift addicted America over alternatives.

My fav albums are Reputation and Evermore and I really love Fortnite. The part at the end when Posty comes in is SO GOOD. Move to Floridaaaaa buy the carrrr you wannnnnt has been in my head all weekend.

But Daddy I Love Him is a new top 5 Taylor song of all time for me. I love it so much.

I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can) really grew on me after a couple listens

So Long London is so beautiful but almost too painful to listen to too much

I think The Black Dog might be one of her best songs ever.

I really love Clara Bow too!! Honestly it such a solid album. I love it more with each listen.

I Can Do It With a Broken Heart is going to become a quintessential Taylor classic like Shake It Off, mark my words.

I agree. Taylor herself is/was a functional alcoholic if you take that song seriously.

Really? No “Bad Down”?
That was an instant fav for me. But I like aliens too, so maybe it’s a me thing 😄

I could not disagree more. You could be addicted to exercise (ie train for the Iron Man). Or in the case of Taylor’s target audience, you could be addicted to doing your homework and achieving. You could be addicted to cleaning or cooking or reading or knitting or playing the piano or swimming or basketball. I can think of a million better addictions than obsessing over Taylor Swift.

Being fascinated with such a mediocre talent is precisely what is ruining America.
