Taylor's Swift's new album - let's GOOOOO

[Anonymous]

The hate on this thread is creepy. Are you adults posting this stuff? I feel like I stumbled down into the incel corner of the Internet and I don’t like it.

Anyway, I’m not a huge fan of the album though fate of Ophelia is a banger. It is doing insanely well. I did not realize because I’ve seen a lot of criticism online, but it’s already sold millions of copies, which is kind of unheard of in this day and age and it’s going to hit in the tens of billions of streams any day now if it’s not there already.

If her goal is to make more money, she’s done that big time.

Did not like. Glad I did not purchase; went to a listening party.

At least no children are being abused with her arrested development. No comparison whatsoever.

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.

DP. I thought I was the only one who noticed the latter but a lot of people on Reddit and X said the same thing. I think it’s probably normal for her to feel a bit insecure when her fiancé has ever only been publicly linked to black women. The savage reference is particularly weird because Megan Thee stallion allegedly rejected him.

People on reddit and Twitter always think everything is racist. There's a line about an onyx sky or something and they think it's racist against his ex.

She’s dated a lot of men rumored to be gay

Isn't she rumored to be gay? A lot of blinds about it.

Love the costumes. Video may help the song grow in me a bit.

I love all the costumes except that red one, because it makes her look like she has a completely flat ass. She may, indeed, have a completely flat ass, but there are cut and contour options with costuming that can hide/adjust this, and that red thing, while she's walking away from the camera, failed its job spectacularly.

Not mad at her, I'm mad at the costume.

I love how many people are like "Isn't she gay?" and/or "Isn't he gay?" like bisexual people just don't exist where you are...

Virtually all of the hateful comments are from one prolific poster. She is here all day, every day, posting about Taylor Swift.

I'd rather know how many unique copes she sold of her album. Some swifties bought six or eight copies of the same album due to the different versions.

NP and I loved the Busby Berkeley-esque scene and its costumes. Agree about the red costume…just why?

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.

Was this written by a bot? You think that “Cruel Summer” by Taylor Swift is a ripoff of Ace of Base’s cover of the Bananarama song?

I think that's a big part of the problem people have. The whole album and surrounding merch is such a blatant money grab. Yes, I know she's an icon and works hard, but her whole brand was always about fan appreciation. Releasing so many versions of her new songs and marketing of it all, seems like an FU to fans and its only message is buy buy buy

As a mother who has bought a lot of previous versions of Taylor merch, several sweaters and sweatshirts, I don't know how many movie tickets, Eras tour tickets priced via dynamic pricing, and many other "things" I feel pretty confident that this is par for the course. Very on brand.
