[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is Taylor the emperor and some of her fans refuse to admit she's naked?[/quote]

No.  She's good.  And her fans love her.  Every artist has a "less good" album now and then.  The thing is, what she's exceptional at is not just song writing it's creating a para-social connection with fans, marketing, and consistency.  She doesn't disappear for a decade like some artists and then expect to return to the same adoring horde they had before going off into the woods or whatever.

Taylor's good.  She's got this.  She doesn't need to try to be anything she's not.  She proved that with the Eras tour.  [/quote]

I am a longtime Taylor skeptic and I agree with this. This will become the weird, mediocre album she produced right after eras and before her first marriage. It will be largely forgotten except as a trivia question ("n what album did Taylor Swift release a "dis track" against fellow pop star and rival Charli XCX?" or "the infamous legal battle between actress Blake Lively and actor/director Jason Baldoni spawned a pop song about being "cancelled" as the kids used to say -- who wrote that song?"). But she's too talented and ambitious for this to be it, she'll come back with something great and surprising, like when she released Folklore/evermore or when she launched Eras, and people will move on. This really doesn't undermine her legacy in any way. She's too prolific for that.

Bob Dylan release some real stinker albums. So did Madonna and Bruce Springsteen. They are still music royalty and Taylor belongs among them even if this album kind of sucks.[/quote]

I like this album more than TTPD, personally. There's an album for everyone. [/quote]

Do you like it more than 1989? Because I think that album did what this one does but better and in a more cohesive way.[/quote]
