[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are some of you perhaps reading too much into the songs?  There's no rule that says every song is a gospel retelling of a specific relationship. [/quote]

Yes but they will read between every line to try to put her down.

It’s weird.

People did that Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears when they were at the top of their game.

People love to be haters.[/quote]

The haters seem keenly aware of her lyrics, relationships, age, and other facts about her. It's a bit odd to be so invested in something that's not their cup of tea. Supposedly.[/quote]

That’s because we’re not haters. We like(d) her music enough and own some of it, but also think the themes and slander of her recent exes on each album is juvenile and has gotten old. It’s like a comedian telling the same joke for 20 years - there’s no range.[/quote]

I guess you're no longer the target demographic. She's got a fan base and some stick with her, some move on, and some girls may be aging into the angst as tweens who haven't been following her for 18 years. Maybe the music is just not for you anymore.[/quote]

Yes, I think that’s fair. I just find it interesting that neither Taylor nor her music have really evolved, especially when her whole thing is writing songs like a diary. She definitely has a market and she’s a phenomenon, but I don’t know- I’m her age and I compare her to someone like Billy Joel, who has albums and albums of diverse songs and themes, and I’m just kind of “meh” about TS now. I liked her early stuff but yes, it seems ive outgrown her music, which to me, has gotten stale - and also kind of sad to be trashing your exes so publicly. [/quote]

And just to add, is that even in her best business interest? What happens if she falls in love and stays in another long term relationship? What if she gets married? Will she write songs if she’s in a stable relationship? Or just perform old ones? Obviously she never has to worry about money, but I assume she’s like being at the top of her game, and if that is dependent upon heartbreak material, she’ll have to go from relationship to relationship forever, pretending she’s shocked and devestating when it ends. [/quote]

Considering so many of her songs are based on stories and not her real life, which she has been honest about, I don’t think that is a concern. She’s done a really good job of taking inspiration from other things. She’s talked about how a lot of her songs on her pandemic albums were inspired by old movies she watched in lockdown. [/quote]

I am sure some of this is true. But also some of it probably isn't. Can she admit, I burned for this other man while I was with Joe for 6 years (and before, and after) and wrote dozens of songs about him in code? Good girl, role model Taylor?  I used to think that she would never, but then TTPD came out, and now I am actually in awe of her bravery, her grand gesture in the name of love, and her IDGAF attitude. Because she loved Matty Healy, thinks he is worthy and wants the world to know. But why risk it now if she is truly over him? Because I don't think she is.

It isn’t bravery. Just a narcissistic attitude that comes from the self centered lives of those who are rich and famous. Look at Ariana. She also had a do anything for love, IDGaF
Attitude. It isn’t bravery cheating on  your husband with another married man. Nor is singing about it. It isn’t risky for these ladies. People support them no matter what they do.[/quote]

This is The Tortured Poets Department, not the Long Suffering Propriety Department ;0[/quote]
