Otherwise, why on earth would she be bragging about her boyfriend’s manhood in her lyrics? Nobody cares about it apart from an insecure ex. It did backfire though. This album makes Taylor sound insufferable, juvenile and arrogant. And the fact that she either misinterpreted or misrepresented what Charlie’s song was about makes the fans question everything we know from only her perspective. Who knows how unfairly she has represented her issues with Jake Gyllenhaal, Joe, Matty etc.
This sounds like some major overthinking.
Eh it kind of makes sense. Taylor is obsessed with winning.

Bottom line, she's old, washed up and cringe. Only reason her handlers were able to extend her fame into her late 30s is with that complete hoax about "Taylor's version." What is Taylor's version? Those are called greatest hits for washed up artists. Instead her team repackaged her greatest hits with this phony con all of her fanatics bought hook, line, and sinker. If you think ruthless record labels would let artists re-record their old hit songs to steal the master's you are hopelessly gullible. Her fans still believe that nonsense after being duped out of $$$$$.

It's so funny how you keep coming back to make the same ridiculous claim over and over. She really lives in your mind rent-free, doesn't she?
What is up with the attempts at controlling/ridiculing others thoughts? Or deleting posts you don’t like? Get a grip even Taylor says anytime you say her name, she gets money.
No one is trying to control your thoughts - but when you make false claims, you're going to be called out on them. You keep insisting this album is a "flop," when all reports simply say reception has been mixed. Commercially, anyway, it's been an enormous success.

Those are my favorites too. But I’m old enough to remember that when new albums were released, 1-2 great songs was all we expected. We almost never liked or listened to the other songs. We couldn’t even name them. So it’s impossible for me to be disappointed about that.
Very true. I remember back in the dark ages, joining the Columbia Record Club (or whatever it was called) to buy CDs. It was always painful buying an entire CD when I knew there would only be one or two songs on each that I liked. At least with streaming, you can just play the songs you like and ignore the rest. My favorites are Fate of Ophelia, Life of a Showgirl, Eldest Daughter, Wi$h Li$t, Ruin the Friendship, Opalite, and Honey. Hate the others.
Haha, oh, the 10 for $1 to start! I remember! And we thought CDs were great because we could press a button to skip instead of fast forward a tape.
+1
And then when the five-CD changer came out... life changing! It's pretty amazing how we now have all the music we could ever want at our fingertips.

In the dark ages and then you give a CD example? What about even further back with "the B side" meant something? The B side had all the crap songs. Easily half the album was crap.
Are you ok?

I don't know about this. When you liked the artist you listened to the whole tape (ha ha) and ended up liking much of it even if onely 2 singles got radio play. And for Taylor's past music, this was true. I've done my time with this one, and there just isn't much there beyond Fate of Ophelia. I think both her and Matty were broken by the loss of each other as a muse and object of longing. He's not able to produce anything at all, and her production has the depth and heart of a fingernail.
