I almost finished the album yesterday. Busy set of days.
My take is that 2-3+ songs stand out. 2 solid. A third sure, and a fourth. A fifth I can think of. Maybe more depending on mood, etc.

She he earned the right to make any album. When you’re that rich and famous, you can just make *what you like.*

The song about “I’m not a bad b****” is saying repeatedly, she knows she’s not cool, she doesn’t have to pretend to be “savage” or “fire” anymore. She’s a sweet and goofy person on the inside, and as a star, you have a public persona and then the way people really know you.

This album is her being free, completely. I’m not saying she wasn’t free before. She’s just also free AND happy now. (Compare to Midnights, Folklore, where she was being herself but a little sad)

6-7 of the 12 songs are about travis. And he is not not a good muse. Boring AF as a muse.

Fate of ophelia is decent. Actually romantic will be in 1000 tik tok videos and has cultual.staying power that way.

I dont get tge hate though. Its a mid album but not trash. Methinks she lost some of her ambition.


The other possibilty is sge is she is respomding to the online world - you want to speculate on my sex life with travis - here is the worst sex song ever!

Here is a song about sincerity vs online memes, but im gonna rick roll you in it.

All your posting crap abput me just makes me wet.

^ and I like those narcotics

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.

Yeah, I mean it’s her 12th album. I personally think it’s going to grow on me in the coming days, but if it doesn’t do as well… I mean, she has nothing to prove at this point.

And I do like how she changes up both her music and just whole vibe. she went for years not promoting albums in the traditional way (don’t come at me, I know she markets all her albums, I’m just talking about she doesn’t use the traditional venues like talk shows). And now she seems more settled and happy and wants to come out and do more interviews and traditional media which I’m digging.

I truly think Travis is going to retire after this season and she’s already said she’s not touring the album. I think for those who hate her, you are going enter a time when you really don’t hear from her for a couple of years. I think this is sort of the last hurrah for her and she’s going out on her own terms.

(I do think she’ll put out more music and tour in the coming years, I just think she knows it will never be like the lightning in the bottle Eras time again).

She puts in narcotics in all of her songs.

Kids aren't checking for her like that. Swift's core fan base is 43 year old wine moms and spinsters.

Um, do you just post to post with no credibility to your statements, often? Her tour was filled with young girls and teenagers.

Do the wine moms (alleged fan base noted in an earlier post) want their young girls listening to a song that talks about what helped to open her thighs?

Gimmie a break, I was listening to Tori “so you can make me cum that doesn’t make you Jesus” and “boy you best pray that I bleed real soon” and Hole and Snoop at my daughter’s age.

Alanis was going down on some dude in a theater in my youth. It was fine.

That song is why I give the best blowjobs today. Inspiring.

"Wood" by TS lacks nuance, and the "key to my thighs" lyric is cheesy along with referring to her fiance's pe-is as "hardwood" "magic wand" or "redwood" or whatever she said. Just ew. Not sexy at all.

The redwood line (and maybe entire song) is a callback to a viral tweet (2020ish) making fun of Taylor. Basically saying how Ariana can write sexy songs but when Taylor tries it’s like “he stuck his long wood into my redwood forest and let his sap ferment my roots.” She’s in on the joke.

Except it wasn’t a joke. The tweet said that Taylor can’t write sexy songs and that’s true. This song is crap and shouldn’t have been written. It’s not sexy, funny, or even listenable.

Give Taylor a break. She’s never had sex so how could she write a sexy song? If all you can do is imagine, you’ll come up with pathetic shit like “magic wand.”

Maybe this is sarcastic? But if not, what a truly strange take.

No, I get it. She writes like an 11 year old would write.

What she’s proved is that people love her for her, not for her music.

So you'd rather her be miserable? Weird take.

Be real. She wasn’t miserable. She was inspired.

My kid specifically mentioned that "wood" was cringy. And that the Charlie XCX diss track was beneath Taylor.

+1. This is why she should stick to writing about what she knows.
