Please stfu

Opalite lyrics sounds like she's anti-black people. The onyx nights giving way to opalite. Travis had black girlfriends and now is with a white girl (after trying to snag a black star, Meghan The Stallion). That's how it reads to me.

Not a fan of this MAGA album.

I totally agree.

Mere-exposure effect. Taylor fans this is why her songs have to “grow” on you. They aren’t that good, you just become acclimated to them and you put in the time to listen to them until you like them because you are branded.

“Most of the time, we are not even aware of the mere exposure effect. It takes place automatically and unconsciously. We might feel drawn to certain things, but we are not really sure why we like them so much.

Music: People tend to prefer songs they have heard before over new music they've never encountered. It's the reason you might turn to a playlist of your favorite songs when you feel stressed.”

Opal item and Fate of Ophelia are good ones IMO.

I can’t tell them apart. It all sounds like regurgitated Sabrina Carpenter music.
When Taylor was promoting a modern twist on Ophelia’s fate, I hoped the heroine would come to her senses and gain some character strength and agency. Nope, a man has to swoop in and save her from drowning in melancholy, just like men drove her to drown in the original story. And not any man, but a dimwit whose main allure is his wood.
How dull.

I mean, who really cares what they think if she's happy. I bet she doesn't. And you know they were all looking down their noses at her the whole time she was in their crowds. Such snobs.

This is deranged. Taylor quite obviously cares what they think because she wrote a whole song on this album about how she thinks they they make fun of her behind her back. It's clearly very important to her and she is viewing Matty's rejection as a rejection by this whole group of people/corner of the music industry. Sure, sure, she says in the song she doesn't care and it's funny because, omg, Charli is so obsessed with her. But if that's really how she felt, she wouldn't have made the lyrics so biting or vindictive.

Look, we know Taylor is petty. She always has been. It's one of the things I find relatable about her and her music because I can be petty too. But twisting ourselves into knots to justify everything she does or paint her as the good guy and victor in EVERY situation is cult like. Actually Romantic is a petty, vindictive song, and she is yet again using her very large microphone to go after a female peer because she feels insecure. Which is ironic because Charli used her much, much smaller microphone to release a song explicitly about feeling insecure around Taylor and trying to deal with that, but without trashing Taylor.

This time it's Taylor who's the smallest woman who ever lived, sorry.

It sounds like Charli and Taylor were beefing and she wrote about a song about it. People are really overthinking it. She has 100s of songs. To pick one and say it means she is obsessed or clearly never getting over something is odd. It’s what she does - picks a feeling and writes song. It also gets people talking which is not a bad thing.

I’m sure Charli bugs her and vice versa.

She is writing about Charli *right now.* "But she has written hundreds of other songs in the past"...okay? How does that prove she doesn't care about Charli? She is obviously very bothered by her.

No. She recorded the album over a year ago in spring or summer 2024. She could’ve written it in her journal a year or two before that or at least the idea of it.

She also wrote about a kid dying of cancer, you realize she didn’t have a child with cancer, right? Or understand what that means? She captured a feeling and wrote about it. She referenced going to prom in this album, hasn’t done that in a while. It’s amazing how the human mind works, right? You can think of thought or remember a feeling and write about it without actually being obsessed about it.

It’s more likely she was scrolling through social media one day during the tour and was pissed at what she saw and wrote a song about it. That doesn’t mean she wakes up every day thinking about Charlie goes to bed at night thinking about Charlie. I mean, if you wanna believe that you can, but it’s just strange. It’s just a song.

Taylor songs are not that deep. You act like everything she writes she spends years agonizing over. She’s really prolific and seems to dash off songs - you are the ones attaching way way too much meaning to them.

In the documentary she did with Aaron dessner, he said they all went to bed at three after drinking a bunch of wine, and they woke up the next morning and Taylor had stayed up and written a bunch of songs. It’s just not that deep - that’s how she works.

Fair, but middle aged?? She’s 35
