Looks just like a pictorial in a magazine interview. Is this really the best she could do?

It always bothers me when an album cover doesn't even look like the artist in question and the title looks like it has nothing to do with the album cover at all.

It's meant to be Taylor, naked, with her face covered by her hair. Just a crudely drawn picture, I don't get the effect. Their previous album went for a more literal depiction and had a much stronger effect.

 

And, don't come for me, but...BTW and AP.

I really don't understand the hate toward the cover for The Fame, I've always loved it and thought it was amazing.

And when you say my name, like white horses on the waves, I think it feels the same, as an ocean in my veins.

remember how people on the forums thought "BTW" cover was a joke? and whether it was a cringe-fest embarrassment became an actual media narrative for a few days?

I remember this :ladyhaha: when I first saw it I really though it was a bad joke. And honestly, I still have mixed feelings about it, because it really is soooooo weird yet soooooooo iconic. I love it and I hate it at the same time :oops:

Do you remember what else Adam Lambert said about the BTW cover? I remember him saying much more than I could find in that one tweet... I recall him reminding people that camp is "SUPPOSED" to be over the top, etc.

Any little sleuths have a lead on this?

I think that since it was a throwback to mid-century pop, it's supposed to look like old-school vinyl records. Back in the day, there were lots of glamour shot close-ups like the one of Christina --- and, for a time, there was a specific trend in the little banner on the top of a record cover with the label and information like "hi-fi" or "mono" etc...
