"This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things" is actually written pretty good?

[DC 25,164]

People are always saying this is one of her worst written songs, but I just always thought it was actually written pretty good?

Like all the metaphors to show how much she was hurt I think are pretty good, the chorus is shouty but also straight forward and "metaphored" at the same time. 

What do you think?

Didn't know it had such hate, I always loved it

Are we talking purely songwriting?

Cuz I don't like the song in general, but she's pretty good at lyricism.

It's on of my favorites from Reputation. I usually move my furniture around and just leave one loveseat in the middle of the room and sit on it with a broomstick in my had while I lip synch like a king/queent.

Taylor is a great songwriter but sometimes I really can't get behind her taste and this song is just... ugly I don't know. I never liked it. I think she has more sophisticated songs about the same subject matter.

I’ve never heard this song

I love the song but the lyrics are a bit juvenile.

It's better than Dancing With Our Hands Tied.

[Wet Fire 7,829]

It's a bop for me

I think Kanye's depression started by TS constant attacks

If that's the case then he shouldn't have done the things he did in 2016.

For reasons I don't know myself, I really like this song. Idk, I always have fun and feel encouraged when listening to it.
