Republic Records artists usually don't have local releases

I heard some of the leaks, kinda disappointed imo

its not like “bad” but it’s definitely “safe”.. I was hoping it’s gonna have some jazzy-showgirl elements, some live instruments, trumpets and sh*t…

I rly don’t get why would she put on these kind of visuals with almost zero context to the production if the album, it would be like if Doja take the visuals from Vie and used it for Planet Her, like what?

[Psyduck 1,596]

It's not bad. It's actually better than MBF, and her last 3albums lol.

Standouts for me are The Fate of Ophelia, Wood, and Ophalite.

I still prefer 1989 over this tho.

It's definitely a lot less adventurous or grand than I was expecting overall.  It's very light rock pop.  Not a huge departure from distinct Taylor sound as reputation.  Elizabeth Taylor is a bop!  TFOO feels like an odd choice for first single, just imo there's songs that feel more radio friendly.  But overall radio will spam her no matter what, so I guess it doesn't really make a huge difference.

Okay, so I haven’t heard the “diss track” about Charli, but I’m a little confused about why Taylor would feel like she needed to respond to Sympathy is a Knife. The song is literally about Charli getting imposter syndrome around Taylor and needlessly comparing herself to her which is…if not a compliment, is certainly not an insult lmao. Like what’s the tea?

After hearing the song it HAS to be something that happened irl not ab SIK.

Not having this as a main cover is a crime

Not only is this the first time Miss Swift has ever served, but it strips away the "relatable" artifice and shows her as driven, power hungry, and literally clawing for attention. It just makes perfect sense for the album title, working Max Martin, how the world perceives her vs how her fans perceive her, craving fame but also hating it - it all goes together so well 

EXACTLY LIKE THIS COVER IS ON PAR WITH REPUTATION

i think it’s the expectation like one side thinks this is just a friendship while the over finds this to be a competition and it’s just being a girl 

 

like there isn’t one way or even a right way to be one

omggggg tonight i can't wait. I wanna hear some leaks

[weed 74,572]

gag.... she's coming for blood

 

[Luv u Sum 2,401]

well i was really excited until i listened to some of these snippets. i'll wait till it's in HQ to fully form an opinion but the hype has dipped. and about almost romantic.... last night when i read the lyrics i was laughing but today im not laughing..... i think it's incredibly dumb of her actually.

The fact Im not able to tell if this is true or just a meme tells enough about what I think of her

[GrandeAvenue 107]

Somehow this album feels like Jack Antonoff made it. The boringness is still lingering in the air.

Idk that feels like an overly critical response from Taylor (admittedly I haven’t heard the song yet, tho). Charli admits that there’s no point in the comparison in Sympathy is a Knife, but she can’t help but feel the anxiety anyway, so I feel like anything less than consolation is just trying to gin up controversy. But I won’t know until I hear the song ofc
