I'm not a Taylor fan, nor a hater. 

Gave this one a try because of how they marketed it as some pop comeback. 

Had to stop after the 5th song. The songs go nowhere and sound like they could have been on any of her past 3 albums.

i'm 94% sure that's her teams strategy these days

it was a bit interesting with TTPD, an almost surprise release album in which nobody knew how the album would sound

but it seems, twice in a row, it's just more of the same which destroys the anticipation... i remember being perched (in the shadows) for TTPD because the secrecy felt like she was about to bring something wildly different for her

See with the stunt she pulled with TTPD vinyls having exclusive tracks, I just waited till release day to decide which of the 4 tracks I preferred before committing to a physical.

Begin rant: This album is really not it. I thought it was because it was 5am and I’m catching a flight early AF and tired, but I’m glad we all agree. 
 

I used to LOVE Taylor. Well… from 1989-Evermore. Ever since it’s all one note. And with this release; she dropped her poetic lyrics it feels. Girl needs to know how to edit and rework. Just because you’ve “completed” 12 songs doesn’t mean the album is done. Listen back. Keep creating until something good comes out. Demos from Lover sound better than these tracks. 
 

This production is INCREDIBLY boring. These drum machines are so off the rack H&M, Zara, mass produced bs. I can’t believe she wasted Max like this. She doesn’t have the vocals to support the tracks without interesting production. I secretly feel like she paid Max a LOT of money to make sh** music to clear Jacks name. 
 

Anywho, the only good songs are Opalite and Wood. And that’s giving them way more credit than they probably deserve. 

 

End Rant.

Its giving 143 (Taylor's Version) but ofc her fanbase, GP, and many critics will hype this up. And I consider myself a moderate Swiftie!

Waiting for the "you just don't get her lyricism" comments 🥲

Taylor is addicted to misusing tropes and characters from Shakespeare lmao. Like what’s the point of making yourself Ophelia if you’re going to reduce Hamlet to a “bag full of scorpions?”

If Travis is the man who saved her from Hamlet, who's Hamlet ? 

 

Found this quote on Genius :

Didn’t really need to reread it [Hamlet]. I wanted to sprinkle some references in the bridge, so like the the bridge references kind of some paraphrasing of some lines from Hamlet, so I did like do a little brush up. But I just love the idea that like, ‘You you saved me from love driving me mad,’ right? ‘Cause that’s what happened to Ophelia. Spoiler alert.

:interestinga:
