I hope she's put her socials on private. That reviewer is in danger 😂

which is kind of ridiculous because the reviewer ewas quite tame and complimentary, the score is actually an average of all pitchfork staff i believe, so they likely gave it a 7 or 8 imo (the one who wrote the review). they really should be more transparent and give the writer's personal score too imo.

Too high. Any score more than 50% is overrating it.

I'm not a swiftie, just a casual listener, but the dogpiling/tribalism everyone is showing is so gross. The same sh*t you see in high school, work places, etc.. always wanting to see the "top dog" fail because everyone is secretly jealous and miserable.

Anyway, I enjoyed the album, Fate of Ophelia is an incredibly catchy song, one of her best leads imo.

Nah, it’s mostly that her and her fans are insufferable and she’s deeply shallow and self-absorbed. She literally talks about the lyrics on this album like they’re profound. Her head is too far up her own ass and she needs to touch grass expeditiously.

Looks like only Rolling Stones and Billboard have been fed monetarily. No payola, no rave reviews.

All joking aside, I really hope this makes her take a step back and find some new artistic inspiration. This girl is capable of making some great pop music, and I am very disappointed with the product she has been creating the last two albums. It's just so frustrating because I was actually very excited for this album, especially knowing Max Martin was involved.
