Taylor Swift worst album?

[Mister Gaga 23,075]

Without doubts, Life of a Showgirl. It's mediocre and i'm actually surprised she put this **** out, coming from such a unique streak of excellent albums (folklore, evermore, midnights, re releases and tortured poets).

[TEANUS 15,984]

TLOAS

TTPD

Debut

Fearless

 

Are all unusable for me because I don’t like country music (the latter two) or bland music (the former two) 

But I respect Debut and Fearless 10000x more than her last two slops

Speak Now through Midnights all had 1-2 songs I liked or had stuck in my head at some point

If I had to count Debut then fine it’s that one.

But after that I’d say a toss up between Lover and TLOAS. I enjoy both though and they each have very fun or even career highlights.

Say what you will but Cruel Summer And Fate of Ophelia are catchy as hell and really fun. Father Figure is a highlight from TLOAS and Cornelia Street from Lover. But overall weak albums compared to the rest of discography.

Surprised to see reputation get so many votes. I thought it’s a fun album with solid production.

The most recent two should be lumped together and it’s that.

[DESTROY UR DISEASE 16,082]

The Tortured Poets Department

The anthology does help it a bit but still the amount of songs that I don't care about is alarming. I can name only 2 tracks on the standard edition that I think are actually, objectively great, but still the overall production of the album is just bland and boring. And unfortunately I hear a lot of that on TLOAS too

Is three votes really so many? It looks like other albums are receiving considerably more (as they should).

I feel like I'm at a buffet and there's too many choices

My theory is that besides wanting some creative release during the Eras Tour (which she mentioned in interviews), I think she already has something big planned creatively for her 13th album and wanted to get the 12th album over with as quickly as possible so she can craft the 13th to be a solid record.

We know how obsessed she gets with numerology. And 13 is her favorite number.

And overall TLOAS just feels like she wanted to have fun and not take herself too seriously after TTPD (which she specifically got criticized for but it’s funny to see more people saying they like it now and wished she’d go back to TTPD writing).

In any case, Taylor has already proven she can write everything from generic pop songs like ME! and Opalite to introspective music like those of folklore/evermore/TTPD/Midnights so I have no doubt in her ability even after TLOAS. Like I get the criticism but she’s already proven her prowess as a songwriter time and time again so a regression is almost inevitable after the high’s of her last few albums (I strongly believe TTPD is up there with folklore ppl can crucify me I guess).

I just need to know what she’ll cook up for TS13. No way she’ll settle for having fun like she did for TLOAS. I think she’ll take the album much more seriously like she did with 1989 after losing the Grammy for Red.

Oop didn’t see the vote numbers just the percentages. Also lumping Midnights and TTPD makes no sense.

and no I disagree that her other albums deserve more votes. Midnights was a solid album and so was TTPD though the duds do stand out (notably Vigilante **** from Midnights and a handful from TTPD). But the highlights are HIGHlights imo.

[IllusionLover 7,227]

The way Speak Now, Red and 1989 are the holy trinity.

That said, I think debut is a very bland album, except for the gay song. But let's see if the 20th anniversary Taylor's Version changes my mind.

And Showgirl is her worst era and her second worst album.

[huttont 5,864]

I listen to debut the least but I genuinely enjoy all of her albums

[gagafan1394 296]

the way it's all three: MIDnights/Tortured Listeners/Sh*tgirl

and this is coming from someone who grew up on this girl lol I used to LOVEEEE Speak Now, Red, and Folklore/Evermore but now she just annoys the everliving hell out of me that i dont even bother listening to any of her music now.

Showgirl really showed us the girl has hit rock bottom artistically
