This actually puts it in perspective how old I feel. Because I swear I was just watching the office in real time like 5-8 years ago.

I know this isn’t a TS thread but since the album was just released I’m giving my opinion on it.
I haven’t listened to every song in its entirety on TTPD but listened to a lot of it when it dropped. I don’t really like it and it’s very underwhelming IMO. There are a couple okay songs but nothing is a bop, nothing you can sign or dance around to and on the other end, the “sad” songs are not at the exile/cardigan level. I don’t like the production in it, it feels very synthesized, and a lot of the songs all sound the same. I’ll blame Jack for some of this.
I think she was probably going through it when she wrote most of them but they all read “dear diary” to me and don’t seem song worthy from a musical perspective. They also don’t read 30-something yo woman to me, I’d love to see her evolve and experiment more at this point in her career. OH and she announced it was a double album but I’ve only heard a snippet of a song from that set and it’s actually terrible (a high school song or something and it’s about Travis but it’s not good). Honestly a funny AI generated Travis song on TikTok around the SB was better.

TL;DR - Taylor’s new album isn’t great (or even good) and she could have kept these songs to herself or published it as a poetry book. From a musical perspective this one ain’t it and so many of the songs sound the same. I don’t think anyone has to worry about her getting AOTY for this one.

Oh I bet she still does But the radio station has played a couple and no. I’m not a Taylor fan but I can appreciate her music and bop along to a lot of them but this isn’t it and yet people are calling it her realest album yet.

Nah, not gonna happen. The lives on TikTok had lots of swifties who didn’t like it, calling it her worst album to date. There were some people freaking out and loving it but lots of people were being honest about it.

The others she got it for were not great either. Grammys are known problematic popularity contest so yes I think she will still win

Do I think she will deserve it no. I think cowboy carter does but it happened before between them and Taylor won

normadix, that's what I have been reading, exactly what you said. Too long, too many lyrics, very redundant. Wow, Suri looks so pretty and a lot like Katie. I hope she still has her burn book

TS continues to take herself too seriously. I tried to read the caption on her IG post and it got too "junior in high school writes poetry, gazes out window at rain, feels big feelings that no one understands" so I just...closed out of the app.

The entire album feels very high school poetry. I have it on in the background and it really is just a bunch of stories, the melodies and production aren’t good. I think the reason some of her fans like it is because they are getting some tea on Joe and Matty. She’s just sing talking to us.

Since blinds ruin everything, I will do the opposite for the sportsball fans among us and say that I met and chatted with Jason Kelce at an event last night and he was incredibly kind and goofy and generous with photos. ETA: When you get a group of really rich people happy and drunk, they do things like pay $17K for this mummer hat worn and signed by Jason in in the auction lol (With Chris Long, also a wonderful human.)

At this point even if I did feel bad over the Kim stuff (which I don’t and Taylor took her shots back then) I couldn’t any more because it’s time to move on and you are constantly bringing this beef back up. Kim has literally spent money on merch and tickets to your shows for her and her kids and family it’s time to call it a win and move on Also her fans went after Travis’ ex again and it’s just blah get over everything

Obvi I dont listen to everything but so far contenders for AOTY for me are Deeper Well by Kacey Musgraves and cowboy carter. The later being more innovative the winner so far in my book.
I think Lana has an album coming out soonish. Does Billie Ellish?
I’ll listen to the Tay album sometime today or this weekend but I’m not the target audience. I’ve never listened to more than her singles.

Her tweet asking people to leave her alone sounded so desperate and tired. I can’t imagine the annoyance of having to deal with that over someone you used to date. It’s unhinged.

And it’s so stupid Considering she just released a double album about 2 of her exes yet Travis’ ex deserves harassment for what existing and being his ex?

I hope she still has her burn book I've listened to some of the songs and yeah, it's like a tween's running stream of consciousness diary that really shouldn't have seen the light of day. I was just thinking about Suri's burn book LOL.
