I think Taylor Swift has a successful formula or writing about her life, changing up her style every few years, choosing talented singers to accompany her on her albums. I really don't think she cares about Beyonce's album. History has shown there is room for both of them to have hit albums and sold out shows. I think both of their record labels care deeply, but not Bey or Taylor. But for me this isn’t about there being room for both because I agree which is a main reason I didn’t want to share the theory But I do believe that Taylor does care about her reputation a lot and therefore does compare herself to other artists and Beyonce being the more notable drop lately where people were going crazy over the amount of songs on the album I’m not surprised she had more to release I’m not saying it’s 100% fact

I’ve never heard the double album theory and for some reason my feed is 96% Swifties and I don’t know why All my Swiftie friends were shocked by the double album. My 12 year old was ecstatic. And I died a little inside knowing that I am going to be hearing non stop off key singing from my kid for the next few weeks.

But have you seen the video where Nikki is guiding Paris how to change a diaper? And then the nanny is behind Paris all tense watching? Paris will never not be entertaining to watch.

Florence should will all the AOTYs. She could sing happy birthday and I’d fangirl, I love her so much. I do like this song with Taylor but that’s literally all I’ve listened to so far.

He is not named as a defendant and there is no reason to ever think he should be one, but the ginger haired one can't love the association/headlines he is getting right now with the sex trafficker who had his homes raided.

This foreign born A+/A list singer seemingly picks the worst boyfriends time and time again. This one probably won't stalk her, but he is controlling every aspect of her life and she is definitely afraid of him which doesn't sound good at all.

If you are selling bird seed and a million other things, are you really a brand or are you just throwing things at the wall and seeing what sticks? It seems like the latter for the alliterate one.

One of the captors of the permanent A list "singer" just keeps getting drawn deeper and deeper into the troubles of the producer/wannabe rapper. Now, she was the paymaster for the sex trafficking?

“I’m not reading all that I’m happy for you tho Or so sorry that happened”
Meme about Tay’s album.
Spot on.

I think I’ve talked about this, but one of my friends is in the DoJ and worked with her on a project and they met in person a few times. My friend maintains that she is the kindest, loveliest, most genuine person and has never stopped saying wonderful things about her.

The double album theory has been going on for at least 6 months, I don't think it has anything to do with Beyonce. Also, have y'all heard Thank you Aimee? 😂 I cannot believe she’s still talking about Kim. It’s all so bizarre and childish to me.

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. This is just so weird to me. Why would you expect a "bop" from a 30-something year old woman? It was never meant to be a dance album. Sorry the songs aren't sad enough? How exactly are they not "30-something enough"? How has she not evolved? She's done a country album. She's done pop albums. She put out an edgier album with a rock sound. She's done ballads, she sang songs where she's the victim and she's sang songs where she lays out her flaws. Not worthy from who's musical perspective? Yours? If there's one thing that bothers me it's when people dog on an artist or a genre like it's some kind of flex. Do you appreciate art? Do you consider music art? I'm sure you don't "like" all types of artwork but you appreciate it for the work that went into what it represents. So either you appreciate art, or you're a judgemental critic. Pick one.

And for the record, I'm not saying you can't have an opinion. I hate Morgan Wallan but I don't go on the internet to bash his music. I'm just tired of people saying this woman lacks talent when that's clearly not the case. Like her or not, she a successful artist for a reason.

Lol I’m allowed to have an opinion on things, including whether I like an album. I’m not a swiftie but I do like some of her songs in general. Folklore is the closest to music I gravitate towards so easily my favorite album of hers. And yes, slower (“sad”) songs were not all created equal. A bop is a good / catchy song? Not just a dance song IMO. It can be any age and is not confined to teens and people in their 20s. I’m not going to pretend the album is good or a masterpiece because it’s Taylor and I’m the furthest from a Taylor hater. I even waited for the drop at midnight to listen because I was excited for it. And historically I write positive things about her in these threads, I am genuinely disappointed with the album.

Like I literally have hyped her up in Blinds threads. And this is the only place on the internet where I’ve posted my opinion on the album bc we posts about things like that here. I’m not going around bashing it everywhere. Again, people can appreciate people’s talent and success but not love (or like) an album.

The podcast That’s Messed Up confirms it too with basically every guest they have. Never a bad word about her.
