the thing is the majority of current taylor fans are not consuming art they're consuming product. it doesn't even matter what the songs sounds like anymore or what their artistic value is. it's all about streams, visibility, aesthetic, being apart of something etc. they live vicariously through her in some weird power fantasy. it's why you have people posting "she did 1 gabillion streams first day KTT LOST" as if that means f***ing anything to people who actually LIKE music
SLOP BRAND PRODUCT BRAND SLOP PRODUCT
Slop means low effort/low quality content with little to no actual substance. Hope that helps bud
Swiftys really donât understand they are only hurting themselves by endorsing this s***. Until the slop is refused the slop will continue to be dished out
Iâm not joking when I say her next album will be AI
At least Kanye fans stopped listening and praising when he did this s***

If youâre enjoying the album that is all that matters

This one in particular is bizarre cus the censored version is much better and makes more sense
âCus my checks biggerâ
She don't wanna be seen as a square so she gotta swear

that's true but there's def a subset of music dorks who still rate Taylor very highly which is what confuses me
Somebody put it very plainly in a way I agree with it:
âNo, Taylor is not one of the greatest songwriters of all-time, youâre just simple! Youâre simple and thereâs nothing wrong with that. But if you genuinely believe sheâs one of the greatest writers ever, read a bookâ
Also, someone pointed out that the sociology around Taylor Swift in the 2020s is more interesting than the art she produces in the 2020s, and I agree with that as well
Her music is about as basic as it can get, but the way her cult-like fanbase is in such intense adoration of her is truly a fascinating phenomenon to witness in real time
Another KTT2 loss
theyâre in their little bubble lol
I mean yes because it's really bad
her writing is worse than ever and this production is insanely uninspired, especially from max of all people
Heavily disagree when it starts out with 3 bops from out the gate
Feel like people just set insanely high expectations and are disappointed it's not what they wanted or/and are just piling on the hate because it's the cool thing to do.

she's better than Bob Dylan, Marvin Gaye and Joni Mitchell combined
theyâre in their little bubble lol
Taylor fans are in a bubble as well, itâs just a gigantic ass bubble
wait this b**** really thinks sheâs writing shakespeare level s***eđ

Taylorâs music isnât offensively mediocre in a vacuum
Itâs the almost Christ-like pedestal she gets put on by her audience that makes outsiders put her work under a magnifying glass, expecting genius-level artistry and musicality and authorship, and ultimately walking away feeling like her art does not live up to the appraisal it receives
To equate it to a field that is more objectively judged, it would be like if a player in the NBA who was averaging 20 PPG won the MVP award year after year, and his fans kept talking about him like he was one of the best players of all-time. 20 PPG is decent, but in todayâs NBA that wouldnât even make the Top 35 in scoring.
I donât think anyone thinks that Taylor Swift is the worst musician of all time whoâs never released a single good song ever. Itâs just that for the amount of praise and awards and acclaim that she receives, it does not correlate to the talent that is on display within her bodies of work. Itâs just puzzling.
I have opinions

well ya i mean she's one of the biggest artist in the world she's bound to be hold on that pedestal and have a crazy following. What artist on that level doesn't have that same issue? Clearly her songwriting does have prowess to it if she's reached that status. U not agreeing is fine but I don't think it warrants the constant hatred towards her & her music like I keep seeing.
Mind u she's 12 albums deep into her career and possibly more to come so there's bound to be flubs along the way.
like how lol
