Like take Britney for example. She branched off from Max Martin and started working with The Neptunes, then Bloodshy & Avant, then Danja, then Dr. Luke, then (sadly) will.i.am, and when she did Glory it was with a bunch of people she either never worked with before or she only did a couple songs with previously. If you can go and work with different people and still make it sound good, then that to me is an artist. Taylor just needs to branch out to different producers for something fresh, otherwise it’s going to ruin her artistry imo.
Like imagine if Britney only worked with will.i.am or Danja. It would start to sound really stale and she’d get ripped apart by critics.
I think it sounds like she is mostly heartbroken but forgiving to Joe, with little bits of you said things you didn't mean.
The anger and scorn is 100% at Matt Healy. Smallest Man Who Ever Lived is definitely about her fling with Matt
I’m currently listening to it rn I think I’m on track 5. It’s good, but she’s really starting to sound stale. She needs to branch off and find new people to work with instead of always relying on Jack Antonoff to produce her stuff all the time because he can only do so much until it all just starts blending together. I mean it almost style wise reminds me of Midnights. I’m not bashing her or the album, but she REALLY needs to branch out and work with new people instead of playing it safe with Jack.
I'm not sure if they are just new people.
Some current players were there during the c-ship days. Her entire current team worked for her dad at some point.
