I haven’t listened to Lover! Refuse to even. My eardrums are nearly blown out from GOOD music, not lookin to make them bleed anytime soon. 
 

Good. You don't need to listen to that snoozefest. And her stans dare to say things like ''every track is so special'' whereas in reality Lover sounds like a collection of 18 Carly Rae Jepsen's demo rejects lol.  Carly is better.

Oh my lort! Shots fired shots fired! Ugh the Swifties forgive them their young and impressionable. Someday they’ll  grow to appreciate REAL musical talent. 
 

I think it was Tay’s stupid Grammy performance of Out Of The Woods was when I was like oh gawd this is so cringe and that’s when 1989 went to the bargain bin. She has zero presence.

Carly can perform in smaller venues and doesn’t have backup dancers but she owns the stage and you feel the energy in the room. That’s defining talent right there!

I can't at the bitterness in this thread. It's so embarrassing to read.

She’s missing the boost Taylor had....

Taylor was big before Kanye

Carly has amazing music but Taylor has hustled to be where she’s at. Carly deserves more success, but let’s not fool ourselves into thinking she’d be selling out stadiums like Taylor

You tried it. She was there to accept Best Female Video and sold 592K copies her first week for that same album and had the best selling album in 2009. Kanye’s album that same year sold 150K copies less first week  facts sting don’t they?

Exactly you don’t care to hear the truth. Shouldn’t bother with those that don’t make an effort to realize they’re wrong 

[SpearsSpearsBrit]

The people who say here that Tay's overrated is that they don't know pure talent.
 They would already love that their favorite had Taylor's discipline, elegance and mettle.
 Carly Rae is good, but it was a serious mistake to have targeted her to such a teenage audience at 26 years old, or at least they should have released Curiosity as a single !!

I agree with all of this. She does NOT deserve to be as big as she is. She also did NOT deserve to win album of the year for 1989, E.MO.TION should have won instead. 

Okay gurl saying someone shouldn’t deserve success and fame is not it and off the limit  just because Taylor is huge, doesn’t mean she doesn’t work hard. Look at her Americana documentary. 

[Jordan Miller]

Agree that CRJ should have had way more commercial success than she has had, but music not the bling. Also at this lol

[thebritmaster]

As a musician I have to disagree. For example trying to replicate Taylor’s new live acoustic version of Cornelia Street is SUPER hard because of the crazy, intense and intentional strumming patterns she uses. Not to mention she wrote all the words and chose the chords. On Lover, some incredible lyrics stand out to me from False God and Cruel Summer. 

I also stan Carly

[TheySayImCrazy18]

Your Right,  Carly Slay Jepsen Makes Bops, And Much Better Music Then Taylor.  The Problem Is, Carly Has Always Tried To Recreate The Success Of “Call Me Maybe”.  (Example Her Single  “I Really Like You”) And She Never Achieved.  Not To Mention,  Her Music Is To Juvenile For The Fact That She Is 34 Years Old.  She Singing About The Same Topics JoJo Siwa Sings About, You Can’t Be Taken Seriously If Your That Old And Your Music Is Like That.  Still, “Call Me Maybe” Is And Will Forever Be My  S_H_I_T

Oh, best part of ME is Brendon Urie! That man is a God.

and, Taylor Swift needs to give her Grammy back to Carly. 1989 is a bland and basic album. E.MO.TION SIDE B is everything that Taylor WISHES she could make.

 well, you mentioned several times that E.MO.TION is much better than 1989... for me, 1989 is one of the best pop albums from that year, but I'm not saying that E.MO.TION is bad because I never heard it. *opening spotify and taking a spin...*

Carly has stated many times in interviews she chose to step back from the Call Me Maybe hype train to write less conventional music and work to her benefit.

I'd take this one step further and even say that if she WAS the huge success that Taylor Swift is we probably wouldn't have gotten albums like E.MO.TION or Dedicated ....I feel like she was stepping away from her mega-hit and focusing on just making something that she liked. So yeah thank god "I REALLY LIKE YOU", flopped.

I really really really really like that assessment and I feel that’s so true. If she was chasing charts would be have crafted the masterpieces she has? I have to agree I don’t think so. 
 

but let’s be rihonest kween Carly needs more respect from the GP

[Adriannn]

Let us both love of them, shall we?
