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.

She pretty much uses him cos he charges less. reoublic records main job is to promote and distribute the album 

 

Since taylor swift owns her masters and is actually the copyright holders. 

 

She has to pay the studio, the producers,  and photo shoots sets.

 We saw what happened when jlo spent 20 Million of her own money for it not to recoup it back  

 

Taylor knows it's cheaper cos she can afford max Martin and a list producers  

 

But 150k a track is better than the asking price of 10 Million a track which is what max Martin wants .

 

No way is she going to pay that kind of money and lose her billionaire status and her critical acclaim. 

 

She's one of the most critically acclaimed acts. 

 

Lover her last mainstream album was the last album to get mixed reviews.

Is it me or have her last five albums and era's all been very much alike ? Like it's all just the same type of music and any of the songs could have been on any of the albums ? 

Like good for her fans that they get so much material but as an outsider it's kinda boring. 

 

Lover was a synth pop album, that had a bright sound a thematically was about love in its positive forms, with performances, a planned tour and bright colour, folklore was a genre shift to folk inspired music that was based on storytelling and was surprise dropped during the pandemic with a black and white colour palette, evermore was a sister album that was still folk inspired but had more experimental elements and a sepiatone palette, midnights was a synth driven pop album with multiple videos and launched a tour. TTPD while it has elements of the previous, brings in country elements and larger synth driven productions with Taylor at her most emotionally raw....

I'm a Stan, but I just don't think that the eras can be compared because they're very different.

Million layered words, zero singing

[stronger1992]

Lyrically yes, sonically…no. It’s 30 songs of very slow, gloomy vibes. The songs are more like stories, not much singing. If you’re expecting pop bops this isn’t the album.

Taylor needs to give up this artsy aesthetic and give us another pop album like 1989. This album is too sentimental for my liking. It’s kind of like evermore but even more sentimental. 

It is not even artsy, it is artsy in a way a teenage girl put glitter on a notebook and call it an art

The lyrics are sometimes very juvenile for 35 year old woman and the use of embellishments on words many times doesnt sounds natural.

Musically it is nice, yeah its kinda the same but it is not bad at all, melodies are there, I feel like she should team up with different songwriters and producers, cause even the bests in best sometimes get to the point they need new life into their material because it sounds the same or doesnt progress as it should.

I dont mean it in a bad way, before some super fans come at me haha, for those I would just say, read my post one more time and slowly and you will see I actually complimented her in some ways, however if she was 10-15 years younger and less skilled I would understand the point of view of many her songs, being 35 you should be more mature of how you describe things

As an outsider, I agree and it could be because she can't dance, so she doesn't want to have any more upbeat songs 

What are you  talking about ?she is an incredible dancer no one can pull off these sharp moves not even prim  Britney

Oh no, a songwriter wrote about themself and their experiences, what a shocker...

Lol. It’s as if they’ve never heard of songs about love or heartbreak. Must not have heard about 95 percent of music. 

[HearMeOnYourRadio]

Hating other artists this much isn’t going to bring Britney out of retirement. Just sayin. 

[davidspears]

At this point I feel like she could release "Baa Baa Black Sheep" as a single and it would do well.

"The Alchemy" seems to be about Travis

My least favorite song on here.  The football puns are so on the nose and corny to me...especially for a 30 year plus one of the greatest songwriters ever.  Me no like

Not to be silly, but surely this and midnights IS the drastic shift in sound after releasing Folklore, Evermore and then revisiting her unowned work? I meant, at this point, she has country, folk, blues, synth pop, electropop, rock, jazz inspired, songs across all her albums. What sound could she do that wouldn't be in line with a similar album sound?

Vocal style all 4 sound the same to me idk. Instrumental wise, no they’re completely different. Only Midnights and this new album sound almost identical imo.

She can still experiment with genres. She could make a house sounding record, or an rnb type of record. There’s still plenty of sounds for her to explore. This album sounds just like the last one, and vocally like the previous 3 imo.

It’s getting stale. She doesn’t have to work with expensive producers, but she can work with new ones. Jack Antonoff is running out of ideas on how to make her music sound, it’s time to switch it up. I like the album, but it does nothing to change or revolutionize her sound or even the current music landscape. It’s just there. It literally sounds almost completely like Midnights. Tbh she needs to take a long long LONG break after she re-records reputation and Taylor Swift. I’m not bashing on her, but this just ain’t it anymore.

i'm not sure, I mean, folklore, evermore, midnights, she describes personal things but we could relate to A LOT of it specially midnights, this one it's too personal, she chose some specific lyrics and storytelling that is TOO personal, so i listened the side A and couldn't relate much to the songs? she failed in that department

+ i really like jack antonoff but he's magic with taylor is quite annoying now, aaron dessner looks better now. 

I can't wait for the visuals tho cause it seems SO GOOD.

but really, it's not really a bad album like it seems to be she's just so overexposed now.

billie eilish is gonna shine this year cause she's showing versatility in this new album and i just can't wait. and charli xcx is the summer album!

I think it fits her journal style of writing. Taylor isn't a hook girl, she is a socialite diary kind of girl. It's her shtick. Taylor is like a modern-day romance novelist.

It's just another album where if you don't know her entire life lore and relationship history, you're probably falling asleep.

Sonically boring *** songs with tired, copy and paste production and chord progressions. Lots of cringy and corny lyrics, nothing really new on that front.

Beyoncé and Ariana ate her up. This is a snooze fest, but I'm sure her fans will eat this up.

I have to agree with what you're saying. To me, I have no idea about Taylor Swift FAQ, the album was dreadfully boring for me. It's so slow and boring... Every single person I follow on IG that loves TSWIZZLE is dying over this album and think it's fabulous .. I'm sure it's good if you know everything about her... 

 

But I was hoping for something more intense

I want bops, too.
