- Can an album this good also be her worst? I think so, but I'm always open to discussion. If this reaches 6K views I'll cover the rest of the bonus material. @TaylorSwift

My bet is Skye is gonna be like "This is Taylor's worst album... at making me smile and cry a million times!!! Btw I love my wife and children! Anyways, here's how the album is like Simone De Beauvoir..."
Lmao
hahahahah
This is so accurate and cute lol
So I don't usually comment anything, but I feel the need to defend Blank Space, hahah! The lyrics are satirical, using all the ways the media and the general public would criticize and characterize her for her dating life, as this manipulative, men-hunting woman, "catching" men to only write songs about them, not being able to "keep" them and being overly emotional and "crazy". Basically - what if all these things they were saying about her were true, and what if she wrote a song from that person's perspective. She talks about it in her acoustic Grammy Museum performance, which I would highly recommend!
Also, the Starbucks thing is like a running joke in the fandom, haha. The actual lyrics are: 'got a long list of ex-lovers, they'll tell you I'm insane'. But a lot of people here 'lonely Starbucks-lovers'. I think a lot of the older swifties (including me) find it very funny that she decided to keep it in her new version!
So I'm not the only one who misheard the "Starbucks lovers".:) "Blank Space" was the first Taylor song I fell in love with. It's so catchy and so full of sarcastic and quotable lyrics and such an effective reduced to the core production. Pop perfection! And yes, the Grammy Museum performance is great!
EXACTLY
Prof. Skye clickbaits are the best clickbaits
AVAA!
TBH there's a lot of context about this album that you wouldn't get if you didn't read the original album liner notes or live through that time. For example, Welcome to New York isn't just about moving to NYC, it's her metaphor for moving from country music to pop music. And TBH I see it as being optimistic about huge changes happening in your life and being like "Hey, I might be an outsider but I'm made for this. I will not feel like an imposter. Instead, I'll approach this like a reinvention." Blank Space was an exercise of satire. I agree that some lyrical specificity was lost bc she used a broader brush (Bad Blood, HYGTG, AYHTDWS to an extent), but she really experimented with sound, songwriting methods and cadence here which I appreciate. And thematically it also showed her growing into an adult because there's a lot more moral ambiguity here than she'd expressed before.
Blank Space is a satire about how the media portrayed her at a time! I also thought “Starbucks lovers” at the time lol but it’s “got a long list of ex-lovers” ;-)
She did a special listening session for the Grammy’s that’s on RUclips, where she goes through how some of the songs were made, showing studio footage and some voice notes of the songs’ inceptions. Plus there’s some acoustic performances at the end, including Wildest Dreams on electric guitar which is AMAZING. Highly recommend you check that out! It also gives a lot of context to the overall story.
I totally agree with you about the story aspect of this album which, in retrospect is lacking. To give some Swiftie perspective on why that is: 2014 Taylor is not the Taylor we know today whose media presence is strategic and deliberate. At that time her private life was extremely public as she was just entering the pop sphere. So everyone at the time knew the lore behind all the songs via the media. So I still think there is a lot of story to this album, it’s just not in the lyrics. To me this album is super meta in that way because everyone knows who she’s talking about and the exact situation that played out too. There is, I think, a purposeful lack of explanation which gives most of the songs a super cheeky quality to them. But I think the whole pop album being so very much centered around pop culture, with HER being the centre of pop media at the time, makes the whole thing absolutely iconic and justifies the larger than life, romantic quality of the music!
WTNY does suck though, but she embraces being a corny gal so I’ll let her have it.
Oh also Clean and Maroon (off of Midnight) are quite possibly two perspectives of the same situation!!
I love WTNY! Is a up beat that i HAVE to listen as i lay my feet in new york that loud.
❤
You are right in every moment
Lol you misheard so many lyrics😃
First of all, its 'got a long list of ex lovers' and nothing to do with starbucks.
In Style, 'and i got that red lip classic thing that you like'.
And in shake it off, its 'heartbreakers gonna break break break break' and has nothing to do with break dancing😂
Lastly, funny you found out about taylor and harry at the end of the album because almost the entire album is about their relationship. I mean the song is called style 😅
AVAA 😂👍 always enjoy you Taylor review videos. Blank Space is a satire song. It’s related to how the media always portray her as a psycho serial dater that keeps dating many men for a short period. The blank space is just a silly thing about how she has a book of names of people she has dated (which is not true)😂 I think…
AVAA! Some general thoughts throughout this review:
•I was not expecting you to reference Sheetz in this video. As a bumblefuck, PA resident, I appreciate it haha.
•I don’t get the “new york city!” reference, but it made me think of Cowboy Nudes by Geese.
•The “starbucks lover” was a joke back in 2014 as it’s a mondegreen. The lyric is “got a long list of ex lovers”.
•Style is my favorite song off the original, but the remake sucks a lot of the life and passion out of the vocal performance. This kind of production is also very hard to remake properly as opposed to the organic instrumentation of her first few records. That being said, I fully get why you won’t listen to the old versions.
Sheetz is probably my favorite gas station. Always have clean bathrooms and Haribo Twin Snakes
Think the New York City reference was to geese.
Not picking that blank space is a satire its honestly crazy
You should listen to the original bonus tracks! I feel like you’d really appreciate the quiet tenderness of “you are in love”. The lyrics are so direct and the situations described so mundane but so Taylor Swift, definitely some of the best on this album
She also sung clean for the 1 year of winning her sexual assault trial where she was defending herself from a dj tht groped her. So a lot of fan have used it for addiction but also for needing to be clean from an assault
I think the best place to see this is in the Miss Americana documentary. In that context, it hits hard.

P.S. I am certain you would appreciate this album more with more listens because the lyric you highlighted in Style "he can't keep his wild eyes on the road" isn't just about him looking at her. It's about him having a wandering eye in their relationship. This is such a brilliant lyric in a song about two people who keep breaking up and coming back to each other. And the character growth is so intriguing. We go from Taylor admonishing a guy for wanting to cheat in Red (look at "Girl At Home") to the following lyrics:
'I say, "I heard that you've been out and about with some other girl, some other girl"
He says, "What you heard is true, but I can't stop thinkin' 'bout you and I"
I said, "I've been there too a few times" '
By the way I would LOVVVEE for you to review the vault songs!!!They actually remind me A LOT of Midnights and my personal opinion is that most of the Midnights album was conceived at the same time that 1989 was, but perhaps too edgy for an artist transitioning from country to pop to put out at the time. The bones of Midnights were born in this era. I think the biggest difference between the two albums is the Midnights is a reflection of TS, the person who already is a pop icon, and 1989 is an image (Polaroid perhaps?) of ephemeral pop iconography, before she made it her own.
Love your content! Please please please review the vault 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
and not having the correct lyrics is really a problem. Absolutely, I was thinking this review is off because he is a man. Then Skye admits he was raised misogynistic. Not knowing Style is about Harry Styles in a most positive way although many, if not most, people do not pick up that the song is very complementary.
Heyy! I see you got the context of the year (2014) to analyze the songs, but I believe you lack the Taylor context for that time!
Blank Space is a satire about how the media treated her as a serial dater, she views it as a character; I believe that with this context the lyrics you brought up can be considered a successful arrow hahahahahahha
Wildest dreams was the first direct reference to sex she had ever made at that point, the fans that first listened to it at her house on a secret session report that she even blushed when it played, since she was very reserved at that time.
How you get that girl is.....not great. But really it's exacly what 2013/2014 Taylor would write, since she was still understanding what society was doing and how she could fight back.
Many people thought the vault track "slut!" would be this feminism anthem, but, like you, didn't add the context that this is 2014 Taylor we're talking about. Someone that thought Blank Space was the best she could do to stand up for herself. So when we listen to "slut" it's not really a surprise that's a love song.
Also I love you calling her out on her privillege on NY HAHAHHAHHAHAHA
Oh and about being relatable, I'm a 24yo woman, Brazilian (Sorry about any mistakes written) that can relate to this album, apart from the NY piece haha
And if it helps, Taylor herself is really tall, so the tall part in wildest dreams is because it's hard for her someone being "so tall"
You're right on about the production and the lyrics which is why this (and I feel "reputation" will also face this) will probably be the worst of the Talyor's versions. I think because her first four albums were more country and acoustic-based, hearing her mature vocals and mature self singing lyrics she had written when she was younger with added wisdom makes those TVs pop more (which is also why the more overproduced tracks on "Red (Taylor's Version) like "I Knew You Were Trouble" and "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" are the worst on that project).
I think sarcastic Swfit is cool in that it shows she can be publicly self-deprecating ("Blank Space"; "Shake It Off"; and a lot of "reputation"; and "Anti-Hero") but I think because she still holds back from going a full 100% (you can tell it's more that she's pretending to smile in order to appear like the critiques don't bother her or to take the high road; many have talked about Taylor's "victim complex") it doesn't fully land as well as they perhaps were intentioned to (though they are catchy as hell and a good listen).
And yeah, your line about "Welcome to New York" ("It's waiting for her, it's waiting for Bezos' kids, it's just not waiting for you") 100% spot on. "Welcome to New York" is very much someone who grew up in a small town yet has the money to move to New York and and live in Brooklyn or Manhattan and treat the place like it's the Emerald City whereas a lot of people living in poverty who rarely leave their boroughs wouldn't see NYC the same way. I agree that Taylor really begins to learn to stick this landing of marrying her larger than life lifestyle and persona with relatability in a pop context on "Lover" and the subseqent projects so we can't entirely fault her 24-year old self for not doing it 100% perfectly the first time lol
Favourite tracks on this project definitely are "This Love"; "Clean" and "Wonderland."
as a 26 y/o swiftie who has has been listening to her for more than half my life, and who honestly thinks 1989 is her worst album i actually smiled when i saw the title of this video because i knew you'd get why. I would definitely recommend the deluxe version though because those songs are better and saved the album for me tbh. AVAA
AVAA
the main difference between the 🛴 version and the tv is that Max Martin didn't come back to produce the songs he produced in the 🛴 version, and most of these songs sound worse, especially style.
you're not the first person to notice the lana del rey influences in this album especially in wildest dreams, the first person I ever heard notice that is the guy from the channel the swiftologyst.
I predicted the way you might've felt about this album anf not getting that blank space isn't biographical but satirical, and one of the reasons why it might happen that you will not get that reputation is partially a persona album.
1989 and reputation have in common that they aren't her best albums (not even her worst) but she needed them to shift the perception that the public had of her and without them all the other albums we had after wouldn't exist.
about eroticism in taylor's music the vaults of this album are full of that.
She says heartbreaker's gonna break not breakers gonna break lol. I suggest to look up the lyrics when listening.
Omg
Hilaaarious!! “It’s a great album. It’s my least favourite taylor swift album”
My motto about 1989 for the last 10 years 😂
And SEEE THE MOVVIIEEE ❤❤❤❤❤
oh, forgot to say this the other day - really hope you do listen to the original deluxe tracks. she has a song called "new romantics" which is a reference to the romantic movement, she has the collab with kendrick lamar, AND a song called "you are in love" which i think you'd enjoy based on things you've said about her music in the past.
Hi professor Skye, I don't think all your videos are awesome, nor do I think you're always being pretentious. I did love this Taylor review, particularly. As per usual, you raise some excellent points and your misheared lyrics are endearingly funny (although the Startbucks line is commonly misheard). I hope you do listen to the 2023 deluxe version, regardless of whether you reach 6K views. You've missed out on so many lyrical gems by skipping the OG deluxe songs, (one of which is called New Romantics, so a prof.Skye take on that should be interesting), and the vault songs. Not sure whether you'll like the Kendrick addition to Bad Blood; we, Swifties, are generally very fond of it.
do you mean harry style(s) - MR STYLE HIMSELF
13:49 yes. yes you are missing the taylor and kendrick collab (bad blood)
AVAA Totally unrelated but Cruel Summer(that deep cut from Lover) just hit number one on the charts becwuse the fans wanted it to be a hit. Name another artist that can do that. Also, the Kendrick Lamar remix of Bad Blood goes harder and is on the deluxe version of 1989 TV.
I really want the video to hit 6k views. Guys I want his vault tracks review, bcoz those tracks adds a lot of substance to the songwriting and story telling which is not in the standard album. It's just hits after hits album, as she wanted it to be bcoz people criticised her for having sonically diverse red and playing with pop sound in tracks like WANEGBAT 22 and IKYWT etc.
AVAA-this is probably one of the most fair analyses of 1989 that I’ve seen. It’s how I felt as a teenage fan in 2014 and how I feel now; it’s a good album, but it’s just blatantly sub-par compared to her more singer-songwriter instincts. Truthfully, I think it comes across as a disingenuous project for her, as you can hear how it’s more of a grab for universal, commercial acclaim than her previous work. But as you say, still an excellent pop album! It’s important to acknowledge that we can question its lyric quality AND still respect/enjoy the project.
Lol i would argue it was her best album until folklore
Oh same .. before folklore I used to say that red and 1989 are her best albums.
But then she released Folklore .
Yep!
Damn it dude check the lyrics. Brad pit classic... Starbucks lovers 😂 what's going on
They dated and this entire album is about him 😅. Starbucks =long list of. Brad Pitt = Red Lip
i think you’ll really like this batch of vault tracks. the production reeks of midnights, your fav.
39:30 a contributor on lyric genius points out that there’s another track on the album with the lyric “loose lips sink ships,” so it’s almost a callback where the wordplay is with lose and loose.
Also when I hear the word grip I tend to think of the people in charge of set-up, lighting, rigging, etc. on film sets; so a grip could be the thing keeping the ship’s rigging together, i.e. keeping the relationship from falling apart. The only problem is that ship crews don’t use the term grip for that role.
Wine-stained dress lyric has always made total sense Prof, I think your linguistic expertise got the better of you there! “Clean” is also my favorite Taylor Swift song though, so I might be biased. AVAA!
Nah I disagree with so many takes in this review. I think that you got lost in translation with this album especially with the story telling and with “the Taylor Swift Lore”
i knew 1989 was going to be sub par because the max martin tracks off Red were terrible...but it turned out being worse than i expected. but your reaction is not a comparison reaction...i have to know, is this video review satire?
AVAA. Was the "NEW YORK CITY" thing a refrence to the song Cowboy Nudes by Geese?
AVAA what a polarizing view on the pop bible😂😂 BUT see how i said pop bible and said nothing about how it ranks on Taylor's discography. Its not the best at keeping the Taylor Swift essence but because of my bias to pop it's in my top 3
She’s saying “star-crossed”, not “Starbucks” 😂 and “red lip,” not “Brad Pitt” 😭. Also I get what you’re saying about Blank Space, but it’s supposed to be a satire about what the media was portraying her as at the time. That might not be as apparent today if you weren’t following her career when 1989 was first released. Anyway, great video so far!! AVAA
It's actually "I've got a long list of ex-lovers" though a lot of people did initally think it was Starbucks lol
I hope you’ve considered submitting an abstract to Melbourne University’s forthcoming ‘Swiftposium’ - Feb, 11th - 13th, 2024.
I preferred her songs before the anthem rock period and loved her pandemic duo albums but snakes and reputation feuds were boring...
why does everyone like Style!! (Sorry I'm somewhat of a swiftie but I always argue about this song with my swiftie friends, was hoping someone would get it but I guess I'll have to keep looking for haters)
No it's her best. AVAA.
This is her most surface level album. I can totally understand why you like it least. I do love Reputation, I think you'll at least appreciate Rep more than 1989.
Please .. more important than the Beatles such a ridiculous statement.. stuff like this does get views , earns some money etc .. see the motivation..
for the "you're still all over me, like a wine-stained dress I can't wear anymore" lyric - I imagine her in her closet looking at a dress with a giant stain on it with the stain being SO noticeable, in fact, that she can't wear the dress anymore - its not just a little discreet stain; the "I can't wear anymore" lyric to me describes how bad the stain is (idk if this makes sense); and the bad stain on the dress represents the unfortunate hold she still feels for her past lover
I genuinely think this is her best re-record, I loved Red and I do not think she did Red (or Fearless) justice because of issues with some emotion not translating completely. 1989 is the only one that has either adequately matched the track production/vocals or elevated the production/vocals on every track.
If you’re talking about your understanding of her lyrics compared to before, I can understand it because she really tried to depersonalize her lyrics and reinvent herself with this album. She intentionally left off more specific story telling with this album.
Who’s gonna tell him tht what he wanted from how u get the girl is actually in blank space? 🤭
Not gonna lie the lack of a Reverend Kristin Michael Hayter review is kinda concerning.. Is it coming?
AVAA! Her worst is probably reputation tbh, can’t wait to be reminded of why that one hurts my soul when the remake comes out
I just revisited reputation and came back here to say I think you might like it better than 1989
You could get some of the original recording from garages or thrift stores I prefer the older recordings because she was still in the headspace of the songs so you notice that she relates to the material more and is more emotional singing so I'm of getting the old versions from garage sales, thrift stores, etc... And also the new versions because of the vault tracks and different versions of some of the songs
I’d answer that question with a question
Is Lover out of print or something?
Also, I totally get the issue with the wine-stained dress lyric😂That was my first reaction to it too. But it's one of those things I've let go of in the name of poetic license lol. Besides I get what she meant. I also like how it ties in with the addiction/sobriety themes
Bro I'm genuinely begging you to listen to the original version it is so much better
She says in Style
And I ger that red lip, classic thing that you like.
No, but the Tortured Poets Department is
I appreciate your honesty.
8:11 yes. they’ve been my two favorite artists for the past few years now
Bro talk about the pink navel record
AVAA- and thanks for shouts outs. There’s a few great records out that would love for you to listen to -
Kylie Minogue, Ken Carson, and Zach Bryan
Please listen to the vault tracks
23:06 omg 😭😭
AVAA. Looking forward to the vault tracks review :)
Taylor Swift is omnipotent at this moment. As a white guy in his mid 20s. Try to flirt with white woman and some of white gays. Yes I'm Bisexual. They keep me posted on Taylor lure . I listen to Folklore and evermore and Midnights. I think when wrap up of this doing her money grab phase of her career. Her next project be her best she hasn't scored about 80%- 88% from me. But I'm a Music nerd that listen to Perfume Genius and Bjork and Kate Bush.
AVAA (and maybe a little PVAA :P ) - I'll be posting a few comments because ADHD means if I wait to the end of the video I won't remember everything I wanted to say. your comments on the rap influences are really funny given that reputation, the next album she released, is by far the most influenced by rap and hip hop. she's always had some influence there, though - the tragic irony of the kanye-taylor thing is that college dropout was the first album she ever bought with her own money, and she was a huge fan of his before everything went down.
as other people have pointed out, blank space is satire - kind of important to know, since her next album reputation leaned HEAVILY into this type of satire. also quick notes on lyrics you misheard: "starbucks lovers" is "lost list of ex-lovers", "brad pitt classic" is actually "red-lipped classic", and "breakers gonna break" is "heartbreakers gonna break". alright, back to watching the video!
Completely get your point there. Personally, experiencing the transition from Speak Now to Red to this was hard for me. I found most the simple basic repeatative lyrics irritating and it took many many many listens for this album to grow on me. The exceptions were the slow songs like Clean and This Love which I have been obsessed with since the first listen. I like to say it'll never be my favorite album but it still has a couple of my all time favorite songs on it. IMHO part of the appeal fans have to this one comes from the lore of most of it being about Harry Styles who is like the male counterpart to Taylor. I can see if you're not a 20/30 something female that none of that would matter to you. Btw Rep is widely loved by swifties. It may have gotten mixed reviews by press but we adore it. Definitely my favorite album. I think you'll appreciate it as a better marrying of beats, rap-like cadences, and lyrics. Parts are a giant FU to Kanye/Kim (our girl loves getting revenge) but the rest is a love story disguised as a darker synth sound. It makes me feral. 😍 And that's coming from someone who deeply loves the folk albums too. Very curious what you'll think of it.
Red lip. Not Brad Pitt.
Long list of ex lovers. It does sound like Starbucks 😂 always did
AVNA? Drunk Taylor vmas? ❤ lost the plot - love you - welcome to New York ruins me every time and I LOVE IT ❤❤❤ social commentary re “everybody here was someone else before” - necessary important essential reason I run to your reviews 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Short Answer: Nah, Reputation is MUCH worst. But it has 'Bad Blood'; which is Top 5 of her worst songs.
Based on the title, I think he's going to be comparing the re-recordings to the originals, and 1989 is by far the worst of the Taylor's Versions.
The production and mixing on this one just seems off. It seems to be the general consensus when you get away from stan twitter. Not having Max Martin involved seemed to hurt every single song he produced.
@@DJKurohi'm a hardcore Swiftie but Style Taylor's version is honestly disappointing..the emotion in her voice is gone , the guitar riff at the beginning seems off , important details like " some other Girl "
" hmmm "
Are Different, the song in general sounds so off , the production is louder than her voice , it's just not the same ):
@Unknown-jf5sk A lot of fans were worried about this as the albums got newer and newer.
People also think that just because you're re-recording, you'll make "better" decisions when it's just as easy to completely mess up.
Unless something's changed recently, he hasn't listened to the original album. He only started listening intentionally to Taylor when Lover came out. He's liked every album so far, and since he's reviewing this album on the channel, I assume he also liked (bits of) this project. My guess is that he went in expecting more lyrically and was underwhelmed by songs like Bad Blood, Shake It Off, How You Get The Girl etc.? I love this channel, and I love Taylor's music/art very much. When a new Taylor review by professor Skye drops, I'm inevitably curious about his take, but also anxious about the things he'll get wrong this time. @@DJKuroh
@annaarampatzis1079 That's a good point! I definitely could see an argument from a songwriter's perspective and saying it's her worst lyrically (at this point in her career), but it's aided by unique and varied song concepts, stellar production, and overall effect on pop music trends as a whole.
I think saying anyone's musical take is "wrong" is a judgmental way of looking at anyone's musical opinion and is bound to end up with hurt feelings.
Was just at a Sheetz in Harrisburg, Pa, and they were playing Taylor Swift! AVAA
I adore your videos, you’re always so thoughtful and interesting, it just doesn’t compute on me that you like lover more than 1989 😅 respectfully
Another Starbucks lovers victim!!! BTW it's a satire about the media portrayal of her dating life. Anyway I think other swifties will explain it to you. I'm just having fun plus a bit tired. But AVAA
Sorry man! The AVAA I take that back. I love all your videos and I took all the criticism you had for speak now I agreed mostly and mostly I do with your opinions but this one just didn't. Sorry man. It wasn't a hit. The research was less the effort was less. By the end of video I really couldn't say AVAA. You missed a lot. Like a lottttt!! Some of your criticisms are valid and I agree with you that this is her going pop but not figured out yet the Taylor Swift definition of pop. She redefined pop songwriting in so many ways and this was the beginning. Definitely it's not the best of her pop work but honestly all it makes sense. This was her figuring out pop. (sadly the next is reputation that doesn't get better but lover is the actual next move) I think you need to sit with the album more. Bcoz tell me do u think Taylor after making an album like Red would do something mindless like this???
BTW the 5 vault tracks does get more personal and vulnerable..and slut might be what you thought you were gonna get in how you get the girl. So listen to slut
P S : u got blank space totally wrong and
fun fact the title is called style bcoz his name is mr. Styles.
also for what it's worth - in this love, "losing grip on sinking ships" is referencing i know places' line "loose lips sink ships all the damn time" - the album is full of little lyrical connections, as you've noticed with the car motif!
AAVA Prof. You've brought up football quite a bit so I was curious who you supported.
You should listen to Father John Misty cover tracks from this album in the style of Lou Reed.
New York City! Geese
Respect for not listening to scooter versions. The bummer is that the production is so much worse on TV :/
i think “you’re still all over me like a wine stained dress i can’t where anymore” is an arrow to the heart and one of her all time best lyrics, but maybe if you’ve never spilled wine on a dress or tried to get it out you it doesn’t resonate as much
The wine stains come up in other songs - the only way I’ve made sense of this is to imagine she left out all the middle hits which is that she’s IN the wine strained dress and has to keep wearing it (like at an event) but she’ll never be able to wear it again
Go change the speak now thumbnail now 😭😂 btw it's not her worst.
I agree I think I Know Places is the best, lyrically as well
AVAA!! Thanks!
Agreeeed!!!!
I rated every song from every album out of 5 and did the math and mathematically for me this is her worst ❤ her bests for me were tied between speak now and evermore ❤
AVAA!
AVAA
avaa
AVAA
avaa
I love 1989 and that’s all that matters to me.
Show us your dance moves !
if you've ever tried to peel a wine stained dress off your body, you understand that lyric down to your soul
Fair!
“New York Citay?!”
“Get a Rope”.
Gen X-er here! Totally got it.
AVAA
Something to know:
-Blank Space is satire. She wrote from the perspective of the person the media was portraying her as.
-Yes, there’s a Kendrick Lamar Bad Blood remix, and most consider it the superior version (I don’t particularly love either version).
-I need to hear your thoughts on the DLX track “New Romantics”.
wrong, Cowboy Nudes by Geese
She is correct! Pace Salsa commercials from the 90s ruined how I say Nee York City, though Geese also comes to mind!
It’s still nuts
Sorry man! The AVAA I take that back. I love all your videos and I took all the criticism you had for speak now I agreed mostly and mostly I do with your opinions but this one just didn't. Sorry man. It wasn't a hit. The research was less the effort was less. By the end of video I really couldn't say AVAA. You missed a lot. Like a lottttt!!

P S : u got blank space totally wrong and
fun fact the title is called style bcoz his name is mr. Styles.
Appreciate the thoughtful criticism.
I consider reputation better simply because it is not as monotone. Gorgeous, delicate, the title track, I did something bad, call it what you want. yes, it's an upgrade
I have the feeling that Slut is the song that Taylor wrote the most times in her life. Personally, that form of self-observation is definitely exhausted.
Either way I appreciate your thoughts. Would love to hear your thoughts about the bonus tracks & vault . They're pretty good I think. Some even better
Phew😅 finally a fan on my level - I will personally acknowledge that 1989 is a quintessential and excellent pop album - it has always been my LEAST favourite of a Taylor’s albums. Having said that - this re-record is SO exciting because her vocals make it more palatable than the original and I’m enjoying this so so much - it’s analogous to her songwriting in general - even her worst songs IMO aren’t “bad”’songs - they just aren’t good. I mean but 1989 is - really good…. 😅 😝

There is no such thing as a bad Taylor Swift album tbh. Each album in her discography have played their own significant role in order to catapult her into the level of success and praise that she rightfully deserves. There is a reason why 1989 is referred to as a pop bible, I mean 1989 is well on its way to sell a million copies TWICE. Ntm it is the most awarded pop album.
"Is there a single story-telling on this album?" I stopped watching when this got asked. Not worth it.
