An ex Swiftie here, loved the video babe. I have been a swiftie since 2011 and that slowly came to a screeching halt recently. Our Taylor, I believe is a manipulator as in SHE IS ALWAYS AND ALWAYS THE VICTIM IN EVERY SITUATION. She can't just move on. She has to send her swiftie mob via her songs to dox and harass people who've wronged her. Suing a kid for tracking her flight pattern was so low and dragging Kim's kid now to get a reaction out of her is downright evil and so very feminist of her and brand of women supporting other women. How would she have felt if her child was dragged in for a f*cking drama that happened a decade ago, like move on, get a life. When something affects her directly then she will chew them down send her mob dogs their way then why oh why in Miss Americana she said she'll be more vocal and what not and be on the right side of history, where is that spirit when its the case of g*nocide in gaza? Our queen Taylor is a selective activist and a f*cking hypocrite. She's vindictive and calculative as in the song Mastermind. She's a businesswoman first and artist second like was ripping Olivia Rodrigo that necessary where Cruel Summer(one of my favs) doesn't even sound like Deja Vu(another of my favs) like you want to copyright yelling in songs? Then touring with Sabrina Carpenter(whom Olivia had beef with but I love Sabrina nonetheless) and Paramore (who didn't even wanted to take revenue of Good for You from Olivia) I always wondered why Taylor was friends with Selena Gomez who is also ALWAYS A VICTIM and can't move on from Justin and sends her seleanators Hailey's way to harass her five years after Hailey and Justin got married like beech act your age, you are so problematic always bringing up Justin and Selena drama to sell your songs where Justin can sell Yummy🤷🏻♀️ and no drama is required. I have been fed the Taylor drama and Selena drama all my life and I want to move on. I will keep listening to my favs from both of these artists for the sense of nostalgia but that's it I've enough of their punching other people down.

Taylor: profits off of making songs she knows people know are about specific people, some resulting in death threats, doxxing and harassment. Some contain details about THEIR personal lives and character, some bordering on defamation. Deliberately cultivates a culture of speculation about IRL events for marketing and fanbase purposes. Makes most of her relationships, like Travis Kelce, very public. Weaponizes lyrics against people she thinks wronged her.
I've tried to like Taylor Swift. There are some old songs I like, but there is something about her that won't let me be a real fan. I can't put my finger on it as to why, but I know at some point, whatever it is, will come to light. Maybe it's the way she handles criticism. She won't allow it as if to do so would break open a dam that would take her down.
Its hilarious how the culty swifties are “bitching and moaning” in ur comment section. Ur review is legit its only the r/im14thisisdeep kids who LOVE this album. This was a huge downgrade for Taylor and i say this as a swiftie
It is giving Drake vibes. Anything she releases will sell no matter the quality.
I generally love Taylor Swift's music. Spotify says I'm in the top 1% of listeners if that says anything. I don't care about her relationships until the men involved in them become characters in her songs. This album makes me feel like I've failed because I can't relate to or understand these songs from her perspective at all. I suppose I didn't do the homework but when did it become expected to study before a T.S. album releases?
I haven’t watched the video, but as a swiftie I agree. I bought the damn limited edition CD just for the bonus track (sometimes she releases the bonus track once and never again), and then she released the anthology with those bonus track??? Seriously Taylor?
Fearless until Reputation + folklore and evermore will probably always be her best. I don’t think she can make better and more authentic albums at this stage of her life and success. Her time is coming to an end sooner than we anticipated.
I really love this video and I appreciate your willingness to call these things out! I love Taylor, but as fans we should be allowed to criticize her. I just posted a video talking about similar topics to yours and I faced sooo much backlash from Swifties. I didn't even hate the album! I actually think the Anthology side is much better than the main album. The marketing around this sub-par album is just kind of icky to me though with selling four different versions of the vinyl and the lack luster merch. Great job on this video though, you deserve more subs!
I like Taylor Swift in the same way many men like the NFL, it's fluff entertainment I try to not look too closely at. So therefore, while I'm a fan, I welcome critique, because the more people at the party, the more fun! I think any group that takes a stance of 'just because I like it, it can't be critiqued' are the true villains.
This was a very good, sober analysis.
Thank you for making this video! ❤
Imo Sour is a phenomenal album about heartbreak, growing up, transitions. It has some edge but also introspection. TTPD is just cringe. Someone said compare Lemonade which Beyoncé released when she was around the same age as Taylor Swift is now. Lemonade is mature, creative, daring. TTPD is navel gazing and immature.
I agree with some of the critiques, others I think it's just a superficial read of some of the songs... All the album critiques online compiled in a video
Tbh, I'm low-key a swiftie & I was a bit disappointed in the album at first too. I don't know what I was expecting but the music felt a bit bland compared to her past work imo. I've always been a "more into lyrics than beats" person but still it didn't quite hit the mark for me. But then I listened to some songs again & they grew on me. I had instantly liked ICDIWABH for both beats and lyrics, much to my relief because I was panicking inside like 'oh no I'm a swiftie & I don't like anything on this album'. I grew to like Fortnight (tho I really wanted more Post Malone). So Long London was emotional & I like it too. Love Down Bad! Also really like loml & ttpd. So far the other songs didn't sound like ones I'd actually listen to. I think it's fine tho, it's very rare that we listen to all the songs in an album anyway. I'm still not entirely sure how I feel about the album as a whole but I don't completely hate it. This video made some good points but she sounded like she was mostly trying to pick on Taylor by quoting the most stupid lyrics on the most stupid songs. It's okay to do that but atleast give credit to the songs that's actually good too.
Okay, let me put what I am thinking this way:
So, swiftie here, went to reputation stadium tour , been a fan since RED. I agree with most things said in this video. Even tho i consider TTPD a personal favorite, just bc she projects in her songs how raw and rough is the depression she is facing. And since im experiencing same feelings rn cause of mental illness , i have someone to relate to.
I agree, it’s all about the 🤑
