    Reputation is personally my favorite album because of the R&B influences and showing a different side of Taylor. It should have received more recognition award wise but I can see how Lover is respected more because of the multiple topics discussed in a typical smart and clever Taylor lyric fashion but also visually.

      Dear, it's time to OFFICIALLY put the awards to rest as a metric of critical success or anything really, what with all the mess that's going on inside the house. And I say "officially" because awards shows have been disregarded by many for a while now because they don't reflect the impact nor critical significance of art.

    The new era is going to be vintage Taylor. Hear me out: She's going to be re-recording her early albums. Her instagram posts have a mid-century vintage vibe, with washed out filters, jewel tones, and neutrals. The furniture in The Man MV is all mid-century modern. She's hitting this late 60's, early 70's aesthetic hard. The rerecords will be rolling out, possibly detracting from any new music she puts out - it's not a great business model to pit yourself against yourself. So I think she's going to focus on those re-records, and that the next "era" is going to be a greatest hits era. We'll see the rerecords culminate in a 'singles' or 'top hits' or 'fan favorites' album, which she will promo using the same throwback aesthetic. I have a feeling too that we'll get some slight cottagecore out of her, as the emphasis of those early records was country - so, a return to her roots, coupled with a mid-century aesthetic, voila, Vintage Taylor.

    I understand why Taylor wanted ME! to be the lead single but in today’s time, people don’t really care about music unless it’s catchy and ME! wasn’t exactly mature and catchy enough. At this period,in the music industry, artists have to release songs that strike with the general public. Cruel Summer is a song that would be mature and catchy enough to get the gp’s attention.

      They did take it too seriously. They didn't get that it was tongue in cheek. Like so many reviewers mentioned that "I don't love the drama it loves me" line. That was clearly tongue in cheek and she was being ironic. People kill me. But Taylor will have the last laugh. Her whole catalog will live on forever. She protects and references her past song and that's why it's so sad she lot the catalog.

    Taylor may pull a Madonna. Madonna, in her late 40s, made one of the best selling dance albums, she was riding the wave strong until 2012. I feel like Taylor may be like that because of her fan base and how relatable she can come across. Taylor is a business women and knows what to do for promotion and she has some of the best connections with her fans, something others lack.

      But we see a decline coming from 1985 to lover. Lover isn't really impact full. It misses out on current trends.in fact it sounds like an album from 5 years ago. The strength of the albums just comes from her huge fanbase. The albums sound wasn't defining or indluencing very much. She's declining and that's obvious.

    • @simmy1251
      @simmy1251 4 года назад +61

      Julian K everyone’s going to dip and have an era or two that aren’t as impactful or groundbreaking, every artists has had one at some point and they’ve still recovered. Michael and Madonna, Mariah ext all had some albums that didn’t do well but they bounced back from reinventing. You can see that Taylor is likely going to change her sound up for her next album to a more indie pop sound which is something which is trendy and more with the current times. And she’s only “fading” because of the streaming era. If it wasn’t for old town road then me! Would of been a #1 and so would of you need to calm down. The era had 3 top 10 singles which is more successful than rep. If she didn’t put lover on streaming services she would of pulled similar sales to reputation. Her decline is because of the streaming era so she’s not really declining. Sales ,as a whole, are declining and she’s still up there with strong sales in a declining market. She’s still on top even when she’s declining. So I doubt her relevance is going anywhere

Her music always has been but it was refreshing to see her not always have to be "good". People are imperfect and it helped humanize her more in my eyes.

    Most artists are torn between quantity or quality. Some keep dropping okayish albums every 2 years and some take a long hiatus of 4-5 years but put out quality content. Taylor is the only artist in the game right now who’s dropping quality content without taking any breaks or hiatus. We have lover, folklore and evermore in a span of sixteen months and all three of them are her most acclaimed albums on metacritic with scores of 79, 88 and 85 respectively. Plus not many artists today can say that they’re on their 9th studio album at the age of 31. Heck not many artists have retained their relevancy at the 15th year of they’re career and still have stellar charts and sales performance along with breaking streaming records. On top of this her activism for the much needed reforms in the music industry is on point and by the end of this year she’ll be an artist who owns all of her masters after she finishes re-recording. She’s indeed a living legend no matter what you think of her

    I never listened to Taylor until her reputation era, I actually enjoyed that album. ME! Made me want to take a step back, but "you need to calm down" made me stay. I did appreciate her taking back her "reputation" and being see as the person who was telling the truth in the whole Kim and Kanye thing, which I don't know why people would believe people who lie about obvious surgery amongst other things. But I do appreciate her music. I've become a fan. Not STAN, but I do like her music. 😍

    I feel like Lover is a transitional era for Taylor in multiple ways. As well as shedding the dark aesthetic of reputation, Lover is Taylor’s first proper streaming era project. She needed to adapt. It’s done so well on streaming services while also selling huge pure numbers by modern standards. It’s set her up well for future releases. She’s now able to capitalise on sales and streams in a way most artists can’t.

    I actually think Taylor releasing ME! as a lead single is the biggest trump card in history.
    If you ask a 5 or 7 year old about 1 direction they won't know what is it but ME! Became very famous among that demographic and it was overplayed on radio Disney. Considering they will be the future of streaming as they will decide the relevance of future and present artists. At first I also thought that cruel summer should've been the lead single but it would've just made it more difficult for Taylor as the expectation would've increased but with ME! The opposite happened and the swifties like me underestimated the record and were blown away by it.

    I've enjoyed Taylor Swift since 2009 but this album gave me a massive amount of respect for her that I hadn't had before. It's a lyrical and thematic masterpiece and in my opinion is by far the most mature thing she had come out with up until that point. I listened to it regularly in late 2019 and still sometimes listen to it. It's kind of bittersweet in a sense; it came out towards the end of a much happier and more stable time and the world and the pensive yet optimistic tone of the album really reflects that. I think this album will be far more revered with the context of history.

      Interesting! With Lover Fest delayed, and "The Man" releasing further away from "Lover" (title track) as opposed to the other single release rollout, I think it *could* be possible we'd see another single - and that the era isn't over yet. With "Lover" having 18 tracks, and Taylor's concert setlists usually sitting around 15 - 18 total songs, I don't think we'd see a new record until Lover Fest wraps. I project TS8 will be out in 2022 to be honest - a three year cycle comparative of "1989" to "rep". I would say TS8 would release 2021, but with Lover Fest being pushed back - I don't know if I can bank on that idea. And I believe. she began her sessions for "Lover" in December of 2019.

Up to that point she was pushing an album every other year. Kimye derailed whatever that album might have been. She writes all the time; but in an interview, she said that most of the songs that end up in the album are from the last 6 months prior to release. Sometimes, if she likes a song anyway (but it doesn't fit or is too similar) she will gift it to someone else (like Babe, or Better Man), but mostly they just stay in the unused song pile.

    Taylor Swift is so successful because she actually engages with her fans, she actually cares for them. They all love and care for her too.

    I like Lover, more than the other singles. I don't like Me! but it has a nice message. Also, it's good to know you're part of the lgbt community too 😊

    I still remember in middle when her song "tears drops on my guitar" first came out it was the first time I listened to country and loved her song writing. Been amazing seeing how she has evolved since then.

    Honestly ME! is just not a very good song in general let alone as a lead single, it honestly feels too gimmicky and almost like a parody. I get that Taylor likes releasing catchy and anthemic lead singles that don't necessarily represent the entire album as a whole but ME! just felt too forced. Also I feel like Lover the album has a lot of really amazing bridges and some of my personal favorites from Taylor's entire discography but ME! doesn't even have that goings for it.

      Pop Dissected I think it would interesting to do a video on 4. Many people think that was the beginning of her growth into the artist she is today. Or B’Day, I don’t know how many breakdowns I’ve seen of that era.
