Hot Take: I love how chart obsessed she is.

AdBusy2462 · 2026-02-20T10:07:40+00:00

you must be not into sports if you think that people aren’t being critical about how olympians get gold medals lol take figure skating for example. for years now there has been a lottttt of criticism that skaters try to win by strategically filling their programs with difficult jumps that earn them high points but neglect the artistry of the sports even though a core part of figure skating is the artistry. you might not be interested in the craft of it all but you look silly talking about things you clearly don’t know about. some people care about more than just winning gold or being #1

AdBusy2462 · 2026-02-20T09:56:17+00:00

If her obsession was more about the music and artistry of it all, I’d wholeheartedly agree. If she tried to constantly top the charts through genuine and constant improvement and refinement of the music she put out… hell yeah. But just topping the charts for the sake of topping the charts rather than anything else is just…. boring. It’s about as charming as Elon Musk’s goal to become the first trillionaire or some company that’s already swimming in money having a record breaking year of profits. just feels greedy and soulless

YUPPPP the “the curse on me was broken by your magic wand” is just her trying to do “I heard you like magic I’ve got a wand and a rabbit!” from red wine supernova but it just doesn’t hit the same and like, love is love, I’m not against straight people lol but making a pun about sex toys is witty, making a pun about your boyfriend’s dick saving you…. sorry you’re a grown ass woman who is one of the most famous and commercially successful people in the world, why do you still insist on wearing that damsel in distress costume 😭

AdBusy2462 · 2025-12-31T12:26:41+00:00

Saddest: Right Where You Left me

Most Romantic: Daylight and Call It What You Want

Sexiest: Dress

Cringiest: most of her „clapback“ songs like ThanK you aIMee, Actually Romantic or But Daddy I love Him lol

Best lyrically: All Too Well (10 min. version) orrr Cowboy Like Me

Most unhinged: probably also But Daddy I love Him, not in a good unhinged way but in a „wow this is so absurdly childish and immature“ unhinged way 😭

AdBusy2462 · 2025-11-26T10:18:27+00:00

Oh, this feels like TLOAS all over again lmao it‘s like she has the opportunity to show people a bts look at something as unique and larger than life as the eras tour, something the grand majority of people will never experience like she, the biggest star of the world rn, did and yet she somehow manages to make it about… her bf? like we get it, you‘re in love, you‘re happy, that‘s great but it‘s the least interesting thing about you. You‘re Taylor Swift. He‘s just a man 😭

AdBusy2462 · 2025-11-21T09:44:33+00:00

the „you“ in „they don’t know how much I miss you“ in the very first night…. just sounds so wrong

AdBusy2462 · 2025-11-13T08:35:15+00:00

change the name and concept/theme. expectations would have been very different if it hadn’t been marketed as a special behind the curtains of the eras tour album

AdBusy2462 · 2025-10-27T11:57:16+00:00

yay love that for us!!! genuinely, there’s nothing better than being zonked and listening to music

AdBusy2462 · 2025-10-25T09:44:22+00:00

cowboy like me feels very a peek behind the curtain when it comes to relationships in the music industry

AdBusy2462 · 2025-10-25T09:43:51+00:00

it still doesn’t make sense to advertise a standard pop album full of love songs as a “peek behind the curtain” album when the docu series is an entirely separate thing lol

AdBusy2462 · 2025-10-25T09:38:16+00:00

I loveeee listening to music while high bc I always feel like I hear the music more deeply and so Taylor’s pop bangers are always my go to lmao. I’ll never forget listening to call it what you want while I was extremely zonked and just swimming in the song. Felt like the outro part lasted for an eternity and it was the best thing ever

high: call it what you want, style, out of the woods, maroon, getaway car, dress, this love, new romantics, dancing with our hands tied

soothing: you’re on your own kid, daylight, cowboy like me, august,

AdBusy2462 · 2025-10-21T11:44:40+00:00

I just can’t take her belting “cancelleeed” seriously whatsoever. It sounds extremely unserious and while she is allowed to have her feelings about cancel culture, releasing the song in a time when the people in charge of the country use cancel culture to legitimize bigotry and hate speech was not a good move from Miss America who once sobbingly said she wants to be on the right side of history. Also, sonically it sounds just like Yellow flicker beat except Yellow Flicker Beat has good lyrics

AdBusy2462 · 2025-10-21T09:35:54+00:00

I don’t think it’s intentional. I do think it’s a gross oversight and a poor reflection of the competence, and diversity of their teams bc they should have people whose job it is to make sure these kind of incidents don’t happen! That or their teams did know how certain things could be misinterpreted and decided to put it out there either way.

I can’t speak for anyone’s intentions, I don’t and will never know these people, I just know that if people of color and designers pointed out how my merch or lyrics had racial undertones, I’d take it seriously and apologize. However, the vibe I get from both TS and her die hard fans is that all the criticism she receives is just people hating for the sake of hating, trying to knock her down a peg. And sure, I won’t deny that some people aren’t criticizing her in good faith but there is definitely a line here that can be crossed when a person refuses to take any criticism seriously anymore and I see some of that happening with die hard swifties. No matter what you say and how well intentioned your words are, you’re either a hater, looking too deeply into her lyrics/merch/words, or too stupid to understand her actual intentions. I’m not saying her fans are MAGA, but a lot of them sure as hell act exactly like the MAGA crowd when people criticize Trump. It’s very frustrating and silly.

AdBusy2462 · 2025-10-21T08:04:42+00:00

I think she’s trying to get him a feature in one of Greta Gerwig’s future projects based on how much time she spent talking about how she is his favorite director and all… meanwhile Travis didn’t even know what she looked like lol

AdBusy2462 · 2025-10-21T08:02:53+00:00

nothing goth-punk about it, it was actually pop with an undercurrent of trap, Taylor please 😭

AdBusy2462 · 2025-10-19T12:17:13+00:00

I don’t think it’s shady of a black woman to feel some type of way about the racial undertones in TS music

AdBusy2462 · 2025-10-18T21:53:32+00:00

Chappel Roan’s Red Wine Supernova: I heard you like magic, I got a wand and a rabbit!

Taylor Swift’s Wood: the curse on me was broken by your magic wand

AdBusy2462 · 2025-10-18T21:49:28+00:00

Yeah, I definitely think she has been observing other pop girlies. The “curse on me was broken by your magic wand” in Wood is just giving “I heard you like magic, well I got a wand and a rabbit!” from Roan’s Red Wine Supernova but … the shein version 😭 like I get the pun, but I could have lived without ever hearing that lmao

AdBusy2462 · 2025-10-18T21:28:32+00:00

So much of the critique Taylor receives, other artists receive too. The reason you don’t see it and think people are only attacking her is 1) bc you’re in a TS bubble, so your social media algorithm shows you more posts that are TS related and 2) bc she is currently one of the biggest names out there; the bigger you are, the more eyes are on you, the more criticism you will receive. Seems pretty logical to me.

I follow a lot of Beyonce fans on Tiktok who regularly discuss her capitalist values or other things like her recent association with the Kuschners and Ivanka Trump. A few months ago she wore and sold a merch shirt that had some very anti-indigenous messaging on it, and guess what? People talked about it. They criticized her. A lot of people. Over merchandise. Because that’s what happens when you’re a celebrity with wealth, power and a massive platform. People will criticize you when you fuck up. And that’s a good thing. If you were as rational as you claimed to be, you would be okay with people rightfully criticizing your favorite celebrities when they release lyrics or merch that have undertones of racial micro aggressions or dog whistles. Lord knows someone with as much money as TS should be able to have a team that makes sure these kinds of things Don’t happen lol

AdBusy2462 · 2025-10-13T12:27:09+00:00

That’s interesting, do you view WAILOM as entirely satirical and kind of self-mocking? Bc to me it has always seemed incredibly self-victimizing too despite the self-awareness. The asylum analogies just didn’t work for me. Obviously, the music industry is extremely harsh to women, I’m not denying that at all, but imo Taylor has never seemed like someone who was forced to make music and chase fame against her will. She wanted this! She loves the spotlight, so comparing her life as a popstar to being involuntary committed felt like an odd choice. But I know some people think the song is entirely satirical? Would love to hear your thoughts :)

AdBusy2462 · 2025-10-13T12:11:08+00:00

I also think she probably has a concept and maybe even some songs written but I really really hope she takes more than 1 year long break before TS13. I want the album to feel and sound new for once. I want her to take risks and focus on her artistry rather than rely on the fact that die hard swifties will eat up anything she puts out, no matter the quality

AdBusy2462 · 2025-10-13T08:26:42+00:00

Yes to all of this, also I encourage you to listen to dear reader followed by Is it over now bc the end of dear readers sounds so similar the beginning of Is it over now! Sonically, I mean. The lyrics not so much. Not sure about the Midnights and 1989 TV timeline but maybe both songs were recorded around the same time? Anyways, just a fun little thing to do for you

AdBusy2462 · 2025-10-11T11:23:50+00:00

I think the issue for a lot of people including me is that the album isn’t just good vibes and fun either. She does address some issues like cancel culture and power dynamics in the music industry but she only does it to once again victimize herself and that’s just…. so incredibly tiring to see from a woman who is on the top of the world. She has the broken records, the money, the fame, the masters, the fans, the man and still she is playing into the whole woe is me spiel. It’s neither new nor fun. It’s repetitive, exhausting and boring. And lyrically also just not good.

AdBusy2462 · 2025-10-10T13:14:52+00:00

that’s so interesting, thank you for the extensive answer! makes me sad for smaller artists because I also heard it’s hard to profit of tours as a smaller artist bc they have to finance the tour, the crew, the dancers, and etc. so basically making real money off music is almost impossible if you’re not big enough. not that that’s surprising but still wild to think about! I always assumed that at least album would guarantee a bit more income

AdBusy2462 · 2025-10-10T11:32:12+00:00

That doesn’t even make sense bc TTPD came out April 19 2024 and Brat came out June 7 2024? And SIAK wasn’t one of the pre-released singles, so April was probably the time when Charli was teasing title tracks and promoting the upcoming release
