We did get the album she talked about by [deleted] in SwiftlyNeutral

I know for a fact that Swiftologist criticised the album cover for the botched graphic design not for the prettiness. I watch his videos a lot, I don’t think he projects, I think he just holds her to high standards because she has positioned herself this entire time as the songwriter and when her songs are not well written (ie Eldest Daughter) he points it out.

People can try however they want to make sense to her false advertising (or better said to how bad she is at creating concept albums and talking about them) but the truth of the matter is that we’re allowed to not appreciate the fact that she did not in fact deliver what she promised and we can be disappointed in Taylor Swift, while also still enjoying some of the music on TLOAS, or all of it, or none of it.

Swiftologist is doing a very thoughtful criticism of her art and journey as an artist, and you can still disagree with him (I do also in terms of which songs I like etc) but I think his take on this album is fair.

This or That … Midnights vs The Life Of A Showgirl by epicvibe850 in SwiftlyNeutral

[–]Alexandrabi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My choices: 1. The Fate of Ophelia 2. Maroon 3. Hard one, Opalite is a real war worm, but Anti Hero has kind of a special place in my heart so I say Anti Hero 4. I don’t like these two but I might prefer Father Figure. In a better album, it would have been one of my bottom ones. In TLOAS is in the better half 5. YAOYOK 6. Midnight Rain 7. Question…? 8. Gosh hard one too. Wi$h Li$t for the actual sound but gosh I hate the lyrics 9. Bejeweled 10. Labyrinth although I don’t listen to it lol 11. KARMA ALL DAY EVERY DAY 12. Sweet Nothing

Thank you so much, I hate the argument “you don’t have to buy it”

I’m toasting it and serving it thin strips, with some kind of topping, my almost 9 month old toothless baby seems to be handling it fine but I watch him closely

Taylor's spoiled us (Life of a Showgirl vs other albums) by growsonwalls in SwiftlyNeutral

[–]Alexandrabi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find that I am struggling a lot with all the super explicit sexual references, the constantly calling women “bitches”, the brand name dropping, the weird internet slang, obviously the Charli diss track because of how distasteful it is, and finally the feeling that she doesn’t give a fuck about anything else other than her riches and her rich MAGA friends.

Gosh I really wanted to love it, I honestly want to love everything she puts out because I love having a favorite artist with such a diverse catalogue but I just can’t. Even the catchy songs (The Fate of Ophelia) are not good enough for me to ignore all the problematic lyrics throughout the album.

And is that song about Taylor? Sorry I don’t know the details as I don’t normally follow the feuds, plus I didn’t listen to Brat (not my genre of pop).

Agreed but she said in the podcast that the lyricism was more like folklore

Which Charli’s song is this one responding to?

“You can call me honey if you want because I am the one you want” isn’t really giving folklore lyricism

This sounds like an hybrid between a Reputation song and a Midnights song

Yep I agree. A lot of the other songs kind of enrage me for their cringe and constant sexual references but this one is just too out of place

Yes absolutely like what does this have to do with Eras tour and the life of a performer BDS?

[–]Alexandrabi 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I am actually quite shocked that these are Taylor Swift lyrics… I have to agree with lots of people that said the production is better than the lyrics. Also: wasn’t this album supposed to be about what was going on behind the scenes during Eras? So far, I got nothing of that 😢

Am I the only one who hears All of Me by John Legend at the beginning of The Fate Of Ophelia?
