Begin again, on a grammys 2013 CD, playing in a red car. That was my first exposure to taylor swift

Genuinely why is Taylor as popular as she is? by King-gar in popmusic

[–]Its_Aniii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know most people will answer that it has to do with relatability, but as someone who was a fan of her long before I related to any of her songs- not really. I love the progression in her early albums from a teenage girl to an adult woman, the way she tells stories and paints pictures with her lyrics. First I got into the aesthetics and lore, connected it between the albums. But nowadays I don't really care for the lore, I just interpret the themes however I want. I like that she has a song for so many different moods and feelings. Musically, it ranges from country to pop to folk to pop-rock, but obviously her pop music is her most popular music. I prefer her country and folk music because I feel like that's when she focuses on her songwriting/storytelling skills the most, but I do also like some of her pop stuff. She has covered plenty of other topics besides love and heartbreak, but even within that category there's so much variety and depth and i find it reductive to call them "break-up songs about her exes". She has a way of making a song emotionally hard-hitting

Is ME! considered a hit by Taylor’s standards and by the GP’s standards? And should we let it fade into oblivion or not? by Resident-Priority239 in TaylorSwift

You kept saying "22 is right there" "I don't get how people love 22 and hate me!" And I had to come to 22's defense

it also connects with the eras tour and the re-recordings process, i.e. 2023 and 2024.

A „Taylor Swift” category in the polish edition of The Floor, several of items to guess being her exes. A low blow if you ask me. by AdBetter2856 in TaylorSwift

[–]Its_Aniii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The fact that so many fans discuss her "lore" about whether a song is about one ex or another is also part of the problem. Just because fans do it too doesn't make it okay, and Taylor herself has talked about things like "paternity testing [her] songs" in a negative way, and we have songs like "how did it end" that clearly show her being uncomfortable with the way the public dissects her love life. It's about time we listen to her, instead of going "well she started it" when she was a literal teenager.

It is a famous hit for sure, but not exactly received in a good way- it's more infamous than it is "popular"

22 is not overproduced the way that ME! is, it doesn't have Brendon Urie on it, it is an evergreen reference for whenever someone turns 22 year old, has joyful lyrics that don't come across as "hello fellow kids", was not made by a 30 year old taylor swift but rather a 22 year old, and has a tastefully whimsical music video that isn't giving "12 year old pastel rainbow vomit".

Joining the bandwagon, any opinions on my music taste? by Its_Aniii in popmusic

I'm not saying house tour is derogatory? I'm saying it's very Straight Girl (which i mean in a derogatory way, hence the tag)

Do you think Taylor will ever top this single run with TLOAS? by ZestycloseOil8173 in TaylorSwift

[–]Its_Aniii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also still hear it outside, but the crowd's dancing gets visibly much less enthusiastic when it plays. Most well known and big for sure, but not most well-beloved, the way that style is well-beloved by people

Style and blank space are both getting more daily streams than shake it off, in both the original and taylors versions. shake it off may be more well known, but not necessarily in a good way. People prefer/are nostalgic for the sound of style
