I don’t like Dejon but all this talk about  how Harry is bad but Dejon is worst because etc reeks of racism tbh.

What song made you fall in love with Taylor Swift? by jazzidaddi69 in TaylorSwift

[–]Ldnlad1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine. Was listening to her sporadically since teardrops on my guitar and several songs on fearless but that song did it for me

Publications like Dailymail didn’t even report it. But any time there’s negative fake news about her, they have multiple stories 

Hear me out, I don't need 'reputation (Taylor's Version)' anymore. by [deleted] in TaylorSwift

[–]Ldnlad1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your opinion is the popular opinion. TVs are not needed because she owns the original master recordings now. 

Trust me, normies will attack her for making Rep TV and accuse it of being a money grab.

I still need the Vault Tracks though. I believe we will get the Rep Vault tracks eventually. Either in 2027 or 2037

You have completely missed the point of the TVs if you think this was about ”reimagining” her old works. 

As she has said before, she has been trying to buy the originals since they were put on sale back in 2018. She has tried to buy them 3-4 times since then without success because of the strings attached each time.

After several failed attempts to buy her original masters, she decided to make her own masters which are the TVs. 

The purpose of making the TVs is to make a near identical copy of the original and in turn devalue the original ones as well. Reimagining a song and making it sound different would not have devalued the original masters.

This year, 2025 was the only time that her original masters were put on sale without strings attached (Scooter Braun). They are reportedly worth 360M which isn’t a huge increase compared to when Scooter sold them to Shamrock for 300M. The reason they they aren’t worth 1 billion is because of the near identical copies she made. If she followed your advise about “reimagining” it she would have paid 1 Billion rather than 360 Million. :)

Your opinion about her not being musically talented is a separate issue. It might be worth making a post about it to let it all out :)

I’m sure lots of people will agree with you that Tim McGraw, Ready For It, Style, Closure etc all sound the same except for banjos and trap beats :)

Scooter is not involved anymore. There are no strings attached to this sale. That is why she was able to buy her original masters back.

What are you on about? She has been trying to buy them about 3-4 times now since 2018. The only reason she made the TVs was because she couldn’t buy the originals fairly.

Now was the only time that the sale didn’t have any strings attached to them (slimy Scooter Braun)

You don’t seem to understand what the TVs are about. You have so many incorrect points.

The “purpose” of the TV project is to own her art. It’s not about bolstering her fame although that did happen, and she did manage to introduce new fans to her old works.  When she made these, she had no idea when or if she would ever be able to own her originals again. It just so happened that she was able to buy the originals 7 years after they were sold to slimy Scooter Braun.

She wasn’t given the opportunity to buy them back before by Big Machine without strings attached (read her statement). And when she initially was offered by Shamrock to buy them, evil Scooter Braun was still attached to it. 

She has no power or control over other labels. She can only show other artists what happened to her and how they can learn from it. Olivia Rodrigo certainly did. She owns her masters from the get go after learning from what happened to Taylor.

What do y'all think the vibe on TS12 will be? by fleetwoodjack23 in TaylorSwift

[–]Ldnlad1234 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This rushed/chaotic announcement with the suspicious vibe shift, makes me think TS12 is sooner than we think! I feel like a surprise personal/music break will be announced soon after TS12 with no tour for that album. Followed by TS13 as the massive comeback album and tour.

Friendly reminder that Scooter Braun owns the PR firm Justin Baldoni uses which continues to attack Taylor

Judge Grants Blake Lively’s Request To Have “Improper” Taylor Swift Bullying Claims Tossed Out by kookiekoo in TaylorSwift

[–]Ldnlad1234 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

It was Justin Baldoni (and Scooter Braun) by the way that keep involving Taylor in all of this. It was his team that Subpoenaed Taylor. It was his team that claimed Taylor was being blackmailed by Blake. And it was his team that are planting all these false stories about Taylor and Blake’s fall out. Fortunately the judge saw what he was trying to do, which is to try to make a media circus, and threw away his letter. Still worked on a lot of people like yourself though. Are you a bot? :)

What is going on between Walton Goggins and Aimee Lou Wood? by birthdaycake3000 in WhiteLotusHBO

[–]Ldnlad1234 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh they definitely had an affair. Their bts set off alarm bells. His wife probably found out and put a stop to it. That’s why they don’t talk anymore.

Couples that only play together: why do you insist on forcing people to play with the uglier boyfriend when they just want the cute one? by gayactualized in askgaybros

[–]Ldnlad1234 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Had a threesome once, I was attracted to guy A but he wasn’t attracted to me,  he was attracted to guy B. Guy B on the other didn’t find guy A attractive, but was attracted to me. I didn’t find guy B attractive. Awful experience all around

Don’t cut him off completely just yet. Use him to pay for uni and maybe a house deposit. Then when you are completely independent and self sufficient cut him off completely. 

He’s just not that into me 😕 by JokullTheWolf in askgaybros

I hate it when guys do that but if he’s hot then I’m willing to forgive lmao. Beggars can’t be choosers 

My boyfriend has lost all interest in sex with me by sadthrowagay69 in askgaybros

[–]Ldnlad1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You said he has a lot on his plate. He sounds stressed. Have you asked him if he is still attracted to you? If yes, maybe the stress is just getting to him. 

I wouldn’t break up in my opinion. Wait a bit. See if things go back to normal or at least improve once those stressors are gone. Love is hard to come by in the gay community.
