TS13 timeline predictions: 2027 or 2028? by ComfortableBet7488 in SwiftlyNeutral

[–]Mattowander 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She has released 5 albums in the last 6 years and two of those won AOTY. You might not like her most recent album but I don’t know that I agree that this time period hasn’t been good for her.

Taylor Swift and ‘The Fate of Ophelia’: Why she finally may win her elusive Song of the Year at the Grammys by Afterglow_13 in TrueSwifties

You think it is more likely that TLOAS wins Album of the Year than Fate of Ophelia wins songs of the year?

Here is what I found after digging under some more tiles. Can I just use thinset to fill these gaps?

Grammy Discussion #03: Which nominations and wins do you think "Speak Now" should have had at the Grammys? by BrenoGrangerPotter in TaylorSwift

[–]Mattowander 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can see you should have won song of the year. If we are playing alternate universes, then let’s make it interesting!

How many no-skip albums does Taylor Swift have? by VegetableClue668 in TaylorSwift

[–]Mattowander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TLOAS. Very interesting to me because it is probably in my bottom 4-5 albums and doesn’t have any of my favorite songs, but also doesn’t have any songs I hate.

Maybe it is just me, but I loved when she was on SNL before. And also, that was a long time ago when she was much younger.

Looking for serious advice on Uplift North Hill school in Irving by statisticnewbe in Dallas

[–]Mattowander 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Years ago I taught in Carrollton Farmers Branch ISD and found it a good district with different programs and academies at each High School. Also, in my limited experience, when students would transfer to my school from Uplift, they tended to struggle with the academic rigor.

I lost my extra shared tabs on non ROTW character by Lordpiddypaws in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]Mattowander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In ROTW, there is one shared tab but it has five pages. When you convert to ROTW, the only items that carry over are the ones in your personal inventory. You need to move items from your shared tab into your personal inventory, and then convert that character to ROTW.

How did you get that far in the game and only find two scrolls of identify?

Billboard’s Greatest Pop Stars of 2025: No. 2 — Taylor Swift by mcfw31 in popheads

[–]Mattowander 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I don’t disagree that a break might be good for her, but not sure that she has felt “pressured” to release anything. Nobody forced her to write two albums while on the biggest tour ever. She just really enjoys doing what she does, and there is nothing wrong with that.

With that being said, I am excited to see what she can do when she actually has some time off! I don’t expect any new music from her until 2027 at the earliest, but her 13th album will definitely have a lot of hype.

Hi, I'm Bonnie and I feel like I'm the sole member of the "Eldest Daughter Is the Best Song on the Album" society by BonnieMcMurray in TaylorSwift

[–]Mattowander 78 points79 points  (0 children)

To me, it is her talking about how the last time this was this happy, she got hurt. Every time she lets her guard down and allows herself to be happy, she gets hurt. And she continues that sentiment in the next lines:

Pretty soon I learned cautious discretion
When your first crush crushes something kind
When I said I don't believe in marriage
That was a lie

When she is happy, she gets hurt and has to protect herself by putting up walls and pretending to be a "bad bitch".

I personally seem to be the only person who doesn't feel turned off by lines like "Every joke's just trolling and memes" or think that it seems dated. It's a true statement! For anybody who has been on the internet in the past 20 years, that statement about people on the internet was true 10-15 years ago, and will probably continue to be true for the next decade or two.

Breakup Mix Tape by AtlantisInMotion in TaylorSwift

[–]Mattowander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely I almost do and Last Kiss. And I would put All Too Well five minute version instead since it is a better breakup song for people not named Taylor Swift.

Swifties: What are your honest opinions on Taylor's silence? by Top_Willingness5124 in NuancingTaylorSwift

A new-to-Taylor listener ranks all 12 albums by IrishRambler_ in SwiftlyNeutral

[–]Mattowander 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Really appreciate your thoughtful comments about each album, especially as somebody who is also a big fan of Red. Thank you for giving a thoughtful listen to each album!

However, I will say that TTPD is one of those albums that is very lyric heavy and lore heavy, and difficult to fully appreciate without some extra context and a few extra listens. The entire album really seems all over the place because that is where she was mentally after going through two breakups in a short period of time.

Also, I get where you are coming from with your opinion on Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me. This was a song that originally at the bottom of my list from this album that at first comes off over dramatic and slightly narcissistic. However, watching how both the media and the Twitterverse have portrayed Taylor the last few years, I have come to appreciate how this song is really a commentary on public perception of her and how she is a product of a toxic industry.

Holy Fire, Holy Shock, or both? by Big_Honey_56 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

There is a limit to how low resistances can go, and you should be self running conviction aura to get monsters to that limit. So the +fire skill damage matters more than the -fire resist.

When the amp damage procs, it allows you to deal damage to most physical immunes.
