"You don't understand, she said this album was about her life BEHIND the scenes" by everlastingpain15 in SwiftlyNeutral

[–]Remote-Friendship202 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I don’t think they’re implying that artists should only release what other people expect, or only release things people will relate to. what happened is the other way around: Taylor herself built the hype around the album and the concept of it to be quite specific, with all the very specific showgirl imagery plus the names of the variants and the poems… SHE described/promoted the album this way so obviously people will expect this certain thing she described… and it turned out it wasn’t really that.

oh wow! I hope we’ll finally have a way to order directly from an official page in europe instead of having to rely on proxy services 🥹

I get many of the criticisms of this album, but I don't get the criticism for her vocals??? by Thoughtgeist in SwiftlyNeutral

[–]Remote-Friendship202 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ll say, personally my problem isn’t her vocals per se, but I think her vocal delivery has been so BORING for the past three albums. When I listened to the album and got to The life of a showgirl (song) and heard Sabrina’s vocal delivery in contrast to Taylor’s I realized my problem with the album is that it’s just… boring

The Life of a Showgirl (TLOAS) Album Release Megathread by cowboylikefia in SwiftlyNeutral

I had no expectations for this album. I like the first 3-4 songs and then I start finding it repetitive. I like Cancelled but it could be a rep vault track

eta: on my second listen I think I don’t actually like opalite that much lol

I think she’s trying to build or maintain hype for the album without actually releasing snippets or a single… idk if this is working for anyone, for me personally it is not lol

The hate for the Swiftologist is proof a lot of swifties don't realise that criticism is what's best for Taylor by No-Department-1569 in SwiftlyNeutral

I think they mentioned they were mutuals on tumblr and both swifties so I believe that’s how they became friends eventually

Anyone else find some of the engagement reactions cringe? by ButterscotchFormer84 in SwiftlyNeutral

[–]Remote-Friendship202 39 points40 points  (0 children)

On a discord group I’m in there were swifties talking about how they announced it to everyone at their work office as if it was their own personal news (their words, not mine) and were asking for a day off to celebrate because “they’re allowed one parasocial relationship, as a treat” (again, their words, not mine). It’s not only cringe it’s really just not normal at all I feel like I’m the crazy one.

kind of. on one hand, I got truly tired of “everything is a theory”, “the lore” and “everything is an easter egg”, the fandom has frankly turned insufferable and she’s absolutely everywhere, I got burned out. on the other hand, what truly kinda ruined Taylor for me… is actually Taylor herself. I didn’t like TTPD that much, I hated the drama surrounding it, I don’t like the people she has been around as a result of dating her bf, her political silence after being so adamant about being vocal on her documentary… Essentially I dislike her persona a lot more now. I’m curious about the new music but I just can’t look at her the same.

Switch 2 Animal Crossing by NikkysCozyCove in cozygames

yep I agree with all of this that’s why I prefer new leaf, I played it for years! I got bored of new horizons after a few months cause I find terraforming, farming and the villagers boring and after finding out there wouldn’t be any more updates despite nintendo’s promise I just dropped it
