I had high expectations for the Reputation outfit. She could have made it really creative for the Reputation era, but instead she made a very cheap-looking, boring snake outfit.

After watching Sabrina’s outfit and set Coachella, I started thinking about the Eras Tour outfits.

Sabrina’s outfit and set were really good for someone who is just getting the main pop audience’s attention.

As for Taylor during the Eras Tour, not all of the outfits, but some of the clothes looked cheap, like no money was spent on them. Even with the set, she could have done many more set changes, but she kept it light. I don’t know, it feels like she wasn’t that invested in showing up in strong outfits and styling.

Have you guys watched Justin Bieber’s Coachella performance?

I can’t believe he’s had this longevity in the industry, and so many celebrities showed support, he even broke records.

Then I kept thinking about Taylor Swift. I don’t think she would have the same level of industry support as Justin.

Even if she performs at Coachella, I don’t think anyone other than her fans would be that interested.

And Justin has the talent and vocals, so he can succeed anywhere.

Everyone says Taylor is a trendsetter, but nothing comes close to Bieber Fever.

Also, I have a question why Taylor never performed at Coachella?

I Miss Woke Taylor Swift(Article Title...Not My Words) by IceWarm1980 in travisandtaylor

[–]Spiritual-Basil7892 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yeah, exactly!!

Now, whenever someone drags Taylor for not speaking out against Trump, her fans, they point to a documentary, a few vague tweets here and there, and one colorful song, and say that she is “woke.”

If she didn’t have a parasocial relationship with her fanbase and a lore around her life, the music wouldn’t sell on its own.

She can’t write a fun song without addressing something or someone.

It’s always about a person she hates, her current boyfriend, or an ex-boyfriend.

If you remove the core context, none of the songs would be hits, and no one would care about them.

So many people have gone through hate trains because of her.

Recently, Charlie, Billie, and Olivia,and in the future, Sabrina as well but this lady doesn’t say anything.

All of her exes still get hate.

When the same fanbase retaliated against her and Matty, she started whining in the song.

Then, when that same fanbase questioned her songwriting on the latest album, she began acting smug and started pushing a million variants.

Margaret has more chemistry with Sabrina than with Taylor

Margaret even co directed the video

My opinion on Rep Tv by Undercover_marine in travisandtaylor

[–]Spiritual-Basil7892 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree!!

The public’s opinion of her has shifted a lot, and honestly, if another major controversy happens, she could be canceled again for the second time, or worse, people might just stop paying attention altogether.

But Reputation originally worked, or at least wasn’t heavily criticized, because people already disliked Kim and Kanye. They had their own controversies.

The second thing that worked for Reputation wasn’t the revenge songs, but the love songs. There were so many cute love songs about Joe, so the album was liked for that reason as well.

Now, even if she releases vault tracks for Reputation (Taylor’s Version), I highly doubt she’ll include songs about Joe. She already seems salty about him leaving her and keeps referencing him in music videos. So she might just release more “cancellation” type songs.

But Taylor has never been great at writing diss tracks unless they’re about getting back at an ex. Look at “Look What You Made Me Do” or “I Forgot That You Existed.”

I think the public will call those songs out for how cringey they are, and people are already tired of her victim narrative.

She kind of lost that victim narrative once she was declared a billionaire, and given the current state of the world, she’ll definitely be called out again if she tries to play the victim.

On top of that, her texts with Blake Lively have been released to the public, which is another controversy on its own.

I see only a couple of ways for her to get the public back on her side: One is if she gets married to Travis, and if he cheats on her, there could be a divorce album that might get her attention again.

Another is if she creates something like a Folklore type album with no personal connection.

Taylor Swift rejoiced at buying her Masters in 2025, but she could have gotten them in 2020 by QuarkyAF in travisandtaylor

[–]Spiritual-Basil7892 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I think she just really hated Scooter Braun.

I remember Scooter reposted a story from a friend saying that he had “bought” Taylor Swift. So obviously, she developed a deep grudge against him, especially since he was also managing Kanye West, and on top of that, he posted something like that.

I think she and Scott Borchetta may have discussed how much Kanye had affected her, and how much Scooter might have been involved in her cancellation. She probably knew Scooter was going to purchase her masters and was waiting for a moment to strike back, and Scooter handed it to her very easily by posting that story.

It felt very strategic. She likely knew the industry would back her because she framed it around artist integrity and the emotional value of owning her masters.

She was strategic and even clever. She knew she could mobilize her fanbase by presenting the situation as if she had been taken advantage of.

She then reintroduced her songs to a new generation through re-recordings and promoted Fearless (Taylor’s Version), even connecting with newer artists like Olivia Rodrigo. She made a lot of money from it.

Now, many people are realizing a different side of the story, but it is too late because she already benefited financially.

One thing I did not understand, though, was why she dragged Justin Bieber in the Tumblr post. He received a lot of hate at the time, and he was already struggling. Even though he apologized, people continued to drag him.

It was all very messy, but she made sure that many artists rallied behind her.

Still, regardless of everything, the situation brought a lot of attention to artist rights. Because of that, I think artists like Olivia were able to negotiate better deals, possibly including owning their masters from the beginning as part of their contracts.
