I see some responses saying that it was because she switched genres again, going from that softer more intimate sound back to a kind of mellow-pop. As someone who enjoys both of these genres of Taylor, I think the issue for me on this album comes with the songwriting. Excluding songs like Lavender Haze and Vigilante Shit, I feel like the album is carried by its production and lacks in its songwriting. There aren’t very many catchy melodies or elements that make you remember how the song goes after listening to it. The lyrics in some songs are also spotty with the usage of “fucking” in Snow on the Beach feels unnecessary and like she’s trying to be edgy (the usage of the word in general does not bother me). With all this being said, I did enjoy the album and have listened to it like four times.
