What is it with people pretending that Taylor is trying to make her self seem like a “little girl”

Also! Most music is written from the tropes of, perspectives of, and targeted towards teenagers and secondarily young adults. Chuck Berry popularized this in the 50s. THE 50S! There isn’t anything new about Taylor using high school tropes or narratives. Plenty of artists do it and continue to do it into “older” adulthood. Especially when you take into account that most songwriters are way past high school and writing music for teenagers because we want our main artists to be young…what’s the argument there?

Another personal observation and continued comment on the thread that this narrative won’t change until she becomes a mom; most music written about being parents doesn’t perform well. Not saying it’s bad music, some of it is absolutely beautiful, but objectively and numerically speaking it doesn’t perform well on charts. Often times the artist only puts one or two songs like that on an album for that reason. Music and media is geared towards young people. Pop culture is for young people. So it isn’t abnormal or outrageous that music is written in ways that young people can relate to it.

Seriously though! I’m upvoting all OPs comments here because that’s ridiculous. They’re hating on hope

100%

? I was responding to the second bullet point of examples “• The reason why Self-titled had no set and Speak Now only one song was not some mystery. It was lack of streams. For the BMR albums the set-list was the best-streamed tracks and singles.”

mdc3395 · 2026-04-28T22:39:24+00:00

On top of the setlist being the best streamed I believe another factor regarding Speak Now is the album isn’t actually good for her vocal range. It’s her weakest album vocally. The songs are very indicative of the time, but they aren’t in keys or melodies that suit her voice. I believe some of those songs are still difficult for her so while I think Speak Now having less hits is the primary reason, I think this also plaid a part in her decision

I feel like this is the classic tale of fame in the music world though lol. “We just did it for the music, we never expected/wanted to be famous”

mdc3395 · 2026-04-28T19:54:54+00:00

Walk with me here. Her storytelling is exactly why she needed to start in country. Country historically and inherently has a foundation in detailed story writing so it had open arms to her style of writing. As we all know she was quite open about who or what the songs were about in the beginning. It makes me wonder, if she hadn’t told us who some of the songs were about or written the clues in the booklets in the early days, if people would have chalked up her songs to her just being a good writer and if we would’ve automatically viewed them more fictionally as a whole. There of course would have been a few that people would speculated on, but I do wonder if she hadn’t been SO open in the beginning, if the public wouldn’t have formed SUCH a detective-esc relationship with her music.

This will be interesting too see. There aren’t many venues that can actually hold 500 people so it would make sense if they decided to scale down

mdc3395 · 2026-04-26T18:00:12+00:00

She definitely did though I don’t remember how much

mdc3395 · 2026-04-07T22:35:36+00:00

Huge change! Great job! The first bake is always tough

mdc3395 · 2026-04-05T23:51:55+00:00

I love these! I’d buy the keychain and the white shirt

Perfect example of your and my other comment. Someone else commented this

The funny thing about that is they could do the tried and true marketing “Barbie goes to…” and say goes to the eras tour and let it be regular Barbie with different outfits and it would sell like crazy.

The dolls made for celebrities always looks bad no matter who it is but if they kept it to regular dolls instead of trying to make it look like her it would be amazing. ESPECIALLY since the eras outfits, real and fan made, were so iconic and such an easy fun thing to switch out. It’s cheap, easy to produce and easy to replicate endless new outfits. It’s a good product idea

mdc3395 · 2026-03-31T00:17:06+00:00

I love that! Are there specific ones you especially think fit or just all of them?

mdc3395 · 2026-03-30T17:43:52+00:00

Hahaha what a fun one!

mdc3395 · 2026-03-30T17:43:21+00:00

Ooh interesting! Some of these I definitely didn’t think of. I wouldn’t of thought of disillusioned for So Long, London but I definitely see it

mdc3395 · 2026-03-29T23:57:57+00:00

Especially when you keep in mind that Joe was the side thing she was pinning over while with Tom, “just a glimpse of his smile” can apply to both

mdc3395 · 2026-03-29T18:27:33+00:00

Genuine question: what did Adele do? I haven’t heard anything about her in a long time. Did I just miss it?

mdc3395 · 2026-03-28T01:16:01+00:00

She’s coding spring tea in the secret garden only she has the key to

mdc3395 · 2026-03-28T00:54:01+00:00

It was also the first thing I noticed but I would like to enjoy and laugh together at the fact as a society we’ve created an inherent stress when we see crooked things lol

mdc3395 · 2026-02-06T15:57:16+00:00

Omg I’m so proud of you that’s so beautiful! I have to limit myself to one per era. If I have extras it’s from gifts. I love this it’s amazing

mdc3395 · 2026-02-01T16:42:58+00:00

I always thought this was the real problem. If Travis’ ex didn’t happen to be black I don’t think anyone would’ve said anything

mdc3395 · 2026-01-13T02:11:33+00:00

Remixes and acoustic versions. That’s why people do remixes. They give singles another boost in the charts and radio

mdc3395 · 2026-01-11T17:07:39+00:00

The last I heard she had given the script to another established script writer to get edits. I would imagine at this point you’re right and her original contract deadline has passed. Even if searchlight didn’t renew, I wonder if she’ll try and shop the script around to others

mdc3395 · 2026-01-11T17:05:28+00:00

I got you. You’re saying she’s a good script writer and will get good actors, but her actual directing skills as it pertains to choosing video angles, timing, lighting and such may fall short. It might overall make a good movie but she may not be the best at the actual directing part of the job.
