I listened to Gorgeous a bunch over the weekend and here is my thought: It's a really cynical (and inferior, IMO) take on Enchanted. Enchanted is one of my absolute favorite songs, so it hit me pretty quickly especially after I listened to them back to back. Let's break it down here. Gorgeous is a song about Tay seeing a guy (hiddleston? that new guy she's seeing?) she'd never met before while out somewhere. She doesn't say anything to him and kinda mocks him to her friends, but she's clearly infatuated with him, and the brief moments where their eyes meet or they touch feel electric. She openly wonders if he's seeing anyone, but says it might be worse if he wasn't (and mentions her boyfriend as well), and at the end of the song wishes he'd just come home with her. Enchanted is a song about Tay seeing a guy (adam "Owl City" young) she'd never met before while at a party of some sort. their eyes meet and they have a cute conversation and she's clearly infatuated with him. She openly wonders if he's seeing anyone else, saying it would break her heart if he were, and at the end of the song wishes he'd come to her door in a romantic gesture. It's definitely the difference between a song you'd write when you're 20 and a song you'd write when you're 28, but with Taylor, Enchanted has this really magical quality of touching a feeling that everyone gets at some point and looking at it with almost naively optimistic eyes. Gorgeous is the song that the person who wrote Enchanted writes after a few more relationships that don't go anywhere and the media doesn't let her act like a normal human being and so the imagination is gone, replaced with "you're hot, lets gently caress". There's nothing wrong with 'you're hot, lets gently caress", but Taylor Swift is not very good at writing "you're hot, lets gently caress" songs, and it shows. I'd rather listen to someone like Demi Lovato sing about that, because Demi Lovato clearly loves it (and is good at it. see: Body Say). I think if you gave the songs that we've heard from Reputation so far to a 17 year old Taylor Swift she'd be horrified. I also think that current Taylor Swift recognizes it and is attempting to kind of lean into the cynicism of this album (see: her murdering her past selves in the LWYMMD video), but it's really not a good look on her. At least when she was all shiny-eyed and optimistic she could play off the more fakey parts of her public self off with sheer optimistic energy. You get rid of that, and you're left with the entire world slowly coming to the realization that Swift really is as cold and calculating as her worst critics say she is. (ironically, i think that reputation, which is looking to be just as much of a collaboration with the pop music mainstays as 1989 was, is a way more honest look into the mind of Taylor Swift than was Speak Now, an album entirely written by Swift) edit: man, as much as I love a lot of the songs off of Red and 1989, I don't think Swift will ever again make as cohesive and great an album as Speak Now, unless she goes back and writes another album on her own. I don't think it will happen any time soon, but i want another album with songs like Mean and Enchanted and Long Live and Mine and Speak Now and Sparks Fly.

The first few lines of gorgeous seemed like it was going to be a "this is all the weird poo poo people say about me" type dis track. Which I think would have been more fun.

so I don't know if this is the place to post this, or if there is a place to post this (I get the weird feeling I'm opening up a  here), butthe Taylor Swift Nazi thing is taking kind of a weird turn after that story about her constantly petting The Weeknd's hair when they first met I'm side-eyeing the gently caress out of this e: like, I don't wanna say Taylor Swift is a neo-Nazi (because she'll probably sue me) but I'm really struggling to come up with any other takeaway from this. either her PR people are the dumbest motherfuckers on planet Earth or she's hiding something, because it would be way the hell simpler for her to just go "gently caress Nazis" and let it go if she's not one herself.

LORD OF BOOTY posted:so I don't know if this is the place to post this, or if there is a place to post this (I get the weird feeling I'm opening up a She's been trying to maintain her current popularity without actively having to disavow her "country" (read: white supremacist) roots and it's finally blowing up in her face. She's been actively antagonistic to black musicians for a while, and her heavy presence on social media basically means there's no way for her to not know that she's hailed as some Aryan princess in those circles. She has been siccing her rabid fanbase on other artists to generate buzz and calling it feminism for like three years now so this is extremely welcome as far as I'm concerned.

“Taylor Swift” has sociopathic tendencies. Not sure if it’s actually her or the character she is playing, but either way she is scary. 1989 was a good album, though.

I haven't listened to it yet, but Slant magazine rated it 4/5 which is the highest they've ever rated a Taylor album before which is interesting. I'm curious to see where it falls on metacritic, not because scores matter, but to see if changing directions was well received or not.

actually, to be fair to T-Swizz, the songs that aren't about how everyone hates her and, y'know, her reputation and are just sappy love songs that she's always written are very good and sound like a real evolution from the sound she found on 1989. But the songs that are about that stuff are super embarrassing. especially this lyric right here: I Did Something Bad posted:They're burning all the witches, even if you aren't one

while we're on Taylor Watch, here's a Rolling Stone article where some dude who really likes Taylor ranks 115 of her songs. It was written a few weeks ago, so the only Reputation songs it has are the first two singles, but the list itself is... alright. His top ten is: 1. All Too Well 2. New Romantics 3. Long Live 4. Blank Space 5. We Are Never Getting Back Together 6. Dear John 7. Holy Ground 8. Clean 9. Red 10. Our Song which is missing a bunch of stone-cold classics. The correct list, for those at home is: 1. Style 2. Enchanted 3. Mean 4. Long Live 5. New Romantics (but +3 if it's this awesome mashup of New Romantics and I Really Like You) 6. Mine 7. You Belong With Me 8. Sparks Fly 9. Red 10. Love Story The objective criteria are how many times I've listened to them, how easy they are to belt out when I'm alone in my car, how much they make me feel like I'm 15 again, and emotional content.

It's not altogether surprising; Taylor Swift and Adele are basically the only artists who can sell albums in significant numbers any more. For comparison, Shania Twain had two albums that shipped 10 million copies and one that did 20 million. Her most recent album - her big comeback after 15 years, no less - will be lucky to get to one million.

Every song, barring the last one, has the same awful pseudo-trap production with the clicky hi-hat rolls and everything. It sounds awful, and could have come from anyone. She has no personality of her own on this thing, and her idiosyncrasies were what made her earlier albums good.
