The reason store is so good is, apparently, that it's been five years in the making.

LA Hallucinations? You misspelled I Didn't Just Come Here to Dance (yawn) and Making the Most of the Night (sounds too loving Sia).

I Didn't Just Come Here to Dance is good, once you realise that what she means is, she came here to gently caress.

Came here to post this, insanely next level petty and I love it.

It's fantastic and also it seems like Taylor's outright getting more streams, at least in the US? Spotify top 200 for today have 7 Tay songs (>1.7m) and only two songs from Witness (<600k streams between the two).

Does anyone know what this song is about?? It sounds like it's referring to something but I can't figure out what.

I don't know... maybe being trapped legally in a toxic relationship with a sexual predator/rapist because a bunch of judges loving suck? Just spitballing here. Might be wrong.

That's an interesting interpretation, but I feel like the song is too ambiguous to jump to conclusions.

I feel like all Taylor has to do is show up in order to win the "feud" after this boring video/song.

Taylor already won when she casually restored streaming on Spotify on the day of Katy's news album release and got more plays that weekend,

It seems like the chorus is designed specifically for hastags and memes.

edit: On second thought, I wonder if it's a musical reference to

My wife has become extremely irritated with me because I've been singing ONLY ONE DICK THAT'S A BUMMER from the new Tove Lo single over and over.

1. Total banger
2. Apple Music upsettingly informs me that line is “only one date that’s a bummer” but I’m going to pretend it’s not

it's sort of weird that those remixes count as the same song, IMO. like all of a sudden after weeks of just being the normal album cut, Bad Guy had a (feat. Justin Bieber) tacked onto it despite the songs being different.

This isn't new tho

wait was the version of this without Ja Rule ever popular? I thought it was an Ignition situation where only the remix got any play

It wasn't anywhere near as big a hit but yeah they were both released as singles and counted as the same song for Billboard purposes. Wiki says that directly led to a change in Billboard rules so that the two Ain't It Funny releases counted as different songs when they put out the remix the next year.

Taylor otoh is an unproblematic fave

quote:

On the eve of wrapping up the US leg of her wildly successful Eras Tour, Swift on Monday thanked a slew of crew members who have done serious heavy lifting on the road with her — among them, the tour’s truck drivers — with a hefty bonus.

Swift stunned the tour’s trucking staff by giving each trucker a check in the amount of $100,000, Michael Scherkenbach, founder and CEO of Denver, Colorado-based Shomotion trucking company, told CNN.

While Scherkenbach declined to disclose how many of his staff received the six-figure bonus, he said it was a total of nearly 50 members of the combined trucking crews.


[...]

In addition to his staff, Scherkenbach said other tour crew members, including those in catering, video, audio and lighting, also received bonuses.

I'm really looking forward to hearing how this turns out. 1989 is so much heavier on Obvious Production Choices than the albums she's re-recorded so far, and both Wildest Dreams tv and This Love tv sounded fairly different from the originals. Maybe Bad Blood tv will be tolerable??

Pinterest Mom

is that a production error on the left channel in "logical" at ~1:20-1:23? sharp buzzing sounds?

e: oh it was a lot more pronounced before i turned spatial audio off. still there, but fainter.

It'd be surprising if she was just picking songs up and re-recording them wholesale without changes. They're probably old ideas that were at various stages of completeness and get dusted off, reworked, have some lyrics changed.

But at the same time you can see how some songs do fit anachronistically. I believe that "Mr. Perfectly Fine" actually existed in the Fearless era. She had a scrapped song idea that included the phrase "casually cruel", and then re-used that phrase when she actually put out All Too Well a few years later.

New Taylor already? Christ I know shes a license to print money but it feels like Midnights just happened. I’m a little burned out on the Swiftening

It's been 18 months, less of a gap than between Lover and Evermore (somehow!), but we did also get an ~album's worth of new content with the bonus tracks to Speak Now and 1989 TV.

After a few listens, I'm really fond of The Black Dog, and the title track with the cringey lyrics is one of the more memorable tracks, really disappointed in the Florence track.
