Taylor Swift Glitchy Snake Gifs thread 2017 - Reputation

I still hear Bad Blood pretty regularly at the roller rink.

all i can think about is how neil tennant called her "the mrs. thatcher of pop"

I was hoping her taking a break was to clear people's minds of all the annoying kanye/kim bullshit that nobody but the press and fanboys+girls gave a shit about. that way she could come back with something
a little fresh and removed.... instead the vibe is... "guys i am back with some zingers. remember Bad Blood? shit gonna get real snarky but in a slightly sad and ineffectual way"

Interesting read focusing on her album launches since 2010 and what's changed:

I know she's done stuff like "Mean" in the past but I'm hoping Swifty's savvy enough not to make an entire album about the Perils of Celebrity. I don't need to hear her Yeezus.

Kirk: "I'm not sure what to do with my hands?"

is it debuting on YouTube? anyone know times?

It debuts in your skull.

New single's out, i'm listening on apple music but it's probs on other streaming services too

this is actually great

- me, and no one else

it sounds scarily like meghan trainor's me too on the chorus :/

Well here we are

the near-unanimous hatred for this is baffling and if this were by anyone but this pop season's designated critical villain I suspect people would love it

it sounds scarily like meghan trainor's me too on the chorus :/

Chorus was the only part I liked! Until I read that.

xp I can't speak for everyone, but I'm just sick of songs that sound like this and are constructed this way and I kinda (maybe wrongly) assumed she'd rise above.

Guess what! The Right Said Fred comparisons are in fact intentional

https://genius.com/Taylor-swift-look-what-you-made-me-do-lyrics

Written By
Taylor Swift, Jack Antonoff, Richard Fairbrass, Fred Fairbrass & Rob Manzoli

I like the first minute or so.

Yeah had a feeling Jack Antonoff produced this. Kept reminding me of Lorde at points.

get you love drunk off my hump, my lovely little hump

lol that the Fairbrass bros actually got credited on this, that is some weird post-"Blurred Lines" lawsuit shit

Man I don't mind them getting some cash.

So then the real target of the song is Robin Thicke and the family of Marvin Gaye.

rhyming "time" with "time" eh

wow people really hate this song don't they? i think it's fine. i guess i'm team taylor now.

that's from a press release i just got. sorry about messing up the c/p

lol @ Target

Seems like a blown opportunity to not also have a tie-in Taylor Burn Book.

^^ yes

I'll appreciate having some "Never Again"-style pure spite back on the radio, and the production is interestingly sparse and drum-machiney at points, but the song structure feels bizarrely labyrinthine for a comeback single. Like obvs the chorus chant is an effective hook (worked well enough for the credited co-writers back in the 90s), but the Taylor tabloid-sparring that takes up the rest of it feels like a weird fit for, say, a dance remix during the drive-time DJ set (not that I don't expect some procrustean effort to start showing up on my radio within the next week). Like, I have no idea at this point whether top40 stations will go for it in the long term.
Although maybe that's kind of a good and fun thing to see for a pop release of this magnitude?

Huh, I like everything about this *except* the chorus. it does sound a hell of a lot like the Lorde album, though, right down to the vocal rhythms.

i don't think there's anything particularly challenging about it as a sonic fit for the current wave of top 40. (other than that it's by a woman and is not completely anonymous-sounding.)

my feelings about it aren't strong either way. the meghan trainor similarity did strike me before the right said fred one. (is that songwriting credit official or just random trolling on genius?) like, i'm surprised to hear that ppl hate it but would also be surprised if ppl were overwhelmingly in love with it.

Thank you @taylorswift13 ❤️ what a marvellous reinvention! #imtoosexy #lookwhatyoumademedo https://t.co/malXQ8uMQe

even 'Me Too' is better than this

now i have 'green light' stuck in my head

Song rules but this album launch narrative is so tone deaf - you're gonna make an album about how poorly the media has treated you? Sounds familiar

The song feels like a discarded '1989' outtake. This is the first time new Taylor music sounds regressive and a step backwards to my ears. Singing "the old Taylor is dead" is the most blatant sign of this. TS had worked her way into a position and status where she didn't need to make such on the nose statements. The old Taylor was dead with every new album. Having to declare it out loud now just feels so... off. Show don't tell imo.

verse = that lorde co-writer bro's shit all sounds the same. chorus = bad. feels like 00s Madonna. i sort of like the synthy stuff on the outro though.

sounds like somebody whose name rhymes with Baylor Bift is getting down and out about the liars and the dirty dirty cheats of this world

I haven't liked any of her first singles since 2009 so my mild appreciation of this one is a surprise.

poor Kacey Musgraves

If there's one thing Swift has in common with Trump, it's knowing how to flood the zone.

Funny how one and half years between albums feels really short now.

My Swiftie daughter is perplexed trying to imagine how or if she will promote it, because her tour runs until October.

“Promote” it??

Your daughter is missing the literalism: it will simply be the screams of tortured poets from Taylor's lair.

1.5 years is about average for her in recent years, though it is short for pretty much anyone else

she has april and most of march off from touring, so that's where the album promo will fit in. i expect the tour will be overhauled for the europe leg in may - at the very least the midnights section will be cut down and a section for the new album will be added in

April is the cruelest month after all

so that's what the TS in TS Eliot stands for

Swift is suing his estate

Had to do it:

Let us go then, you and I/When the evening is spread out against the sky/Like a tight end playing in the Super Bowl -- The Tortured Poets Department, Taylor Swift, April 19

1.5 years is about average for her in recent years, though it is short for pretty much anyone else

yeah that is what I meant
