i had this weird moment today where i imagined that all the singles and videos released so far weren’t actually the album and the album itself (the one UPS is delivering to your door...) is 100% different and Red 2.0 and no one knows what’s on it. but that would be actually insane.

Would be great if she just sent an actually physically copy to everyone, one-upping U2, but made them C.O.D..

I mean the cynical explanation for "Ready For It" suddenly getting a radio push is so radio people could be like "THANK GOD WE CAN STOP PLAYING THE OTHER ONE"
(fwiw the first of the two singles I heard out in the wild was not 'Look What You Made Me Do' -- I don't think I've ever heard that out in the wild actually)

underwhelming Katy and Taylor albums back to back is some end-of-an-era shit. or sumthin.

True :)
Not a good song though. "I want to wear you initials around my neck". Ok... I stand by what I said upthread. Everything about the new songs feels like complete digression. It's like she lashed out at her critics once (Look what you made me do), but after that crawled up into known territory and resorted to songs that were also written ten years ago. I don't get it. It's not even a lack of progress, it's a huge, defensive step back.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Friday, 3 November 2017 21:25 (eight years ago)
regression damnit, not digression
I thought that too.
This song stinks.

I actually have far more time and admiration for her music this time round than 1989 for whatever reason. Maybe the omniprescence during the 1989 era put me off as well as the fact that she didn't seem particularly sincere (as has been well-documented of course).
― Custard Cream, Monday, 6 November 2017 20:15 (eight years ago)
this album comes out in 4 days and she seems almost nonexistent
― dyl, Monday, 6 November 2017 23:17 (eight years ago)
does anyone think this song sounds like a defense of white privilege? yeesh. although now she shouldn't able to sue people for making that (dumb) claim
― akm, Tuesday, 7 November 2017 00:19 (eight years ago)
something i really don't get is why people seem to think she's secretly a trump supporter, she seems much more like your general wealthy socially-liberal-but-fiscally-conservative clinton voter. Like sure she doesn't want to talk about politics (which in this day and age isn't exactly a laudable move) but ffs that doesn't automatically mean she's a trump supporter
― josh az (2011nostalgia), Tuesday, 7 November 2017 04:55 (eight years ago)
i haven't heard that she's a trump supporter, but you pretty much nailed what i thought of her & the vibe i got from many people. saw a lot of people come at her, before this album too, of being an implicit white supremacist or something idk

― El Tomboto, Tuesday, 7 November 2017 12:51 (eight years ago)
maybe all those people ordered Swift albums before they realized they didn't want them? and then they forgot they ordered them?
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 7 November 2017 12:53 (eight years ago)
otoh if TS has beef with the Westdashians doesn’t that imply she’s #NeverTrump through the transitive property of Kanye’s non sequitur visit to Trump Tower to hang out with the president-elect
― El Tomboto, Tuesday, 7 November 2017 12:54 (eight years ago)
And if Bannon is a fungus as many suspect then we might assume Super Mario also has issues with the current governing elite - perhaps Taylor and Mario ARE DATING
― El Tomboto, Tuesday, 7 November 2017 12:56 (eight years ago)
She should date Bannon, dump him, then write a mean song about him to win people back.
