Taylor Swift Glitchy Snake Gifs thread 2017 - Reputation

I'm kinda wondering if this is gonna be similar to when Shake it Off came out and the reception was mostly negative (see: the 1989 thread on this site) but by the end of the year it's winning 4th place in pazz & jop and getting hailed as a perfect pop song

I can't decide what I think of this one yet but the verses/beat/'telephone' segment are pretty good. If the full albums all sass and anger and electroclash beats I'm down.

Don't get why she doesn't like Kanye's tilted stage though. When I saw him live it was one of the more interesting parts of his surprisingly-not-great show

Yeah, again, I still haven't listened to this, but all the "HO HUM NOT COMPELLING" stuff on this thread is probably gonna look very stupid when this thing is Number One for two months

i'm sure it'll be very popular on the radio, all her stuff is - that doesn't mean i have to like it or think it's interesting

Yeah, I certainly don't think it's going to flop or anything.

i have no idea how "shake it off" managed to be that high on p&j, esp since i never noticed anyone who disliked it initially coming around to it

ubiquity breeds surrender

I've dug her since the debut and I dig this.

I listened to it, song is good, haters gonna hate

It took me a good year and a half to come around to "Shake It Off", especially the stupid rap.

As someone with no interest or knowledge of the real-life drammer behind it, I like this song - it's memorable at least - sounds a bit like Britney's Circus. But the 'Fred chorus is an anticlimax.

not crazy about this song but the one aspect of the backlash to it that really grinds my gears is the resurrection of the worst normie music opinion: suspicion of sampling

V OTM

this song is deeply dippy

that liz rose record isn't even listed on her wikipedia page lol

excited to dive into it

yeah I admit that it got basically zero coverage at all anywhere (it seems to be either self-released or on a *very* small label)

wish Caitlin Rose would put out a new album :(

same

the stand-in is so wonderful

yeah, it's a perennial in my house

the new Nicole Atkins (Goodnight Rhonda Lee) has kinda been scratching that same itch for me recently

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I'm not yet sick of people shoehorning Dril references in at every opportunity but it would be nice if they went for some deep cuts from time to time

sorry simon the flattening effect of the internet means it's all candles and corncobs from here on out

That's the sequel to Bedknobs and Broomsticks, yes?

Good grief

Thank you so much to @taylorswift13 & @jackantonoff - very kind!

Can't knock the Saul Bass-y lyric visuals, though.

And we got interview

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/features/right-said-fred-praise-cynical-taylor-swift-song-w499547

Just about a week ago, the members of Right Said Fred got a mysterious offer. A "big, contemporary female artist who hasn't released anything for a while" wanted to interpolate the British duo's tongue-in-cheek Nineties hit "I'm Too Sexy" into a new song, the group's Fred Fairbrass recalls.

...In fact, if Swift's song had been too sexual, the group may not of have let her use it. In the past they turned down a Southeast Asian artist who wanted to change the lyrics to being about bondage.

"But we had no reservations, because we like her," says Fred, adding that they deduced it was Swift who'd requested the song from the clues they were given. "To have an artist as big as Taylor Swift give you the thumbs up and introduce us to her fan base is amazing."

"It also proves the point that 'Sexy' wasn't just a ludicrous 'Purple People Eater' kind of nonsense song," Richard says. "There was more to it than that."

im happy for them, i guess this is a good side effect of the Blurred Lines verdict

Song's growing on me. Like the pre-chorus. Hate the second verse rap and the bridge. Chorus stands up only because of the RSF link.

like I think "I'm Too Sexy" will probably get licensed more now (not that it already isn't used semi-frequently), and it's a better song than this new Taylor Swift song that I already forgot the name of.

but i do like the song. don't really get the hate in here w/r/t the music. like i said upthread, lyrics & narrative conceit of the song & presumably the record (based on the cover) is hilariously tone-deaf

the cover does look incredibly amateurish

and it's like... not a good photo? of a person of whom there are approx 1000000 great photos?

that's it though, that's all you get from me as far as caring about taylor swift goes as of 25 aug 2017

The UPS package cars with Taylor Swift’s album cover on them will roll out in cities across America, beginning with Nashville, Atlanta and New York City on Sat., Aug. 26. UPS will announce via social media when the package cars will arrive in other cities. Fans who snap a picture of a decaled UPS package car, at a safe distance, then tag @UPS and share the hashtag #TaylorSwiftDelivery may receive an improved opportunity to buy Taylor Swift concert tickets.

an improved opportunity to buy taylor swift tickets?? dad that's just what i've always wanted!@@!!!!1111eleven!!11

lol @ professional music critics resting so much of their criticism on the assumption that Taylor Swift actively sought to borrow from Right Said Fred rather than writing a song and then realizing after the fact that it sounded sort of like this other song

I had that song in my head in the last week for some reason that I'm stuggling to place.

this is a short laugh for such a long sentence

that's why I don't get paid to write

I don't have the economy of words, just excellent, unassailable ideas

why do u think that crut? it seems less likely than the alternative?

really? i think it seems far more likely that they realized it after the fact.

yeah, post-Blurred Lines they probably have people specifically employed to catch this stuff

or an app of some sort

In the past they turned down a Southeast Asian artist who wanted to change the lyrics to being about bondage.

WHO

this all reminds me of
