also the wes anderson thing turned out to be a rumour

I hope this is a non-album single.

I watched the 'premiere.' video was ok, missed that wes anderson directed it, didn't seem like it. bizarre color palette - sugar overload/cake flavored ice cream aesthetic? I was with the song until the chorus, more anonymous new muzak. is this for a kids movie?
― flappy bird, Friday, 26 April 2019 04:16 (four years ago) link
i like it. also it totally makes sense given she’s in CATS

sorry about spreading the rumor. i shoulda known

this is worse than "look what you made me do" which still isn't good but was at least a bit endearing in a "what the hell is she trying to do" way

the good news is that since 'red' her lead singles have pretty much uniformly been some of the worst songs on her albums

"Spelling is fun" and you "can't spell awesome without me" is abominable, condescending. Terrible choices. That said, I still kind of like this somehow and it's bound to be a huge inescapable hit in the same vein as Can't Stop The Feeling. Fun and lighthearted works better for her than the dark me vs. the world Taylor.
The overall immediate reaction seems pretty mixed to negative, though. One of the surprising things to me about the initial reaction to this is how much people seemingly ended up coming around on reputation.

I never came around on Reputation -- save a few cuts -- and this song feels even more forced.

is this for a kids movie?
Yes, it's called "Summer," and it will be opening everywhere.

"hey kids! spelling is fun!" is such a bafflingly terrible moment

― american bradass (BradNelson), Friday, 26 April 2019 12:05 (four years ago) link
anyway i'm predicting the album is called chrysalis
I hated We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, Shake It Off, and Look What You Made Me Do for a long time when they first came out, so I'm going to reserve my judgement until I hear a birthday party full of 8-year-olds trying to sing along to it this summer. I don't think it's terrible, although there are some parts I don't like ("there's a lot of lame guys out there" stands out). The video (and particularly Brandon Urie's dumb face) makes me want to put my head through a wall, although the melting dress at the end is a good kind of nightmare fuel, imo.
Anyway, is someone going to make a new thread?

She has a habit of squeezing really clunky slogans into lyrics, doesn't she? Anyway, this reminds me of, like, Sara Bareilles. Harmless enough. How long until Taylor Swift is on Broadway?

Maybe (plus the colors) a loose nod to Umbrellas of Cherbourg?

New world to me, but the comparisons hold up:
Taylor Swift's new Jojo-Siwa-lite aesthetic is really depressing me. Surely she can get a #1 without luring iPad-addicted children to her content??

Have you ever heard of country music? It is a style of music that Taylor Swift played prior to recording that song. ;)

Hot takes from my daughters, aka the target demo:
14-year old "Panic!" fan: this is OK.
11-year old theatre kid: "Is this for 2-year olds?" Shortly afterward she started singing "Fight Song," but I have heard her walking around ironically singing "you can't spell US without ME!" So: mission accomplished?

The only thing Demy-like about this is that it's as unbearably wtf awful as his last one, the one where Yves Montand plays himself and fucks his own daughter. But I guess Brendon Urie is too young for that to be the twist.
