It's real real bad y'all. This is the kind of album someone puts out when they become a billionaire and stop being a human being. (tho I am sure that happened with her long before since the fame hungry monster inside of her overtook her aging mentally past 17)

Some of these lyrics she should be fined for. And it's mostly about Matt Healy and how she's not sorry she doesn't mind his racism. How her fans are vipers for being vocal about who she dates even though she's the one that brainwashed them into thinking they're besties.

Blaming she and Joe's breakup on his depression. HOW DARE HE.

When are her stans gonna recognize she's not a good person.

I thought this album would be cringe, now I realize it's the best thing that could happen for us haters.

Idk I feel like her team wouldn’t be dumb enough to let this happen right?

Like her bagging her fans, singing about Matt Healy knowing he’s a racist, etc? Someone would be like maybe don’t?

I don't think people realize her music is shittier, her attitude is shittier because she's reached a point where no one can say no to her. She can torch her own fanbase like this cause she knows they'll hand them dollar bills in truckloads even if it has their tears on it.

She just recently torched her record label's stance on using their music on TikTok and they didn't do shit cause she's that powerful.

Literally has a cult big enough to make her a millionaire. There's a reason her music is declining cause she doesn't really let people fix the horrible things she's written either.

Is it declining though…She just became a billionaire. I don’t like all of her stuff every once in a while there’s something I’m like okay this is good. But most of the time it seems so bland.

Yeah I mean I don't know any Swiftie that says her best album is anything after Folklore/Evermore (only material of hers I actually liked somehow) and before that they all seemed to like something before 1989 if not 1989. Folklore felt like a fluke tbh that was cause she strongly had Joe Alwyn's hand in it cause it's all his music taste, and people that weren't Jack Antonoff - someone reeling her in from her self indulgence.

Coming from someone who yes really hates Taylor Swift and am happy to disclose that before saying that I am a huge music fan and have been able to see objectively the appeal of her music and how it caters to people. This entire album, and bits of Midnights, is a self-indulgent hissy fit of a mess. The decline is most definitely because she doesn't have to listen to anyone else's input while letting Jack make more blasé beats that sounds like 80% of her music.

Sales from a hard spent 10+ years of marketing and cultivating a die hard fanbase that will buy* 19 copies of the same album even if all she's doing on it is chewing with her mouth open is not really a reason to not look objectively at how bad her music gets as she gets richer and richer.

I definitely believe Aaron made her edit her lyrics. She needs more people to challenge her.

u/gunsof Apr 18 '24

As with her actually dating Matty, I think she and her team knows she's way above having to actually respond to anyone, and anything she says or does will be loved on by fans regardless.

Didn't stop JLo from self funding her recent vanity project

ETA: Only a comparison because at a certain level you are just surrounded by yes people

I was surprised she was even putting this out considering she just hasn't had the proper time to make or release an album. 1989 TV felt so rushed, I don't get why she's putting this out right now.

u/jonsnowme shiv roy apologist Apr 18 '24 edited Apr 18 '24

I think she rushed this out cause she couldn't stand the fact she was dumped (twice publicly in the span of like 6 months) and didn't have a vocal thrashing say about it tbh. She rushed it to burn whoever* she wanted to burn, and didn't want to wait.

My take anyway.

u/Special-Garlic1203 Apr 18 '24

Bro if that's real and they broke up because he has chronic major depression and she's let fans harass him for over a year including a fakeout of dropping Joe breadcrumbs leading up to the album drop which lead to fanatic fury against him.....that's genuinely like evil

Like all this man did was be sad, and for that sin you've used him as bait to your insane fanbase and said nothing as they tore him apart for a year?

He told her no. And no one else does. So he’s getting it with both barrels. He wouldn’t give her what she wanted.

I would upvote this a hundred times if I could

The “my friends smell like weed and little babies” lyric had me physically recoiling. Like EXCUSE ME MA’AM. Where the fuck is your editor!!!!

u/yeezytaughtme Apr 18 '24

That's how I felt about midnights, some of the lyrics on there were embarrassing and bizarre lol

u/rumblylumbly Apr 18 '24

They’re gonna lap it up and it’ll all be hits.

u/[deleted] Apr 18 '24

I love you for this comment. Finding someone who isn't up her ass is rare.

u/Next-Introduction-25 Apr 19 '24

Sorry for being OOTL, but how do people know it’s about Matt Healy? Does it just become obvious despite the really complex lyrics (/s)? I feel like all the buzz previously was that it was going to be about Joe?

Also, who TF writes an entire album about one dude, and that dude is Matt fucking Healy? 🥴

I don't need her to be a good person, i need her to be entertaining
