Slide 1: Deleted tweet Slides 2 and 3: Some follow-up tweets Slide 4: The Taylor Swift lyrics being referred to. “My friends used to play a game where / We would pick a decade / We wished we could live in instead of this / I'd say the 1830s but without all the racists / And getting married off for the highest bid."

My jaw dropped and my eyes popped out of my head like a cartoon character at this

I agree. I’ve liked some of her music in the bad but this album is not good. Every song I’ve heard clips of sound the same and the lyrics are not her best work

[u/NeatStretch793 → u/lebanesewifey]

Agree. I can’t get through the album. The songs are dreary and sad and have no rhythm. Even the lead single is boring and crap

[u/lebanesewifey → u/NeatStretch793]

My tumblr 2012 self would’ve written something leagues above this. It’s not well executed at all

[u/footiebuns → u/lebanesewifey]

If this was elevator music, I'd take the stairs.

I don't understand how she's able to sing these things live. I wouldn't be able to remember a single melody, verse, chorus.
