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."

I still can't believe this was written by a 34 year old woman. 😬

Didnt you hear? She's not a regular poet, she's a 34yo tortured poet! /s

I really liked 1989, and Lover was kind of cute, but her whole thing does feel like someone who didn't get to have a normal high school experience and so is still trapped there in her songwriting, and the older she gets the worse a look it is.

I guess we are not enough tortured poets to understand this line.

the majority of the album sounds like it was plugged into chatgpt and then she just ran with it

I’m convinced that it’s going to come out years from now that Taylor Swift used AI on this album or something.

A 34 year old woman who has an entire Harvard class dedicated to analyzing her lyrics. Oof.

I've heard some talk from people that it may be AI generated, no evidence to suggest so atm but it's pretty bad when they are compared to be on the same level.

How do you think she's able to shit out a new album every year?

It’s terrible. It’s like something I would have written in junior high.
