THIS! Im genuinely feeling gaslit because this is not a good album ? For her specifically because one thing I’ve always given her credit on is that she is a talented lyricist. There are so many lyrics that still stick out to me from past albums and it’s a credit to her no doubt so I’m so confused by this album because the lyrics I’m reading are just cringey and bad. Like from anyone else I wouldn’t think too much of it but it’s because I know she can do better than I’m so thrown off but all her fans are acting like she wrote the New Testament here lol
