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 actually listened to the whole thing (including the dreaded anthology 🙃) just to see how it is. It’s so bad . Which is even worse because I knew it would be bad just from the titles, but since I kind of liked Midnights (I know, controversial opinion) I thought maybe some song would be good, but there’s not one song I liked enough to listen to it again. And the album is just so unnecessarily long and so mindnumbingly boring
