While many have praised the upbeat bops on “The Life of a Showgirl,” others have said the tracks lack the kind of lyricism they have come to expect of Swift.
Ah yes, the “lyricism” of modern-day poet Taylor Swift. Who could forget such classic works as “haters gonna hate hate hate hate hate” and “she wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts”. Shes basically Chaucer and Keats combined, but even better
Sure her early stuff could be considered basic, not that that stopped millions and millions of people connecting with it.
But some of her later albums really surprised me. If you have the time and are interested, Folklore was lyrically interesting and I quite enjoyed “The Last Great American dynasty” specifically.
It seems to me like you just gonna hate hate hate/s
Jokes aside. Yes it is bland repetitive pop and her fans are weirdly parasocial, but with entertainment, I think there is no point in arguing, and one just has to let people enjoy what they enjoy
I take no issue with people enjoying it, I just think complaining that her lyricism is waining is like complaining that water doesnt taste like it used to. Expecting lyrical prowess from someone famous for writing bland pop lyrics is like expecting a zebra not to have stripes
They don’t say she is a good poet, they say that the last album’s texts are worse than they expected according to their previous experience with T.Swift.
Leaving aside the billionaire-bashing, which I wholeheartedly agree with, it is nice to see that such a huge and influential fandom seems to genuinely care about “AI” slop.
Taylor swift is a billionaire and deserves the guillotine like all the rest.
Billionaires are bad not because they’re billionaires but because most of them become billionaires by exploiting the workers.
I don’t think Swift’s money come from underpaid workers
I dont imagine her touring musicians and engineers get paid that well…
Do you have any reason to believe that they get significantly less salary than the median on the market? And that difference is enough to make billions?
You may be shocked to discover that the market median isn’t appropriate and folks who benefit off of it are similarly doing bad to the social contract.
I know a guy who was on her lighting crew. He left to do HVAC because of pay.
How much is she charging her fans to attend shows…
The thing is that the worker’s salary is not in any means proportional to the money earned at the top. Disparity is the problem.
They are bad because they’re billionaires though.
That kind of wealth concentration is disruptive of the entire economy and social structure.
Imagine playing poker with $10 worth of chips against someone with $100,000; the game is rigged in their favor regardless of how they got the money.
You can’t amass that much money and remain a decent human.
Try me :)
She came from a wealthy family.
Serious question, how does one block Taylor Swift posts from their ‘news’ feed? Shouldn’t this be in the EntertainmentTonight or RegisAndKathyLee communities?
Add a “Taylor swift” filter if you’re on mobile it’ll be in your settings
aye. desktop block settings seem to lack this feature.
She only speaks money
