I dont mean her presidential recommendation, no i am talking of her latest album. Its easily her best and its neither super poppy nor country. So during covid she got into folk music, and she just became more somber and mature almost overnight. There is a reason more older people listen vs teens. Shes older now, 34, and makes music for her age group but everyone assume she stills aim at teenager girls.

You could go to her newest albums and only listen to her explicit tracks to get the most change, but thats not all she is either.

Im no pro on music, i check spotify on Fridays and listen what instrested me, mostly rap but whatever. But im a die hard swiftie

    Alright, I tried but I’m going to call it quits after I had to listen to “generic pop song 1 through 5”. If that is her best album then I haven’t been missing anything. I’ll go back to listing to Avril Lavigne for my teenage girl music.

      You’re full of shit. You get the anti swift upvotes sure, but her newest album doesnt go pop untill the third song. And then the fourth song is one of the best of the whole album. So clearly you did not listen to it, you’re just acting like a bitch who says they did.

          If you dont like quality music from an artist who cares then fine by me. Taylor swift is the most American personality there is and i love her for that.

            You may be overthinking this. For every virtuoso, musical genius, there exist people that do not like their music.

            Some people love Michael Jackson, some people don’t. Same with the Beatles, Madonna, and Taylor Swift.

            Musical taste is one of the most subjective topics that exist.

        Counterpoint, you’re a dick. People like what they like, and if someone is not impressed by your “muse” or whatever, no reason to jump at their throat. It is not like they insulted it or called it hot steaming garbage, they just politely stated it wasn’t their cup of tea.

        Wikipedia describes the first two songs as

        A 1980s-inspired downtempo electropop and synth-pop ballad

        and

        A synth-pop song

        Both those are still pop. I listened to the first few songs in the album. They’re not bad, and imo they’re more interesting than her earlier hits. You’re right that she has matured as an artist. But I imagine someone that disliked her earlier stuff would also dislike these. Music taste is something you can’t really be right or wrong about. You shouldn’t accuse someone of lying about listening to something just because they didn’t like it.
