Speak now was the most important to the trajectory of her career, with out speak now, she would still be a teeny bopper country-pop starlet and probably fade into obscurity like some of the people who copied their careers off of debut and fearless. Speak now was the starting step, her experimenting with pop and light rock and punk pop influences without the fuse of speak now, there wouldn't be the impact to her genre experimenting that was red. Also I think her leaving BMR wouldn't have happened without speak now, her writing a whole album just by herself helped her learn that what she said mattered and how she may have wanted to own her work. Finally, speak now helped changed her reputation for better or for worse. it helped (along with forever and always) make her 'boy breaks up with her, then she drags him around town square.' narrative. So, speak now IS that girl and I'm still mad that it only got nominated for best COUNTRY album when it should have clearly won aoty.

My unpopular opinion is that I absolutely love Midnights. It has no skips for me. It might be my favorite in her discography. The notion of it being very scattered is something I agree with and even relate to because that is now my mind and writing style works. But I agree that it is not her best album.

@naima9818 Год назад

i think, purely from a literature student perspective, wouldve couldve shouldve is such an interesting song to dissect. the religious imagery, THE BRIDGE AND THIRD VERSE, the call back by not repeating "shouldve" in the chorus since she repeated "i shouldve known" in dear john. i just love it so bad. its definitely not a better song that atw but i do think, from an outside non swiftie perspective, i can see why people are so enamoured by it.

I love Lover to bits, it holds a very special place in my heart and is heavily represented in my top 10 list of Taylor’s songs, but I agree that it’s an album that is in dire need of an editor. I mean, it’s 18 tracks long! No album that long isn’t going to produce multiple skips. I could be wrong, but I got the impression at the time that the economics of having Lover be her first album with her new label incentivized this kind of bloat. With her entire catalog owned by Scooter at that point, I imagine she felt compelled to release as many new songs as she could so that she could have plenty of content up that would be her own. That may have left her to be less discriminating than she should have been about what to cut and what to release. That doesn’t explain her crazy single choices for that album though 😅

I feel like Taylor and the female artists she collaborates with choose how involved they are on the record together.

About swifties having a more open mind when it comes to sound and genre, I think that's a really interesting take. On the other hand, I love pop, such as some Red, 1989, Repuation, and Lover, and normally more upbeat songs, but when folklore and evermore were introduced, I was reminded why I fell in love with Taylor in the first place: her lyricism. I think it's important to learn how to like different kinds of music. You can't listen to the exact same type of music forever, even if you prefer it.

my unpopular opinion: swifties should stop getting worked up when someone isn't a fan of or doesn't vibe with fan favorite albums. this fandom is so obsessed with policing every fan's liked/disliked taylor music. Also its almost 2023, there are many taylor albums to stream instead of hating on lover. And do you even get the sentiment behind daylight properly? bc i think you should rethink.

@kassiani_626 Год назад

Yeah but he don't love her really bugs me. I understand what is entitled to their opinion, but I think it's more that people just don't get it. Like I think people see it as very forced and very contrived and they think it's all over the place, but that doesn't make sense to me at all. Like I think there's only one song other that really doesn't fitted with the whole "Lover" theme and that is I forgot that you existed. But I do love that song. I do think it was a good transition between reputation and lover. But the songs of lover perfectly describe the nuanced feelings and experiences of being really truly and love. There's so many moments on there that take you through different pathways of being with your soulmate. And I think daylight means so much to me because I know that feeling of being a darkness and misery for a really long time and being at the point of pretty much giving up on relationships and then finding that person and it changes your whole outlook on everything. I also love that she references red in it where it's sort of shows her growth in her perspective. Hey Cordelia Street perfectly describes that like anxious fear when you love somebody so much that you know the loss of them would utterly destroy you so you're just praying that it never ends... I totally could get it to that song until I really fell in love. So it bothers me because I think that people critique lover because they don't personally vibe with it, and they think it makes it actually a bad album. But I think if you're in a similar headspace to where she was when she wrote it it makes a whole lot of sense and that people should stop tearing it apart just because they don't get it. Lover may not be for you but that does not mean that it's a bad album.

@notamorfati Год назад

i was obsessed with Midnights when it first came out too! I couldn’t stop listening to it and streamed it daily. But now, i don’t really listen to it as much as i did before, sometimes i might listen to my favorite tracks but other than that i’m not really into Midnights anymore

@tasneem2013 8 месяцев назад

That’s the case for me too and when I was ranking it the other day I realized that I thought a lot of the songs were okay. The 3 am editions feel like the real highlights though

@christianrobles4411 Год назад

Not you tearing me apart. I still stand by the fact that Lover was important to the way she changed her image afterwards. And no, I don't think it's on the same level as Red (because Red is actually good lolz). I like to think as Red as a bridge between two versions of herself, while Lover was a bit of a roadblock that forced her to change direction. Idk if that makes sense.

@naima9818 Год назад

no you were literally right. lover being a "bad" album was what let her let go and create folklore and evermore. i feel like the fact that it didnt do as well made her realise that her best works are the ones that are authentic.

unpopular opinion apparently? lover has amazing songs and the worst songs on it aren't as bad as people make them out to be (except me) i do think lover is a really important album for taylor and you can tell she was so proud of it when it came out. i definitely think that if we got lover fest people would appreciate it more and taylor would be able to make up for the fashion crimes (like she has on the eras tour for lover) i really think that loverfest would've had the same effect for lover songs that the eras has but on a much bigger scale: ive seen a bunch of people revisiting lover and maathbp since the start of tour. i also just love the sound of lover and its diversity so much and i stand firmly by the affirmation that inthaf walked so that the style of song she wrote for folkmore could run. i also think that the great war and wcs are such lyrically interesting songs if you actually analise them ( as a lit girlie i love doing this type of thing with taylors songs) also im sorry but daylight is an amazing song that really symbolises where Taylor was post rep, not during the lover era but in the afterglow of rep and in finding happiness and being healthy and in a healthy relationship.

@the3rdquark Год назад

Thanks for calling out the bad vocals at the beginning of the lover era, the Amazon prime day concert truly haunts me- the vocals were almost as bad as the fearless era. Part of me wonders if she had a lot of anxiety at this time in her career, what with turning 30, the mixed reviews of the lover album, and losing the rights to all her previous albums. Because the vocals just before and just after were great, for the most part. Maybe this is my unpopular opinion: her vocal evolution hasn’t been a linear upwards trajectory. The overall trend has been towards improvement, but there have been some real low points even recently. And that clip of her in the studio SCREAMING the don’t blame me chorus at the microphone isn’t the serve that people think it is, lol.

(Note that most vocal coaches on here are very reluctant to criticize Taylor, though, for fear of backlash.) BUT it’s clear that she is straining and it would not be sustainable for her to sing that way every night (and she doesn’t, which is good!) It’s a fine clip, but I don’t think it’s a good example of her strengths as a vocalist - yet I see it shared constantly because OMG she hit a E5.

While I agree that the Easter egg thing has been more intentional since rep, the rerecords have kind of blown it out of the water. Knowing what is coming but not the order makes everything an Easter egg. Also I think the difference between 1989 era big and Midnights big is that Taylor (and her team) made 1989 once of the biggest albums of the decade. Swifties/fans made Midnights big. The entire world was talking about it bc we would not shut up.

Ok the Lover slander needs to STOP. It was a chaotic mess because it was the calm after the storm, it's the first album she fully owns. Comming off the chaos of reputation, Lover is first album that you can feel how free she is. It's the first album to have 2 political mesages, albeit YNTCD is more on the nose than MA&HP but still. Before she was too young to timid to speak freely on such topics (of fear of repercussion but regardless she still got dragged ). It has more calm love songs than longing love songs. It's a reflection of her lige in that point. It's not as bombastic as reputation or 1989 or Red because she didn't want her life to be bombastic anymore. And yes Cruel Summer should've been the leed single with a MV and everything, and yes ME! is annoying and at times childish BUT it's a silly song and she wanted to do a cheerie silly song and to just have fun. In conclusion, the slander of Lover needs to stop!

@pyarosz Год назад

Even though 1989 era was a huge commercial success and Taylor was on top of the celebrity game per say, it has always seemed so manufactured to me. There was such a drastic change in her public persona (which I know was intentional) that it hardly seemed authentic, especially that there never really was a comeback of that energy since. With the success of Midnights and the rerecordings she's become a force to be reckoned with but you can tell she gives zero f's at this point and it doesn't seem forced at all. It feels like she's just a magnet for success while doing her thing (even though it's still very strategic) - 1989 felt more like "hey look at me I'm a popstar now". Don't get me wrong - it had to be done. She wouldn't have shed the layers of a home country girl any other way. It was a moment indeed. But frankly it was one of my least favourite eras.

@WytchieBytch Год назад

Midnights is holding pretty steady at #3 for me, but I agree with you on the idea that no one song would even crack my top ten, but I think the fact that I recently gone back to listening to full albums rather than putting everything on shuffle has really affected my feelings about the album, because I love the Midnights vibe. I feel it is extremely cohesive as far as the sound is concerned and I've found it very easy to think of it as a series of dream sequences and I love it. Also while we're talking unpopular opinions Red is and always has been my least favorite album 🤷🏻‍♀️ I don't hate it, I don't think it's a bad album but I just don't get the hype for Red 🤷🏻‍♀️ I know I'm not alone in this 😅

24:07 makes me laugh because I genuinely am more excited at the thoughts of seeing Andrea at the tour than Taylor, idgaf what songs will be on the set list but I do wanna know if Andrea will be there😹

I love your shirt. One of her best albums.

Idk if this is unpopular opinion but even though I love New Year’s Day I feel like it’s the worst closing track because of how different it sounds compared to the rest of reputation. I feel like glitch would actually be a good closing track for rep.

FOLKLORE IS MY FAVORITE ALBUM BUT REPUTATION IS NO DOUBT THE BEST ERA

I want to see what Taylor will do when referencing her >2017 gossipy feast past kind of dries up (I would argue Midnights proves it already has tbh, and I'm an OG stan who remembers and loved the juicy years). She knows she hasn't given us much gossipy food after 2016, so how is she going to do Easter Eggs? Taylor knows, she'll never admit it, that her cultivating interest in her personal life has always sold records, and when she's only giving us her personal life in songs, how will she generate content in/for the Swift Metaverse?

As an Easter egg is a visual reference to something else I think Bejeweled and LWYMMD are classic examples of Easter eggs, they’re not marketing next things… that’s just the fandoms misinterpretation that “it means SN is next….” She actually references multiple different eras in BJ. Same withLover MV, same with paper airplane in Cardigan… she does it a lot just that the fans have mixed ‘hidden messages’ with Easter eggs as TS does both but they’re different things. It’s why cats, 13, etc are all Easter eggs… but not hidden messages. I think you confused the difference btn Easter egg and hidden message here. Some Easter eggs are also hidden messages but not all

Red has a lot of skips for me but the vault tracks make up for it. It holds a lot of nostalgia but I rarely find myself listening to it

@shareenoteworthy1007 Год назад

Well, let’s talk about the connection of Question, The 1, Clean and Maroon! Also The Great War, let’s us know about the fight on Cornelia Street; the fight is the same, and must have been intense!

@Koricore Год назад

I can’t believe you said the Great War is lyricism autopilot… like I can see how its connection to war has been done so many times before but I feel like it has some standout lyrics compared to a lot of the song on midnights. Maybe I’m alone in this thought 😂 but loved the video, always do.

This comment is about the "swifties with a more diverse music taste are less likely to be disappointed". I consider myself to be someone with a diverse music taste. There are some sounds I like more, there are some sounds I like less, but I will try anything and I've never really hated or even really disliked a music genre. So, when it comes to albums, I'm never really disappointed, only surprised. So I would say that this is correct, in my experience.

Blank Space is one of Taylor's best song and you can fight me.

@Burntflop Год назад

My unpopular opinion is that Lover is one of her best albums. I just think it’s beautiful that during that time she was coming out of her shell and becoming less afraid to speak of her opinions and political views, she was trying to find self acceptance. Lover really helped me and a lot of other people to come out of their shells and love themselves. I know people don’t like it as much because of the construction of the songs, but I think that the melody and beat to the songs override her simple song writing. She did have some good lyrics though, especially in “death by a thousand cuts.”

Finally! Someone who doesn’t think The Great War is gold 😂😂😂

@vvieites001 Год назад

If you’ll notice usually when she collaborates with men they’re having a conversation or back and forth with each other in the song, so it makes sense for the men to get a verse on a song about a failed relationship. I’m not sure it makes as much sense with the female collabs unless they’re talking to each other or there’s some kind of discord, if that makes sense

Lover is her best album, I said what I said

@Isabellawonder3344 Год назад

And daylight is a top 3 taylor swift song

@SuperPompona Год назад

I Respect. We are not fair to Lover. I was a bit dissapointed with lover then I realized is one of the albums I go back and listen songs the most. Too many goods songs in it, but there's a few I would cut out.

Best era and best album are definitely two different things. Evermore in my opinion is her best album but it barely had an era. Still no Long Pond :(

@rachelhu8961 Год назад

I have a very out of context request here but can you add ‘praying for a safe return of Taylor’s curly hair’ into the everyday Swiftie prayer? I just saw this line in the 2019 Elle magazine that Taylor did a photoshoot and wrote a ‘blog’ for, (Is it called a blog? I don’t know ) and I really want to do something about it😂

No the prayer is for enemies only sorry

I think the thing with her doing duets with women is also a problem since she does a lot of love songs. Like the song she did with phoebe wasn’t a love song it was an idea of becoming irrelevant that they could both relate to.

@rowan2651 Год назад

You're probably going to be waiting at my backdoor to kill me but I think lover is a better album than red. I can see why more people would prefer red, I'm not sure why I don't even prefer red over lover. The og red album fell off after tge first 6 7 tracks, I'd agree that the vault tracks on red TV are a lot better though. But lover was so fun :( I do believe maathp and cruel summer and lover and dbatc are incredible songs. I feel like people dismiss it because of its childish, colorful girly aesthetic.

I like lover, it feels like she just made music she liked and that was needed at the time. Also have her image softened. But I agree she needs an editor. Lana made snow on the beach, I only listen to the more lana del rey.

I heard a suggestion that Mastermind should have been the opening song for MNTS….

@kellieamanda11 Год назад

Ok wait. Rewatching this and what you said about Tay inviting people in during Midnights is really interesting. Confirms for me that she knew her relationship with joe was over and to put the nail in the coffin she decided to say f being private I’m going to do what I want! I could honestly see joe being so pissed about this album..and her doing it intentionally..think about question…? Hello…James?!

@zacharyrivas8074 5 месяцев назад

One of my opinions is that I wish Vigilante S*** is not only a single for Midnights, but I also wish it had a music video. If it has a music video of the song, I wish they did the chair choreography, because it's so seductive!❤

@riverhalorix4203 Год назад

@dreamchaser7603 Год назад

Unpopular opinion about You Belong With Me: The whole story Taylor told about it being based on her crush was made up!! This song&music video is based on the movie Whatever It Takes ( 2000), starring Shane West; the whole storyline of the music video was borrowed from this movie. He even says the famous line there: „You belong with me“

@nilay_nur Год назад

This is not an opinion, Taylor herself has said in an interview that it is partially made up. The story is real but Taylor didn't actually have a crush on the guy. She just heard his girlfriend scream at him on the phone and then she came up with the lyric "you're on the phone with your girlfriend shes upset".
