UNPOPULAR TAYLOR SWIFT OPINIONS | answering your questions, getting spicy 

epiphany is a weird song for me but i hold it close to my heart because folklore came out the day i joined the army and i was TERRIFIED but when i saw the tracklist i claimed epiphany and with the first verse being about a soldier at war, it felt like the universe telling me i was doing the right thing

You should tier rank all of her attempts to be an actress from “bad” to “extremely traumatizing”.

taylor really really needs to do rock/punk versions of some of her songs tbh.. i mean we've seen the rock version of we are never ever getting back together and we know that she's covered songs like untouchable in fearless and i believe covered neon trees in concert so she's def been interested

Somehow Taylor is not something you outgrow. I’m 72, yes it’s a little embarrassing but as long as she keeps making better and better music I will keep listening. My first exposure to Taylor was the Teardrops video. What I saw was a young girl being exploited. Changed my mind and jumped into her discography after seeing her perform ATW on the Grammys. Love your insights into the early years I missed

Here's an idea! Taylor Swift announces a world tour tomorrow. Come up with a setlist that would be YOUR best case scenario (if you had full control over the tour), and then come up with a more REALISTIC setlist that may be closer to what we actually get.

Speak Now is art.

I’ve been a Swiftie since the Fearless album and I loveeee Daylight. I don’t get the hate 😢

love all the speak now praise in this video its truly one of her best albums, also can't wait for next week

For a future video idea: I'd be curious about your thoughts on all of the album covers. Especially with the rerecords, it's interesting to see what changes and what stays the same for each era.

omg i'm a speak now stan

HAHAHA the thread between those songs is that they’re dripping in honey happy LOL like cavity-inducing forced bop happiness! i adore paper rings and vibe w king of my heart and think stay 3x is cute but dorothea is too happy without being rooted in reality (obvs, bc it’s a story) for me to enjoy.

i absolutely agree on lover being taylors weakest album. its not that bad but its definitely not the best one and i will never understand swifties on tiktok that are attacking people for putting lover lower on their ranking lists. ps i LOVEE your podcast :) !

I disagree with a lot of your worst songs per album (except Lover’s Me’ because that was an attack on us) but that’s okay because your delivery is iconic as per usual! Do you think she will release a perfume line (TV) during Speak Now re-recording?

what do y’all have against The Lucky One? 😭😭😭 it’s so good imo

THANKS for the i know places hate, i also hate it because growing up my parents hated taylor so i wasnt allowed to heard 1989 i only knew the radio hits and one day they decided i could listen to the whole album when i got back from school and that day at school we had indoor recess and the teach put a FIVE NIGHTS AND FREDDYS DANCE GONOODLE VIDOE with i know places as the "music" for it she was like 'this song fits the vibe of the video its my fav song from the new ts album" and in that moment I wanted to kms and i almost didnt want to hear the album because of how much that traumatized me and now i cant unhear it.

Omg I was obsessed with Avril before Taylor too lol 💛 Funny enough my fav Taylor album is Speak Now too, maybe because it's so Avril-esque? I've also run a Lana fanpage for 5 years, she's defo much more chaotic to analyze than Taylor, unpredictable queen lol Binging your videos now, you're so well spoken and insightful!

7:21 me being a swiftie for 5 years and standing daylight 💀

Speak Now Supremacy. Dear John (Taylor's Version) is sponsoring my Kleenex box budget in preparation and I have 911 on stand by because I don't think I'm going to make it through Speak Now (TV) in one piece. Especially not if Safe and Sound/Eye's Open are vault tracks (I don't see why they wouldn't be).

i think the most controversial and unpopular opinion i have is that this is why we can’t have nice things is severely underrated. it’s my favorite song from rep. i also rank rep second to last out of all her albums bc i find i skip so many songs on it. ready for it, end game, so it goes, new year’s day, gorgeous (sometimes), all skips

PAPER RING IS A GOOD SONG OH MY GODDDDD. Stop the slander! It’s literally romcom pop rock perfection 😭😭😭 it’s NOT on stayx3 category. Stay x3 was youtube ukelele Music! Paper ring is serotonin booster.

i need explanation of i bet you think about me!! i thought it was a bop but maybe i’m wrong??

re the 1989 vaults - where does the idea that there were 100 songs written for 1989 come from? I feel like it’s similar to the “10 minute ATW” urban legend…but I also think it’s possible that she was SO manically determined to write the album of her career that she wrote at least 10 more songs (not 100). whether she would be willing to release those songs is another matter…

A mitski x Taylor swift song would make the world stop turning. In the best way !

YASSS i can’t wait for the secret sessions vid 🙏🙏🙏

Suggesting Superman is about her dad makes me gag, mind you I don’t like the song but it is NOT about Scott Swift, maybe give it another listen

Am I the only one that actually likes 'A Place In This World'? 😂 it is very Disney-ish tbf but at the age that I was when I first heard it, I loved those songs and even now the nostalgia creeps in so I actually do unironically really like it 😂 the song I don't mind eliminating on Debut would probably be 'The Outside' On Fearless for me, it's a tough one but probably 'Breathe' cause I just think it's forgettable Speak Now - Innocent (really hasn't aged well) Red - Stay Stay Stay (btw I don't think it's an unpopular opinion to not like that one loool, I've mostly just seen hate for it ngl) 1989 - I know this is an unpopular opinion but I honestly just don't understand the hype for AYHTDWS 😂 I just think it's boring and a bit annoying Reputation - Probably Ready For It or End Game just so she'd pick better songs as singles lol Lover - ME! (no contest) although there's probably a fair amount of songs I would be ready to cut out of the tracklist 😂also as a fan since like Fearless, I have to say I like Daylight 🤧 I get your point about it seeming forced but also the sound is nice and that throwback to Red felt special at the time, and also when I first listened to Lover I was pretty disappointed so this was actually one of the 4 or 5 highlights for me Folklore - While I agree Taylor should stay out of politics, I actually think this was really well-executed in Epiphany, it's not forced and it's inspired by her grandfather as well as the situation we were in at the time. I'm in the UK which was very badly hit by Covid and every day the number of deaths from Covid would be announced on TV in the evening, and at one point it was over 1000 deaths per day. Our healthcare system couldn't handle the number of cases and doctors and nurses saw nothing but death and grief every day. It was honestly extremely depressing, scary, and did feel like a war of sorts, so the parallel to war makes perfect sense. A song I would cut from this album might be Invisible String - it's cute but now that Mastermind's out I think it's negated 😂 Evermore - maybe the title track, I've listened to it the least Now that Midnights is out I wonder what your answer for that would be (I place my bets on The Great War? loool) but for me, the song I would cut would be Glitch, I just don't vibe with it

I agree with you on King Of My Heart. I want to like that song but the "King of my heart, body and soul" completely takes me out of the song and I feel like the addition of body and soul is super weird. It would've been fine just leaving it at king of my heart.

Okay I totally agree with your opinions about the ‘stay x3’ and ‘paper rings’ category songs, though I can’t really pin down exactly what I don’t like about them. Maybe it’s because they have this weird brightness that kinda feels awkward and almost unsettling? to me Idk why. Taylor’s brighter-feel songs like Fearless, Today Was A Fairytale, Enchanted (still in shock 6-y.o me was right about this being the underdog of the decade she just got the decade wrong), etc. are usually my favourites off an album so maybe I also just judge those songs harsher and therefore dislike stay x3, paper rings, dorothea and komh and all that more than the average Swiftie?

This might need a video to answer properly, but what are the bonus songs and vault songs that deserved to be on the original albums?

YES i’m so here for a video reviewing her perfumes!! the nostalgia omg

Ooh also Paper Rings and Dorothea are both in the same key and follow nearly the same chord progression, except Dorothea uses G where Paper Rings uses Bm. Maybe you don’t like the tones of the progression in that key - it’s kinda interesting that even though the vibes of those songs are different, they’re melodically similar!

Our opinions are so different (affectionate) but you did justice to I Think He Knows in your Lover video and you are so correct about I Know Places so we’re ok we’re good 🙏💋

i really like hearing your opinions about songs even if i don't necessarily agree with them so i'm sorry that you get actual hate for them omg 😭 you singlehandedly opened my eyes to the brilliance of if this was a movie so like !!!! keep speaking your truths they're always entertaining

the stay stay stay / paper rings / dorothea annoying melodies are valid tho

Finally a sane swiftie who is not afraid to speak their truth. Video idea: ranking all vault tracks Love your videos by the way ❤️

I relate to your dislike for "I Know Places" melodically. What you said made perfect sense! 😊

You are absolutely correct that Change is the worst song on Fearless, it's literally dead last in my ranking of all her songs lmao

i"ve been a swiftie since red and one of my top 10 songs is daylight. I just like the melody, that"s it

All You Had To Do Was Stay trauma solidarity 🙃 As a fellow old timer Swiftie, I am so thrilled to have found your channel and subscribed

Ty for answering my question on future genres :) I agree - would love to see some rock vibes from Taylor. I think it would be a good way to transition away from pop princess as she matures. I also think the rock genre could be quite diverse for her - it could include pop rock as you mentioned, pop punk (which could go down well, given how popular Olivia Rodrigo’s good 4 u has been) and some rock folk, which would link to evermore.

I prefer Exile over Last Time as a collab!

daylight is like taylor's whole biography ! I don't think one's allowed to hate that lol

Taylor literally doesn't have a bad song. I mean come-on now! All the worst songs he mentioned are my legit favorite gems. A place in this world, superman, the lucky one???!! Girl, u have no taste sorry 😭

hi i’ve just been over here binging your videos but the “if this was a movie” rant you did about the bridge is something i’ve thought about for so long. like the lyrics i sing are based off the lyrics online but i agree that no one actually knows what she’s saying including me so thank you for reigniting that fire inside me lol 😂

Omg !!! Change is my favorite top 3 from fearless!! Epiphany my favorite from folklore I loveeeee it.

you mentioned plastic hearts. do you like miley’s plastic hearts album?? i’ve been a swiftie since fearless era and i recently listened to plastic hearts and loved itttt. i feel like swifties and miley fans don’t really overlap but i was wondering what you thought of that album

yes, chemtrails is so good! I agree with most of your worst song picks, except I actually like A Place in This World, I Know Places and King of my Heart. I think you said it before yourself, the songs you don't like contain some sort of unbridled enthusiasm that makes you embarrassed for her haha

When I saw her throw the chair (watching her Netflix doc in 2011) I became a Swiftie

I was SO shocked to hear u don’t like “I know places” but I respect ur opinion

New Video Idea : YOUR SKINCARE ROUTINE. HELP US CROCODILE SKIN PEOPLE HIII

I just thought I'd throw it out there... I love Daylight - it's no where near my favorite on the album, but I do love it - and I'm an OG fan. I've been listening to her music since Tim McGraw dropped on CMT.

Could you do an ‘objectively best song from each album’? Mine is: Teardrops on My Guitar Love Story Dear John ATW10 Blank Space CIWYW Cruel Summer my tears ricochet RWYLM

Is there a reason you’re invested and care/ know the most about Taylor not just the artist but also the person ? Is it just cause she seems the most interesting compared to everyone else and is obviously the biggest or is it just cause she’s your favourite musician?

Liking All You Had to Do Was Stay but disliking I Know Places is illogical to me

We......agree on so much oh my goodness even on the Lana stuff WHAT

The king of my heart bridge is so catchy though. It's one of those songs that I wouldn't care for otherwise but the bridge is so life giving that I have to like it.

I honestly love i know places but its nice to hear your insight. Thanks for the video❤

you answered my question 🤩🤩 made my day ty zack

I cannot wait for next Sunday!!! I've been dying to get a SS video like this aaaah

Surely it's "I've been waiting for you ~ever since~ you've been gone", it makes the most sense

TOTALLY AGREE W THAT DOROTHEA BASH. CAN WE PRETEND IT DOESNT EXIST. THE CHORUS MADE ME GO THROUGH AN EXORCISM

Actually Taylor planned to name her first album "A Place In This World" but then she came up with the idea of just calling it Taylor Swift

I agree, i wish she would bring back all the perfumes. Especially the wonderstruck collection 😭😭😭😭

I happen to find I know places A PERFECT POP SONG it elivers the exact vibe that it should .

GENUINE QUESTION : What’s the tea with her dad Scott? Is he shady???

Holy Ground and State Of Grace is the best

I Know Places is my favorite song in 1989 my jaw just dropped 🤣🤣🤣

I will say this once and once only but Stuff that is painfully average/ boring will always be worst then something that is just straight up bad.

Agree about I Know Places.

I never knew about the if this was a movie tea 🍵 ... I just assumed it was everyday since you've been gone 🙈🙈🙈

i love how ur not annoying about taylor’s version. liek we ALL know that most of the time the original just has something abt that makes it better 😊

i actually really like daylight and i've been a swiftie since 2011 so idk about your math there but i respect your opinion lol

"I've been waiting for you and all at once you are the one I have been waiting for!" This is the most logical answer to this. BASED.❣️

I agree with you about I Know Places. It’s annoying and I never listen to it. Love ur channel & ur brutal honesty

i feel like a good title if her debut wasn't self titled would be Butterfly since that's a huge visual in the debut era and because shes going through teenage hood till she bursts out of her cocoon like a butterfly

How do you think she plans to re record Better Than Revenge?

What are your thoughts on people saying that there is a whole album in the vault?

hi zach! i love your content! can you please do a video on unreleased songs and your opinions on them? i would love that!

favorite song opener and closing song? (it's ok if the two are in different albums)

I feel so validated and seen as I sit with my spreadsheet of album rankings and my last songs on each are: Debut: A Place In This World, A Perfectly Good Heart Fearless: Untouchable, Jump Then Fall Speak Now: Superman Red: Stay Stay Stay 1989: All You Had To Do Was Stay, I Know Places Reputation: Endgame Lover: Paper Rings folklore: Seven Evermore: Cowboy Like Me

I haaaaaaate Dorothea (but as a nurse with a grandfather that fought in WW2 in the pacific campaign, I am obsessed with Epiphany 🤷‍♀️)

yas, so excited

You can try out an artist called "The Midnight" They specialize in Synthpop. I'd suggest you listening to Los Angeles or Lost Boy! They are great!

Not you calling me a new swiftie for liking Daylight 😭 Not my fave but I still like it help

Funny enough, I agree with all your dislikes. As much as I love Taylor and her amazing lyrics, the songs you mentioned you don’t like probably resonates with her a lot more but not for me personally. I’ve read somewhere about a theory on Dorothea. Apparently it’s about her friendship with Selena as that’s her favourite character from the Wizard of Oz. Not sure how truthful that is but that made me like the song more! Love your channel btw! I really appreciate how you can be so vocal about your thoughts and your criticalness!!

I totally agree with I Bet You Think about me. It’s so corny and she did really bad at trying to recreate her country accent, not to mention the “kitchen table bills” line like girl…. you’ve been rich af since like 17 years old

I have never ever ever ever enjoyed listening to I Know Places. I know EXACTLY what you're talking about, it simply does not sound good.

ok woah so many comments , but superman about john mayer! not scott swift! but yes deeply disturbing song

8:13 the tie between Stay Stay Stay, KOMH, Paper Rings, and Dorothea is twee. They're all (to some degrees more so than others) laced (KOMH & Dorothea) or doused (Stay Stay Stay & Paper Rings) with twee. They're all on their manic pixie dream girl Zooey Deschanel vintage dresses 2012 BS. (ngl though I go hard for Dorothea and Stay Stay Stay oopsie)

I still think ME! Is overhated idc, argue with the wall y'all Cuz this girl still bops to ME! Actually did few hours ago, plus can't be the worst song when INTHAF is in this universe....AND more then that Lover is NOT her worst song bc debut exist and 1989 is overrated, it's a good album ofc but not her best, is in the top 5 but not 1

Wait but isn’t Superman about John Mayer?? Like the chorus line “I loved you from the very first day” is the secret message to Dear John, John has a song where he says “I wanna be Superman”, also the lines “I hope you don’t take some other girl” and “I’m lovestruck” - I don’t think those would be directed at her dad? Lol But I’ve seen some people say the song could have multiple meanings/be directed at multiple people so maybe it’s that!

As for your list of least favorite songs - a common thread I see is that most of them are more happy/hopeful tracks? I don’t think that means you dislike happy music, but rather that Taylor may be better at writing melancholy music, or that she’s more practiced at exercising that muscle.

At the time I swore Change was about Obama’s 2008 campaign 😂😂😂

Speak now, red and 1989 and art masterpiece 10/10 a serve a everything good wbk

So agree with the change/long live comment!

Tbh i mever listening to i know places because i can't get passed the I I I at the beginning, I someone hate what that sounds like...always skip it when i hear those first notes

Wait why do people want Lana cancelled

New swifties be like *ranks first 4 albums at bottom 4* *it’s nice to have a friend is their favorite song* *being an asshole to other fans or being the complete opposite and being the nicest person ever* *stanning rep too much to the point where they pray to it every night* *sorry for these unpopular yet factual statements*

This video after TTPD and the deep dive with matt healy 😂, she is furious, but not quite grunge

I really wanna see your block list 😂😭 some swifties be crazy
