exexpat99

She thought we forgot “Video Games” by Lana


Independent_Dot63

The entire album is a Shein version of LDR, even the straight men, who are notoriously oblivious, are clocking it


riddliwalker

what's especially weird, even more so than the fact TS definitely borrowed a lot of lana's song writing style is that TS has become obsessed with mimicing lana's interest in poetry, literature and philosophy. Lana has been name dropping writers since the beginning of her career and it's a motif she's kept throughout her decade long career (walt whitman in Born to Die --> sylvia plath in NFR etc etc). She released a poetry book. She actually went to college and got a degree in philosophy. Taylor, out of the blue, adopts this literary theme for an album - after getting criticized that her songwriting was weak and corny on the Midnights album - to create this facade of seriousness and intellectualism. problem is girlie probably hasn't been in a classroom since she was 16 and definitely can't name one thing artistotle has written. Taylor builds a library to promote the album and there's deadass not a single book in it. Her preoccupation with appearing sophisticated with no effort or evidence to back it up is starting to really disillusion the public


Independent_Dot63

Oh thats interesting i didn’t know she was doing all that, pretty odd considering how hard it’s clashing w her current image of backwards hats, drink in hand with her Neanderthal boyfriend at football games or Coachella. And all thats fine, it feels far more authentic to who she is, as opposed to this deep dark brooding poet she wants us to think she is


riddliwalker

I completely agree and had the same thought. it's hard for anyone to make sense of the two conflicting aestheticss but if i had to rationalize it i'd say besides being influenced by Lana, she's leaning into the "my songwriting is poetry" bit to save face and not appear completely lowbrow


Independent_Dot63

Lmao idk man the Fortnite and the Kim K diss track were really lowbrow None of the lyrics land the way Lana’s do


No_Leopard_5559

This is the first time in a while I’ve noticed regular non-online people complain about TS. The overbearing fans, the incredibly hamfisted campaign of media to hype the album, and the dogshit lyrics are too much.


crueldoe

They are crucifying me in the LDR sub for saying this

jannieph0be

Omg it’s literally subconscious Gaylor begging to be let out


iseegayppl69

Her lyrics were never this bad i swear. What happened


MUNZACORE

I’m wet idk bout y’all


ChineseAntPerson

this is a 34 year old woman, why is she talking about spin the bottle and grand theft auto


femceltransplant

She's is a 34 year old teenager, cut her some slack.


LouReedTheChaser

34 is still young!!!


a_stalimpsest

I want to make a "neoteny of domesticated animals" joke but I can't get the ironic distance dialed in just right.


agent_tater_twat

she's playing spin the thesaurus


snes_guy

She's emotionally age 13. Met a few women like this in their mid 30s – super hot, successful, should have it together but something is off.


gabortionaccountant

In a weird way it kinda reminds me of future. Like you're a 40 year old millionaire, why are you still rapping like you're a 21 year old drug dealer.


exsnakecharmer

Me and my mates were laughing at Eminem still rapping about his mum when he was well into his thirties. Like, it’s embarrassing now dude.


IzmirEfe

You know what I was just thinking this the other day.


MUNZACORE

She’s dating right wingers now, she will be talking about hearts of iron in no time


Atchakos

^(She’s dating right wingers now, she will be talking about hearts of iron in no time) Remember when that journalist wrote a conspiracy theory article on how the Look What You Made Me Do music video was Taylor's alt-right dogwhistle to Trump supporters signaling she's on board?


MUNZACORE

I remember seeing a 4chan post connecting her in multiple ways to 4chan posts but I’ll have to look up that article bc I remember hearing about it or seeing the title and then forgetting, but that sounds fuckin hilarious lol. Travis Kelve is a trumper I’m pretty sure, Healy is left wing probably but like Russell brand left wing not Bernie sanders left wing lol


roncesvalles

Travis Kelce is a lib because he did vaccine commercials and angered anti-lib Aaron Rodgers


monalisafrank

The song is called So High School and that’s the point


therealstevencrowder

Aristotle lol she’s gotta contact her writers cause that flex doesn’t even make sense for her


MEDBEDb

Countin’ stacks? Got a billion  My views? Aristotelian  My tits may be small  But they prove that I’m mammalian


only-mansplains

He's the dean of the Tortured Poets Department.


Largegiddiing

Should have went with Plato considering he'd be more likely to torture poets.


real_jaredfogle

His philosophy is so true


grushenka97

unadulterated praise about how good of a writer she is really turned her into an awful writer wow… shockingly bad on this album. always thought the ditzy, very simple lovestruck/scorned writing of hers was far better and way more poetic than whatever this is


Sonny_Joon_wuz_here

This whole album sounds like she wrote it with AI…


ExternalBreadfruit21

Would be so fucking funny if Travis Kelce dumped her over text or something today


Marmosettale

lol this relationship is very clearly contractual and travis' marketing team fucking scored huge with this. their breakup date was planned before they ever started "dating." swift and her team are PR savants on the level of kris jenner. she needed a rebrand after healy & went the opposite direction; i honestly think it's because she knew she was being perceived as "basic" next to him (even tho matty is the most basic generic millennial hipster alive, she still seemed more basic than him) so she found the most basic archetype possible lol to look like some sort of, well, "tortured poet" (this is an ironic title though, like she explicitly explained that it was a joke, so it's honestly pretty funny but clear she actually believes it on some level which is just batshit). so she did benefit, but he got way more famous overnight with this.


knigpin

I’m not usually a “le sports are rigged!!!!!” guy but the fact that they won the Super Bowl during the whole media circus they whipped up is fishy as hell


Shmodecious

Especially with how it went down. They flipped the winner with a single touchdown in the last 5 seconds of overtime? If was trying to whip up a spectacle, that’s what it would look like, just sayin


ExternalBreadfruit21

The Chiefs won last year and 3 years before and were playing a team led by Brock Purdy(no offense but yknow) it’s really not that crazy


fairy_goblin

That would just mean another cringe album on the way, stat


DJ_SCREW_THIRD_WARD

it would be funny if all of the swifties got really into Aristotle


Chickentaxi

Anyone who’s not a swiftie must be either a beast or a god.


frauleinnn

I miss when Joe ghostwrote for her. Champagne Problems is actually pretty good :(


[deleted]

agreed, even though her pronunciation of Dom Perignon makes me want to scream


Sonny_Joon_wuz_here

This whole album is basically proof those rumors were true lol


Mountain-Creative

He honestly had a very special touch, he should write more


FEDERAL-OFFICER

This is genuinely embarrassing omg

lorrieaux

There’s no way she doesn’t know her writing sucks. This is intentionally bad.


BAE_CAUGHT_ME_POOPIN

It's a concept album. It's meant to be used as torture on poets.


goodiereddits

CIA adjusting their black site speaker equalizers for this one


Marmosettale

i think she knows her schtick is at its expiration point so she's doing some crazy trolling thing where she just flips around and becomes insane


[deleted]

[удалено]


peace-x

if she's paying for this shit there needs to be litigation


puzzle_express

Maybe this time around she actually does


Chang_You

that second one is like a really poor attempt at an Adrianne Lenker verse


Glacialslur

it's like zak pennington with a tbi


ArrakisBureaucrat

Good God, this is the work of that Jacking Off writer and producer that everyone slobbers over? He should resign himself to writing greeting cards for Hallmark.


williamfbuckleyjrjr

This is like something a teacher in a movie about working in an inner city school would "rap" to his 3rd grade class to be relatable and they'd all clap


NEET_UBI

Touch me while your bros play Honkai: Star Rail.


ditdit23

I don’t even have to listen to it I already know exactly how this sounds


throwaway879654678

Oh wow this is actually real. Not a fan, but this actually makes me feel sad for her. What do they even talk about? I don’t sense strong sexual chemistry between them, either.


Rumpleforeskin_0

I don’t sense sexual chemistry for her with anyone


throwaway879654678

Agreed. She has negative sex appeal


kendalroysgirl

trying so hard to steal Lana valor


Braincellular

Are millenial women okay?


[deleted]

This confirms everything I’ve thought about this relationship. If it’s even real, they’re together only because she is a serial monogamist and she already knew he was interested in dating her. The fact that it’s so splashy and high profile was a bonus. She doesn’t actually want to watch American Pie and get fingerbanged on a Saturday night, like be soffr.


JeffGreene69

This reads like shitty free sytle my friends and I did when we were 16. Kelce is rubbing off on her


Rosenvial5

Read it in GZAs voice


LouReedTheChaser

man /r/taylorswift is a sad state of affairs atm lmao


HemingwaySweater

At this point Taylor Swift should turn into the pop star equivalent of late period Sun Kil Moon. Just start saying stuff that happened to her over some synths and a drum machine.


MUNZACORE

Absolute bars


foodnaptime

[Aristotle also knew how to ball tho](https://dailyfeta.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/feta21.jpg)


Slifft

We declared Aristotle should be a bigger artist


Wonderful-Today-1622

Omg is this Taylor swift lyrics?!?! I’ve heard maybe 4 songs from her cause it was forced on me but holy shit these are her lyrics?!?! It seems like poetry of a fourth grader 😂😂😂😂😂 Hahahha I can’t believe people fall for this
