Is she going to pose nude or what?

And was it ever confirmed she got bolt-ons?

She's got good songs, bad songs, annoying songs, catchy songs.

She's real at times and fake at others. Overall I like her even with the occasional major eye roll.

I don't know anything about Taylor Swift, the only two songs I can think of are Teardrops on my Guitar and Never Ever (or whatever it's called), but I like The National.

I clicked on this thread by accident, you're welcome for my opinion.

Is it in commercials? I think I know the song you're talking about but I didn't know it was Taylor Swift.

I Don't Wanna Live Forever was the theme from one of the Fifty Shades movies and is in the top 100 most played songs of all time on Spotify so you might know that one too. Or recognize it at least.

I can say I've never listened to a TS song in it's entirety.

It's funny how she has become the heel of the pop world recently. If Kanye has just waited 10 years to run up on stage and steal the microphone from her, he would have probably been praised.
You often see celebrities have this arc. Jennifer Lawrence is a good example. Around 2012, it seemed that people couldn't get enough of her. Then she got a little overexposed and her act became sort of annoying.
Are you referring to The Fappening?


I actually wasn't, although it definitely looks that way.

I listened to some of her music because of this thread. Pretty good stuff. Pleasantly surprised.

I like this album. I've listened to it multiple times now. There's no one huge stand out song to me, but I also don't dislike any. It's an easy one to put on play and go.

I'm a big Taylor Swift fan (both her old country music and more current pop alums) but this new album was such a snooze. No memorable songs, nothing catchy, and I don't really see myself actively listening to it ever again unlike most of her other albums which I put on all the time.

I feel like if she released this near the start of quarantine maybe it would have fit better because people were down in the dumps. Now we're in the heart of summer and this just doesn't fit

For me, "exile" is quickly becoming one of the best songs of the year. Easily my favorite on the album - an album that's really growing on me the more I listen.

I feel like Exile is "good" and then the bridge hits and holy hell it jumps a number of levels to great.

Yeah, it's a cool duet. Has a "Total Eclipse" vibe at certain points

The emotion in Justin Vernon's voice when they are playing off each other is pretty awesome. And then this lyric:

'Cause you never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)
So many signs, so many signs
You didn't even see the signs

I am a big fan of Tswift, but I wasn't able to finish the album the first time around. Made it 8 songs in.

Guess not my cup of tea.

If I decide I want to drink a handle of Jack alone in the dark and play Russian roulette, this could be my first choice of an album to play in the background.


Also, if I didn't know this was a Tswift album, I would have sworn I was listening to Lana Del Rey

Exile is great. I would probably credit it Bon Iver (feat Taylor Swift).

The gang got together to do a live version of the album.

Worth a watch if you have Disney+

Another new album at midnight tonight called Evermore with another track with Bon Iver and one with Haim. Pretty excited for that. I'm liked Folklore a lot so I'm hoping for more of the same. There's been a nice change of direction since Reputation, so I hope it continues.

I'm in the camp that folklore is her best album, and can't wait for evermore.

folklore is far and away my album of the year. FINALLY received the colored vinyl this week and have been spinning it all week.

Already ordered the colored evermore vinyl. Just waiting for my digital email to listen.

Swift and Sturgill Simpson are the queen and king of quarantine. He just announced his Vol 2 of his bluegrass record today. Two albums a piece this year.

I can't listen to music at work right now, but checked out track listing and see one with The National.. which is just incredible news to me.

Folklore was a great album. Hope this one is close.

Gave it a quick once over and this **** is fire. She's batting 1.000 this year.

I gave Evermore a spin or two earlier today. It was good, but not as good as 1989 or Folklore, though you could definitely tell that it had its genesis in the same writing sessions as Folklore. The standout tracks for me were Gold Rush; No Body, No Crime; Dorothea; Coney Island; and Long Story Short.

The National was used to good effect on Coney Island. On the flip side, I didn't think too highly of the title track, which was with Bon Iver - I don't think he was put to best use in the song. With respect to No Body, No Crime, I can't help thinking that it would've been better if it had been done in a more R&B or country style (think Blu Cantrell's "Hit 'Em Up Style" or Carrie Underwood's "Before He Cheats"). HAIM was good on the song, though.

Also, someone needs to show her how to capitalize words. I'll tolerate that stuff from e.e. cummings, but no further.

Will this album have a song trashing her latest ex-boyfriend? Who is her latest ex-boyfriend?
