I haven't even watched the video yet but I just wanna say that you're braver than the US marines for posting this. Be safe and stay strong.

06:30 This is exactly how I feel about her! She still suffers from the " high school unpopular kid" syndrome and would "fall in love" with any popular man who looks at her.

I've tried to like Taylor Swift. There are some old songs I like, but there is something about her that won't let me be a real fan. I can't put my finger on it as to why, but I know at some point, whatever it is, will come to light. Maybe it's the way she handles criticism. She won't allow it as if to do so would break open a dam that would take her down.

Taylor: profits off of making songs she knows people know are about specific people, some resulting in death threats, doxxing and harassment. Some contain details about THEIR personal lives and character, some bordering on defamation. Deliberately cultivates a culture of speculation about IRL events for marketing and fanbase purposes. Makes most of her relationships, like Travis Kelce, very public. Weaponizes lyrics against people she thinks wronged her. Taylor when asked to answer for dating the problematic Matty Healy and turning a blind eye to his blatant disturbing behaviour: "You aren't allowed to speculate about my personal life, that's creepy and judgemental!" But I agree, it feels less like vulnerability and more like oversharing. By now she KNOWS her fanbase sends threats to the people in her songs, but continues to pump out said songs without even telling her fans to cool the bad behaviour. Feels like weaponization. She's fanning the flames. I try to believe victimized women about their struggles, but she's the victim in EVERY circumstance. "I can't date a racist, it's not fair!" is almost as rich as she is.

34 is the new 14?? 🤷‍♀️

An ex Swiftie here, loved the video babe. I have been a swiftie since 2011 and that slowly came to a screeching halt recently. Our Taylor, I believe is a manipulator as in SHE IS ALWAYS AND ALWAYS THE VICTIM IN EVERY SITUATION. She can't just move on. She has to send her swiftie mob via her songs to dox and harass people who've wronged her. Suing a kid for tracking her flight pattern was so low and dragging Kim's kid now to get a reaction out of her is downright evil and so very feminist of her and brand of women supporting other women. How would she have felt if her child was dragged in for a f*cking drama that happened a decade ago, like move on, get a life. When something affects her directly then she will chew them down send her mob dogs their way then why oh why in Miss Americana she said she'll be more vocal and what not and be on the right side of history, where is that spirit when its the case of g*nocide in gaza? Our queen Taylor is a selective activist and a f*cking hypocrite. She's vindictive and calculative as in the song Mastermind. She's a businesswoman first and artist second like was ripping Olivia Rodrigo that necessary where Cruel Summer(one of my favs) doesn't even sound like Deja Vu(another of my favs) like you want to copyright yelling in songs? Then touring with Sabrina Carpenter(whom Olivia had beef with but I love Sabrina nonetheless) and Paramore (who didn't even wanted to take revenue of Good for You from Olivia) I always wondered why Taylor was friends with Selena Gomez who is also ALWAYS A VICTIM and can't move on from Justin and sends her seleanators Hailey's way to harass her five years after Hailey and Justin got married like beech act your age, you are so problematic always bringing up Justin and Selena drama to sell your songs where Justin can sell Yummy🤷🏻‍♀️ and no drama is required. I have been fed the Taylor drama and Selena drama all my life and I want to move on. I will keep listening to my favs from both of these artists for the sense of nostalgia but that's it I've enough of their punching other people down.

I generally love Taylor Swift's music. Spotify says I'm in the top 1% of listeners if that says anything. I don't care about her relationships until the men involved in them become characters in her songs. This album makes me feel like I've failed because I can't relate to or understand these songs from her perspective at all. I suppose I didn't do the homework but when did it become expected to study before a T.S. album releases? Most of the songs on the album are vicious and hateful. Breakup songs aren't necessarily fun to listen to, but this album absolutely drops my mood. I haven't even been able to get through it yet. And you're right, I've kept tuning out halfway into each song because they're so boring. I don't know how she managed to write lyrics that are so "personal" yet make it sound so uninteresting. It's impressive. You put my half-formed thoughts into words and it's helped me understand why this album rubbed me the wrong way. Thanks for that. I wish Swifties didn't worship her so much and were willing to listen to criticism people have about her because a lot of it is valid. It's important not to worship people, even if we like their art sometimes, because everyone has flaws.

It is giving Drake vibes. Anything she releases will sell no matter the quality.

I haven’t watched the video, but as a swiftie I agree. I bought the damn limited edition CD just for the bonus track (sometimes she releases the bonus track once and never again), and then she released the anthology with those bonus track??? Seriously Taylor?

Fearless until Reputation + folklore and evermore will probably always be her best. I don’t think she can make better and more authentic albums at this stage of her life and success. Her time is coming to an end sooner than we anticipated.

i think it's very telling when you're praised for your songwriting abilities throughout your whole career and your whole brand is about you writing songs about your personal life and dating drama, however the finest written albums of yours (and generally most loved and most well rated) are those which are all about fictional stories and made up characters. and now, your most diaristic album to date is your worst overall by the same public opinion.

I really love this video and I appreciate your willingness to call these things out! I love Taylor, but as fans we should be allowed to criticize her. I just posted a video talking about similar topics to yours and I faced sooo much backlash from Swifties. I didn't even hate the album! I actually think the Anthology side is much better than the main album. The marketing around this sub-par album is just kind of icky to me though with selling four different versions of the vinyl and the lack luster merch. Great job on this video though, you deserve more subs!

I like Taylor Swift in the same way many men like the NFL, it's fluff entertainment I try to not look too closely at. So therefore, while I'm a fan, I welcome critique, because the more people at the party, the more fun! I think any group that takes a stance of 'just because I like it, it can't be critiqued' are the true villains.

I agree, it’s all about the 🤑

Its hilarious how the culty swifties are “bitching and moaning” in ur comment section. Ur review is legit its only the r/im14thisisdeep kids who LOVE this album. This was a huge downgrade for Taylor and i say this as a swiftie

1:51 THANKS that’s exactly how this album makes me feel. That’s why i don’t like it so much. Is like literally about her, the fun thing about music to me is to get my own interpretation or find it relatable. But this album is not relatable unless you are Taylor Swift. I find it very disappointing. The tracks that seem to be more ambiguous are the ones i actually liked.

Thank you for making this video! ❤

I agree with some of the critiques, others I think it's just a superficial read of some of the songs... All the album critiques online compiled in a video

Those peace sign egg easters are just so cringey with her terrible timing. 😬

Where’s the section that people stealing music brought us to this point?

So, swiftie here, went to reputation stadium tour , been a fan since RED. I agree with most things said in this video. Even tho i consider TTPD a personal favorite, just bc she projects in her songs how raw and rough is the depression she is facing. And since im experiencing same feelings rn cause of mental illness , i have someone to relate to. Ofc, I also acknowledge that she is a millionaire . She does the “pointing a finger” shit that look so immature in my opinion. I think TTPD was meant to be a reuse of old sounds . She is touring right now and the theme of the tour is all her eras. It is clever of her to make an album that sounds like reputation, midnights and folklore , while touring and performing her whole catalogue of music. I do believe that the whole Kim Kardashian feud has been brought up too many times . She revives it every two years but I think she really was traumatized multiple times by her and her ex husband that she means it . She says “your words still ringing in my head” , i feel like she is being honest. I personally like TTPD. I wont go out of my way ofc to defend her to anyone . I dont need to defend any billionaire. Im just enjoying music. Maybe i have weird taste . But yeah pretty good video here

this is a good video! even though i like the album as a long time fan, your criticisms are very valid. although i dont think "imgonnagetyouback" is a rip off of olivias song, since this album was in the works long before olivia released her album and its more of a reference to a 1975 song

4:16 please don't put this out into universe. dan is one of my favourite producers ever and i have been listening to the albums he has produced since 2020. he is literally reinventing pop music

Imo Sour is a phenomenal album about heartbreak, growing up, transitions. It has some edge but also introspection. TTPD is just cringe. Someone said compare Lemonade which Beyoncé released when she was around the same age as Taylor Swift is now. Lemonade is mature, creative, daring. TTPD is navel gazing and immature.

MAD RESPECT!!!! BRAVO!!!👍👏

Has Taylo loor swift got a bttr 3:07 3:10 3:12

She´s literally creating polemics with this album on purpose. It is not normal that her lyrics are so bad LMAO. Then she will use that polemics to promote Reputation (Taylor´s Version). I mean it´s so obvious bc of the way she´s been behaving these days on her instastories showing the reviews of the album and making fun of those critics that had given bad reviews to the album. She had never behaved that way she released Reputation was launched in 2015

I am 79 and English. I started listening to Taylor Swift this year.i coyld not give a flying fig about who she is singing about. Her songs are GOOD. ESPECIALLY the lyrics which I believe are almost completely her work. I don't understand rhe haters. I saw recently that someone said rhe songs on TTPDA are FAKE! How the hell can they be a fake? Are they not songs? Are they copies of other people's songs? How crazy is that? Now you are knocking her for making money. Nobody has to part with money to Taylor Swift. From what I hear she has spent a lot of her money helping others. Have you? Does she evade paying her taxes? Where is the evidence?

without an ounce of criticism....except that the album contains some of her rawest and most emotional songs that her fans obviously enjoyed, funny cuz since she is overexposed it gave some people a bucket of reasons to attack her online despite TTPD still being lyrically better than A LOT of albums released this year

never a fan of her, though i have listened to some of her music. all basic.

Not sure we listened to the same albums....TTPD is def long and raw and tough in places, but is also incredibly well written and the kind of music that becomes more and more meaningful as you listen to it. I'm not a Swiftie, I don't care about her relationships, and I don't go digging for meaning or easter eggs. I'm almost 50, and don't love her earlier work. Clearly everyone has its own opinion, as music is so very subjective, but I respectfully disagree with most of what you said. You can criticize the materialism and variants, but ... don't hate the player, hate the game?

Enough Jack she needs a different producer

Okay, let me put what I am thinking this way: criticism around this album often revolves around the complexity of her metaphors and the extensive context needed to fully grasp her lyrics… however, this is not unique to her work, if you are into poetry you would know that it's a hallmark of poetry, contextual references are celebrated and necessary and create layered meanings. Just as poetry invites readers to delve deeper and uncover hidden nuances, ttpd challenges listeners to engage more profoundly. And all of this coming from someone who has not only been in the spotlight since a kid but also loves making music (also directs her videos and writes poetry) certainly makes sense for this kind of investment in their artistic craft. Also, Swift is changing the mold of traditional pop music by infusing it with a poetic depth, which normally doesn’t work or doesn’t even happen at this level of popularity and in the pop genre. So that is also understandable that why she would receive so much hate when people don’t want her to do this, but focus on writing catchy music. While it's understandable that this might not resonate with everyone, dismissing her work because it isn't immediately accessible undermines her artistic value and innovation she brings to the genre. I would get it if it’s objectively bad stuff, but I think a lot of her criticism derives from misunderstanding, devaluing her worth, or dismissing her because she is Taylor Swift. I think just as we don't dismiss poetry for its complexity, we should appreciate Taylor’s efforts here. The amount hate is so un guaranteed. She has every right to pour her heart out to her craft, as all poets do. On top of all of this, people are trying to understand what a person with fame like that is going through is also insane to me. People are way too judgmental. Like half the music industry uses ghost writers and writes about sex and drugs, no one bats an eye- but this is where they draw the line? there’s just so much to say lol Maybe I should make a counter argument video to this 😂

Has Taylor swift got a brain

Tbh, I'm low-key a swiftie & I was a bit disappointed in the album at first too. I don't know what I was expecting but the music felt a bit bland compared to her past work imo. I've always been a "more into lyrics than beats" person but still it didn't quite hit the mark for me. But then I listened to some songs again & they grew on me. I had instantly liked ICDIWABH for both beats and lyrics, much to my relief because I was panicking inside like 'oh no I'm a swiftie & I don't like anything on this album'. I grew to like Fortnight (tho I really wanted more Post Malone). So Long London was emotional & I like it too. Love Down Bad! Also really like loml & ttpd. So far the other songs didn't sound like ones I'd actually listen to. I think it's fine tho, it's very rare that we listen to all the songs in an album anyway. I'm still not entirely sure how I feel about the album as a whole but I don't completely hate it. This video made some good points but she sounded like she was mostly trying to pick on Taylor by quoting the most stupid lyrics on the most stupid songs. It's okay to do that but atleast give credit to the songs that's actually good too.

I feel like criticism of this album is more about surfing on the hype of her fame and people that don't like her using it to generate clicks. Is it too terrible that the she just wants to take things off her chest? Why is that only women are not allowed to convey life on lyrics while men do this all the time and gets no flack for it? For one, I obviously find her lyricism more important than the men the song is about and it is how she says it and not who she sings about. Reviews like this and the comments that generates feels like a bunch of mysoginists who were waiting to be hateful and pick me girls who thinks they are special and people who wants to monetize on someone who is a topic that will generate views which is ironic considering how many reviews uses capitalism to criticize her.

You people are in the dark. She’s very talented and that’s why she’s a billionaire. She’s been using a beard for as many years as she’s been playing guitar. Yet only 1% even realise that. She has more money than she could ever spend. What have you done with your life? Nothing? Thought so😏💰💰💰💰💰

Much as I appreciate the criticism, at least do a fact check Madamn! TS and her team never had any legal battle against Olivia Rodrigo. Jack Antonoff who is a co writer of the track in question clarified that on an interview. Plus Olivia confirmed via Rolling Stone interview that there is no bad blood between her and TS. Another thing, there are so much more on this album, sooooo mucchhh moorreee than just those lyrics you pointed out. If I may suggest, do not be a selective critique, judge the album as a whole not just nitpicking on few songs and just pick the lines that frustrates you.. Here are some of the lyrics to some of her other songs on TTPD : So Long London: I founded the club she’s heard great things about/ I left all I knew, you left me at the house by the Heath/ I stoppеd CPR, after all, it’s no use/ The spirit was gonе, we would never come to/ And I’m pissed off you let me give you all that youth for free. loml: You shit-talked me under the table/ Talking rings and talking cradles/ I wish I could unrecall/ How much we almost had it all How Did it End?: Come one come all, it’s happening again/ The empathetic hunger descends/ We’ll tell no-one except all of our friends/ We must know, how did it end? There you go! It may not be applicable to you but how about to us that relates to this lyrics and to her music? Should we stop just because you don’t like it? You may not like the album or TS herself and that is okay but atleast be fair. That is all we ask for.

Whatever it is, I am still going to be a Swiftie because she is one of the rarest musician we got this generation. I dont give a fuck about who or how she is personally. I am just here for for the art. TTPD was meh in the beginning but started becoming a grower immediately. The album insanely became a grower for so many people. Definitely, there is something unique about Taylor that even haters admit. This woman is in the biz for more than 18 years but still managed to be on the top of her game for a reason. After The Beatles, she is the only one whose entire discography is consumed by milions in entirety and her albums age like a fine wine, regardless of what topic she is covering. Which sadly, most of her other mainstream peers lack. Her strength is her creativity and geniuseness but nobody is ready for the conversation.

Or maybe you haven't lived any of your own life enough. Have you thought that maybe you can't relate because YOU just can't separate the person from the work. I'm literally going through what she was while writing this and I barely though of her exes or her life while crying to this album. It's like I said, you think because you can't relate, it's not for everyone. Think again, there are millions of us suffering these events and you're being more tone deaf than who you critizice a

Im sorry but this is such a bad take on the whole album. I can acknowledge that yes, ts is a billionaire and her sales of the variants is dubious but the actual content is not to be mindlessly consumed as you concluded. As an english literature student, the level of research and literary links that she has put intk this album has made it so rich. She encourages thought and consideration within her songwriting. Yet most of the songs still have a basic level of easily understood story. THERE ARE LEVELS!!!!! As for the idea that she is presenting herself almosg in a childlike way with "teenage petulance." Yes she is and that is interesting, she us not presenting herself as this perfect person but someone real and raw and honest which makes the album so impactful, especially compared to earlier albums where she is often the victim or the heroine. Here she is a human whilst also acknowledging the complexity of fame which is do intriguing. I did emjoy the video and i feel like there were some good elements of criticism but mainly about the sales ragher than the art itself. Any critiques if the art here felt purely as if they were attempting to just put down ts without giving her a chance. These sonfs aren't designed to be easily consimed, they are meant to be digested with thought. So give them that thought...

Only capitalism can create jobs; entrepreneurship, stimulate innovations and inventions. TS works hard and she deserves what she gets and if she is not good, she would be replaced. Capitalists can turn one hundred dollars into millions and provide jobs yet if you give the same amount of money in a socialist economy; people would just spent them until money runs out in the country.

It is such a brilliant album, you need to listen to it a few times, even top critics who bagged the album first off now are saying it is much better than they thought. And I don't give a crap about the lyrics, I do love them though, but not talking about the lyrics, the songs are so good. Anyways, sorry to hear so many people don't know it's beauty!!

English isn’t my first language and i understood the album more than you did 🤣 hate her as much as you want but at least be fair

the album needs multiple listens before you can judge… if you think you can judge this album in under a week your wrong. But I will say that not every album speaks to everyone… for example I didnt connect with Midnights at all… except maybe one song and I‘m a huge fan… but I don’t criticize because it just wasnt the album for me. This album however has many masterful songs in my eyes and speaks to me much more. But for those that dont, dont go hating on it just because you don’t understand it….

You belong with was epitomy of "i am not like other girls"

girl i swear you are so wrong on SO MANY levels. first of all her personal life has ALWAYS been an inspiration to her (think red, 2012), but now suddenly it's a wrong thing? in the second place, whilst i can see some songs on the anthology being similar to folklevermore (which isn't a bad thing, or suddenly an artist can't replicate a sound he has already done?), the first part of the album has a very distinctive sound that whilst being synth-pop is still a lot different from midnights. We can also discuss the lyricism: first of all you cited only the campiest songs, why didn't you talk about loml or peter or how did it end or so long london? maybe 'cause you're an hater. then, some lyrics CAN be camp it's not a bad thing!!! "we declared charlie puth excetera" is her being IRONIC! but maybe you don't know what that word means i'm sorry.

No one cares about any of your opinions. Her fans are worldwide and she is killing it at life!!! Spread that jelly-slather it all over- get that jealousy out of your system!

you're so wrong on many ways when you can just say you didn't like the album

So many BS! Taylor is an ARTIST she creats art we are the ones who want to put name to it. If you dont like just dont listen. Dont use her for clicks its even worse. By the way TTPD is amazing.❤❤
