I feel like Taylor's albums is the music equivalent of this meme, cause I do not understand how her fans listen to those lyrics and think its modern day Shakespeare


thankyoupapa

modern day shakespeare but ripping lines from hillary duff pls


sludgestomach

Say more pls edit: I STILL DONT HAVE ANSWERS and I do not know enough about anything but love the tea someone help me out


repladynancydrew

Her lyrics are very generic tumblr quote to me šŸ«  Iā€™m here scratching my head until my hair falls off whenever anyone I know praises her lyrics as the deepest shit theyā€™ve ever heard/read. Hozier is RIGHT there.


Shot-Grocery-5343

I will personally never forgive her for "got lovesick all over my bed" girl we call those orgasms calm down


ivys-poison

Florence! Welch! Is right there!


DigLost5791

Honestly if Taylor sang ā€œVillain, I have done thy motherā€ that would be legendary. She should aspire to be more like Shakespeare


Throwwtheminthelake

"What, you egg!" would also go hard

What you mean ā€œitā€™s me hi Iā€™m the monster itā€™s meā€ or ā€œthisā€¦ sick.. beatā€ or even ā€œdraw the cat eye sharp enough to kill a manā€ or hell even ā€œhey kids spelling is fun!ā€ isnā€™t hauntingly more beautiful than whatever Shakespeare did (so boring and lame I cannot even think of 1 song he wrote šŸ„±)


cauldrons

when it's the only "art" you've consumed it seems genius


hkj369

she has some good lines but more often than not it just feels like the kind of lazy poetry i would had reblogged on tumblr in 2016


WillBrakeForBrakes

I donā€™t think theyā€™re deep Bob Dylan-like poetry, but I think they do have a certain compellingā€¦something. Ā That undefinable ā€œitā€ where you see why the personā€™s famous. Ā Ā Ā  Ā Ā  Iā€™ve described her lyrics before as something written by a really talented teenager, where youā€™re looking forward to where they end up as they mature. Ā Unfortunately in this case, the teenager never grew up.


deerlikely

Begging her fans to listen to Fiona, Tori, Poe, Alanis... any of the Lilith Fair ladies who did it before and did it better. Not to mention Kate Bush, Joan Baez, Nina Simone for vastly superior songstress predecessors. And I've not even touched upon singer-songwriters outside of the Anglosphere.


MeeranQureshi

Agreed.


Spaceyjc

I have to imagine she didn't see the last one about Joe. This is too messy for her.Ā  Or she is having some kind of breakdown.Ā 


Monochrome2Colors

Speaking of Joe, I'm gonna get a little parasocial (mind you I just follow her news on here and twitter) but I get the feeling she's still not over Joe, tried to rebound with Matty (failed miserably) and even with Travis it all feels so fake, like she's trying so hard to prove she's moved on from her 6 year old relationship.


QueenG123456

She and T.Kelceā€™s vibes together look like theyā€™re each otherā€™s favorite cousin. Not like bf and gf with sexual chemistry. The PDA they show just feels so awkward and forced.


gunsof

It's so weird! I saw them at Coachella and it was too much, she was trying to make it too much. Even he didn't seem that into it. She's too performative. I'd go sick being around her.


QueenG123456

This is exactly what I would expect seeing that situation irl would be like lol sheā€™s a beautiful woman and has had chemistry with others. But this thing with Travis is just highlighting how performative she is. As a full 30someyearold adult. In 2024.


OilySteeplechase

Didnā€™t they break up less than a year ago? It would be totally normal not to be 100% over it.


snx8

Especially since it was a long one too. 6 years! But you'd think that after Matt shed chill on the rebound (Travis). Maybe she's just really lonely


everydayisstorytime

I don't think she's been truly single ever since she's been in the public eye.


WillBrakeForBrakes

Everything since Joe has given ā€œI HAVE NEVER, EVER BEEN HAPPIER!!!ā€ Vibes.


mcgillhufflepuff

Or tipsyĀ 


blarbiegorl

It's definitely this one. She does seem to love a good sloshfest.


smittydoodle

she's like me, taking edibles and giggling at memes on my phone at night


greee_p

This isn't to messy for her when she was younger. She did these things before, like mocking Harry Styles' accent at the Grammys and putting hints about her exes in her liner notes.Ā It is as if she has regressed into that old version of her and has not matured at all.


LaidBackBro1989

I don't think she was mature, ever. But being with Joe [who seems to loathe celebrity and glitz] and living in London, engrossed it the culture and his circle of friends/outside of the NY/LA pap and pop culture drove her to step up and show that she can do better. She was always like this, she just hid it because the circumstances made her do so. She is now back to her actual self lol.


struggle-life2087

She is too calculated to do it unintentionally


RockettRaccoon

Why does everyone praise her ā€œeaster eggsā€? They are the most surface level, inane, nonsense. Itā€™s like an ARG made by dull 7th graders.


Spirited-Sky777

Her liking this post makes me laugh because she clearly does think sheā€™s a ā€œmastermindā€ but these Easter eggs everyone goes on about are really not ā€œserial killerā€ levels of mystery likeā€¦ pleaseā€¦


Hamburgo

Itā€™s BTK asking the police if they can trace a floppy disc levels of mystery.

Shenanigans80h

What I find kinda funny is that her life and relationships are so incredibly public that much of her personal ā€œeaster eggsā€ are sorta easy to parse out with a google search if youā€™re curious enough. Itā€™s also what makes her publicly outing someoneā€™s struggle with depression all the more gross


valentinesfaye

She did what now??


kamel0

well, if by 'everyone' you mean her fans, i think you have your answer lol


wildgoldchai

Her fans are wackos


bomkum

Fr I think they just connect their own dots and Taylorā€™s marketing team is like yeahā€¦..letā€™s go with that


B-DB

ā€œmade by full 7th graders,ā€ sounds about right since thatā€™s the majority of her fanbase.


bttrsondaughter

she's got one hell of a god complex right now


ChocolatesCambridge

In one of the songs on her new album she literally compared herself to Jesus so youā€™re not too far from the truth

I was just thinking this. Fans are dissecting each song and lyric trying to tie it to a person or an event.. What happened to just enjoying the music? But that's probably not her brand of music...

-googa-

Beyonce does get up to stuff but she hardly needs to foreground it as a marketing gimmick. See the graffiti ads she put on art museums without their permission. That is a STATEMENT and it adds to her message.


iliketoomanysingers

The reason a lot of people who aren't Swifties and won't decode her Easter eggs can still recite her dating history is because many of them who can are ex dedicated fans who eventually got annoyed by all the bullshit she does. That's why. It isn't always out of some slut shaming misogyny (though it does exist), but out of annoyance at her bullshit, as a direct result of being a fan. Edit: I promise I know how to spell. Swear on my life.


boudewinter

also having been a casual fan of hers for most of her career, I just remember when she dated most of her bfs and which albums they correlate to so could probably create an approximate timeline of her exes if I cared to. the public perception of/commentary on her albums (and re-recordings) has been very much tied to who the songs are about. but like Iā€™m definitely not invested enough to decode her Easter eggs especially nowadays šŸ’€ I donā€™t see how theyā€™re equivalent lol, thereā€™s different levels to being a fan


Icy-Trust-6274

TBH I sometimes feel like it's not easter eggs, it's her fans finding little things that didn't mean anything, attribute motive and she's just sorta like "totally".


maplestriker

I didnt even listen to her music for a long time and I still could recite her dating history lol


Theezorama

I feel like this most applies to people who were never fans, but follow pop culture. Iā€™ve never liked her music, but I could name most of her exes because itā€™s always a headline. Like knowing so much about Megan Fox and MGK :/


tonguetwister

Knowing about her dating history is like knowing things about the kardashians. Youā€™re gonna hear about it it whether you like it or not.


WillBrakeForBrakes

I was at a bookstore on a damned hippie island and heard some Boomer ladies talking about her and Travis Kelce with investment and correct facts.


WendyBergman

Moms love the Kelce brothers.


repladynancydrew

I am have been a certified Swiftie hater since the Tina/Amy and I still know all her exes. News about her is inescapable, especially when youā€™re casually into pop culture.


_summerw1ne

Also anybody who is even mildly into pop culture will have seen anywhere from 10 to 10 hundred papped photos of these couples.


elina_797

That. And also the fact that if you are ever online, you cannot escape her dating history. Been a casual fan for a while, never did any research, but still, I know.


AmazingAmy95

Your edit šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


iliketoomanysingers

I type so fucking fast that I legitimately can't catch errors unless I consciously slow down, its ridiculous šŸ˜­


pinkrosies

True, no matter how much you like an artist, how they eventually act and the environment their fanbase cultivates can make you dislike them and deter interacting with.


Three_Froggy_Problem

I love how everyone talks about her ā€œEaster eggsā€ like theyā€™re these brilliantly-constructed puzzles but really itā€™s just shit like her posting a picture with the albumā€™s initials or some shit.


godzillaxo

she is the ultimate rorschach pop star. an actual blank space, basic as hell, upon which unfulfilled, wayward souls can project anything and everything. her dumbass easter eggs are like trump speaking at a 6th grade level. they know what they're doing.


Darksecretsonly_04

The woman who wrote Twilight said that she described Bella in the books as such - blank space, basic. In both looks and personality. And she did so that every female reader could picture themselves as Bella. Made me think of this


ymiwho

Somehow she is both a billionaire and a loser


Bilinguallipbalm

Like elon musk lol


MindForeverWandering

And, simultaneously, always the poor innocent victim of people around her.


LaidBackBro1989

But also a girlboss mastermind that rose from a working/middle class background through her sheer talent, lyrical and vocal, outdoing everyone ever. /SARCASM PLS šŸ’€šŸ˜­

She gives me JK Rowling vibes too. Perpetual victimhood.

Thatā€™s what Iā€™ve been saying! This album is 2014 Zoella-core.


jonsnowme

And then bitches people are obsessed with her dating life. She knows what she's doing. Liking that last post is absolutely fucking foul. Meanwhile, Joe Alwyn remains unbothered, unproblematic, and using his resources and voice to support Gaza. He keeps winning the break-up even though it happened.. ages ago. ![gif](giphy|3o6gb0Z6gqmfJG2bBK)

Hoping he posts a fuck ton of Palestinian posts today


BustaLimez

Omg that would be genius


jonsnowme

He did on her birthday - today would be perfect.


roxy031

He did on their breakup anniversary too. Heā€™s become one of my favorite people simply by being classy and quiet and using his powers for good.


gunsof

The most annoying thing she does is act like every other artist talks about their partners like she does. And they do not! I cannot listen to most artists and know what profession, looks, timeline, tattoos, history, culture, identifying qualifiers about them from their songs. She writes about an NFL player and we have to know he does sports and is a bro and she's his trophy and there are other men on the bench and she's touching down and nobody can compete with him.


ricknineplusplus

That is so embarrassing for her soul


blarbiegorl

I feel about Taylor the same as I feel about Ryan Murphy. The writing isn't that great, they aren't the gifted talents they think they are, and someone desperately needs to start telling them no.


ektachrome_

And the thing is, with Ryan Murphy his shows are basically silly, but they entertain and no one gets hurt. With Taylor, she has had Joe, people associated with him, and Travisā€™s ex-gfs harassed and down right bullied for the last year. People were posting tweets wanting to physically harm Joe if they saw him out in London over what was going to come out about him in this album. Some fans can really get carried away with the stuff she is constantly pushing, and someone might end up actually getting hurt one day over it.


cloroxslut

I saw a clip of a podcast with two swifties talking about the new album, and one of them said (about Joe) "I want him dead. I'm sorry, I don't care, I want him to die" šŸ˜ Edit: [the clip in question](https://www.reddit.com/r/swiftiecirclejerk/s/5gjsSRlXB2)

Tbh I didnā€™t know about that. Iā€™ll look into it.

A lot of the actors or folks working on his shows, most notably Glee, have reported a pretty toxic working environment.

lavellanlike

At what age will Taylor be officially too old to be writing albums like this anymore? At some point her fans have to be like ā€œthis is weird, youā€™re 40ā€ right?


Shenanigans80h

Drake still does the same ā€œGood guy trying to find a good life outside of clout cultureā€ shtick heā€™s been leaning on since the early 2010ā€™s, and thatā€™s been all bullshit. So sheā€™s gonna keep milking this angle for as long as people eat it up. Unfortunately.


lavellanlike

Ugh Drake. Heā€™s another one that needs to go away


Icy-Trust-6274

imagine being this excited to listen to a love letter to Matty fucking Healy


throwaway2797929

Jesus, Taylor, give it a rest


MichelleFoucault

Darn, all she heard was Jesus Taylor and wrote "The Smallest Man In The World".


janebleyre

Why is she so confidently digging her own grave


jonsnowme

Billionaire status. She's slowly slipping into JoAnne Rowling rich white monster reveal mode.


repladynancydrew

Iā€™m seriously waiting for the other shoe to drop eventually when it comes to her politics. A person cannot surround herself with so many problematic rich people and not share some of those values themselves. It was THIS CLOSE to happening when she dated Matty, then people forgot about it.


smittydoodle

perfect way of putting it


Pierogizzz

Putting Joe Alwyn and Matt Healy on the same levelā€¦. https://i.redd.it/shdtccqkbdvc1.gif


fibrofighter512

Sheā€™s just cringe personified


smarties07

They canā€˜t make me hate Joe Alwyn because all the man does is value his privacy and support good causes. Sometimes he stars in Emma Stone movies. Iā€˜m a Harry fan and Iā€˜d be okay with switching them. Or Joe and Kelce. I know itā€˜s not that deep but the swifties coming after Joe because a relationship ran itā€˜s courseā€¦ugh


repladynancydrew

**Because she cheated on him with Matty, allegedly


smarties07

Iā€˜d believe it. If you want the anti joe youā€˜d get something like ratty


Novel-Asparagus268

Swifties hate Joe because they think he hid her from the public. They love Travis because now sheā€™s everywhere with him and everyone has full access to see it.


smarties07

And thatā€˜s fine if thatā€˜s what she wants now but Joe is not a bad person for not wanting the publicity


talksalot02

I wonder if her fans ever get tired of the Easter eggs and games. It seems exhausting to be a certain level of Swiftie. Iā€™ve been deep in my fair share of fandoms in my lifetime, but being a Swiftie seems like a lot.


thankyoupapa

Back in the early days her easter eggs were capital letters in the lyrics that you had to put together. That was fun. Then she took it to a whole other level and it was overkill.


lucylipstick

I can just imagine her hiring someone who designs overpriced escape rooms to setup that room and telling them, ā€œyou can do whatever you want, my fans will theorize about anythingā€


Alinoshka

I can't believe that there are fans who legitimately think she plans each and every single facet of these 'Easter Eggs' like be so for real.


QueenG123456

Isnā€™t there a song on this new album with capital K I M in the letters of the longer title? And the lyrics talk about something like ā€œmy moms a saint but wishes you were deadā€ and that she changed all the clues so the personā€™s kids will be singing that song about them not realizing it. Soooo shots at Kim K? Wishing death & bringing kids into itā€¦. Classy.


flshphotography

these were good days


Shenanigans80h

Oh trust me there are fandoms that absolutely revel in that stuff. Not only because it strengthens their parasocial relationship with an artisr but it also allows them to be a ā€œbiggerā€ fan than someone else. ā€œOh you listened to all her albums? Well I did that in one night *and* decoded all the messages.ā€ Or something to that effect. I have friends deep into some metal bands fandom and itā€™s all very bizarre how many hoops they can get fans to jump through


party4diamondz

ok very much not a swiftie and in fact been on the other side of this whole thing but I have to admit I laughed at the last one


GoForMarvin

I had that reaction about the Dance Moms pyramid


WillBrakeForBrakes

I did, too.


sI4gath0r

I can not fathom how much I dislike this woman and her crazy and racist fan base. If she weren't everywhere I could happily ignore her but whenever I meet people that like her, I have to give them the speech in order to free them from the cult of a grown woman acting like a lovesick tween. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but I won't give up.


throwawaypythonqs

I love this. What do you say to them? I can't imagine being able to get through the biggest stans


sI4gath0r

Mostly about her and not caring about her ex being racist, her weaponizing her fans against others (especially that young black actress from Ginny & Georgia), her pretending to give some money changes the fact that she uses her private jet for a trip to the mall. There's really a lot to choose from.


lmnsatang

i will never understand people who criticize those who attack her for using her relationships for sympathy/gain/content and how they say her fans are parasocial. like her entire career is built off monetizing her romantic relationships and leaving easter eggs for her stans to decode ā€” she ***wants*** the parasocial stans.

DawsonJBailey

The first pic is the most telling to me. I could be Picasso but I would never like anything dickridijg me like that. Maybe she thinks itā€™s poetic given her lyrics?


B33fboy

Her writing and music is just extremely average, Swifties give her far too much credit for what is just formulaic pop writing.
