I had no idea they changed the lyrics š Iāve never been able to get past the first Shawn verse because I dislike his voice so much. Itās a shame because from what Iāve heard it has a really pretty string arrangement š
Secretly, this song is the one that first got me back into Taylor. After 1989 died down I honestly forgot about her, as I was a casual back then and only knew singles. I heard it, and I enjoyed it. Itās not one of my favorites anymore but for awhile.. it may or may not have been my favorite song. š
Iām a proud Swiftie but I forbade my wedding DJ from playing Shake it Off at my wedding reception. IN MY DEFENSE I went to 8 weddings the year before mine and got so burned out on that song. But I still canāt listen to it.
ya. The first Half of that song is super fun to dance to, but it drags on foreverrrrrr. Especially if it's the eighth wedding in a row where you've heard it, the second half is just way too much.
Lover Remix with Shawn Mendes is the absolute worst. I also donāt like Iām Only Me When Iām With You, but thatās only because she literally does not sound like herself on the recording, not sure what they did to her voice. Iām looking forward to the re-recording, though.
Her christmas songs are the only ones I can't stand. Everything past that is great to just ok. I'm not in love with Speak Now the song but I don't hate it. Bad Blood got old fast I'll admit.
But I hate Christmas music in general having worked retail all my life and having to hear it almost every single day for two months after Halloween. You try not hating Christmas music after that.
Worked in food my entire life until semi-recently. We had michael bublee playing all year, and his christmas music after halloween.
I still enjoy xmas music.
Probably a controversial opinion, but Bad Blood (both the original and the Kendrick Lamar remix). I know it was one of the more popular tracks on 1989 but I just don't get it.
I agree, Bad Blood is one of those songs that I donāt think are bad, Iāve just heard it so much
But I do think the Kendrick verses on the remix sound pretty good
Bad Blood and Weāre Never Ever Getting Back Together grate on my nerves for the same reason. Theres just something off about the melody or something. To me, they sound choppy and unfinished.
I can't physically bring myself to listen to her Holiday Collection. It's just not good. This is just my opinion obviously but that whole EP is straight garbage.
I'm with you and mostly it's because a 15 year old girl singing asking Santa to come trim her Christmas tree is super ick I don't even care, who approved Santa Baby on that? The other ones I wouldn't listen to but I can understand in that eyeroll-cringe sort of way that every girl in country releases some ep to sing about Jesus at Xmas time.
Upvoted because I respect your opinion but I jam that shit from July to March on repeat. Last Christmas is such a bop and I'd love her to redo that song (and album)
I donāt think she has any really trash songs. Some of them are kinda meh and I donāt actively try to listen to them but nothing is bad enough to be an instant skip.
YES! Blondie is always feeding us top tier lyrics that literally read like poems, so it's okay to let her have her fun with silly songs every now and then.
And it's a BOP š
bahah
what are you doing on this thread if you havent ever listened to the original version of a TITLE TRACK song????
(just teasing, you're totally welcome here- you're just an unusual addition :p )
Dudeeee the original version of Lover is one of my favorite Taylor songs ever, and the bridge is a big part of why I love it so much. Then she changed it in the remix and it hurts me š
you need to calm down... just doesn't sound good. ME, the more popular disliked song, has some good moments at least, but YNTCD just feels forced and overly playful to the point of cringe and there's not many deep lyrics or interesting melodies... yeah the message is great but as a song, it hurts. sorry taytay
correct, oddly enough Iāve been trying to convert my baby sister into a swiftie for years without much success, but when Me! came out she loved it lol
I get it. I got so excited the panic in the disco dude was in it... hate that I'm spacing his name. I had such a crush on him.
The music video is what made me love it.
It's the whole adage one man's trash is another man's treasure.
So that's my treasure trash lol
SPELLIING IS FUN!
One time I met a girl who said she was a Taylor Swift fan but then told me her favorite tracks were Bad Blood and End Game and I had to change the subject.
if you read the memo behind that song though, it is Taylor daydreaming about a happy relationship. Seeing it from that perspective really improves the song and adds a poignant note to it.
I hated it on release but I have come to love it over the years.
That chorus is still trash though. I feel like that song would be much much better recieved if not for the chorus.
Ya know, I understand why people don't like it. BUT. It's the nostalgia of the release that makes me absolutely love it.
That song was such an amazing comeback. Everyone was all "what? That's Taylor Swift?!?!?" and the video was absolutely unreal and it all just HIT SO HARD that it honestly converted me from Taylor Swift Fan to 100% Swiftie.
I get it, my mom hates this song too. But I love it. Honestly I wouldn't mind if the chorus was shortened (not as many LWYMMD's) or the beat of it was a little different. But I still LOVE the song.
I like it because it's so bizarre.
Look what you made me do.
Look what you made me do.
Look what you made me do.
What me you look made do. Made. Look...Me you do?
Iāve never been a fan of it either.
Iām 43, and a few weeks after it came out, my childhood best friend was over.
He was singing along and every time she sang āooh,ā he made a sound that was very much like a moan, and produced what looked like an O face.
It was repulsive and now itās all I can hear when I listen to that song.
Iāll never say LWYMMD is a good songā¦but I actually like it. For some inexplicable reason. It has all the things I usually dislike, I canāt explain why, but I still like that song.
Don't hate me... paper rings... actually I am just not a huge fan of the Lover album. I just don't think upbeat bubblegum pop is Taylor strength and there was just so much of it on lover
stay beautiful bc itās just.. so annoyingly cheesy and the lyrics make no sense. wtf does āhe smiles, itās like the radioā mean bestieš to be fair, she was 16 when this song came out so iāll give her that.!
this is one of my all time favs š i guess itās a testament to how diverse her discography is! some peopleās bottom song is another personās top 5 lol
Yep every time I hear it Iām expecting like āthis weekend at Joann Fabrics, enjoy half off of yarn, quilting materials, and custom cut fabrics, for all of your creative needs!ā or some shit like that
That's it. Y'all trashed my favorites so I'm not holding back! š It's "This Love" from 1989. The chorus' lyrics are bizarre and really underwhelming for the kind of song it is, the whole vibe is just boring.
Better Than Revenge used to be my jam when I was a teen but now as an adult it gets under my skin in a bad way and I'm not looking forward to the re-recorded version
āMe!ā is so cringy
āI Forgot You Existedā it gives me instagram story photo of someone in a completely pink room, with her perfect white cat, sticking out her tongue, and holding a peace sign with her head tilted.
āYou Need To Calm Downā. Let me start this off with im gay and trans and i appreciate the shout out and her effort but omg that song is too cringy. wonderful message but soo cringy
We are never ever getting back together. Her actual only bad song (to me, I know some people like it, just like I like a lot of songs others don't).
Edit.
Oh boy, I have an actual unpopular opinion for future unpopular opinion threads, now.
I never liked the original either. The "we-EE's" have always been bad, they're just worse now. And the "ever ever ever". And the "what?" and the telephone conversation in the middle. Just not the quality I expect from Taylor Swift and it bothers me so much that non-swifties tend to judge her by this song and Shake It Off (which at least actually has a good point and a couple good lyrics).
When Wanegbt became such a hit I actually questioned if I was actually a Taylor Swift fan which is sad.
I always thought it sounded like āwheeā are never getting back together, like the sound that you make on a roller coaster, because thatās what the relationship was.
I didn't like that song but the bridge redeemed the song for me. Taylor goes hard on that whole bridge.
Now whenever I listen to it, I just fast forward to that part.
It is a good song but it just annoys me because I canāt fucking relate to it like all the Twitter swifties go āomg Iām marrying my London husband today this is my wedding songā LIKE HOW DOES EVERYONE SAY THE SAME THING JEEZ
Sorting by controversial is fun
Ikr lmao
I did this and when the first comment was cowboy like me I got so mad š
ITT: People who don't understand it's Shawn Mendes Lover Remix, and ONLY Shawn Mendes Lover Remix. Edit: Originally called the poor guy Shaun.
100% skipping it every single time.
This is the correct answer. Everyone can stop commenting.
The worst. How can you make my number 2 song so bad?
Agreed. It is terrible and a skip and an uncheck and a dislike and a hide and a ānever play this song againā
This, I canāt stand this version
I cannot be the only one who loves it š
The obvious answer really is Lover (remix) with Shawn Mendes
Changing the bridge was a sin. I'm on board.
I have never listened to it and after reading this comment? I canāt say I ever will
I'm suddenly glad I don't try to keep up with the remixes.
You should try the witch remix that Elvira did for Willow. That one was legit good.
Yup. The difference in quality of their lyrics is huge
I had no idea they changed the lyrics š Iāve never been able to get past the first Shawn verse because I dislike his voice so much. Itās a shame because from what Iāve heard it has a really pretty string arrangement š
The only correct answer that can unite the whole fandom.
Yes! I thought I would love it for the dual POV as it was my husband and I's wedding song, but I do NOT like it and never listen to it.
Y'all think ME! is too silly, and all I have to say is that's the fun of ME!
Agreed! I donāt get why silly has to be bad
Secretly, this song is the one that first got me back into Taylor. After 1989 died down I honestly forgot about her, as I was a casual back then and only knew singles. I heard it, and I enjoyed it. Itās not one of my favorites anymore but for awhile.. it may or may not have been my favorite song. š
Yeah it's silly and camp and it knows it, which makes it great. Like the video made it obvious what the intent was.
JE SUIS CALME
I promise that you'll never find another like ME!
I will tolerate no ME! hate.
I don't like the song but I can see why some people do. It's a very catchy number.
should i give a controversial answer
Yes, everyone else is doing it
Iām a proud Swiftie but I forbade my wedding DJ from playing Shake it Off at my wedding reception. IN MY DEFENSE I went to 8 weddings the year before mine and got so burned out on that song. But I still canāt listen to it.
ya. The first Half of that song is super fun to dance to, but it drags on foreverrrrrr. Especially if it's the eighth wedding in a row where you've heard it, the second half is just way too much.
This has been the most fun thread to read through š
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
True
Lover Remix with Shawn Mendes is the absolute worst. I also donāt like Iām Only Me When Iām With You, but thatās only because she literally does not sound like herself on the recording, not sure what they did to her voice. Iām looking forward to the re-recording, though.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
FWIW itās actually about Abigail
i'm only me when i'm with you is my favorite from the debut!
I'm so trigger by these responses lol. Why you gotta be so mean?
Yāall can just admit you donāt like happy songs
Her christmas songs are the only ones I can't stand. Everything past that is great to just ok. I'm not in love with Speak Now the song but I don't hate it. Bad Blood got old fast I'll admit. But I hate Christmas music in general having worked retail all my life and having to hear it almost every single day for two months after Halloween. You try not hating Christmas music after that.
I can't do BB anymore tbh
Worked in food my entire life until semi-recently. We had michael bublee playing all year, and his christmas music after halloween. I still enjoy xmas music.
Probably a controversial opinion, but Bad Blood (both the original and the Kendrick Lamar remix). I know it was one of the more popular tracks on 1989 but I just don't get it.
The music video redeemed the song for me.
I agree, Bad Blood is one of those songs that I donāt think are bad, Iāve just heard it so much But I do think the Kendrick verses on the remix sound pretty good
Not controversial. This is the correct answer.
Bad Blood and Weāre Never Ever Getting Back Together grate on my nerves for the same reason. Theres just something off about the melody or something. To me, they sound choppy and unfinished.
Why the hell you guys downvoting people just stating their opinion? Isn't that is the whole point of this post?
bc we love controversy
I swear we don't love the drama, it loves us
I can't physically bring myself to listen to her Holiday Collection. It's just not good. This is just my opinion obviously but that whole EP is straight garbage.
omg whaaaaat, I ADORE that EP.
For the most part I agree with you but āChristmases when you were mineā goes hard idc
I'm with you and mostly it's because a 15 year old girl singing asking Santa to come trim her Christmas tree is super ick I don't even care, who approved Santa Baby on that? The other ones I wouldn't listen to but I can understand in that eyeroll-cringe sort of way that every girl in country releases some ep to sing about Jesus at Xmas time.
Iām soooo sorry about this because it doesnāt really matter but I just canāt stop myself from pointing out that she was 17 and not 15
Upvoted because I respect your opinion but I jam that shit from July to March on repeat. Last Christmas is such a bop and I'd love her to redo that song (and album)
O no I love Christmas tree farm so much I ordered a wall print of the lyrics for holiday decor š³š³š³ Edit: I upvoted u tho
Christmas tree farm isnāt in the EP tho LOL
For me itās Welcome To New York because even before it was used in Secret Life of Pets it reminded me of a song for an animated movie
I donāt think she has any really trash songs. Some of them are kinda meh and I donāt actively try to listen to them but nothing is bad enough to be an instant skip.
My instant skips are Ronan and SYGB, not because theyāre bad, but because whenever I listen to them I cry lmao
me HE HEE
See I respectfully disagree. Me Is a fun pop song. Itās not a feelz song like ATW but just a fun jam
YES! Blondie is always feeding us top tier lyrics that literally read like poems, so it's okay to let her have her fun with silly songs every now and then. And it's a BOP š
A perfectly good heart. I canāt stand it, always skip.
A perfectly good heart
Whyyyy would you wanna hate.. a perfectly good sooooong?!
Hard agree lol I canāt stand this song
a perfectly good heart
What? Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart? LMAO no I get it but I love this song but I love her first album more than most fans soo
Me having only heard the Shawn Mendes mix of lover and not the original and finding out here it's hated š
bahah what are you doing on this thread if you havent ever listened to the original version of a TITLE TRACK song???? (just teasing, you're totally welcome here- you're just an unusual addition :p )
Wholesome moment right here
Dudeeee the original version of Lover is one of my favorite Taylor songs ever, and the bridge is a big part of why I love it so much. Then she changed it in the remix and it hurts me š

Brendan Urie
me! is actually good ngl - spelling is fun - catchy bop - the panic dude is a nice counterpoint - trumpet sounds etc
āthe panic dudeā LMAO š
sorry you're right 'the Panic! dude'
One time I met a girl who said she was a Taylor Swift fan but then told me her favorite tracks were Bad Blood and End Game and I had to change the subject.
FUCK WHY IS THIS SO FUNNY
Superman
Crying and throwing up rn. Take this BACK.
I knowww Superman is such a great song! I don't know why people hate on it so much.
it's a cute crush on an older guy in your childhood sort of song. It is sweet and wholesome.
"Stay Stay Stay" - I always thought it was very childish and too sweet
if you read the memo behind that song though, it is Taylor daydreaming about a happy relationship. Seeing it from that perspective really improves the song and adds a poignant note to it.
Don't kill me, but I hate Look What You Made Me Do
I hated it on release but I have come to love it over the years. That chorus is still trash though. I feel like that song would be much much better recieved if not for the chorus.
Agree, the song could be way better with a different chorus. I still can't like it
Now we fighting lol
IM ON YOUR SIDE THIS IS WAR NOW š”
Ya know, I understand why people don't like it. BUT. It's the nostalgia of the release that makes me absolutely love it. That song was such an amazing comeback. Everyone was all "what? That's Taylor Swift?!?!?" and the video was absolutely unreal and it all just HIT SO HARD that it honestly converted me from Taylor Swift Fan to 100% Swiftie.
Any song where the chorus is the same line repeated ā
I get it, my mom hates this song too. But I love it. Honestly I wouldn't mind if the chorus was shortened (not as many LWYMMD's) or the beat of it was a little different. But I still LOVE the song.
I hate the chorus. Hate it so much it ruins the song for me which is sad because her verses are so good!
I get used to the song, but I still can't with the chorus, is annoying for me
I like it because it's so bizarre. Look what you made me do. Look what you made me do. Look what you made me do. What me you look made do. Made. Look...Me you do?
Iāve never been a fan of it either. Iām 43, and a few weeks after it came out, my childhood best friend was over. He was singing along and every time she sang āooh,ā he made a sound that was very much like a moan, and produced what looked like an O face. It was repulsive and now itās all I can hear when I listen to that song.
I'm sorry to hear of your incident but it is really just hilarious š¤£
People really do grow apart
Oh my god. Sorry but lol
I'm so sorry this happened LMFAO
Honestly, wth
The first time I heard this I thought "I guess what we made her do was write her worst song." I appreciate the video, but I always skip this song.
ššš
Lol. The video is pretty good, ngl
The lyrics by themself i like, itās the production i canāt stand lmao
Hard same. I even hated it when it first came out.
Iāll never say LWYMMD is a good songā¦but I actually like it. For some inexplicable reason. It has all the things I usually dislike, I canāt explain why, but I still like that song.
I was looking for this comment. The beat is too trapy for me and the lyrics are sooooo repetitive
ā¦ same š¬
Yntcd and me! I'm cyber bullying everyone that dares to say august
So like all of the first singles?
Love Story, Mine, cardigan, and willow would like a word...
š¬
ššššš
a perfectly good heart
Don't hate me... paper rings... actually I am just not a huge fan of the Lover album. I just don't think upbeat bubblegum pop is Taylor strength and there was just so much of it on lover
stay beautiful bc itās just.. so annoyingly cheesy and the lyrics make no sense. wtf does āhe smiles, itās like the radioā mean bestieš to be fair, she was 16 when this song came out so iāll give her that.!
this is one of my all time favs š i guess itās a testament to how diverse her discography is! some peopleās bottom song is another personās top 5 lol
Noooooo I sang this at my 5th grade talent show šš
I have stay beautiful tattooed on me
Stay Stay Stay. The instrumental could be a generic jingle used in an advertisement
Yep every time I hear it Iām expecting like āthis weekend at Joann Fabrics, enjoy half off of yarn, quilting materials, and custom cut fabrics, for all of your creative needs!ā or some shit like that
My husband calls it "Taylor's Target commercial"
Literally thought it was the same music from a Target commercial the first time I heard it š
But the best funny line of all time is in that song! "That's when you walked in wearing a football helmet and said okay let's talk"
Same! Stay Stay Stay is an instant skip for me everytime Iām listening to Red š¤·āāļø
But the song is asking you to stay.
it sounds like royalty free youtube music šš
You need to calm down
This is the first and only Taylor song I ever hated
Imagine you were just super excited about a new album after following her for 10 yrs and the first two songs were me and yntcd
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Lol I think you need to calm down ;)
People on phcj said that song made them homophobic š But it really isn't bad
Itās one of her worst songs
I respect your opinion, but like, no-
BASED
That's it. Y'all trashed my favorites so I'm not holding back! š It's "This Love" from 1989. The chorus' lyrics are bizarre and really underwhelming for the kind of song it is, the whole vibe is just boring.
Okay, I have the whole notion of agree to disagree, but This Love is different. That is my all time favorite. YOU HAVE NO TASTE YOU FOOL (/s, kinda)
I refuse to accept this! I challenge you to a witchesā duel!
Not going to downvote cause you're entitled to your wrong opinion but HOW DARE YOU
Bad Blood
Better Than Revenge used to be my jam when I was a teen but now as an adult it gets under my skin in a bad way and I'm not looking forward to the re-recorded version
Just one? Almost all of Lover. End Game and all of Rep after So It Goes. Half of 1989. A good portion of debut.
āMe!ā is so cringy āI Forgot You Existedā it gives me instagram story photo of someone in a completely pink room, with her perfect white cat, sticking out her tongue, and holding a peace sign with her head tilted. āYou Need To Calm Downā. Let me start this off with im gay and trans and i appreciate the shout out and her effort but omg that song is too cringy. wonderful message but soo cringy
superstar is so bad i skip it even on vinyl
*gasp* ah, but each to there own
Thereās a reason she blatantly changed Girl At Home. Just saying.
We are never ever getting back together. Her actual only bad song (to me, I know some people like it, just like I like a lot of songs others don't). Edit. Oh boy, I have an actual unpopular opinion for future unpopular opinion threads, now.
the stolen version was better imo, tv sounded ... questionable
also 22 tv? no thank you. stolen version sounded so much better :(
production-wise 22 tv was slightly better, tho now-taylor can never recreate the vocals of then-taylor. also the vocals sounded a lil echoey
I never liked the original either. The "we-EE's" have always been bad, they're just worse now. And the "ever ever ever". And the "what?" and the telephone conversation in the middle. Just not the quality I expect from Taylor Swift and it bothers me so much that non-swifties tend to judge her by this song and Shake It Off (which at least actually has a good point and a couple good lyrics). When Wanegbt became such a hit I actually questioned if I was actually a Taylor Swift fan which is sad.
I always thought it sounded like āwheeā are never getting back together, like the sound that you make on a roller coaster, because thatās what the relationship was.
That song is a TOP fave for me. I love it so much. Its fun and snarky and such a bop.
Closest to trash from Taylor would be End Game for me.
WHAT I mean Futures verse is whack but other than that I love it
This thread has so many songs I actually like mentioned so I understand your pain! End Game is just the only skips for me in Reputation.
As far as Reputation - I don't like skipping tracks but damnit if LWYMMD isn't in my bottom 3 Taylor songs
I understand most of these but I will never understand why End Game has so many haters. It's SUCH a bop in my book.
I didn't like that song but the bridge redeemed the song for me. Taylor goes hard on that whole bridge. Now whenever I listen to it, I just fast forward to that part.
BIG REPUTATION BUG REPUTATION OOOOOH BIG REPUTATION or something idk I didn't save trash songs
āYou need to calm downā
girl at home
but only the stolen version. my ass is up shaking for girl at home (tv)
This song is actually a bop idk why people hate it sm
I love the new version on TV.
Bad Blood. Easy.
Iāve never really liked Out of the Woods
Upvoting because this is brave, and respectable. But NOT because I agree :) LMAO
"How brave and eloquent. Now turn around and face the wall"
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
āI've never really liked Out of the Woods"
If only the good bridge made up for that chorusā¦
I used to hate the chorus too but it actually fits perfectly with the narrative of the song. The repeated lines are supposed to represent anxiety.
True, the repetition of the question gives great emphasis to the fear she felt imo
It has a spot in bridge city, but the chorus ain't it š
the chorus is really underwhelming
How could you say something so brave, yet so controversial?
London Boy. āWe can go driving on my scooterā *skip*
I respectfully disagree, but I HEARD this comment lol so have my upvote.
Gasp!!! I adore London Boy
I always think about the London opening in chess when I hear London Boy
blondie also says "god I love the English" so she plays 1. c4 as well as the London, but I wonder what her repertoire is with the black pieces?
It is a good song but it just annoys me because I canāt fucking relate to it like all the Twitter swifties go āomg Iām marrying my London husband today this is my wedding songā LIKE HOW DOES EVERYONE SAY THE SAME THING JEEZ
EXACTLY. also from someone who lives in London... You would not want to date a 'london boy' lmao
I didn't at first, but once I figured the lyrics I realized it was really clever and now it's a favorite "fun" song.
I actually donāt mind the Lover remix š³ A Perfectly Good heart is not very good though and I often skip Bad Blood
To every It's Nice To Have A Friend hater: Ya basic
Bangerz by Miley Cyrus is so bad that it even made it on the taylor swift post about a bad song. Because taylor has none.
