Taylor Swift's old music offerings were bad, her new music offerings are dreadful

Did you just use the words "Taylor Swift" and "music" in the same sentence?
 
O foolish and unlearnt nation, how long will I have to abide the ignorance.

Taylor Swift ain't made for music.

It is all about long legs Blonde hair and beautiful pale skin to contrast those achingly beautiful red red lips.

Quite frankly, I don't even find her in the least bit attractive.

I like the way you think, Greg. :)

As for Taylor Swift, it's no secret that I like her, but for me, the jury is still out on the new album. At first I was cautiously optimistic about it, but now that it's finally out, I'm just like, meh. I do like the 80s vibe she was going for, and I know that with Taylor, her best songs tend to be the ones you don't hear on the radio as singles, but I don't want to drop $13 on an album that isn't streaming anywhere (legally) just to end up disappointed.

I only have one of her albums, Red, which was basically her transition album - it was half country, half pop, and I thought it was the perfect mix of styles. I wasn't so much into any of the more country albums she did before that, but at this point I think I'd be more likely to buy one of those albums than 1989. I don't know. Her country-style songs just sound more authentic to me somehow.

This particular song isn't necessarily bad. It's simple, catchy, and gets stuck in your head, which is exactly what pop music is supposed to do. It just doesn't sound special to me at all. It literally sounds like everything else out there.

I'm probably gonna get The Birthday Massacre's new album (Superstition) tomorrow instead. It's a crime that they're not more well known than they are. They're a Canadian band that does the 80s synth/rock style extremely well.

It's a really amazing album, lots of good songs. My favorite has to be Welcome to New York.

So, do you think it's better or worse than Red?

I liked the sample of "Style" that I heard and I'd like to hear the full song, but I can't find it anywhere. I also like the verse in "Out of the Woods." The chorus, not so much. The rest of what I've heard just sounds kinda generic to me, like any of today's pop artists could have performed it.

For $13, I dunno. I need a little more convincing, or perhaps a little more desensitization by repetition. Maybe I'll get lucky and it'll eventually go on sale for $5 on Amazon. That's what I paid for Lorde's Pure Heroine album. LOL.

I've honestly liked this album more than I have any of her others, my favorite song of hers isn't off this album that would be Change which was on Fearless, but overall this has been my favorite album of hers. You can get one on ebay for like $7.47.
 
Taylor Swift said her latest CD is all pop music. She's pretty much already left country music. While I'm not a fan of most of her music, she does seem like a really nice girl.
 
She's laughing all the way to the bank. Do they still do that these days? It's probably all direct deposit I guess.

She is a money making machine. Love her or hate her, she knows what she's doing.

On the money makin business side she reminds me of Shania Twain. But In my opinion the similarity stops there. Shania is a better entertainer, better singer and a helluva lot better lookin.

Shania said she felt like a woman. I tend to agree.

I'm in no position to turn either down. Not that I could ever be faced with such a problem.

I'll take her if you don't want her. Only thing is, I'm afraid she'll break up with me after three days and write a sh!tty sing about it.

Yep. Then she'll get with me, realize that I'm all she's ever wanted in life, and her music career will effectively end since she'll have no more breakups to sing about.

Everyone wins.

You'll have to fight me for her :p I'll win. I'll just change the land scape of her music, she'll start doing happy love type songs and write about ex's that didn't give her what I give her ;)

Ehh, for all that, you can have her. There are way too many girls in this world for me to waste time fighting somebody over one of them.

Besides, I think I've moved on to Carrie Underwood.

i personally think all the dates and breakups are little more than a creation, all Hollywood. I have always got a major lesbian vibe from Taylor. Every time you see her with a guy it feels so fake and produced. Most of her love songs are gender neutral. But she forms these intense friendships with many women.
