Definitely get the vibe that she’s been influenced by the likes of Lorde and Billie for this one. A few songs sound like they could’ve come straight from Pure Heroine to my ears with the minimal production, and the warbling electronics that pop up quite a bit sound like a lot of Billie’s stuff. 

Couple of listens in now and I think it’s great. It’s probably not gonna go down as one of her finer moments or a genius reinvention, but it’s a solid 8/10 I think. 

Karma was rumoured to be the single, right? ‘Cause it definitely sounds like it.

I agree it’s a strange booking. And I’ve never claimed to be 100% right about anything. i am simply passing on info that I have heard (from that same source that was right last year) that I believe to

If you’ve ever wondered why people get so wound up by you, this is the answer.  The OP was simply asking a genuine question: is this a good source.  Rather than simply say you feel it is, you deci

The art direction and artwork for this is so off base with the actual album, which as a fan is quite disappointing. She's never had a great eye for visuals or worldbuilding compared to a lot of artists but there's a really weird disconnect between what I was expecting (which the Stevie Nicks/rock rumours would have tracked with) and what's delivered here.

There's a few really good tunes but as a body of work it's far from a career best, and some of it runs a bit samey. Either way it's a good excuse for her to tour, so whatever.

Anti-Hero is the lead single.

Yeah seen a few reddit people say this and I think I agree. She laid out a particular vibe with all of the promo stuff that the album doesn’t really deliver on so I kind of get why some people are taken aback or disappointed by what they’re hearing.

I feel like a total wiener trying to defend this album and criticising the ‘vibes’ but I’ve fallen down the Swifty rabbit hole with this one.

I really like it tbh. I think Rep fans should feel seen.

I loved Rep but I found some of the lyrics and direction a bit cringe. So an album influenced by Rep with more mature lyrics is great.

Rep is a fine album but I think the jarring nature of the Ready for it, LWYMMD and End Game put a lot of people off and they never got past it. The tour was sensational and Taylor played most of it to delighted people in the stadia.

Agreed - they are 3 of the weaker tracks that I rarely listen to - lots of better stuff on that album.  Although they did sound fantastic live, particularly Ready for it which went off big time!
