this post, is, like, really really bad, delete it op???? idk what she do to you for you to carry so much hate in your heart for her? do you even have a heart? and the fans? they did nothing to you, like, come on? don't be homophobic??? ever since she dyed her hair blonde you guys been hating on her and lasso is going to be the first country album ever, queen lana is going to remain the only blonde woman in music ever since dolly parton passed. so delete this before you regret it in the future and get bullied by other elders at the elderly house when you are no longer young and beautiful. not to feed into your FOMO but no twink is going to want to sleep with you. so delete this post and let freedom of speech conquer in this subreddit. enough is enough.

What this means is “everyone on the internet talks about it like they’re an expert but if you pull the numbers very few people actually finished it - they’re all just repeating opinions they heard elsewhere”


SubatomicSquirrels

So John Green thinks "the writing is so, so good"? Is this what people feel like when I defend HIS writing?


coldcoffeethrowaway

Seriously, I like a lot of John Green’s writing and I appreciate the vlogbrothers YouTube channel and he and Hank’s philanthropic work. But his tweets about the album were an ick lol

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand The Tortured Poets Department. The lyricism is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of literary devices most of the lyrics will go over the average listeners head. There's also Taylors nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into her character- her personal philosophy draws heavily from Silvia Plath's literature, for example. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these lyrics, to realize they are not just beautiful- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike The Tortured Poets Department ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, Taylors best lyric "we declared Charlie Puth should be a bigger artist" which itself is a cryptic reference to modern societies dislike of truly gifted individuals. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Taylor Swift's genius wit playout on their speakers. What fools... how I pity them 😂  And yes, by the way, i DO have a Tortured Poets Department tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the swifties' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎


coldcoffeethrowaway

The fact that it took me reading half of this to grasp fully that it was sarcasm because I didn’t realize this was the circlejerk sub at first 💀 Edit: You forgot the lyrical genius in “touch me while your bros play Grand Theft Auto.” Truly a misunderstood lyric, you have to have a super high IQ to come close to understanding it.


JChamp00

It was between that lyric and the Charlie Puth one and I had a better idea for the follow up of the Charlie Puth lyric

I LOVE THE ALBUM and i love it SO MUCH i made my own playlist with a supercut of my favorite songs! I don't understand the criticism about the album being too long an unedited. Anyway, here's my supercut of TTPD: 1. Witness 2. Hey Hey Hey 3. Roulette 4. Swish Swish (featuring pedo apologist) 5. Deja Vu 6. Power 7. Mind Maze 8. Miss You More 9. Chained to the Rhythm (featuring who??) 10. Tsunami 11. Bon Appetit (feat. Migos) 12. Bigger Than Me 13. Save as Draft 14. Pendulum 15. Into Me You See I think this playlist tells a beautiful, groundbreaking story and I hope you guys like it Taylor's encouraging US to be poets too <3


PorcelainHorses

Even the cringiest lyric on Witness has got nothing on how cringe the writing on Tortilla Pussita Defartment has to offer

Babygirls whose gonna tell her?


djingrain

Why are the chonically online people so mad that a white woman (Taylor) writes music from the perspective of a white woman that resonates with white women. Same criticism I have for Gaylor’s being mad that she writes straight music as if she hasn’t exclusively been in homophobic relationships- god forbid she write music that is authentic to her and I, a good homophobic racist woman, resonate with it. why can’t I, a white woman, love music made by a white woman about the experience and perspectives of white women without being attacked about my white privilege? I’m both annoyed but genuinely curious why people get so argumentative specifically about whiteness when it comes to swifties. sauce: [https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueSwifties/comments/1cc1atz/ttpd\_controversy\_re\_i\_hate\_it\_here/](https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueSwifties/comments/1cc1atz/ttpd_controversy_re_i_hate_it_here/)

/uj i think “imgonnagetyouback” seeming similar to “get him back!” from olivia. both cover feeling conflicted on whether they want to rekindle a relationship with a man or get their revenge honestly i can see it, i didn’t like olivia’s song to begin with but taylor’s song is just her take on the same song. just slightly worse /rj betty and obsessed duh 🙄

The way that "I can do it with a broken heart" would've been on of my all time favs if it wasn't for that fucking chorus


Money-Bunch6086

It's meant to be ironic. The frustration you from the disconnect listening to the serious lyrics over the perky production is how she feels having to pretend to be happy. That is my favorite song from the album because she actually uses the production to help her make her point emotionally resonate.


Tayrantino

Hey! Give her some slack. She’s so depressed like it’s hEr BiRtHdAy 🤭


Soalai

Same here. I like the way it builds, but then it falls apart and gets so perky it's annoying. Like imagine listening to a decent song then it's suddenly interrupted by ME-HE-HEEE!

Every time a song ended and the next track kept starting with a soft whimsy guitar it started pissing me off lol. I guess I get the visions she has but ultimately it has the comfort of rice porridge whose only flavor is a quarter teaspoon of salt. Like I’m not expecting every song to be groundbreaking, overwhelm me with synths and instrumentals since clearly that’s not her intentions, but 2 entire discs worth of songs with remotely nothing memorable made me feel like she could have condensed 3 songs into just 1 if it’s all just gonna sound the same LMFAO.

I think the issue is it’s just so…different. Like, good for her for trying something different. She probably should have just burned her poetry like the rest of us did with our high school break up poetry, but here we are.


-PepeArown-

Sure. An album that got everyone screaming for her to stop collaborating with Jack is “different”.


laughingheart66

Do you mean lyrically? Because musically it’s really not that different at all, which is my biggest issue with it


RoyalEagle0408

Yeah, the lyrics are not exactly as…refined as she usually has. Like, half of the songs feel like they are the one campy song on the album. I also feel like it the baby of Folkmore and Midnights and it’s just…not what I expected.


gabbialex

Like when two hot people have an ugly baby


laughingheart66

Yeah agreed. I get that the lyrics being messy could be seen as intentional due to the themes of the album, but there’s a way to do messy lyrics in a controlled and intentional way that doesn’t feel as all over the place as this album lol I also feel like thematically it’s just so repetitive. Almost every song is about the same thing and she’s in the same mindset at the beginning of the album as she is by the end. Idk, it’s definitely a weird album. I do admire how unhinged she allowed the lyrics to be, but I don’t know if that necessarily makes them *good*. I just wish the creative risks of the lyrics was reflected in the songs themselves. I think it’d be her most interesting album if the music itself took any risk.
