did anyone else read how she had to sell her ENTIRE catalog of music to some industry douchebag recently? pretty fucked up, kinda changed my perspective on her career. hope she finds success in the long run.

it’s not really a matter of whether the songs are good. It’s that the songs are hers that she spent her personal time writing, and she fought hard for ownership, yet still lost all rights. Really sad.

I’d read Taylor’s statement on it as well

Man, I can't imagine how that feels. To lose your rightful ownership on something you worked hard on and poured yourself into.

No, Condé Nast did. :-P I’m all for a reappraisal and am glad that “serious” music critics have stopped ignoring the mainstream as they did in the 00s and early 10s, but I can’t help but feel this is a bit much.

A curious detail: Vogue called them out in a recent interview with Swift: "I was reminded that Pitchfork did not review Taylor Swift’s 1989 but did review Ryan Adams’s cover album of Taylor Swift’s 1989."

Both sites are owned by Conde Naste. hmmmmm

I’m with boney a bit but also glad they’re not totally relitigating swift in a reactionary way to map her so-called opportunism onto a political schema or whatever. I (somewhat) know the lady who wrote the scathing review for “you need to calm down” and she’s cool IRL but has been a...well, some sort of force for pitchfork’s voice. Way hella woke, and I feared that any future appraisal of Taylor Swift, who is great, would follow suit. Uncharitably you could say that whatever they give the new album will bear this out and that she’s uncool NOW as opposed to THEN, eg when these albums came out, but yah I’m glad they’re sort of owning up to the fact that she’s dope lmao



FWIW

Basically I get that it’s sort of funny for them to be reviewing TS but we crossed that bridge a long time ago and at least they did it right. I guess

Fearless is her masterstroke to me, but I wouldn’t live on th difference between it and SN (is that a thing people say like that? “Live on the difference”)
