Taylor Swift Re:RED whatever

2021-08-10 by fluid in its most purist form. always drenched in an undeniable regal divinity. | 69 Comments
American music artist Taylor Swift has released the tracklist for her new old album Red (Taylor's Version). There are 30 of them, of different lengths and titles. The original Red contained 16 tracks, with 3 original bonus tracks. This version contains 30 tracks. She has taken back control.

The original Red received a mixed receptions upon release. Almost everybody was happy to admit that single "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together", still perhaps her catchiest song, was a certified bop. Some people criticised the album for inconsistency and its lack of maturity in transitioning from country-pop to diet-teendisco-pop. Literally no-one said it should have been longer.

Dad rock teddy bears Ed Sheeran and Gary Lightbody (of Snow Patrol) will reprise their features on "Everything Has Changed" and "The Last Time", respectively. Swift is currently 31 years old, a number likely to increase over time, and it is no longer of significant advantage to her career for her to sing with herbivore males (recent Bon Iver collaborations notwithstanding).

In order to rectify both this and marginalised frustration on the part of part of her L[GBT+] audience at her straight-as-bacon romantic cliches and flannel postulation having been white-paper'd into the hall of honourary queer icons by lazy poptimist gay men, Swift has played the ultimate safe bet and ushered last year's viral hangover poster girl ​Phoebe Bridgers onto a track potentially unironically named "Nothing New". Just be thankful that didn't make the headline. Chris Stapleton is also out there somewhere.

Back in 2012, Emeritus reviewer SowingSeason wrote: "Taylor Swift’s current status in pop-culture almost isn’t believable for someone her age... It’s been refreshing to watch someone so down-to-earth achieve such great success, and even more refreshing to watch her not change because of it."

Having witnessed Ms. Swift round off her pretend indie phase and turn her sights to this ur-not-my-manager campaign of artistic billboard bureaucracy against cosidetto scumbag Wernher von Braun, absolutely in no way correlated with Spotify pay-per-track profit projection spreadsheets, the ongoing militarisation of her post-Jesus fanbase of sinister doggos, or yuppie features lists, all I can say is: never change, Taylor. Your vengeance is our justice.

The album will be out in the future. Here is the list:

1. State of Grace
2. Red
3. Treacherous
4. I Knew You Were Trouble
5. All That I've Got
6. 22 (22 More)
7. I Almost Do (Taylor's Version)
8. We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together
9. Stay Stay Stay
10. The Last Time (feat. Gary Lightbody of Snow Patrol)
11. Holy Ground (FKA Twigs cover)
12. Sad Beautiful Tragic (For Jack)
13. Pretty Handsome Awkward
14. Everything Has Changed (feat. Ed Sheeran)
15. Starlight
16. Begin Again (Shinedown cover)
17. The Moment I Knew You Were Trouble
18. Come Back…Be Here
19. Girl At Home (You Know What To Do)
20. State of Grace (Acoustic Version)
21. Rowan
22. Better Man (Is There No)
23. Nothing New (feat. Phoebe Bridgers of Better Oblivion Community Center)
24. (A) Babe
25. Messages In A Bottle In My Letterbox
26. I Bet You Think About Me (feat. Chris Stapleton)
27. Forever Winter
28. Run (feat. Ed Sheeran)
29. The Very First Night
30. All Too Well (31 Minute Version)

These news articles are incredibly tiresome and unfunny. Not every sentence needs to be a "witty" one-liner. Genuinely painful to read.

we think we are wise, we think we our free
we think of these things, then johnny says ye
johnny says ye, johnny says ye
the rest of us ponder, how can this be?
though he’s a weeb, the site can agree
nothing’s the same after johnny says ye
what does it mean though? will we now see,
a swarm of old boomers, saying ye with glee?
ye during breakfast, ye during tea
a ye for all ye is a ye just for me

Haven’t posted on here in ages but imo this kind of thing is exactly what leads a lot of people to roll their eyes at the whole site nowadays. “News” posts like this just scream to me that the person posting thinks their opinion is so important and valuable that they have to put it front and center any opportunity they get.

I’m not even saying they aren’t funny at all, but now that almost every “news” post is basically just a “look how cool I am with my special hot takes” shitpost it just reinforces what a lot of people have thought about this site for years… that it’s an insular community of neckbeard elitists who turn their noses at 95% of new stuff that comes out. Which if you guys wanna double down on that, you do you… but personally I don’t think it makes many new users want to join, let alone contribute.

FWIW I was a contributor for a while myself, although that shouldn’t matter in regards to the arguments I’m making. Just how I personally see it… feel free to all fucking clown on me now, I know how this usually goes.

the only problem with johnnys articles is how obscenely try-hard the articles in this vein are. ima need you to be more covert with your attempts at entertaining me. that's really the only thing wrong with what he does.

“It would be badass to become a virgin again. First time to cum in a pussy after 5 seconds and first time to fuck for over an hour, first time to make a woman orgasm, first time to be lied to about being the biggest they ever had (I’ve seen porn I know there’s bigger than 7.5 inches and I’m probably your 50th 🙄) Would be awesome lol” -Storm In A Teacup

I like how she skipped her first three LP's and went straight to when she abandoned country

Almost like she realized those first three records had nothing worth it on them and went straight to her good music.
