Taylor Swift - The Tortured Poets Department (April 19, 2024) Album • Page 79

Extremely underrated album, imo!

 

My favorite of theirs! I believe it was the tour I went to only because I knew it would be more electric.

 

could never get into that M&S album at all unfortunately

 

Tompkins Square Park is probably my favorite of their songs.

 

Agree with all of this, but also feel a real ick with the fact that she capitalized KIM in the title for people to clearly know who it's about. I'm sure Taylor understands better than anyone how crazy stan culture is and the awful things fans might do or say. Why couldn't she let the song speak for itself and leave the inspiration up for interpretation? Whats the point of naming the antagonist "Aimie" to then just put the real name in the title?

 

I do agree that it's super silly to do that to the title

 

Thank you Aimie is funny

 

Red was the first Taylor album I got into and I've listened to it so many times that revisiting it doesn't really change my opinion. For me it's still easily the most inconsistent of her albums, with a lot of my favourite songs she's ever done but also my least favourite string of songs (Stay > Lucky) on any of the albums I like.

It's probably still pretty high in my rankings just for how great most of it is but I rarely want to listen to the whole thing.

 

Ranking check:

Red

Reputation, really the "most improved" in my own personal esteem.

 

I didn't understand Reputation until I realized what a great gym album it is and then it made me love the album in general. It's why I always hesitate to say I don't like her songs or albums cause they usually grow eventually and I have to backtrack lol

 

rep has been top 3 for me since the day it dropped

 

I'm looking forward to revisiting Reputation, I'm feeling like it's time for it to click for me.

 

incredible song from an incredible album that I honestly still can't listen to again yet

 

Rep was easily my favorite set in the eras tour

 

I listened to part of it on release day, stopped it, then deleted it and have never looked back

 

she ATE on the rep tour


Did I use that right

 

Rep is the original Lover album and you can't convince me of anything else.

The "worst" parts are the songs that were added to clap back.

 

Rep has one of my favorite Taylor songs “New Years Day”

 

LWYMMD, Ready for it, and Getaway car are the only 3 songs I ever go back to on Rep.

 

Steve speaking loud truths here and I’m smashing that proverbial quote tweet button

 

Yaaass Queen Garrett, slay bby!!!

 

I haven’t come back to TTPD very much but each time I listen to it I like it a bit more than the last. Think I’m trying to manage fatigue more than anything. I’m firmly in the camp that it’s overall one of her best lyrical records.

reputation has never grown on me really. Plenty of songs have parts I really like drowned out by parts I loathe. Absolutely adore don’t blame me and dancing with our hands tied though, and a few others I think are quite good, but that’s it as far as songs I enjoy all the way through.

 

With Folklore & Midnights being my on-ramp to full on Taylor Swift fandom, I am so so so so loving this album. I feel like every day a different song is a grower / new favorite that gets stuck in my head all day.

 

Reputation definitely feels like it’s aging well. The last time she did anything bombastic musically IMO. I haven’t seen her in concert, but the rep tour that was on Netflix and now it’s piece of the eras tour goes incredibly hard. Songs made for stadiums.

 

That tour was so much fun. And affordable in comparison.
