BuzzJack Music Forum _ Taylor Swift _ Best scathing/problematic song?

Posted by: Liаm 26th September 2017, 04:09 PM

Taylor has some "problematic" songs that revolve around feuds, break-ups and her often maligned personality traits - but which is your favourite? Which do you not like so much?

All of these are BOPS, I'm so here for bitchy Taylor to be honest I think I'm going to have to go for LWYMMD just because I can't get enough of it at the moment but all of these would probably be in my top 20 tracks of hers now (Better Than Revenge was a HUGE discovery from the album track competition run here last month ).

I love all these but I think Dear John comes out on top just, I absolutely love it and it never feels like 7 minutes long because it flies by and I can't help but belt it all out

Shake It Off was actually a decent song, if only she didn't follow it up by clearly not shaking the haters off though with Bad Blood/LWYMMD.

WANEGBT is on the good side of cheesy too.

Bad Blood is okay if only for the Kendrick guest verses, and the latter may well be one of the worst songs of the year.

Not heard the first two.

1. We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together - still amazing
2. Better Than Revenge - a huge highlight of Speak Now
3. Shake It Off
4. Look What You Made Me Do
5. Bad Blood
(massive gap)
6. Dear John - so dreary

I don't really know the first two well enough, I dislike "Bad Blood" (both versions) and I'm really growing to hate "Look What You Made Me Do".

So of the two left, "We Are Never Getting Back Together" by far.

WANEGBT is my fave overall but in hindsight I think LWYMMD is the shadiest lyricwise. Shoutout to Mean as well although it's not as shady as most of the ones in the poll.

1) Shake It Off
2) Look What You Made Me Do
3) WANEGBT
4) Better Than Revenge
5) Bad Blood
6) Dear John

Once agin they all slay, especially the top 4 *.* SIO & LWYMMD are up there with Taylor's best <3

In terms of scathing lyrics, my faves are the already iconic LWYMMD and better than revenge which remains quotable as ever today!

I DON'T TRUST NOBODY & NOBODY TRUSTS ME.

Definitely wouldn't consider SIO to be scathing or problematic. It's more positive than anything! I feel BS could definitely fit the scathing title though.

I enjoy all of those listed though.
