How You Get The Girl

Yeah as polarising as Man Of The Woods was it definitely got people talking

Just wondering if anyone else has heard this cover of ATW released last year? I don’t mind it, no major differences to make me want to listen to it over the original but it’s okay… Punk rock Taylor Swift? oTMnjnErUcU Plus there’s also You Belong With Me uY2DzVLs1P0 His YouTube also has covers of Selena Gomez, Dua Lipa, and more

Gorgeous is gorgeous :heart:

A semi random selection based on them all sharing “you are…” somewhere in them Which of these songs do you like the most? ** “you are”, not “you’re”

Forever & Always / Maroon was a moment

Clean… again

And now the tiebreaker has a tie :rofl:

is the slamming screen door, sneakin out late, tapping on your window

Clean pls Say Don’t Go deserves another 3-4 rounds in

Haunted love is always good to see :heart:

Happy

That’s a good point. It would all come down to manufactured popularity vs. actual popularity. Yes, songs like Dance Monkey, Cruel Summer, Something In The Orange, etc. have spent ridiculous lengths on the chart. But there is a reason for that in that they are just crazy popular songs. It’s unexciting but it’s accurate. There becomes the thing also, where the longer a song stays on the chart the more it will get played commercially. Radio likes to play the popular songs which are the ones that have been on the chart for a long time, and then that advertises people to play/buy the song and the cycle continues. Same goes for streaming Top Hit playlists which feature the biggest songs closest to the top so that people know to think “oh this playlist has Taylor Swifts biggest song from the year so it must be good”. Juxtapose that with the current events going on with Triple J “mainstreaming” itself and you end up with radio that is either a) playing only the most popular songs or b) playing alt rock hits from 20 years ago because that is the demographic.

Marjorie :heart: folklore and evermore probably take the cake when it comes to Taylor’s songwriting talents. Even if either of them aren’t your favourite album it’s hard to argue they aren’t lyrical finesse

I’m late to this but these are all superb, fantastic job everyone involved! Extra props to 1999, 2017, and Lost Legends. I’ve saved all three of those on Spotify and will happily play through these frequently. Britpop isn’t my favourite genre (would you consider it as a genre or more of a style?) but I still admit there’s quite a few solid songs on there. Amazing Edit: I forgot to mention this before, but I wanna commend you guys on the flow on each of these albums. Something Now! hasn’t been successful in for… years? If ever! There’s natural progression track on track flowing between genres as best as possible. I’ve looked at the most recent official Now’s and they are wildly all over the place

If this wasn’t a 3-way tie I’d say to move my vote to WTNY to cut the tie as it’d be my next pick, but that wouldn’t help too much lol It’s a great album opener but as far as returning to it as an individual song - meh

Is there any such thing as a singles chart that is more boring than ARIA? Mind you I’m not super up to date with charts overseas besides the #1s. Is chart movement really becoming this stale lol On the plus side I suppose I’m happy for the TS domination. I wonder where Lover would chart if Cruel Summer was out of the picture?

100x better than yes, and? tbh. I was worried I wasn’t gonna enjoy this era too much but this has given me faith

I guess a follow up to this would also be: what is your favourite line in her songs?

Not necessarily your favourite song or the one that performed the best. But lyrically speaking, which of her songs do you think has the best writing? A couple of my favs below. What do you think? sRxrwjOtIagryLGxpjwAhM

Aaaand four years on... 1. ...Ready For It? 2. Don't Blame Me 3. Delicate 4. Getaway Car 5. Look What You Made Me Do 6. I Did Something Bad 7. Call It What You Want 8. Gorgeous 9. So It Goes 10. End Game 11. King Of My Heart 12. New Year's Day 13. Dress 14. Dancing With Our Hands Tied 15. This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things RFI is firmly a Top 5 Taylor Swift song for me, no question about it. I'd push to say 'perfect' but who am I to judge hmm. I will say though that reputation was the best album live at the Eras tour. Obviously it was all amazing, but repuation was such a production. The energy behind each song was phenomenal. Four years ago I probably would've said this was my favourite TS album but now maybe I'd drop it to #2-3. The re-recordings have reignited my love for her older albums and pushed rep to the side a little. I imagine when reputation TV comes out it'll be different though :lol:

Sad to agree that Selfish is a whole lot of nothing, as if that’s what he chose to be the lead Drown however is actually quite nice. Sure it’s not an all timer but it’s way better than Selfish

betty

Clean 100% How did y’all manage to do both Bad Bloods so dirty omg

I was in Sydney last week and the entire city was Taylor crazy! 4 shows and I reckonjust about everyone was listening to her, here’s some genuine examples lol Radio having an hour a day dedicated to playing just Taylor, not even just the biggest hits either they played august :heart: I was in a huge department store entrance and could hear four different speakers playing music from different shops. ALL FOUR SHOPS PLAYING TAYLOR SWIFT. No joke. Bejewelled, WANEGBT, Shake It Off, Anti Hero The train to and from the concert renamed Tay Tay Express and playing her songs for passengers, though this one makes the most sense
