I wish they didn’t give that rotten school bully more of a centre stage in this, I was hoping she’d be killed off swiftly rather than made a traitor. It’s bad enough that she’s on everything ugh. Hoping she won’t last long although Richard has as much shelf life as Tesco value raspberries left out in the sun. Wish Leigh-Anne was made a traitor instead, hope she gets recruited down the line and takes over the sinking ship.

Best: Ready For It (very special mentions to State Of Grace, Welcome To New York, Willow and The Fate Of Ophelia though! This really has started off strong!) Worst: Tim McGraw

With the success of the ultimate album track game in other artist forums and the green light to do the same, I’m bringing the game into the Taylor forum! Each round, vote your favourite and least favourite track from each album starting with the first, and then the second, and so on to determine the best and worst picks from each album on average of the votes the tracks receive. 12 albums into her career, the variety is very strong, which will make for a big but fun challenge! I’ll keep each thread open for 4 days, so the first round I’ll keep up until Sunday. Have fun!

Goodbye goodbye goodbye, you were bigger than the whole sky 💔💔💔 Nobody talk to me 😭

I love a bit of Freya Ridings but does Lost Without You really get someone in the mood to get it on? I personally vote no. I also loved the scene between Denise and Ash, really showcasing that the latter is still intelligent even if she is stubborn as hell.

Best: Bad Idea Worst: Piano Less close this time although I do love Supernatural too.

Cara’s not a new addition lol she was part of the Bad Blood squad!! Still though we love legends supporting legends 🥰

Len would have got my vote but still happy with whoever wins, although my vote goes to LeAnn!

Dirty Talk, a timeless classic tbh!!

Very close but In My Mind has the edge slightly.

Saw my mistake now 😅 edited the list, every song below 23 got an extra point and Feels has been added giving it one point.

No no it’s not aimed at you because you articulate your thoughts and opinions properly without toxic remarks - I have to make that absolutely clear, you’re not being referred to here as I know that what she has brought out recently hasn’t been to your taste and that’s fine! But I will tell you in regards to the biased critics, Pitchfork made a tweet about the Encore before it even dropped foreshadowing their opinions before they even heard it, and have never rated any of her albums higher prior to Showgirl. Having taste is one thing but making presumptuous comments about how something is going to be bad before having proper judgement is bias. My problem comes from those who have barely ever liked her at her best (which I’m grown up enough to admit that this isn’t her best work even though I do enjoy it) making comments that liking one’s music is to be ashamed of and making comments on variants and wealth when the majority of the big pop stars are the same - a huge amount of pop stars release tonnes of vinyls and have a net worth of shy of £1B and don’t get anywhere near the same flack, she’s just a scapegoat. Not to mention how much money she donates to charities more than governments can be arsed to do. None of that matters at all to some people because it’s flashy to hate on someone who’s not popular in the echo chamber they call home, and that is aimed at somebody here but again, absolutely not you.

Duffy with absolute ease.

I also want to note that it’s okay not to understand something or even to understand something and not like it, I can understand how Cleveland is cringey and still love it. The issue comes when you have a problem that not everyone feels the same way. It’s just music.

The conversation isn’t being started by Swifties though, it’s being started by non-fans and biased critics who either want her to remake Folklore, make a toaster-dropped-in-a-bath hyperpop album or quit music in general. Do better than assume that every pop music enthusiast is going to think the same way because I know you’re more mature than this.

These tracks have grown on me to new heights over the last 24 hours, Patient Zero and Pink Clouding especially, and Cleveland is an absolute earworm!!

I'd bet everything on her going back to country roots after this, there's no way she'd ignore the anniversary of debut and how country pop is back on trend, and even though it's the side of her that I'm less fond of personally I know that it would be appreciated among the fandom more than the last two eras. I say that although I Knew It I Knew You was disliked by most here so she can't win either way lmao

+5: Nicole Kidman +4: Babydoll +3: Stop The Wedding +2: Great Expectation +1: Training Season -1: Choosin Texas -2: My Body Isn’t Ready -3: Rein Me In -4: The Cure -5: Boston

Best: Break Free (I thought track 4 was a tough choice but not picking God Is A Woman, Side To Side, AND Eternal Sunshine hurt!!) Worst: Lovin It

I thought it was curtains for Anita when she was in the bottom 3, I’m glad she was saved although this wasn’t her shining moment after being robbed last week. She’s getting the Chai treatment this year and I can tell that no matter what, her days her numbered. I feel like so many of them could have been in the top but KY was correct, although I’d have had Naya winning too if there was to be 2 winners, both her and Mocha were strong but Naya made me that bit more entertained. On the other end I’m sad to lose Delta after not doing much wrong through the competition so far, I wouldn’t have expected to lose her so soon, but the moment the lipsync started I knew it was over. Hopefully Paris is gone next week.

Michael absolutely deserved this win and ended a very good season in the best way, I’m so happy she’s a part of the winners circle now, with how tight it was in UK5 this really was her moment. Art also really shown how talented she is and how much she can shine in a better cast, although I would have loved Jade to have been top 2 over her, I can’t argue much. This series really restored my faith after how godawful the quality of Canada’s all stars ended up. It just goes to show, when you have a cast of talented queens who want to do well at the challenges rather than play some social game, you end up with challenges that are well executed throughout, and a final where everyone has a case of winning.

Oh Yeah? Loser Really cracked me up 😭😭 Also ffs at Boston increasing, was hoping it was on its way out.

Thrilled it's had a chance to make in before next week! I hope it can have some decent staying power when 2/3 of Taylor's album tracks slip out of the top 10 and let Ain't In LA in too. The top 10 is beginning to heal

Well done Sienna once again although I'm so ready for Patient Zero to come in hard next week!
