I see Billie and Taylor keep releasing new versions of their album since apparantly their #s are close... all in all I know its business but it just looks dumb, especially on Taylor's end lol.
So dumb, much moreso on Taylor’s part (her album had already been out and in the #1 position for what, 4-5 weeks?).
I was all about team Taylor until this album cycle. First off, TTPD is pretty much unlistenable for me. It’s painfully self-indulgent, way too many songs and most of them sound the same. It all sounds boringly familiar; not an envelope in sight she might try pushing, no experimentation in sound or anything. Sorry girl, I know you’re on top of the world and can do whatever you want, but your artistry is suffering. I imagine due in part to everyone being a “yes-person” for her megastar ego, including Jack and whoever else might be able to reign in her narcissistic extravagance.
On top of that, Billie’s album crushes TTPD creatively, is near perfect, a sweet 10 songs (seriously Taylor, 32 fucking songs??), and TSwift just had to release a few more “special editions” of TTPD the day Billie’s new album drops? So fucking juvenile, and self-serving in a way that isn’t even serving her. It’s just bad form, plainly defensive, jealous. And yes I’m sure the biggest star in the world 100% has tons of insecurity and unprocessed shame / inadequacy shit.
thanks for coming to my ted talk rant
