I dont mean her presidential recommendation, no i am talking of her latest album. Its easily her best and its neither super poppy nor country. So during covid she got into folk music, and she just became more somber and mature almost overnight. There is a reason more older people listen vs teens. Shes older now, 34, and makes music for her age group but everyone assume she stills aim at teenager girls.
You could go to her newest albums and only listen to her explicit tracks to get the most change, but thats not all she is either.
Im no pro on music, i check spotify on Fridays and listen what instrested me, mostly rap but whatever. But im a die hard swiftie
Counterpoint. Maybe it wasn’t the folksy music that resulted in her musical maturity and it was her hitting a milestone age. It’s a well known fact that artists crossing the 34 year old barrier mature significantly and often hit their artistic stride. You can actually Google “mature rule 34” to see more examples of this!

Well, you’ve got my upvote, since this is unpopular opinion. I don’t hate her music, I just find it so bland. Like faster speed elevator music. I’m not trying to hate on her, or say you’re wrong for liking her music, but I am part of “everyone” and I don’t care to listen to it.
I think everyone should listen to her presidential recommendation
You talking about Tortured Poets Department? Jokes aside about recommending a popular artist as an ‘unpopular’ opinion - I actually do disagree. I’m a pretty solid Swift fan but TPD doesn’t really do anything for me. I’ve listened to the whole album a couple of times and I found the songs all kind of samey and forgettable.
If you want to introduce people to Swift, I’d vote for “All Too Well” which I think is just such a brilliant, relatable song about unrequited love.
Hmmm, I kinda agree this is an unpopular opinion to an extent.
I would, however, argue that it’s relatively rather than objectivly unpopular, so expect a lot of disagreement.
I also kinda agree. Not for the way you said things (which never actually says why everyone should give her a listen, only general opinions about the recent album and her catalog), but I tend to be in favor of trying any major artist at least once, purely as a way of connecting to other people.
Music can bridge gaps. If there’s millions of people into a given artist/band, there’s a reason for that, even if it’s something that you view as a negative. Sharing the experience, even if you don’t enjoy it, at least gives you a chance to share something with others to a limited degree. That’s always a good thing, and that’s even for objectively bad music/art/literature.
I apologize, i tend to only post when i drink and thats when the barrier that prevents me from being social is gone.
The only thing i need to say is listen to her newest deluxe album . If you’re 4 songs in amd don’t like it? Drop it.
Nothing wrong there :)
I love you.
So in another decade she’ll be playing jazz? I can wait.
Actually i think down bad would be the best introduction of taylor swift now. Its folky popy and she says fuck a bunch, so its a great starting point that ignored her younger country times.
