I love you proph and your standing for Tay Tay. All these haters better sit down and enjoy being served flawlessness. They just don’t understand when perfection is right in front of them. But I think the songs in ‘Red’ aren’t as distinct and discernible as everything in ‘Speak Now’. I’ve had ‘Red’ on repeat and several of the songs sound similar to work on the album and previous albums. I love her G-rated Ke$ha song and everything is amazing (but: Starlight sounds like a Train song, Girl At Home seems like it’s first album material and the Ed Sheeran collab is meh). LOVE The Lucky One.

obvi agree with the minaj hate… however taylor is right up there, too. you can only judge an album’s writing by the way it makes you feel and think about something new, makes you think “i never thought of it that way.” … polar opposite of taylor. she brings me back to 8th grade. every. fucking. time.

moreover- music critics at this point can’t be taken seriously… they give positive reviews and in return get interviews with said popular star, write article, gets read, makes money… it’s a vicious cycle and renders it completely useless as a means to judge music.

she was the nail in the country music’s coffin, a downward spiral beginning when they kicked out the dixie chicks for rascal-flatt country-pop…. but i digress.

still wanna top you / xxoo

I never was one to pay attention to music critics, mostly cause I just don’t care, but to each their own. Maybe she is an excellent songwriter, however I personally have never been that into songs about love or songs about relationships, so perhaps that’s why I find Taylor’s music so utterly annoying. I also find her to be aesthetically dull, which is another pretty big turn off for me. I think she is just always going to be one of those tremendously polarizing artists.

Yes it’s selling across the world…

And it’s not just tween girls buying her albums. You need more than tweens to sell a million first week. Go read the reviews of her album, or actually LISTEN to her music istead of ignorantly judging.

I’m sorry not everyone can be a brilliant like your fave Nicki Minaj and yell shit like “FUCK WHO YOU WANT AND FUCK WHO YOU LIKE!”

You just sound ignorant because you obviously haven’t listened to her last two albums. Her writing is excellent. Go and read some of the album reviews for Red or Speak Now even, from the serious critics. Most have praised the songwriting.

I just can’t with you fucking preaching about McDonalds food and shit when your favorite artist is Nicki fucking Minaj. Seriously.

stupid tween girls, with unevolved tastes, and even more unevolved emotional states of being. LoL…do you know how many country bumpkins and pathetic girls in the suburbs live in the USA?

a kola bear really needs to come and sLap you upside your aussie face if you wanna sit there and preach about this mouse lookin trick being a “good” songwriter.
Rehashing the same trivial themes and content over N over N over N over etc does not qualify someone as a “good writer” simply because it continues to sell.
there’s no denying this chick is killin hoes on the sales tip, but don’t confuse that for quality writing.

That’s like saying the lonely old women who write cheesy paperback romance novels that sell millions each year are “good” writers.

just becuz there’s a market for something doesn’t mean that the product being fed is actually “good”.

hell, Mcdonald’s slays the sales of EVERY OTHER RESTAURANT in the world, but does that make their food the best, let alone “good”? LoL

dig that cum out of your ears and step up your Listening skills.

After hearing “Never Ever” and “I knew you were trouble” I thought this album was going to be more mainstream with more dubstep (I was getting ready to dislike it) , but when you get to hear it full you realize the sound still orbits around guitars. Yes it isn’t as country as her first album, but it isn’t too far away from Speak Now. It has more of a folk sound, it also sounds more mature to me. Speak now didn’t overcome Fearless, Red might do it.
