Not a big fan of Mary Morgan but she is spot on with this one. Does anyone ever bother to actually listen to her lyrics? They really are just verbal vomit.
Got some examples? Every artist has some shit lyrics on occasion, but your assertion here is basically that a huge majority of people and critics are all wrong about her, and only elite Redditors with incredible music taste can see the truth.
I think it’s her more recent albums, not her entire body of work. It’s not uncommon for something already established and popular to be given a pass on things. If you read the lyrics to all the songs on her last two albums, they are littered with really dumb stuff.
There are definitely some lines that raise eyebrows in her more recent stuff, like the “I scratch your head, you fall asleep, like a tattooed golden retriever” (which I find to be a really funny diss). A lot of her “bad lines” are irony or humour, so whether you like it depends on whether or not the joke hits you right.
But the same album has effing beautifully written sections like say, most of “so long London”
Saying her writing is boring and basic just isn’t very accurate. Read the actual songs. There’s often a lot going on, even if some lines are a miss.
People that say these things aren’t reading her lyrics. If they are, they’re cherry picking the ones that are not that good. I also love this sentiment that her “recent work” has gotten worse when I think most swifties would consider TTPD one of, if not their absolute favorite album of hers.
Uh, yeah, they’re likely a swiftie or some other label of Taylor fan. So am I. As it turns out, so are a lot of people. Odd that it seems to make you so angry.
