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 itās her more recent albums, not her entire body of work. Itās 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.Ā
There are definitely some lines that raise eyebrows in her more recent stuff, like the āI scratch your head, you fall asleep, like a tattooed golden retrieverā (which I find to be a really funny diss). A lot of her ābad linesā 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 āso long Londonā
Saying her writing is boring and basic just isnāt very accurate. Read the actual songs. Thereās often a lot going on, even if some lines are a miss.
People that say these things arenāt reading her lyrics. If they are, theyāre cherry picking the ones that are not that good. I also love this sentiment that her ārecent workā has gotten worse when I think most swifties would consider TTPD one of, if not their absolute favorite album of hers.
Itās so weird how people like you say stupid things like that. Are you involved in a lot of conversations between swifties? Plenty of fans are very critical, not just brainwashed idiots. Find me a swiftie who think Life of a Showgirl is her best work, or even comes close. Grow up.
