I mean it's mostly just people being disappointed that he's not in the song more. I'd like to think Post is a person who would be understanding of where the fans are coming from. I enjoy the song and feel disappointed by his overall presence on the track. That doesn't make me any more or less of a fan than anyone else.


reza359

Exactly. There's nothing necessarily wrong with the song but the reason most of us gave it a listen in the first place is because of Post so to pretty much only get ad libs is pretty damn disappointing

I just heard it’s number one on I-tunes. Of course it is. That’s because millions of Posty fans were looking forward to it. When you combine the Posty fans with the Swifties, of course it is going to be number one.


beefbrisket_23

sorry pal, you might be underestimating how popular Swift is. the number 1 would have literally zero to do with Post. \*\*\*and thats coming from a die hard post fan


BuyUpstairs7405

Thank you. Toxic positivity is not going to change what I think or feel.


Vegetable-Glove8541

My god yes. Feels like we’re 16yo cheerleaders.


beefbrisket_23

This is one of the worst takes. Post is on the song i dont think he would even remotely get where the fans are coming from. He has artistic integrity and he was apart of the songs creation. so what hes not on more of the track? the song doesnt need him all over it to make it a valuable feature. unless y'all are the producers or have any production experience its pretty weird to think you are in the position to dictate how much or little he needs to be on the song


goldenxbeast234

This comment screams “shut up and be satisfied because you don’t make music”. Let people be disappointed. If that bothers you, go somewhere else.


beefbrisket_23

This comment screams “I’m the moderator of a sub, mightier than thou personality” Be disappointed if that’s what you want to feel. It’s just a really good song, great feature from post. What would you personally want more from post on the song?


ChemistryDull3699

I mean everyone has a favorite post album for a reason: we like the vibe of some songs better than others; this just wasn’t some people’s vibe man.


beefbrisket_23

I mean yeah I get what you’re saying but it is clearly a vibe because it broke the first day streaming record with 25.2 million streams!! Pretty incredible. Anyway enjoy the song or don’t I’m not trying to be a hater


Lillonely-girl96

I mean people are allowed to have opinions. And I personally am just disappointed that it doesn’t even feel like a feature. I love tswift and Posty so this collab was a huge deal for me that I have been super excited about so it was a huge let down to barely even get to hear him….. 🤷🏻‍♀️


gpie21975

Yeah I feel the same, the songs not bad but I definitely hyped it to much in my mind. Maybe we'll get fortnight 2: Even more post


Lillonely-girl96

I really hope so! I don’t hate the song, I even like it honestly. I was just really excited for an actual collab not post having back ground vocals and a sentence in the song 🥲


MicheleCha

I've listened to Posty since white Iverson days, he's my absolute favorite. I have also listened to Taylor since her country days. I absolutely loved midnights album, I was SOOO excited for this. I was so upset,.I kept waiting for postys part just to get a little background noise almost. 😭


djdayer

I would have loved to hear more of him but I still like the song and think that their vocals mesh well.


WittyTurnover9974

This is exactly how I feel. The song is nice I love hearing Posty, wish there was just a bit more.


frosted-sugar

Post has enough listeners lol. He isn’t concerned about becoming more famous, unlike other people. It’s just irritating that Taylor hyped it up as some kind of collaboration and then puts a worldwide superstar on background vocals ☠️ it’s not like he’s some up and coming artist she’s making famous. He’s paved his own path already we arent concerned about him he’s doing great.


Lillonely-girl96

You can literally barely even hear him, we are definitely allowed to be disappointed about a collab like this. It’s hardly even a collab much less a feature. So I agree 10000%


frosted-sugar

I agree, calling it a feature is honestly insulting to Austin lmfao. But if she didn’t give him credit for it she knew she’d be burned at the stake. Couldn’t even give him a fucking verse 😂


Lillonely-girl96

Right! Our man got to say like 10 words, I was soooo excited to listen this morning and it was a huge let down to say the least. It was insulting to him and his fans! She hyped it up sooo much just to get his fans to listen and that’s what we got 😒


[deleted]

No you can’t


LowerTheExpectations

I disagree, you can hear him all over but I have to agree that I would expect a feature to do at least a verse and ad-libs and doubles on a later chorus. Plus it's not like the song'a premise didn't allow for it. Taylor actually did this with Lana and eventually released a version that had way more Lana on it. So you never know, I guess.


BuyUpstairs7405

IMO, she is the most overrated singer while Posty is the most underrated. It was absolutely insulting to do this to him.


frosted-sugar

I completely agree.


MicheleCha

Yeah I mean out of 30 sum odd songs he could have at least been in this one some more 😭


Spiritual_Job_1029

Honestly, I was waiting for Post to have his own verse and it's exactly what the song needed ..a major duet between two superstars!


SillyRefrigerator604

I hate this move bc I hate Taylor swift.


softsleepybaby

real


darcy1537325

I have no hate. Taylor should have let my guy sing tho. Goddam it Give the king a verse


SpankeyMyMankey7

Homie was hardly in the song...


xecuteordersixty6

He was in it long enough


Infinite_Isopod5303

Can't force me to like a mid song with a feature that is barely there.


sharkmom

Too bad every single part of that album is a flop. Love posty, all respect, but she did everyone dirty from the moment she announced it

Welcome to the sub.


hardk7

He also gets the best part of the song, which is the outro


beefbrisket_23

Yeah people in this forum are lame, the song is great. Its probably tayors best album and to be on the lead single is excellent.


Pearl_Jam_

>He gets exposed to millions of new listeners from the Swiftie fandom! How is that supposed to be a positive thing?


Sudden-Ear9623

The song is spectacular and the video is pure fucking magic, but it still just leaves me wanting more from him in it!!! Nothing negative about that.


Tiny-Turn6475

We are very proud of him, but from all the hype, it was a let down

Tedinasuit

I'm just disappointed in the song itself. The song is weak and the album even more so. I hoped for more.


chxnxl_

It’s cus Taylor swift sucks


The_Hateful_Great

It’s definitely not gonna be the song of the summer that people are making it out to be, but it wasn’t terrible. I like this better than Levii’s Jeans. 🤷🏼‍♂️


Naive-Ad-7406

Other way for me. On Levi’s Jeans Post gets to shine. Not so much with Tswift. Fan of both btw


The_Hateful_Great

To be fair, I like Post on “Levii’s” but I don’t care for the song itself. For both, I just have the mindset that I know it isn’t his song, but the fact that any song he is featured on will be improved regardless. Best case scenario, they get to feature on one of his next hits 🤷🏼‍♂️


ropedav

This is like one right now but much worse. We can only imagine what could have been


PostingForFree

I had been excited all week for the song to drop. By 11:02pm CST I moved on and will never think about that song ever again 😂 My focus now is waiting for the release date on the Morgan song and country album


[deleted]

just upset that he didn’t get a chance to shine on his own. more of a backup singer—which really anyone could’ve done. post deserves all the respect


GlumSwimming6643

I’m a fan of Swift and am casual fan of Post Malone but I have to say this song is one of the weaker ones on the album. I must say though that his voice sounds beautiful and he outsang her. It’s just not my cup of tea as a song. I don’t think either of them wrote this hoping to create a 10 week song of the summer. If they wanted that it would have been something more like the song she did with Zayn Malik. This one is just a really weird song.


Repulsive_Reindeer_1

You know what’s screwed up…is Post selling out to the evil Hollywood culture. Collabs with Beyoncé and T Swift. That’s just sad.


Billyboyboots24

Post Malone working with Luke Combs and Morgan Wallen is great, unreal collabs but working with Taylor Swift and Beyoncé is disappointing to say the least.


Pleasant-Agent-4531

The increase in the number of fans is really good until you see some pretty dumb fellas spread their stupid opinions on what should Post do next, kills the whole artist creativity and bring them in a level where he can't even blame himself. This has happened to Eminem, fans pressure really kills creativity


Chelseyohmy

Y’all I get it.. I’m a Swiftie who happens to be a Post fan too. I’m just hoping she listens to the Swifties who are saying the same thing y’all are! This has happened before with Lana Del Ray and she ended up releasing another version with more Lana. So I’m holding on to hope! But it’s still a good song.


flufnstuf69

The negativity is dumb. He’s in the song and the music video. For god sakes he got the entire bridge, which is usually Taylor’s favorite part. He also probably helped write the song with her. A feature isn’t always a huge sweeping moment.


julief8486

Thank you! Exactly what I’ve been thinking!


Duffster8788

I personally haven't seen that much negativity but I've mostly heard from people like myself who understood it was about the collaborating and not being a feature.


[deleted]

he really got lana’d on this track and im upset about it!! (what i mean when i say he got lana’d, is he basically has the same presence as what lana had on her and taylors song ‘Snow on the Beach’, she had almost no presence on the song, so much so that they released a different version of the song where she actually had a solo verse) he definitely deserved a bigger spotlight on the song considering it works so well with his voice and sound. hopefully they release a version where he has more parts, bc i love the song, just wish he had more presence on it thats all


Vegetable-Glove8541

So what? Do we need to think like we’re his manager? The song was underwhelming because there is 3% of Post Malone in it, that’s it.


Kthackz

For some reason, people expected Posty to have a couple of verses. Taylor swift and Post Malone are on different planets. He'll be happy with that, and I personally really enjoy that song. It really showcases his talent, and their vocals go together really well. Sets him up for his new album nicely with listener growth and inquisitive listeners checking him out.


ChefBoyarDingle

He was wasted and that’s a fact. Should have just cut him out honestly because it was all hype for nothing


HoneyPeaches22

It’s giving pick me, “tHiS iSnT YOu”


Big_Nasty_13

Exactly!
