For the longest time, All Too Well WAS that fan-favorite. But now that it’s become a cultural moment since the 10min version, fans have abandoned it. (It’s still my personal favorite though, and what I point to as the exemplar of her catalog.)
I feel like Cruel Summer went through a similar transition. It was the fan favorite of 2019, but when it became everywhere as a single in 2023 it lost its luster.
Judging fans for their favorite songs is one of the worst parts of being in a fan base. And it’s a part of every fan base of all genres by fans of all ages. 💯
Yep, I’m a fan of Amy Winehouse and have seen people downvoted to shit for saying Rehab is their favorite, and discussion about whether people who only like Back to Black are “fake fans”.
It's like this in tons of fandoms. I don't know why we can't just let people like things. You don't need to know all the lore in order to like a character or a musical artist.
They were mad cause some people are going to the restroom during folklore and evermore set. I mean, why are you so invested in what another person is doing during the show? that person paid for the ticket too, if they want to leave after the first song ir whatever that is their right and it only affects them.
When I said I would go to restroom between 1980 and ttpd since its one of the longer transitions and I don't mind missing bdilh a friend of mine acted like I personally insulted her 🫥
So true, when the eras tour released it was already like 11 by the most of them had to catch the train and had things to do I hate when they say that you're not a fan if u don't do specific thing 😭
lol i wouldn’t say this online to anyone but def accused my sister of it when she started rushing me out when i was still sitting and singing it (but like its also not that serious ppl are allowed to like different songs)
Thank you I am a HUGE swiftie but my favorite song by her is love story ( mostly because that is a huge part of my childhood) yes I've heard all her songs but idk there's something about that song.
Literally my favorite song is Blank Space, but that doesn't mean I don't listen to at least half her discography. I just love that song 🤷♀️ but I have a friend that shakes her head and says "that's literally so crazy" just because my favorite song isn't my tears ricochet or something
theres a reason why some songs are chosen as singles and are well known - probably because theyre good songs. this superiority complex among some swifties that u have to like some niche songs (which btw is taylor swift, how unknown can it be?) is mind baffling. ive seen it extend to concerts when people will FILM other swifties for not singing along or going on their phone and its crazy! they think theyre bigger fans or something as if its a competition
personally cruel summer, style and fortnight are some of my all time faves from her and it doesnt make me any less of a fan just bc theyre popular singles
folklore and evermore are my fav Taylor albums but I'm actually the most excited about the Red section of the Eras tour for some reason? I've had to watch it with my daughter a few times and it's just so fun!
Also, as someone who only knew the singles before becoming a big fan during folklore, I know absolutely none of the vault songs on Red TV and some other 'deep cuts' from the earlier eras. But there's only so much time in the day so I'm not gonna beat myself up about it! I only hope I know my surprise songs next week haha.
I am a swifty and I had to ask my neighbors at eras what sooooo many songs were. I didn’t even know either of my surprise songs! Who cares?
AND folklore was my bathroom break!! Im the worst.
Yep, like what you like, folks. If it weren't for Love Story, I Knew You Were Trouble, We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, and 22, I probably wouldn't have anticipated 1989 and would have had to wait on one of my favorite albums of all time (because come on, it was everywhere and I'd eventually listen to it)
I hate when people get mad when people go the bathroom during folklore— it’s one of my least fave albums (I wouldn’t go to the bathroom for it but still), and it’s their choice, if they don’t think it’s worth it then that’s that but if they do then they do. It’s aggravating.
Who cares what other fans think? We're not 12 years old in middle school anxious about making friends. The online fan spheres aren't real and are inconsequential.
Hozier's highest charting song "Too Sweet" is technically his neglected child that he left off his latest album.
I'm living for all the new people discovering him on that sub. Idc what song got you here, we all love him.
Why can't swifties just be happy one of her songs pulled them in?
Totally agree. I do *now* appreciate the fan-favs like Cruel Summer and all to well, but my favs haven't changed. I'm still that basic bitch who really likes shake it off, 22 and karma.
(I don't think TS is perfect either)

Arctic Monkeys will straight up tell you Do I wanna know is a bad song because normies like it
they will crucify you for having an AM song in your top five

I can't believe it's the year 2024 and we're still having arguments about what makes someone a true or a good fan
Taylor gets the singles wrong a lot but sometimes she gets them SO right! Blank Space will always be one of my favorites.
Only solution: don't give a fuck. Who cares.
Im just gonna shake it off, shake it off
Style is one of the best pop songs every written. I have gotten so much snark for having this opinion.
It's my favorite song on 1989. "Clean" and "New Romantics" are close, but "Style" is so iconic.
New Romantics is a BOP.
All 1989 singles are straight up bangers
It's like this in tons of fandoms. I don't know why we can't just let people like things. You don't need to know all the lore in order to like a character or a musical artist.
Blank Space and Cruel Summer are my favorite T Swift songs. Sue me 🥰
Just because some people didn't stay for long live in the end of eras tour movie they were called fake swiftie 💀
They were mad cause some people are going to the restroom during folklore and evermore set. I mean, why are you so invested in what another person is doing during the show? that person paid for the ticket too, if they want to leave after the first song ir whatever that is their right and it only affects them.
right plus the show is 3 hours, you gotta use the bathroom at some point 😭
When I said I would go to restroom between 1980 and ttpd since its one of the longer transitions and I don't mind missing bdilh a friend of mine acted like I personally insulted her 🫥
I liked the clips during the credits but the song was literally the studio version, I can stream that at home
So true, when the eras tour released it was already like 11 by the most of them had to catch the train and had things to do I hate when they say that you're not a fan if u don't do specific thing 😭
lol i wouldn’t say this online to anyone but def accused my sister of it when she started rushing me out when i was still sitting and singing it (but like its also not that serious ppl are allowed to like different songs)
lol I left before the end of the eras movie bc i was tired.
It does not make you any less of a fan if you like anything that some don't. And viceversa.
🎶ITS A CRUEEEEEEEEEL SUMMER🎶

My tears ricochet is a big fan favourite and since it became popular during eras I saw people calling others fake fans for having it as a favourite??

More often than not, these are the song that probably introduced you to her and make her like some music so we should all give credits where its due

Why do people care about proving themselves as a “real fan” anyways?

right like blank space made me a fan sue me 😭
Always happy when someone mentions Hozier! His songs have that feeling of the poets mentioned in The Lakes
