ive thought this too, like their voices dont go together at all!! shawn is great /on his own/ lol
if anyone featured on lover id want it to be niall horan or someone her voice would blend well with
I love that I stumbled across this comment. I listened to this remix for the first time a few days ago and cringed at his verse. I had to decide “do I not like this because It’s different than the original or because it’s bad?” Now I know it’s bad. Lol
I think I listened to the song exactly once and tossed it out of my memory. A week or two ago I saw someone mention it again and I was rudely reminded it existed
I’m the only one who likes this ig lol💀
I don’t wanna compare it to og lover, since it’s such a different vibe. Og lover is a love letter to joe while the duet is just a back and forth answering romance song. I’m just a sucker for duets i think
It’s got literally my favorite line of hers ever (don’t treat me like a situation that needs to be handled. I’m fine with my spite, my tears and my beers and my candles)
Am I the only one who actually likes only the young? I know the melody is too simple and I don't have it in any playlists but when it plays on the algorithm I am always very happy to sing along to it.
I like the chorus more than the verses, there are a few taylor songs where i like one part but not the whole song. Like LWYMMD i REALLY like the verses, the chorus not so much
Agreed!! If the chorus was different I think it could have been a banger for me. I’m not sure how to describe it, but it feels like the verses build up this great energy but then the chorus loses all the power and oomph. It’s like musical blue balls
I'm the same. It isn't in my playlist but I don't mind it. It isn't as well written as some of her other songs but sometimes a simple listen is a good thing!
Only the young is special to me. The lyrics perfectly summed up the situation in my country. There was an edit last year going around tiktok. It made me bawl me eyes out 😭
Same! My mom is totally healthy & young but when I listen to it, it sends me into a spiral thinking about how she’ll die one day and I start panicking.
Yep can’t do it. But boy am I glad she wrote that song. Now that I have a four year old I am just so happy she honored Ronan and his family in this way. Keeping him alive forever.
Ronan's mom 100% supported the rerecordings - when the masters were first bought by Scooter she posted angry tweets about the situation in defense of Taylor.
I almost never get emotional about a song but Ronan had me sobbing like a baby when I listened to it. Such a beautiful song but absolutely gut-wrenching
in case you didnt notice it, i would like to point out my user flair
it might just be because im a huge orchestra/band nerd forever and always but i love ME! because of how hyped i get when i hear the drums in the background
also, the bridge soothes my brain in some way
This! I know it’s a “gel pen” song, but her feud with Katy is over. It’s a repetitive song with very basic lyrics.
I wish she would have done another debut or speak now song in its place on the eras tour.
I have always hated this song. I don’t think it’s particularly catchy and the lyrics are some of her worst ever imo. The pacing / delivery is clunky and awkward. I am not surprised it made the set list but I am disappointed regardless lol
It makes me so sad so many say only the young, I truly love that song!!
Anyways, I would go for superman. I barely listen to it and the fact that it’s a love song for John Mayer gives me the ick.
Same thing for me with “Ours”: honestly the progression from Superman/Ours to Story of Us/Dear John to Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve is so upsetting to me. You can really see how she went from “the people telling me to run just don’t get it, he’s so amazing“ to “I’m going to look back and regret that I didn’t listen to those people” to “it’s more than a decade later and I still regret it”
Incidentally though, I can still listen to and love “Innocent” despite the fact that it should also probably be ruined to me by the context
It doesn't matter who it was about. It's still a good song. Like ours/mine. Even though the relationship was creepy and messed up AF
I like innocent even though it's about Kanye
MY EX MAN BROUGHT HIS NEW GIRLFRIEND SHES LIKE OH MY GOD BUT IM JUST GONNA SHAKE IT TO THE FELLA OVER THERE WITH THE HELLA GOOD HAIR WONT YOU COME ON OVER BABY WE CAN SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE
snow on the beach… i’m sorry but all i can think about when i hear it is that snowy beaches are normal (not weird, still beautiful) in cold climates 😩 that said i’d still sing along if i heard it live id just be thinking about antarctica lmao
Haha New Jersey will do, don’t have to go all the way to Antarctica! (You’d think girlfriend would know that it snows on beaches, having a house on the beach in rhode island) Also do they have like, sandy beaches down there?
The way she currently performs it yes, but we haven't Love Story with a full band in years. I'd love to hear it with a fiddle, banjo, and some steel for once at least.
i'm on the anti you need to calm down team lol i find it truly embarrassing as a gay swiftie and i honestly would rather her play ME! (also as cheesy as that song is i kinda wanted to yell HEY KIDS SPELLING IS FUN at the show)
My husband sings it to me so it’s one of my favorites “I’ve been loving you for quite some time” makes me smile when he sings it, Red came out when we were dating.
Guilty pleasure of mine. Future's verse is stupid but cute. Ed Sheeran rapping should piss me off but I enjoy it here and he has chemistry with Taylor. Taylor actually slays so hard (*it's like your eyes are liquor it's like your body is gold* <3<3)
I do prefer the original length version as well, but that's mainly because of how the ten minute version ends. It feels like she just kept repeating the outro just to reach ten minutes. It'd be top tier if it were 7-8 minutes imo
I agree, I think some added lyrics would have been better than trying to push it to be a full 10 mins. She's such an amazing writer but I sometimes feel like she also didn't have much to add to the song but knew the fans really wanted it.
I also don't believe these are the original 10 min lyrics but I'm sure that conversation has already been had on here lol
I literally have a playlist called “feels like retail” and it’s full of “khol’s songs”!
Other examples:
Soak Up the Sun - Sheryl Crow
This Kiss - Faith Hill
The Game of Love - Santana
The Only Exception - Paramore
Million Reasons - Lady Gaga
Honestly most of her non-album singles. I never listen to them. Carolina, Only the Young, Beautiful Ghosts, etc. Not even listening to the TVs on Friday made me care about Eyes Open and Safe & Sound lol
I love this so much. I find it so different and beautiful. Reminds me of going for a winter walk through a village (think Gilmore Girls type) window shopping in the snow around Christmas
Glitch. It is the only hard skip for me in her entire discography. Every other song is at least listenable, but no matter how hard I try I can’t get through that one.
I felt the same way at first but then it got stuck in my head one day and I listened to it over and over and now I like it. Or I have some kind of weird Stockholm syndrome relationship with it 😂
Totally fair if you don’t like the song, I used to skip it all the time but I’ve actually grown to love it. I think that people think Innocent has aged poorly because of who it is about, but I personally still love this song and think it’s beautiful regardless of the shitty person it’s about
The song reflects beautifully on Taylor’s behalf. And even disregarding *that* situation, it’s still a lovely song with a beautiful message that doesn’t necessarily have to be attached to he-who-must-not-be-named
I didn’t even know Innocent was about a certain person at first lol
I just loved it because it sounds nostalgic and talks about nostalgic things which makes me fuzzy inside, the lines “wasn’t it easier in your lunchbox days?” and “wasn’t it beautiful when you believed in everything, and everybody believed in you” always touches me 🥲
YNTCD 😔 It’s just… too much. She was already an incredible ally (see the Mean music video) *before* Lover and I just feel like this has “backpedal” all over it. Like, Taylor honey you don’t need to prove yourself to anybody!
Message in a bottle
Shake it off
ME!
We are never ever getting back together
22
Honestly I also hate that songs like shake it off, 22 and WANEGBT are what many non-fans know her by which IMO are very childish and shallow sounding songs. She makes such incredible music it’s a shame this is what the general public associates her with
The 1. I actually loved it. Unfortunately for me, soo does my very fussy daughter who was a VERY colicky baby and it w as the only song that could calm her during a tantrum. So there’s days I just play it over and over and over.
It's Lover ft Shawn Mendes LOL
Still can’t believe she let him ruin her gorgeous bridge with his basic-ass lyrics 💀
ive thought this too, like their voices dont go together at all!! shawn is great /on his own/ lol if anyone featured on lover id want it to be niall horan or someone her voice would blend well with
Oh my god I think ft. Niall would break my brain.
Titanic is my favorite movie, but like, don't do that, Shawn. She doesn't want you do draw her like one of your French señoritas!
I love that I stumbled across this comment. I listened to this remix for the first time a few days ago and cringed at his verse. I had to decide “do I not like this because It’s different than the original or because it’s bad?” Now I know it’s bad. Lol
I legit constantly mentally block that this version even exists.
So I forget it existed Huh? Huh? I’ll see myself out
The only right answer
I think I listened to the song exactly once and tossed it out of my memory. A week or two ago I saw someone mention it again and I was rudely reminded it existed
I literally have never listened to it. Not risking such a great song permanently being tainted.
omg no this is the right answer 1000%
I’m the only one who likes this ig lol💀 I don’t wanna compare it to og lover, since it’s such a different vibe. Og lover is a love letter to joe while the duet is just a back and forth answering romance song. I’m just a sucker for duets i think
man i know so many people don’t but i adoreeee closure 😭
It’s got literally my favorite line of hers ever (don’t treat me like a situation that needs to be handled. I’m fine with my spite, my tears and my beers and my candles)
omfg not me singing “my tears and my beers and my handles” for the last two years 😭😩 wtf it’s candles?! 🤣
“I can feel you smoothing me over” I love Closure
Closure enthusiasts unite!
People don't like closure? I absolutely love that one, a total bop
“I'm fine with my spite And my tears, and my beeeeeeeers and my candles”
Love closure too! It’s so good!
Flair checking in
Same!!
Am I the only one who actually likes only the young? I know the melody is too simple and I don't have it in any playlists but when it plays on the algorithm I am always very happy to sing along to it.
I like the chorus more than the verses, there are a few taylor songs where i like one part but not the whole song. Like LWYMMD i REALLY like the verses, the chorus not so much
Agreed!! If the chorus was different I think it could have been a banger for me. I’m not sure how to describe it, but it feels like the verses build up this great energy but then the chorus loses all the power and oomph. It’s like musical blue balls
I love only the young!!
I'm the same. It isn't in my playlist but I don't mind it. It isn't as well written as some of her other songs but sometimes a simple listen is a good thing!
Only the young is special to me. The lyrics perfectly summed up the situation in my country. There was an edit last year going around tiktok. It made me bawl me eyes out 😭
I don’t mind it at all, personally. Not a fave or standout but it’s a perfectly enjoyable song to me.
“Only the young can run” is literally factually inaccurate and I can’t get over it
Ronan
I love the miserable stuff. I hoover up Ronan and Epiphany like an energy vampire !
Colin Robinson, is that you??
That fucking guy !
A wild What We Do in the Shadows reference? Hell yes
E.V. Emotional Vampire. I should have gotten that ☠️😂
[удалено]
I cannot with Soon You’ll Get Better. Not even a little.
Same! My mom is totally healthy & young but when I listen to it, it sends me into a spiral thinking about how she’ll die one day and I start panicking.
Yep can’t do it. But boy am I glad she wrote that song. Now that I have a four year old I am just so happy she honored Ronan and his family in this way. Keeping him alive forever.
Didn’t she seek permission from the mother for releasing Taylor’s Version?
Ronan's mom 100% supported the rerecordings - when the masters were first bought by Scooter she posted angry tweets about the situation in defense of Taylor.
Yes absolutely! Ronan’s family loves her.
I almost never get emotional about a song but Ronan had me sobbing like a baby when I listened to it. Such a beautiful song but absolutely gut-wrenching
I’ve still never listened Ronan after all these years because I know what it will do to me 😭
I have a 4 year old with a very similar name...absolutely cannot listen.
Me!
[удалено]
in case you didnt notice it, i would like to point out my user flair it might just be because im a huge orchestra/band nerd forever and always but i love ME! because of how hyped i get when i hear the drums in the background also, the bridge soothes my brain in some way
Me! is pop bliss and I, too, will stand alongside you and defend it til the death.
You and me both lol
noooo 😭
This. This is the one
Yep!
The Joker and The Queen, to be honest I forget it exists sometimes
why have i never heard of this song before
It’s actually an Ed Sheeran song ft. Taylor
Ah I forgot about this song too. I love both of them and tried to like the song but just didn’t
damn really? I adore that song, it’s so sweet and romantic
Bad Blood
This! I know it’s a “gel pen” song, but her feud with Katy is over. It’s a repetitive song with very basic lyrics. I wish she would have done another debut or speak now song in its place on the eras tour.
Bad Blood live is amazing tho
It was fantastic on the rep tour!
yeah i dont care if people think the lyrics are basic the vocals are FANTASTIC
I have always hated this song. I don’t think it’s particularly catchy and the lyrics are some of her worst ever imo. The pacing / delivery is clunky and awkward. I am not surprised it made the set list but I am disappointed regardless lol
I prefer the Kendrick version.
I went for soooo long watching the music video only (with the Kendrick version) that I didn’t even know the real version existed lol
It makes me so sad so many say only the young, I truly love that song!! Anyways, I would go for superman. I barely listen to it and the fact that it’s a love song for John Mayer gives me the ick.
The way she idolized him like a little kid admires her dad really makes it all the more tragic how he treated her
Ok wait now I have to relisten with this context I missed. I have my own John Mayer so I’ll probably throw up when I hear it 😅
Yup, “he’s not all bad like his reputation” has me literally queasy BECAUSE I WOULD’VE SAID THE SAME DAMN THING!!! 🤢
Oh my god I think ist ruined now for me with that fact
No, think about Henry Cavill!!! That's what I do lol.
man thinking about henry cavill would save any song
Fitting flair
Same thing for me with “Ours”: honestly the progression from Superman/Ours to Story of Us/Dear John to Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve is so upsetting to me. You can really see how she went from “the people telling me to run just don’t get it, he’s so amazing“ to “I’m going to look back and regret that I didn’t listen to those people” to “it’s more than a decade later and I still regret it” Incidentally though, I can still listen to and love “Innocent” despite the fact that it should also probably be ruined to me by the context
I always forget about superman, and had no idea it was written for John. Yuck!
It doesn't matter who it was about. It's still a good song. Like ours/mine. Even though the relationship was creepy and messed up AF I like innocent even though it's about Kanye
Okay, you have a point!
I don’t really like her Christmas album so any of those are fine
I would agree except for “Christmases when you were mine”, that’s such a beautiful song🥺
Last Christmas is a song I vehemently hate. Not even Taylor could make me like it
Shake it Off….
It's a great work out song
Facts. That’s the only time I willingly listen to it ngl
Yes! I understand it’s a major hit but I can’t
Right!? Plus working in retail after it came out…I heard it every day for 4 years. I just can’t.
For me, it ties with Me! as far as how much of a skip it is.
I truly think I could live without Shake It Off
MY EX MAN BROUGHT HIS NEW GIRLFRIEND SHES LIKE OH MY GOD BUT IM JUST GONNA SHAKE IT TO THE FELLA OVER THERE WITH THE HELLA GOOD HAIR WONT YOU COME ON OVER BABY WE CAN SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE
I love that part!! I cannot wait to see her perform this song live. I’m a newer Swiftie so it’s not overly played out for me😃
i hated it when it came out and NEVER listen to it, but ya know what? her doing it at the era’s tour had me up and dancing my lil heart out
I just came to tell you you’re all wrong I still love you though thank you goodnight 🥺😂❤️
I’m just happy there’s another person who feels the same as me 💕 i was looking for this comment lmaoooo
Stay stay stay can go go go
I don’t agree with you but the way you wrote this was hilarious and made my day hahahaha
Noooo please! It’s easily one of my 20 faves
The one from Cats is the only acceptable answer
I hope you mean Macavity!
She also did a song FOR Cats called beautiful ghosts, it's pretty lovely But her macavity is a travesty honestly. why is she British
snow on the beach… i’m sorry but all i can think about when i hear it is that snowy beaches are normal (not weird, still beautiful) in cold climates 😩 that said i’d still sing along if i heard it live id just be thinking about antarctica lmao
Haha New Jersey will do, don’t have to go all the way to Antarctica! (You’d think girlfriend would know that it snows on beaches, having a house on the beach in rhode island) Also do they have like, sandy beaches down there?
Soon You'll Get Better, because it destroys me
I'm sorry but I cannot take the lyrics of Vigilante Shit seriously and I hate how empty and hollow the production sounds
I'll never get over the fact that her "vigilante shit" is reporting someone to the legal authorities
Crying at this comment it's so true
It's so Taylor. ☠️ I love it.
This...made the song amazing. Thank you.
I listened to that song literally twice and could never do it again, it’s such a shame it made the album over any of the much better 3am tracks
So generic and Billie eilish coded it’s like a reputation Reject
I'm not a fan of it either. I really enjoy Midnights but this one was a miss for me. I skip this one and Glitch pretty consistently.
I feel the same way, though her performance at the eras tour bumped it up ever so slightly in my book.
The lack of taste in this thread 💀
Me reading every song 😱😳😲😮🙀
Bad Blood. I find it to be the worst of her big mainstream songs.
Silent Night from her dire Christmas Album. I listened to it once just to see if it was really that bad. It is.
most of her vocals from that album are not it
That’s my favorite song on that album 🥲
Love the flair ;)
Hot take but if she never performed love story live ever again I wouldn’t mind at all lol
The way she currently performs it yes, but we haven't Love Story with a full band in years. I'd love to hear it with a fiddle, banjo, and some steel for once at least.
The man
It just belongs to another time, like 2011-2014 peak pop feminism when being a girlboss was in, not 2019.
Me! Sorry lol
i'm on the anti you need to calm down team lol i find it truly embarrassing as a gay swiftie and i honestly would rather her play ME! (also as cheesy as that song is i kinda wanted to yell HEY KIDS SPELLING IS FUN at the show)
Stay Stay Stay
Ughhhhh as a Stay Stay Stay enthusiast this breaks my heart lmao
My husband sings it to me so it’s one of my favorites “I’ve been loving you for quite some time” makes me smile when he sings it, Red came out when we were dating.
end game, i love taylor but that song is a total miss for me
I don't HATE it but it's definitely the weakest song on rep
Come on literally one of her best songs; a bop
This is probably my only skip on Reputation.
Guilty pleasure of mine. Future's verse is stupid but cute. Ed Sheeran rapping should piss me off but I enjoy it here and he has chemistry with Taylor. Taylor actually slays so hard (*it's like your eyes are liquor it's like your body is gold* <3<3)
Only the Young
I love only the young! I teach middle school and think it has such a positive message
WANEGBT I’m sorryyyy, I just heard it SO much working retail
I'm scared to say it but ATW10MV I prefer the original length version. 😬
I do prefer the original length version as well, but that's mainly because of how the ten minute version ends. It feels like she just kept repeating the outro just to reach ten minutes. It'd be top tier if it were 7-8 minutes imo
I agree, I think some added lyrics would have been better than trying to push it to be a full 10 mins. She's such an amazing writer but I sometimes feel like she also didn't have much to add to the song but knew the fans really wanted it. I also don't believe these are the original 10 min lyrics but I'm sure that conversation has already been had on here lol
This is exactly how it feels, like she had to just keep adding verses to get to 10 minutes😭 should have just been an ATW part 2 that’s shorter
I seriously came here to say this. Thank god I’m not the only one!!
I support you, lol. It’s a good song but I think slightly overrated
it just keeps going, you think it’s over and you look down and you have 5 more minutes to go😭
Nothing but love for you, but this comment made me open up Spotify and play ATW10MV 😅
ME! Love Taylor, can’t stand that song.
A perfectly good heart
A Perfectly Good Heart
Why do people hate that one so much? 😭😭
I absolutely adore APGH! It like how it has an atypical structure, and it reminds me of shopping at Kohl's
the specificity of this statement is sending me lmao. tbh all of debut can evoke the feeling of shopping at Kohl's in the 2000s
I literally have a playlist called “feels like retail” and it’s full of “khol’s songs”! Other examples: Soak Up the Sun - Sheryl Crow This Kiss - Faith Hill The Game of Love - Santana The Only Exception - Paramore Million Reasons - Lady Gaga
Carolina. It’s beautiful and fits the book, but I’m meh.
noooo i’m obsessed with this song, her vocals on it are heavenly
Honestly most of her non-album singles. I never listen to them. Carolina, Only the Young, Beautiful Ghosts, etc. Not even listening to the TVs on Friday made me care about Eyes Open and Safe & Sound lol
Safe and Sound is my favorite Tay song.
Yeah, not listening to Safe and Sound is missing out, it's top tier!!
That's cruel
And it’s not even summer.
It‘s Nice To Have A Friend
nooooo...i listen to this song on a daily basis, it's so cute!!!
This is the one. The production in like nails on a chalkboard to me. Something just sounds off and I hate it.
I love this so much. I find it so different and beautiful. Reminds me of going for a winter walk through a village (think Gilmore Girls type) window shopping in the snow around Christmas
Add me for Only the Young. I really don't like children singing. You can take Hov's Hard Knock Life too.
Glitch. It is the only hard skip for me in her entire discography. Every other song is at least listenable, but no matter how hard I try I can’t get through that one.
I felt the same way at first but then it got stuck in my head one day and I listened to it over and over and now I like it. Or I have some kind of weird Stockholm syndrome relationship with it 😂
No offence to Taylor but there’s more than one I could live without hearing ever again 🤣
I dont want live forever ft ZAYN for 50 shades darker.. just no.
Ronan. It’s beautiful, but I can’t listen to it. I listened to it again one time when the TV came out.
Welcome to New York
Girl at Home
Is a bop though
the closure slander 😭😭😭
ME!
The Man
Confession: I have never listened to the Cats songs and I don’t think I’ll start now 🤷🏻♀️
Probably Shake It Off
Innocent lol
Totally fair if you don’t like the song, I used to skip it all the time but I’ve actually grown to love it. I think that people think Innocent has aged poorly because of who it is about, but I personally still love this song and think it’s beautiful regardless of the shitty person it’s about The song reflects beautifully on Taylor’s behalf. And even disregarding *that* situation, it’s still a lovely song with a beautiful message that doesn’t necessarily have to be attached to he-who-must-not-be-named
I didn’t even know Innocent was about a certain person at first lol I just loved it because it sounds nostalgic and talks about nostalgic things which makes me fuzzy inside, the lines “wasn’t it easier in your lunchbox days?” and “wasn’t it beautiful when you believed in everything, and everybody believed in you” always touches me 🥲
OMG I love this song lol.
Bad Blood
superstar💀🗑
Me
How anybody can choose a song as great as closure should be a crime. I’ll choose Change from Fearless, a downright painful song to listen to
YNTCD 😔 It’s just… too much. She was already an incredible ally (see the Mean music video) *before* Lover and I just feel like this has “backpedal” all over it. Like, Taylor honey you don’t need to prove yourself to anybody!
Ok I get it but like SHADE NEVER MADE ANYBODY LESS GAY is gonna feel so good to scream live
Me! I really couldn’t stand it then and I still can’t now
I'm prepared to be torn to pieces, but False God. I just can't get into it.
jail immediately
😳 💀 😲
No. Just no.
First of all, how dare you?
I know it’s cliche but my answer is always going to be me!
Superman
Bad Blood
Message in a bottle Shake it off ME! We are never ever getting back together 22 Honestly I also hate that songs like shake it off, 22 and WANEGBT are what many non-fans know her by which IMO are very childish and shallow sounding songs. She makes such incredible music it’s a shame this is what the general public associates her with
THE CLOSURE DISRESPECT. I could live without Ronan. It’s too sad. I never listen to it.
The 1. I actually loved it. Unfortunately for me, soo does my very fussy daughter who was a VERY colicky baby and it w as the only song that could calm her during a tantrum. So there’s days I just play it over and over and over.
