Taylor is NEVER BASIC. She is a songwriting genius period.
It was so beyond ruuuude right 🙃
Omg I’m so glad I found your channel! Immediately subscribed!
Btw, Taylor said that Aaron sent her the music track and once she heard the ominous piano she immediately thought of female rage, that’s probably why there’s not a huge choir or sth… they wanted to be like someone boiling quietly in their anger
This song is about gaslighting. And the the man she is singing to here is Scooter Braun, a man who has bullied her for her entire career and with the help of his clients (Kanye, Bieber, Levato) tried to destroy her career. She has never worked with him and that is why he has been trying to destroy her and he then bought her work from under her in order to force her to work with him.. So she decided to re record her music and it was genius. His wife actually did divorce him after she found out. Her song Vigilante shit is also about him.
Thanks for the added details! ~Liam
Thank you...
I hope she continues. Never seen someone start a taylor swift rabbit hole with mad woman, but I've always appreciated people tailoring the journey based on what you think the other person will enjoy the most instead of the path of songs they like the most
There is a ton of pressure choosing the first song! I ended up going with it because of the low vocal range, lyrics, and the beautiful instrumentation. More to come! ~Liam
Love Liam emoting along lolololol
Insight: Taylor wanted this to be a slow-burn song about female rage. She has really developed into a very strong alto in the last few years, but she did say somewhere that she wanted this specific vocal to come across as brittle and abrasive.
Most important background: she got hideously toxic feedback from the media when she reported a sexual assault that happened to her on camera.
She also got really gaslighting feedback from the media when she called out her old record label and a skeezy music mogul for basically buying and selling the Masters of her back catalogue of music out from under her even though she had been trying to purchase them for years.
She commented about this song that women have always been expected to just absorb bad behaviour from men. And that when they do dare to say "no, this isn't ok", society treats that act of resistance as more serious than the offense committed against the woman in the first place.
As you rightly pointed out, the repetition was purposeful in these lyrics. But as Liam pointed out as well, she very seldomly keeps the wording of choruses consistent in most of her non-radio hit songs (which is the bulk of her catalogue).
And I'm not sure what Liam is talking about... She's written a ton more than 200 songs 😬
Really appreciate the info and your replies, thank you! Yeah, the lyrics in this song are deeply personal to her, and that's part of what makes them so powerful. ~Liam
A man can react, a woman can only overreact. One of my favourite quotes of hers.
It was too funny watching a dude sing along to this song.
Basic is an… interesting…. way to describe this-
Her low vocals are just as great.
the attitude while singing along is so real😭
I suggest to show Mika the Song "Don't blame me" live from Reputation Tour. Imo the Version from Swift Leaks 2.0 is the best. I think you will enjoy it.
Wow, what an incredible performance! Good choice, I will show her this for sure, as long as it doesn't give us a copyright strike. ~Liam
Really hope you continue Mika. As a 49 year old guy who loves all music including music it sounds like you like, I really think you'll find alot more that you'll enjoy, even love, more than the ones you don't. Taylor is an incredible song writer that has far more songs that are amazing than the poppy ones you hear on the radio.😊🙏❤️ And anything from Reputation is a great place to start. Especially the live versions from the tour.
Mika, I think if you stick with her, it's really going to be the lyric writing that draws you in.
I'm not sure what other music you listen to other than metal, but she has worked with really amazing artists in the past like Bon Iver and The National.
She is doing a collaboration with my favourite band for at least a decade now, Florence and the Machine, and the lead singer, Florence Welch, has said in the past that she has really been inspired by Swift's songwriting in the past.
Liam😭😭😭 you are sooooo into it😭 I’m not giving it enough attitude
maybe give her haunted to listen to? I'm not a metalhead, but i do love some rock or punk rock music and this is the song that really got me. no body, no crim and right where you left me are great lyrics song to also introduce someone to taylor
Great choices! ~Liam
Actually, she has written closer to 400 songs to date.😊
This wasn't the first song she swears in. Taylor was NEVER manufactured by the record label.
i think it was the first album she said fuck in😭
Come on now, yes she was.
She speaks quite extensively about this in both the Zane Lowe interview for Evermore and on the Miss Americana documentary.
She always had a lot of pressure to conform to a certain image. The fact that she got to her late 20s without feeling she could ever express a political (just basic human rights, the rest of us in the world would call it) opinion is really indicative of this.
I think you are right that she was far freer and more in control of her artistic and musical vision.
While I think many of the big radio hits were manufactured to some extent, she more than made up for it in the rest of her catalogue.
@emmavink SHE WAS NOT MANUFACTURED. She writes all her songs. It was her personality early on to not ruffle feathers in country music. Look what happened to the Dixie chick's. She said it was her own fault that she didn't speak out earlier, not MANUFACTURED by a record label. She wanted to be a good girl early on. Didn't matter what she did in her career. Either way, she gets hate. So, she might as well stay quiet in country music back then. So don't tell me people wrote songs for her. She wrote songs about her life at the time, and even her big radio hits always had a message. She puts her messages in her songs because she didn't talk about it. So go away.
@@Ricky48888 no, get over yourself. I never said her music was manufactured. The kind of radio hits (Glitter Pen songs) she writes she specifically wrote to be pop hits.
Her song Mastermind is her own confession that she is very aware of what she does. This isn't a bad thing. Other people say it's bad, but that is rubbish.
Her image before Lover was absolutely manufactured. She herself said so. She said she didn't speak out because that is how she was raised, but she's always supported the LGBTQ+ community in the past. She never promoted racist things in the past. She pushed back against media BS in a huge way in Reputation.
That scene in Miss Americana where she is explaining why she was going to Tweet that political statement was literally in front of her father (one of the BMR executives) and one of the other label people. So they obviously did have a big input into what she did it didn't say in public in the past.
Why would you try to take Taylor's moments of empowerment away from her? She's never been perfect and that makes her so much better of an artist and a human being.
Pretending she is and always has been perfect is toxic.
Stop promoting unrealistic nonsense.
I get what youre trying to say Mika, but like, almost every song nowadays has repetition, especially on the chorus. That's the normal thing, and even so, Taylor is one of the few artists I've listened to who ocasionally changes the chorus lyrics. Idk, I felt like some of the criticism was bit too much, like you're trying to fit the song in some pattern you like and not actually trying to enjoy it for what it is and absorb the message
My Tears Ricochet next please
