    I think the Katy Perry saga was about John Meyer as well. I also think John Meyer makes an appearance in Shake it Off as the 'My Ex Man' and that Harry Styles is the 'Fella over there, with the hella good hair'

    YES! YES! YES! I have been saying this for YEARS! So relieved to FINALLY hear a commentary that gets it! No way the feud between Swift and Perry was about back-up dancers. It was absolutely about John Mayer. Right when Mayer was getting hit with a lot of backlash for his playing the victim of Taylor's "Dear John"...he and Perry created a type of response to the backlash with "Love who you love" in which Perry struck right at Taylor with the line "some have said his heart is hard to hold" in almost direct reference to Taylor's "Dear John". That is absolutely what birthed "Bad Blood".
    Puh-lease as if drama over a back-up dancer is going to provoke a song and accompanying video like that of "Bad Blood". Nah. That was over a man.
    And I know you wish many bad voodoo curses on Mayer, but trust me when I say he's received them. Some truly interesting pop culture drama to dive into is his post break-up with Perry. The guy pretty much became celebate and pined for Perry (even stalkerishly so) for years in a strange sort of self-punishment as if lost Perry in bad karma for how he treated Swift.
    Perry crushed him. She practically made him impotent as he confessed to keeping her shampoo in the shower for when and if she'd ever return to him.

    Agree with mostly everything but especially the bit about her sometimes just needing to be quiet. I also apply this to her feminism.
    For someone so passionate and good with words, when it comes to things that truly don't affect her, Taylor just doesn't have the poise. I know she is sympathetic and wants to try help because she's a good person, but she's also lived a privileged life where for a long time she didn't feel the need to even consider these issues. The fact that she thought Bad Blood was okay during her "feminist awakening" era says it all.

      I have to say, I don’t agree with shipping Taylor and Karlie, she was a horrible person in Taylor’s life. However looking at the real proof (directly from her music) I am 99% convinced they had something going on. I don’t engage with Kaylor posts much and barely come across them but if you look for the proof it’s all there.
      Harassing Taylor into coming out will never be ok but it’s weird that a lot of the feedback Kaylors hear is “there’s no way it’s real” just because it’s two women when if this whole thing applied to one of Taylor’s guy friends they would 100% be convinced they had something and it would be ok to ship them.
      Some of them are very much delusional and that’s why I don’t fall into that rabbit hole cause it can get really disrespectful or just outright lying to connect the dots where there aren’t any.

    Unpopular opinion: The Man is not the feminist slay people think it is. I’d argue it’s more regressive than progressive. If she was a man, she’d be the worst kind of man? What kind of message is this? Also, she infamously doesn’t recognize intersectionality with her feminism. She’s also at the top of the pecking order in her industry, so it’s inauthentic of her to speak on the misogyny she faces and not the misogyny faced by the average woman, women of color, trans women, etc. As a “feminist”, her feminism is really just self interest. Taylor Swift already is the man.

    Love your take on ‘Kaylor’, that even if something did happen there, it’s rude af to pester Taylor to comment on it when she doesn’t want to- I’d never really thought about it that way. Fwiw I think she’s straight as an arrow.
    Also agree 100% that people should stop pressuring her to comment on nuanced or political topics that have nothing to do with her art. After listening to your 2014 podcasts, I really feel that she was damned however she approached the topic of feminism. She was dragged for being silent, when she did speak up her feminism was too white and liberal, but I’d wager if she tried to speak to broader feminism she’d have slammed for speaking about things she doesn’t understand.
    My unpopular opinion (that I certainly don’t share with Zach) is I’d love for her to have a kid, even if it reduces her output and we never see them. She strikes me as someone who always imagined herself being a mother since early interviews, and that’s a big dream for anyone to let go of. I’m a new Mum myself, so I’d genuinely love a song about her hypothetical baby.

    • @Im_Julissa
      @Im_Julissa 2 роки тому +8

      I would say Taylor would be an awesome mother but at the same time I feel like she's still not mature enough. She had great character, great intelligence and effort to raise a kid but I feel like there's the same dilemma of her being a parent as being a feminist. She's been living in a bubble for a major part of her life that she's unaware of the real issues people face raising a kid in a normal world when she's Taylor Swift.
      She not aware of the psychological perspective being raised in the spotlight can consider. She's not aware of the real damage living under a famous name can do to an infant. Her children will be living under the roof of what a non-famous life would be since they're accessed to everything they want and nothing they don't. Taylor herself has been sheltered for so long in her lifetime that she's just found hera grown-up version of herself in Folklore. They're never going to see above the surface because she's a beautiful, white, rich, lady whose always going to be super famous.

      Out of interest, and feel free to decline to answer this, but do you have any kids of your own? The only reason I ask is I feel like literally no one (famous or otherwise) ever feels truly, 100% ready to start having kids. All you can be is more (or less) prepared. There’s just never going to be a convenient time to completely change your life forever. If you’re waiting to be completely and utterly ready, you might be waiting a very long time.

    Also i literally agree with EVERYTHING you've said on here. also i wonder...if you think reputation is better than lover? part of me really feels that way, like they're my two least favorite albums as well (even while I still love them least favorite meaning like on the spectrum of taylor being my fave) but yeah i'm with you when i first heard lover it...was NOT the sound for me. I think it felt really generic for most of it. My 3 songs off the album that I would rescue if the house were to burn down would be "cornelia street," "death by a thousand cuts," "you'll get better soon." Also i am a New Years Day Stan but I think that's because for me the first half of reputation and the second half are separate thematically and plotwise and i am a fan of the second half.
    But overall yeah the folklore release was a really really really nice return to being able to stand behind the album as a whole which i feel like i hadn't been able to do since the 1989 era. (your 1989 skips and mine are the SAME also v.v. unpopular on my part but i will also add clean to that list....i KNOW i know but just the mixed-metaphors didn't work for me)

      I've always thought it was really disturbing to take people in real life or characters in media who have one sexual orientation and try to twist it to a different sexual orientation just to fit your fantasy of life. I think it's one of the reasons that so many people have a problem with the LGBT community. And I don't mean this hatefully. My father's homosexual. I've been down that road also. It's just if everyone stop trying to twist everything to being LGBT when it isn't the community would probably have more support.

      Anyone who has never seen one should try it especially the ones from a few months ago. It's concerning. I can't fathom their sane. They basically speak like they KNOW 100% because Harry & Zayn told them in a song that this & this happened. Horrifying but also hilarious. I watch them when I need a laugh.

    I was like yep, yep, tea, spill until you said daylight was a skip, it’s actually one of my favorites on lover along with Cornelia street and cruel summer. Also don’t slam me for this but I think taylor only talks about feminism and gay right for white people and excludes the struggles of poc, trans people, and people who aren’t financially secure and I wish she would advocate for everyone yk. And although scooter is a money hungry and horrible person, I think her calling him a bully was a horrible thing to do and she knew the fans would attack him and it does add to the white victim hood trope if that makes sense. All in all, I absolutely love taylor and she is one of the best if not the best lyricist of our generation and I hope that any haters will come to their senses soon :)

    I discovered your videos after Eras Tour in Phoenix, first watching your Eras playlist reaction. I really, really love all of your videos--watched at least half-a-dozen so far. Your incredible knowledge of Taylor and pop history, your wicked snarky humour, and your biting intellect are a true hoot, in the best way. I'm a 55-year-old, CisHet married white man in the Army. So my unpopular opinion is, I can be a Swiftie too! . . . I became a self-identifying Swiftie July 24th, 2020. I stayed up all night working in my garage jamming to Folklore--couldn't stop. But for pure visceral joy, I'll take Rep.

    Man, as a Lover hater from day one, I’m glad to have found my people. I swear that all of my friends loved this album so much, so I thought I was crazy?
    It took me years to even be able to fully listen to it (and I’ve been a fan since debut, lol). I had to literally FORCE myself to get through every track, and now I consider over half of the tracks to be skips lol
    I just hated that entire era. The aesthetics, the sound, the political grandstanding that went nowhere? Awful.
    Agreed about almost everything else btw! Especially Dear John. But I’m an Evermore stan (tho I agree about it’s time to go and closure).

Classic line to this elder Swiftie!

    I was upset to hear that you dislike King Of My Heart, I Know Places and Happiness but after a second I remembered we all fucking have a different taste, which is great thing, I understand you. and you're right, she doesn't have a skipless album. I think fans say it to express how much they love a certain album but i'm sure even they skip at least one song on their favorite albums. her weakest songs in my opinion are stay x3, ME!SS. YNTCD. False God (well, 95% of Lover is bad). fans are too sensitive to talk about stuff like these without attacking.

    Tbh reputation wasn't something she herself is proud of it was a tongue and cheek reply to media using whatever they say about her. I think it was genius not to do any interviews, the album was about media. Secondly, the rep tour was great in terms of performance and set design (come on we all love karyn). The album sold a million copy within a week so its safe to say it was very well known. All in all it was not a magnum opus it was ressurection. Because she HAD to say something about all this, be silent or own it, and she did own it. The only thing i would really want to change it would be bad blood and the video. Bullying is never the answer. Katy and taylor were friends and katy did break girlcode. But really a bad look

I didn’t listen to the rest of the album that year… actually I stopped listening to Taylor at all because I didn’t like these 2 songs very much. So I “missed” everything from lover (so basically I didn’t miss a thing hahahaha). And I only decided to listen to the whole Rep album this year… and well… I liked it a lot hahahaha.

    So… one of my most unpopular opinion is: I like reputation better than 1989 BUT I’m not saying Rep is better than 1989… I’m saying that I prefer it. I’m not a huge fan of pop music and 1989 was THE most “pop” album she’s ever done. The style and the production in Rep is so interesting and different (in my opinion). Maybe is the fact that many songs in 1989 were overplayed and I got sick of them hahahaha.

    Oh my gosh, literally agree with you about everything except You’re Not Sorry & Champagne Problems not being great songs! 😂 Everything else was spot on! Wish she was with Harry too but because she isn’t don’t care. Hate Lover. Love Dear John, it is superior to ATW. Lover & Reputation didn’t deserve Grammy nominations. Rep had some great bops like Getaway Car & I Did Something Bad but I truly think she should have embraced playing into her “ Reputation” at the time - those were the most iconic songs on the album. Also 100% agree about Kaylor- it’s a conspiracy theory that I don’t see any proof of. It’s projection at its finest. But, even if it were true (it isn’t) wtf would you out someone who obviously isn’t ready to come out? It’s really maddening.
