Maybe I'm an old fuddy-duddy, but I really dislike Taylor's overuse of the F word and other curses. I just find it to be such an unintelligent way to communicate.
I listened to snippets of the new songs from the first half of the anthology, and felt very meh about them. I prefer when she collaborates with Max Martin.

I fell hard for love story all those years ago, I was a swiftie before swifties were a thing. Took my little girl to red as her first concert, and then another one, then this summer she was all grown up and went to another country to see her eras
I loved folklore, adore blank Slate, and reputation was at a time I needed it.
My girl is in Sweden today and I hope she gets one from there just for the sake of it

This reminds me of Eminem's line from The Real Slim Shady: " 'Will Smith don't gotta cuss in his raps to sell records' Well I do So fuck him, and fuck you too" It's one of my favorites. Solid comeback. |

I'm not saying I want a Kids Bop version, but there are other ways to express oneself. |

Fuck is clearly one of the best words 🤣 We have a whole FUCK playlist Abcdefu Hot Girl Bummer IDGAF I just don’t really get it when people care about cussing (or when people use the word “curses” as a noun 🙄) |

But if she wants to, that's the fun of being her own boss and getting to the point of knowing you don't have to please everyone. Obviously you're not her target audience if that's how you feel. |

Clearly I am no longer her target audience. I've enjoyed a lot of her other music, but TTPD isn't for me. Edited to add: with this post, I've now reached "Pearl Clutcher" status, which I suppose is appropriate here. |

I'm by far not a Swiftie but I'm really liking her darker music. I heard AntiHero and had no clue that was her. I just liked the dark synth. I'm liking Fortnight quite a bit too but haven't listened to much more. She sounds a lot like Lana Del Rey on this song. What cracks me up is on Midnights she has Lana on a song and people complained because you "couldn't really hear Lana". Lana even responded and said something along the lines of "I can match vocals perfectly, I'm all over that song", so then TS turned around and released the same song but "Featuring More Lana". The video for Fornight was released last night: Fortnight (feat. Post Malone). The amount of easter egg is crazy, but the guest appearances towards the end were very fun if you're a fan of a little-known movie called "Dead Poets Society". |

She also sells "clean" versions of her albums, but it's totally fine not to like her newer stuff for her language. I usually listen to my playlist, so when I heard Karma in a store, I was like "what is this new lyric"?? |

tallgirl That looks so amazing!! Thank you for sharing. My "listening party" was solo at 3:45am while I played ACNH while my family slept. Yours is much cooler.

I have only listened twice, and I like it better the 2nd time. 1st listen I didn’t like all the cussing, and killing. It’s also very very wordy. It’s not a pop album. Now I don’t mind the words. I get it. She’s 34. Her music should change and grow with her. The swiftie moms arnt going to like it. It’s not for the pop princesses.

I’d bet DPS will have a huge surge of watchers in the short term. A boon for any platforms that have it streaming. I’ve never seen it.

Her music has always had cussing in it.
She drops Fuck multiple times during the eras tour.
Moms aren’t going to care now.

Her first few albums didn't cursing in them, especially given the way she talked about the original version of "All Too Well." I believe "Reputation" was the first album she dropped some curses in. www.eonline.com/news/1209695/taylor-swift-reveals-she-recorded-a-10-minute-version-of-all-too-well-with-f-bombLook, I get it, she's a grown up, and she can curse like a sailor. I just think the impact of curses lose something when they are dropped casually. |

I just feel like TS is trying to hard to be so edgy with all of the cursing, and that there are better ways to express herself. Like I said elsewhere, the F bomb loses its impact when you say it all that time. Haven't you ever met anyone who doesn't curse, and if they should let one fly, it makes you stop and listen to what has them so riled up? |

But then you're assuming there's only one definition of the word. I think one of the draws of using the word "fuck", is that has SO many uses and contexts. Don't put baby in a corner! |

I actually don’t remember if she cursed on tour, but I know there are clean versions out there and I know her mom has really pushed for her to keep things PG, due to her influence on young girls. |

She says fuck at least once in the Eras tour movie on Disney+ 🤷♀️ People have a hard time with artists who started as teens and didn’t swear maturing into adult artists with adult vocabularies. FWIW, “ swearing may be a sign of verbal superiority, studies have shown, and may provide other possible rewards as well. "The advantages of swearing are many," said Timothy Jay, professor emeritus of psychology at the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, who has studied swearing for more than 40 years.” amp.cnn.com/cnn/2021/01/26/health/swearing-benefits-wellness |

I don’t think anyone who swears thinks it’s “edgy.” It’s just words. It’s only people who get their panties in a bunch about swearing who would think of it that way. |
