Taylor Swift dropping Bon Iver folk album tonight

the under-arranged personal indie album is what she should have done after 1989, to really shock people. feels convenient now.

Who is someone who she wold realistically work with, but is too controversial to touch?

Ryan Adams I guess

reputation is the closest thing to a proper concept album we had in maybe decades. i didnt care at all about it, mainly because the first and the second single really put me off and got me thinkimg what the hell is she trying to accomplish releasing those songs as lead singles (not to mention i listened to them on a pair of crappy earphones). this made me skip this record almost entirely and every now and then when i tuned into it i was equally puzzled as to why did she release this set of tracks

but then i stumbled upon Dont Blame Me followed by Delicate and it got me thinking that there must be more to this record than it initially met my eye. it all quite fell into place when i read one article. reputation is, more or less, a tale told by Taylor Swift-The Character that public eye created and brought to life. one might argue that she already made a song which features this role (Blank Space), but it was just a one-off single. reputation follows the story of this character from back to back

the songs and lyrics still stink.

the supposed uninventivness of Look What You Made Me Do, the first single, actually explains itself right away in its title. look what you made me do, this character declares
...Ready For It opens up the album with a verse that feels rather repulsive, right before totally switching up to a tropical house beat in the prechorus (in the middle of the night..). this wild rollercoaster might seem as totally disorganised and all over the place if tou take out the fable and the lyrics out of context. it is supposed to start off in such a rushed way (note the throat clearing sounds right before the verse). the opener serves as an ouverture of a sort, introducing the listener to the world of the main character. the prechorus beat switch makes perfect sense when seen through this lens. again, this whole album is basically music drama, so the lyrics and the story they tell always drive the direction in which the music will go, never the other way around
when you listen to reputation back to back knowing you are about to hear a fictional tale about a fictional character, you are presented with an immersive piece of art, full of emotional turmoil
i must admit, this tight structure loosens up a bit near the back end of it, but it partially makes up for it by closing off the whole thing in the best way possible with New Year's Day. The character's plot is (mainly) resolved and it learns it's lessons from the whole story (at least in it's eyes). the end. truly fantastic

only time and generations to come will get to see the masterpiece this album is

this is the article in question

wow, she stole my idea to make a neofolk album

cardi b?

even if that were true it still sucks. concept albums are not inherently good

Definitely. Several years ago there was an interview they did together where they mentioned having written things together.

why would she though. he's cancelled, and always sucked anyway.

It was every white critic’s idea for her.

She gave us a sneak preview of this years ago when she did “Safe and Sound” with The Civil Wars, who proceeded to divorce and break up

still make one, we need more neofolk

Kanye West

I love his music and his cancellation was one of the vaguer ones where he was only guilty of grooming and emotional manipulation like literally every man and woman who ever lived is.

nope, this is white people sitting in coffeehouses music

Are you trying to say that white people sitting in a coffee shop are not listening to kanye or cardi b?

They may be on their headphones, but the speakers in starbucks are playing more sophisticated, softer stuff.

Is it a coincidence that she is dropping an album at the same time Kanye is allegedly dropping his?

obviously not
