BPG 2019 - THE END

[GimmeWork]

At the risk of getting dragged, does it really matter what her intentions are if she still ends up donating to these causes?
But I also don't think she deserves the skepticism or questioning of her sincerity because at the end of the day she still did it, regardless of whether she was late to the party in supporting these causes or not. I guess to me, it should just...be.

Being able to appreciate both the good it does and question her motives is the nuance that I think is actually important sometimes. There's no shortage of queer pandering PR stunts in the entertainment industry in general and certainly no shortage in You Need To Calm Down's rollout(lyrics,video,donation/activism timing), so questioning sincerity, activism-for-the-moment..etc is the best way to detect true allyship, which I think is very important. I'm not calling her a homophobic monster, as I said, I don't doubt her intentions are anything but good. However a healthy dosage of skepticism until one has proven their allyship is essential. Look this has already been discussed to death so I'm not trying to engage here (which is why I didn't initially quote you) and others have put this far more eloquently so while I may not be able to stop questioning her activism and let it "just...be" I can with this conversation.

This is amazing.

This is amazing.

The gif was originally like 4x as long and then Photoshop fucking crashed while I was saving it, like how my 2003 PC desktop used to do when it was displaying images akin to that cover art @RJF made, and only that much was recovered and I was like....well they're gonna get what they're gonna get.

I CALLED IT A 2003 ANGELFIRE MESS IN A SELF-DEPRECATING PM WITH YOU LAST NIGHT DON'T DO THIS TO ME!!!!!!!

 

[GimmeWork]

I Think He Knows is as good as those songs from Dedicated that Carly never performs live. Make of that what you will.

Carly has performed 13 of the15 songs from Dedicated on the tour ....ddd. The Sound and Automatically In Love are the only two not performed..and neither are the best or worse songs from the album... so if you're trying to say "I Think He Knows" is middle-of-the-road for you... this is a really weird way to put it.

[Subwaykid]

Some of the Billie ballads could’ve gone before this c’mon.

 

[myblood]

Aw, I Think He Knows is a medium sized bop. The production sounded kinda muted at first, it... still kinda does but it grew a lot on me.

 

[Cutlery]

All of the Billie ballads are stellar

 

[Verandi]

Why'd You Come Around Me With Boobens Like That?

Ugh an 11.

The fact that you’re recycling this joke from a text you sent me

When you can't see the mom at the end of this gif and realise she's under the wheels

 

[GimmeWork]

Welp! Only gave four 10's to Taylor and just lost two of them...¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Y'all really think "It's Nice To Have a Bore" is better than these?!

For some reason the title of this had me expecting a reflective song about cheating on a boyfriend and knowing that you didn't get away with it, but as if Taylor would go there. Instead we got this bouncy little number serving 'How You Get the Girl' teas. I like the chorus of this one, and that revved-up pre chorus is fun too, but the verses plod a bit and the lyrics ain't all that. As is the case on almost this entire record, Taylor has done it in the past, but better. Honestly sis, take like three SOLID years off and spend them doing more than just staring at Joe while he sleeps, and I think it will serve you a world of good creatively.


​

I feel like Taylor definitely doesn’t deserve any more cuts for a while cause the rest of the album is brilliant
