This reminds me that I haven't heard Hits Different yet, I might be the only one at this point nn. I simply forgot
Taylor Swift - Midnights
- Thread starter Slice of Life
- Start date
You’re in for a treat! I actually think it’s within top 5 on the album. It’s sunny 2000s pop/rock meets 1989.
he/him
I’ve only heard clips nn and I even have the CD, ripping it was just too much effort.
'Hits Different' is easily top 3 of this era. I think she knows it too.
He/Him
Same, I'm kinda gagged I've managed this long without hearing it but the sheer hype behind it better be worth it.

I'm boo boo the fool, I still think the dirty nepo man-baby gets away with everything cause of music media's inability to criticize white men but at this point Taylor needs to put up or shut up. I need Ice Spice name checking and dragging Matty til he's nothing but dirt and bone dust with Taylor gleefully backing her up. She's proven time and again she struggles to understand perspectives beyond herself and especially ones where she is at fault, but this whole saga has put a weird cloud over her for me.
Yeah I find this collab calculated in a way that makes me uncomfortable. The way Matty Healy spoke about her was vile and it's gaining traction she can't not be aware of his shit
Nn yeah I'm pretty frustrated with the entire situation and I'm inching towards oversaturation so let me step back. Will not riding nor dying for this one.
I don’t want this to be construed as me defending Matty, because he can choke, but unless I’m mistaken it was the podcast host interviewing Matty who actually said the things that are being attributed to him? Matty laughed/did nothing to stop it which is still awful but there are plenty of things he’s actually said to drag him for rather than things that someone else said.
Also Ice Spice has been on Taylor’s pre-show playlist since March, and an insider hinted at their collab back in April, before Taylor and Matty had been publicly linked together. I doubt they recorded the collab (especially in time to have CDs made and a music video filmed/edited/etc) since that podcast has gone viral. I know that people love to assume the worst when Taylor is involved and the timing looks bad but this has been in the works for a long time.

I mean he's said plenty of OTHER shit which is also swirling around. Between that and discussion of her (lack of) speaking up about queer issues currently after all the hand wringing in Miss Americana...
I just don't feel exactly very 'yas let me give you my money miss girl boss capitalism' right now

She was also randomly at the moment in the introduction video for Taylor at the iHeartRadio awards, so this remix situation was planned and made before Matty. I agree that the timing sadly is not the best, but this was not done to make him look better.

I feel very uncomfortable about the Matty situation and I don’t know how to articulate my thoughts without being lumbered in with some of the more extreme Swifties…
I don’t judge Taylor for Matty’s actions but I wouldn’t want to date or even be friends with someone who has done/said the things he’s done.

The last time Taylor spoke up about political issues, she got dragged for being seen as insincere and forced. Now she's staying quiet, she's getting dragged again because....the guy she's dating said things? How exactly is that related to her? I'm not responsible for anything my partner says, neither is she. She's just continuing working away and continuing her tour.
Some people, especially certain Twitter Swifties, need to get a grip and perhaps focus on the politicians implementing some harmful legislation. Social media "outrage" does absolutely nothing.

Respectfully disagree here, the point of partnership or even friendship for that matter is to build one another up but also to hold each other accountable. If I said or did something out of pocket I would expect my partner to check me for it, and vice versa.
How do you know she hasn't?
...I'm not doing this.
