I disagree. People didn’t like rep bc it was the complete opposite of what she promised, and she started the lover era with me! and it was also very poorly received. I think if showgirl came after lover, people would’ve been like “yea, she’s done with making good music”. Obviously art subjective but a third “meh” album in a row would not make it seem better
My thing is people that don’t like this album have typically placed Taylor in a box of not being able to have certain lyrics. Like they’re okay with Sabrina singing Tears and Chappell singing all that she does, but once Taylor dives into that world, it’s game over. Just interesting imo. Not saying you’re doing that, just seems to be the trend this go around.
