    The Kim/Kanye stuff clearly had an extreme impact on all aspects of her life, for a long time, in ways none of us will ever understand. I think this song is showing that she's come to peace with what happened and how it since shaped her as a human. She's absolutely warranted to make even more songs or albums about it, artists write about their lives and this was one of the most impactful things that happened in hers

    North probably has the song playing on repeat through the speakers in their mansion already

    The grand theft auto line is great. Does nobody have a sense of humor anymore?

    According to Jack, Olivia’s team approached them first. I guess they could have said no, though.

    I feel like this is kind of her whole thing though. She's taking her wildly unrelatable life and breaking it down to the entirely normal emotions that she feels. No, I can't relate to getting on stage at football stadiums around the world while I'm going through a break up, but I can relate to having to fake a smile when I really don't want to. I take that song less as her saying she has it harder than anyone else, and more as saying "see even I have to do this, you're not alone"

    To bring it back to this album a bit, the ending of Clara Bow is clearly about Olivia. "The future is dazzling." So it could be something she's trying to fix.

    I honestly believe something happened *beyond* the credit that we don’t know about

    Oh yeah, the stans are convinced that Olivia was given “media training” to stop talking about Taylor so much. That is not what media training is!

    Probably, but that is just so, so fucking stupid, and any songwriter with any scruples at all would admit that they've had similar impulses about a hundred bajillion times when writing songs. You hear something that excites you, and you want to make your version. Doesn't mean it's plagiarism, and Taylor of all people should know that. Arguably her greatest diss track is basically built off the idea of "What if this song dragging John Mayer sounded like a John Mayer song?"

    Olivia did say in an interview “I wanted the bridge to sound like Cruel Summer” which is probably what screwed her

    I think the lyric is perfectly fine :shrug: There's a lot clunkier stuff on here, haha. Anyway, I like some stuff from the second half, but I think the original half is stronger. I still think this album is pretty good - better than Midnights, and better than a lot of the discourse suggests.

    The Black Dog has a TSL reference and I immediately had a smile on my face. From what I heard, it’s pretty great and has bits from every album. Cheers!

    "Evermore (Live in Cincinnati)" is one of her single best vocal performances ever. Dare I say the song would've been better without Bon Iver?

    I have I Can Fix Him stuck in my head now because Tik Tok showed me like four videos of that hook over different montages of Matty Healy dancing

    I’m going to a Taylor Swift night tonight that was actually planned before the album announcement. I’m intrigued to see how they weave in the new album. My brother thinks they’re going to play it front to back.

    "I Can Do It With A Broken Heart" is such a phenomenal song. The production is fucking insane, the Bleachers-esque background dialouge stuff is very cool. The "1, 2, 3, 4" is my favorite little detail so far. The way the song shifts and builds, how she sings over the different parts, it all comes together perfectly
