1989

Just not for me. Much prefer CRJ or Charli XSX and other pop artists.

Very poppy

I just don’t get the hype. There are far better pop artists out there, but for some reason Taylor is the one that gets the push. Whatever I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I will just continue to keep on keeping on.

Her voice is genuinely unpleasant to me. She gives these shrill belts that make me cringe and sound unskilled. The song structures and production sound incredibly generic. The lyrical content is basic and heavy handed. There’s not much redeeming here. I think she does have some better material than this.

There's nothing objectively "wrong" with it, but I think that's the problem. It's very sterile music. The lyrics are vapid at best. There's no soul to it. Every single note seems like it belongs in a collector's case...to be preserved rather than enjoyed. Like most pop music, it seems like these songs were composed to appeal to the masses and that does absolutely nothing for me. Stand out tracks: Style, Shake It Off

Obviously a lot of people love this but I do not.

ye made that bitch famous

I don’t think I’ll ever be in the mood for listening to this so I may as well get it over with. Bland bland boring yawn The only thing remotely interesting on it is Shake it Off. The whole thing sounds the same all the way through 1/5

Boo

I hated Taylor Swift because of so many stories telling she’s the worse person, so I was not listening to what she’s doing. And fuck, I did well, that’s all I hate in music, bad lyrics, high pitched voice and some bad electronics in the background. Pop is probably the genre that I enjoy the less but I can enjoy some Madonna or Britney. Taylor Swift is just impossible. Although I can understand that some people enjoy it

Not good

As Kanye West famously said "I made that bitch famous", just super basic pop music that is really shit.

This album/ artist does not deserve to be in this list. The songs are pure hot garbage. All the tracks sound like instrumentals made using a free trial of fruity loops and the lyrics delivered are cliche love references and completely meaningless. I pushed through the entire album but it wasn't enjoyable in the slightest.

🫥

this is not better than to pimp a butterfly. not even close. now thats a reference only the true music enthusiasts will get.

"Shake it Off" is great to play when your wet dog comes in from the rain. But the album on the whole is about as timeless and perseverant as 1989's horoscope. 🌌

Not a fan of Taylor Swift but did listen to this, good pop music but not my music I would go to. Shake it off was ok I suppose and the only thing I recognise.

There is nothing significant about this at all; it’s a cleverly manufactured money grab which somehow appeals to seemingly everyone on Planet Earth. Absolutely no variation in song length, lyrical theme, or musical technique which might make it interesting. The heavily autotuned singing and perfect production rips this album of all soul and human-ness, creating a product rather than a piece of art. The incredibly simple lyrics result in zero thought required to interpret what the song may be about and offers no chance at a thoughtful discussion. This is undeniably a boring experience. Thoughts and prayers go out to all those albums which are filled with talent and musicality and didn’t make the list because the writer of this book probably felt obliged to include a Taylor Swift album to lower the risk of getting attacked by Swifties.

I COULD NOT, WOULD NOT, ON A BOAT. I WILL NOT, WILL NOT, WITH A GOAT. I WILL NOT HEAR IT IN THE RAIN. NOT IN THE DARK! NOT IN A TREE! NOT IN A CAR! YOU LET ME BE! I DO NOT LIKE IT IN A BOX. I DO NOT LIKE IT WITH A FOX. I WILL NOT HEAR IT IN A HOUSE. I DO NOT LIKE IT WITH A MOUSE. I DO NOT LIKE IT HERE OR THERE. I DO NOT LIKE IT ANYWHERE! I DO NOT LIKE TSWIFTS OEUVRE!

TS sucks.

онееееет только нееее

It is shit, but also strangely uplifting in a way that makes you feel like you're being constantly lied to. I hate it.

Brauchte diese Liste wirklich 2 Taylor-Swift-Alben aus den letzten zehn Jahren? Noch dazu dieses? Schrott.

Nope.

This album is just really unoffensive music that doesnt really take risks at all, a call back to 80s music but without really the flavour. Imo its just a really boring album that is massly over produced for the charts. I cant really stand this album. Heck it aint even the good type of synth heavy 80s music, this just feels misplaced imo idk how it made it

Taylor Swift seems to be a pretty decent human, but this album...it's a no. Poetry that sounds like it was written by a lovelorn twelve year old... Lyrically simplistic, boring, trite; plus nothing of interest musically. Reliant on a really samey drum beat for every song, rather than melodies. Really generic. The kind of lyrics I can imagine a grumpy tweenager quoting on her MSN messenger id in the late nineties. Making an effort to sound profound. I get it, you wear red lipstick. Just not for me. Ugh I sound old!

I'm sorry, women. I thought I might end up appreciating her music a bit more, but this just solidified that I do not like Taylor Swift. I found this to be pretty boring and grating on the ears. I don't even have much to say about it. It just made me groan. I guess my favourite song was Black Space, but none of them were good, in my opinion.

Really not my style

Not a big fan very cheesy and not interesting, the drums are as bland as tofu, it’s all very boring and dosent have anything interesting musically, at least Taylor’s voice isn’t saturated with autotune and the vocals aren’t bad. In terms of lyrics it’s pretty awful, singing about poppy romance and being the bad girl ain’t very great. Listening to it makes me hate Taylor swift cause it’s just repetitive and lacks and value to me One isn’t a small enough number to accurately describe how bad this is Probably .5/10

Very commercialised pop music without any surface, it is simple music with simple lyrics. It isn't horrible in a way that it is completely unlistenable but this album is a good example why I can't stand commercial pop music from the past years.

No

Hell no. This is absolute noodles. Total bag of shite. Like being made to have sex with two tightly packed cheesegraters lubed up with pickled onion vinegar. Absolutely god awful.

Hindsight is 20/20, and I'm feeling that now that I look back on my 2-star rating of Swift's 'evermore' a while ago. Compared to this LP, 'evermore' is a Nobel Prize in Literature winning, 5-star work of genius and creativity. Repetitive choruses written at the schoolyard-chant level, bland instrumentals born straight out of a sterile DAW with no human hand, classic Max Martin production that sucks the air out of every ounce of soul or humanity left – the awful but understandable ingredients of an LP that dominated the airwaves and zeitgeist so thoroughly it hasn't quite been matched since. This lab-grown, genetically-engineered organism of an album has no other purpose but to seek and destroy entire blocks of radio play, to still dominate house-party and club playlists, to worm its way so thoroughly into your brain you can't help but tap along to the stupidly simple saxophone accents in 'Shake It Off.' There's not one entire genuine expression of artistic merit or flair on this thing; instead, it's a scientific study in how to combine the most dull and minimal of musical elements to maximize the fittingly named Big Machine Records and Swifts' bottom line. And before you accuse me of being a hater, please compare her debut (that forgotten country relic which features Swift playing a real instrument and swinging above her weight with some pretty impressive narrative lyricism) to this album, one that can rarely be bothered to find a different set of lyrics for the second verse instead of just aping the first one again. It should be abundantly clear by now but this album, to me, represents the absolute nadir of big-money, label-made music and the homogenization of pop culture as a whole. This is what happens when you pursue a 100% capital-oriented pursuit to music in the interest of inflating your profits - and it worked! It worked so well that Max Martin gets to produce anything and everything nowadays, leading to popular music which sounds melodically similar (there are YouTube compilations out there if you don't believe me) and lifeless, music that has no soul because no one involved had actual music in mind. I guess this is /truly/ one of the 1001 albums to listen to before you die in that it provides a tripping hazard in hell of bar for genuine artistry.

Pop de sábanas blancas, suave como un sol de Cancún en mayo, que te pega en los ojos mientras al lado tuyo baila una señora en sombrero y anteojos de sol; y delante, una instructora grita en espasmos, despertando de la siesta a un abuelo cuyos nietos juegan en la alberca. Qué sé yo, Blank Space más o menos zafa, si lo que querés es menoscabar la psiquis de tus empleados.

Only one track half grabbed my attention. Maybe on subsequent attempts I'd get mire from it, but Sw8ft has never been my cup of tea.

Yucky

Was very open minded before hand. Silly little me. Major poo poo album. Fave track - Shake It Off

Literally 1984 pakko on kuunnella.. heh.. siinä on albumin nimi väärässä.. pitäisi olla 1984.. KOSKA PAKKO KUUNNELLA... Lyriikat on välillä tuhmia..... Siitä tykkään... heh....

I'm being harsh, but the first song on this album made me want to immediately swerve into oncoming traffic. By some point I thought, alright, maybe there's a few hooks on here that work, and then Bad Blood started playing so traffic seemed alluring again.

Non

Not a fan

Shake it off is a good song. Everything else felt boring. My personal opinion but compared to her modern female pop star peers, she is kinda the lowest common denominator.

Beyoncé had the best music video of all time

Ewww nooo it had it’s time but I pass

Except for two songs that were commercial hits, this album really isn't worth a listen, in my opinion.

This is just awful...

Is this actually real or some AI generated nonsense?

I cant, this isnt for me. I tried.

Energetic, but boring. Every track sounds the same

Not for me. Anthemy feel good vapidity that doesn't connect

Better than Evermore (the album generated half a year ago)

Soo not my thing. Listened to half of the album and gave up. Nah. All same same and I just don’t care, sorry

Bizarrely, to me and my friends, I own not one, but TWO albums by Ms Swift. This is not, nor will it ever be, one of them. I guess if I was a 14 year old girl I'd like it, but I'm not. So I don't.

Dear god that was horrible!!!

It's genuinely offensive that this is included on this list.

olidligt

0/5, that was terrible in all possible ways. Just generic radio pop done in a bad way.

Not my jams

Låter så själlöst, ljudmässigt tomt, några helt funny lyrics men inte tillräckligt. Shake it off är bra men resten är så obeskrivligt tråkigt dude....

Dude this album beat To Pimp a Butterfly for Album of the Year at the Grammy's. HOW?!

Bubblegum pop that tires really quickly.

my ears are bleeding

Why????

Not a fan… a few good songs

Why is this on the list !?!? Dross without a rhythm section...

Taylor made music for a peado van. No thanks I swiftly skipped this one. Overall she’s pretty shit

"Bad Blood" is one of my least favorite songs of all time.

ну и хуйня

Yeah, not doing this one.

2/10

Any one artist I’m just absolutely not a fan of.. it’s Taylor Swift. Didn’t listen because I don’t want the algorithm to even suggest her.

Not my kind of jam. 1/5

1) Me dieron ganas de ir nuevamente a NY pero prefiero esperar a que me den la vacuna. 2) Canción para cualquier película de Disney donde la trama es de un pibe latino que se enamora de una yankie donde los padres piensan que él quiere casarse con ella por la visa pero descubren que los padres de él son diplomáticos multimillonarios. El se va del país en el avión privados de los padres. Ella lo mira llorando. Plot twist: El avión cae. El sobrevive, los padres no. El se queda con ella. 3) Idem 2. 4) Música para publicidad de Apple Watch. 5) Música para cualquiera película donde trabaje Katherine Heigl. La de Grey's Anatomy. 6) Shake it Off. No hace falta aclarar. Mega pegadizo. La base es bastante simpática. Me encontré cantándolo sin darme cuenta. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 7) Otro tema Disney. 8) Idem 7. 9) Me gusta 10) Meh 11) Anne Hathaway corriendo en slow motion por NY dándose cuenta que dejó el horno encendido y tiene que regresar a su depto de 1200mt2 atravezando miles de peripesias. 12) Horrendo intro diciendo 'I I I I I' pero el resto del tema está muy bien. 13) Me gusta. 3/10 ludomatics. Le doy un punto más porque la foto del disco está sacada con films de Polaroid/Impossible-Project. Ni remótamente lo volvería escuchar.

Compressed crap.

Me hace sentir adolescente enamorada. 4/5 Credens.
