He looks like he would be asking me to top him on Grindr sorry.

I can’t explain it - but this entire thing is the most American (derogatory) thing ever. I can’t believe he’s tax exempt.

If I want to listen to a slightly problematic, cult like leader, with an insane fanbase, have an existential crisis and full blown meltdown - I’ll just keep streaming TTPD 😌

me walking thru the wealthy neighborhoods in my city

I changed into goddesses, villians, and fools. Changed plans, and lovers, and outfits, and rules. 😭😭

ooooh I’m gonna check this book out thank you!!!!

@Rorman Nockwell do you like the song??

leaning towards Joe on this one mostly bc the actual pub going thru CCTV footage and showing Joe visiting their pub multiple times. Plus Jack shared a photo of her recording TBD and it was during the time she had just started going public with Matty - so he hadn’t ghosted her yet. But aside from the invasion of Joe’s privacy, TBD seems to be about someone who she trusted and was in some form of “routine” with (sharing locations) - and I’m guessing Matty was not someone who would fit that.

if you ask anyone outside of music forums/twitter - “fantano” is probably some orange fizzy drink.

How the hell is this album holding above 130m daily streams in its 5th day? I thought this album was supposed to just be for those of us who get it 😭😭

I refuse to associate “Gold Rush” with Matty. Same with “Ivy”. Damn that little rat was the muse of century.

it can’t be. It’s stabilized at so many streams. All the criticism is around “ugh another song about her being the victim” or “she’s a billionaire” or “why is she everywhere” - but she’s barely even doing promo. She’s everywhere bc ppl write about her to get clicks. She’s not forcing anyone to consume anything - she’s basically dropped this album during a hiatus and barely said a word about it.

omg I came here to say exactly this 😭🤍

this is why i switched from Apple Music to Tidal. Last.FM integration natively + the hi res

ooh i still don't have a clear frontrunner, since I've mostly been looping the album front to back over and over LMAO. My top 5 are all between 70-90 steams per song and: 1. So Long, London 2. Fortnight 3. Who's Afraid... 4. Florida 5. Fresh Out The Slammer

1. Mariners Apartment Complex 2. Heroin 3. Cruel World 4. A&W 5. Candy Necklace

I have literally listened to nothing else but this album this week. I already have scrobbled it 1,000 times. It's soooo good. I hate all the critics and Twitter warriors fighting about her being "too much" or "too rich" or "too big." The music is not about being a billionaire or being a beloved popstar, it's raw and real. I don't think I've clicked and related with an album this much since Red and NFR!

Also I NEED the anthology on vinyl bc I think that album is going to be the soundtrack so hot, rainy summer evenings

no that's literally what he's saying idk why Taylor has Gay Truthers when this man is literally like "I identify as straight but..." in every damn interview LOL. I mean good for him. I wouldn't date him if he was. But still, good for you Matty.

i'm pretty sure he identifies as straight - he said so in his Chicken Shop Interview last year.

it's also interesting because Sam could be a boys name or a girls name. i def think it could be Matty, but honestly, I don't think she'd really go there? IDK. It would seem a bit low - I know there's no need to publicly come out anymore - but I also don't think she'd be so brazen about someone else's (especially an ex's) sexuality? In this case I feel like she may want any speculation to purely be about her and not about Joe/Matty (obviously there should be no speculation at all though, I think that's her biggest hope LOL). I need to properly read the "Peter" lyrics but I think that one's basically about Matty Healy promising to come get her 10 years later in 2014, and royal fucking it up in 2024.

ok thisssssss one is iffy bc like who is she outing if not herself...like i'm not even gonna go there bc i love the song but WHAT is she trying to say with "your hologram stumbled into my apartment/hands in the hair of somebody in the darkness/named Chloe Or Sam Or Sophia or Marcus"

I fuck you not I saw a gaylor say TTPD is about Phoebe Bridgers in FULL seriousness. Their entire world has been turned upside down bc their entire narrative was “if Taylor’s so happy with Joe - why is she writing all these lustful songs?” And now that Taylor’s basically confirmed them to be about Matty Healy, who she’s waited for since 2014, they’re in panic.

Current album ranking Red TTPD [standard + anthology as one album] (recency bias) 1989 folklore Speak Now Midnights (her most inconsistent for me, but the songs that hit hit) evermore Lover (Cruel Summer carries) Reputation Fearless Taylor Swift
