The lyrics are a bit corny but I like the new snippet, sounds better than the first

No I'm not blaming you solely for the thread lock, but I do think you (by your own words, dramatically) announcing your break raised the tension and is part of what lead to more drama. I don't really know what to say about the rest of what you said, but if the reasoning for your "break" from the site was because you don't enjoy seeing Taylor criticised and don't want to argue about her anymore, then you shouldn't come back within less than a week to immediately start defending her on a supposed "echo chamber of anger and hate thread" about her. And we do have threads for other famous peoples' controversies, as this is a discussion forum. It's not just a Taylor thing. Examples:

You've made it clear that you can't handle seeing Taylor Swift critiqued, so if you don't like that, I don't understand why you even clicked this thread that's obviously painting her in a negative light. I don't hold anything against you, but you announced a dramatic 3-day break from the site last week just because people were calling Taylor out for her chart abuse tactics and "you didn't want to argue anymore", now you immediately come back to engage in more Taylor debates and leave 3 comments in the span of 20 minutes. (It didn't even escalate to a thread lock until after you announced your exit and TBH that's part of what raised the tension…) Nobody was attacking you. I understand that you don't like seeing your idol being critiqued, but things like this are bound to happen on discussion forums, especially with such a polarising and famous figure like Taylor that's gained notoriety for her capitalistic and conniving mean girl image. You shouldn't take it so personally

Lmao so apparently they were targeting Taylor's jet, but didn't actually get hers' Just Stop Oil climate protesters have filmed themselves breaking into a private airfield and spraying jets orange. They targetted Taylor Swift’s private jet with the superstar touching down in the UK for her Eras tour just hours earlier. The group said: “Jennifer and Cole cut the fence into the private airfield at Stansted where Taylor Swift’s jet is parked, demanding an emergency treaty to end fossil fuels by 2030.” Police sources said they had since been informed that the Shake It Off singer’s jet wasn’t at the private airfield. Flight tracking data appears to show Swift’s Falcon 7x jet landing in Stansted at around 11pm last night. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/just-stop-oil-stansted-private-planes-taylor-swift-b2565741.html

Well, it's not like Taylor is much better than that. I usually wouldn't encourage vandalism of others' property, although it's hard for me to feel sympathy for her private jet being "vandalised" when the jet in question is constantly used to "vandalise" the planet.

Does anyone else love Paper Cut? The lyrics are so good. It's hard to not have on repeat

This might be offensive to some, but I'm going to say it. We need more XCX songs with terroristic and explosive-related imagery. Dynamite, Atomic, Nuclear Seasons, You (the music video), Boom Clap, Explode, now Spring Breakers… I probably forgot some but these are all bops.

I think because the flag has stars ⭐ on it

Scooter Braun legally owned it. But aside from that - sure, it's a different situation, but the point was that Taylor herself is absolutely shameless and greedy. And a hypocrite for pretending otherwise. The only difference is that Taylor has a brigade of fans who would go to war defending her for it. I usually love getting insight into an artist's creative process. Like, I really enjoy hearing demos, but the truth is: these Taylor releases weren't intended as true gifts for the fans. It's not about having a peak into her artistry. She wasn't thinking about any of that, only monetary gain and the charts.

I try to stay out of commenting on this thread since I can't stand Taylor and I know she has fans here. But the way she called Scooter Braun "shameless and greedy" for releasing a random live album is just so... wow. The hypocrisy is astonishing to me.

Toilet Sniff is truly a nasty, conniving and mean-spirited woman, I've been saying. I cannot vibe with her.

The old leak sounds more finalised IMO, but I have no idea. Midnight was in fact mastered for the album though

No offence, but what happened to her face?

https://krakenfiles.com/view/atjXG8esMP/file.html a bunch of Justin Parker files leaked today and this was there! I've never heard it before Also- just noticed the modify date of the file is 15 August 2012, so, that's interesting

I LOVE this version of Midnight omg, I'm obsessed

What I'm saying is: the "original snippet" you're talking about, which I linked, is a fanmade edit that somebody made using a scrapped vocal take from the session. There is no full sadly. The actual "later version" I'm talking about is different

If you're referring to this, It's an edit. There is a later version of Spin The Bottle that was made after the original leaked version though, with re-recorded vocals

A bunch of songs from 2024 just leaked

I agree, offering literal drugs to a complete stranger on the spot is super weird. What happened to having class? (and hasn't Charli herself also said that she hates poppers?)

A lot of people are talking about this on Twitter so it's probably a stale topic, but I haven't seen it mentioned on here… thoughts?
