CinnamonGay 10,527 Posted March 15, 2021 FN CFN FN:MOONLIGHT EDITION. Bops thru and thru. Just pop vocal?? Folklore has great songs no doubt but so many skips (seven,hoax,mad woman, peace and songs I forgot..). Let's be real...taylor just won due to some behind the scenes stuff.. I used to hate Dua till FN dropped. It had me flooooooored. Anyway. Congrats Taylor. Hope to see evermore nominated next time.( one of my fav) 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Distantly 3,923 Posted March 15, 2021 She def won due to some bts stuff. She even thanked the academy and said she’ll never forget what they did for her this time. Idk I never listened to the album so whatever. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheBoss 13,481 Posted March 15, 2021 Not all of you coming for Folklore when she's serving you incredible songs like the last great american dinasty, ephiphany, this is me trying or exile, and all of the others tbh all are amazing songs the only ones that barely remember me of Lana are the ones from the love triangle, maybe because they're about love I guess just like most songs that came before Lana? Lol The only songs that really scream Lana to me from Taylor are Wildest Dreams and Miss Americana, and te first one is an amazing Pop song, probably pop perfection, the other one not so much 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lol The only songs that really scream Lana to me from Taylor are Wildest Dreams and Miss Americana, and te first one is an amazing Pop song, probably pop perfection, the other one not so much No hate, no beef, we just definitely have different opinions and taste. I've never been into Taylor's music so I can't say much on the tracks you mentioned but I gave Cardigan a good listen as well as the other two the Grammy's featured and they just lack lyrically wise to me, personally. Wildest Dreams was obviously heavily inspired by Without You, and I'm not sure if you were around when that controversy went down but some of the YouTube videos that came afterwards analyzing the two tracks lyrically (as well as plenty of other tracks) all seemed like Taylor just regurgitated a lot of Lana's lyrics. But then again, that is merely my own opinion. In 2019, Taylor delivered a speech on how much Lana has influenced her (including the pop industry as a whole) and as much as I appreciate Taylor showing her admiration for Lana as well as acknowledging the huge impact she has made on the pop industry, I just don't like her music as they lack for me - I'm not hating on her as a person, I just really dislike her music 1 Quote Gangster Nancy Sinatra "And I want revenge" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She could have just mixed Evermore and Folklore into a single album and defo got a clean sweep. ... Lover screams Lana to me. And the lyrics of folklore/lover very reminiscent of pre UV Lana. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And yeah the chorus of Wildest Drams is very similar to WY, the production is very cinematic as well, and I'm sure that she was influenced by Lana a lot for that track at the end of the day it is one of her favorite artists, however that doesn't take from the fact that Wildest Dream is quite a pop beast in it of itself. Two amazing tracks on their own. 23 minutes ago, CinnamonGay said: I love Taylor alot ok? I listen to her albums on a loop. But I just skip the 2nd half of folklore except betty and illicit affairs.

Churchome Rep 3,381 Posted March 15, 2021 Folklore/Evermore is good in the realm of pop, but in the realm of indie, it’s pretty pedestrian. I love The National, and Aaron Dessner did not go very far creatively to produce this album. Also, Cowboy Like Me, Miss Americana, The Last Great American Dynasty have lots of Lana lyrical influence 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dua looked stunning throughout the entire night. Maybe I'm a bit biased bc I love both Dua & the colour pink, but I don't think it took someone with 20/20 vision to see that Dua looked truly incredible. But also.. can't help but say that her red carpet look reminded me of..

Dua obv, Megan, and Lizzo were my personal favorites! I also really liked Taylor’s dress and mask combo. I’m normally not a fan of over-the-top ensembles, but it worked for her. 3 Quote ♡ ♡ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It literally sounds like Madonna's COADF with a dash of Kylie's Aphrodite with slightly more modern production. Dua releasing a nu-disco themed album in 2020 when several other pop girls did the same thing is by no means an impressive feat. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
