Maybe the song is about itself and we are being punished

 

[JABEE]

video is neat, song is bad

I disagree. I like the semi-spoken word verses and smooth choruses layered over an awesome bass guitar line.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Is the "you" here the "they" from Khaled's snaps?

 

[Draper]

Maybe the song is about itself and we are being punished

It's the only thing that makes sense

 

[cordy]

I'm not a fan and I'm not the target audience but considering the whole thing with Ye and the drama surrounding her I was curious. Damn. This isn't the Taylor Swift I remember. This song just doesn't sound good...like idk what it is, I can't put my finger on it but it doesn't sound good at all.

Like it sounds like if the whole thing was a Clue-ish humorous parody music video then it might sound better as an interlude in an album or something but it's supposed to be serious and a single so nothing else matches up.

Nah not feeling it.

 

[Albino_Yeti]

This song is gonna be all over the radio. Gonna reach Stressed Out levels of overplayed.

 

[Merchandise]

Another one bites the dust

I F*CKING hate that song! Why couldn't they just overplay a good one like Tear in my Heart or something?

 

[WaffleTaco]

As someone who has been a fan of her music since Teardrops on my Guitar...I think this might be the worst song I have heard by her. It is not catchy, It is not relatable, It is simply obvious and worst boring.

What's sad is Fergie released a new song that at least tries to be fun. Who would have thought I would be like Fergie more than T-Swift.

 

[Bronx-Man]

The phone bit is hilariously awful.

 

[B.O.O.M]

That was terrible! wtf

 

[adj_noun]

Waiting for the Arya Stark video to go with this.

 

[cdyhybrid]

What the entire fuck is this shit though

For real

Is there a wolf howling in the background or some shit

Goodness

Calvin won
Katy won
Ye won
Kim won

Cleanse your ears

 

[Draper]

The phone bit is hilariously awful.

It's so fucking on the nose, like there's no subtlety or irony to it.

Makes the album cover that much worse

 

[R10Neymarfan]

RIP Mariah's legacy

 

[ThanksVision]

It's just so teenage prepubescent overly dramatic (SHE'S DEAD) that it's almost endearing to me I guess

 

[painey]

it's not too bad, but the chorus is garbage

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Cleanse your ears

Katy won is very Debatable

don't forget to stream "cut to the feeling" today

stan talent

So true!

 

[Dandy Crocodile]

Roof stoof. Oy.

 

[Goldrusher]

I like it.

 

[Glass Shark]

all the examples people are posting in this thread of "good" music are fucking boring garbage

NONE OF YOU ARE WITHOUT SIN

 

[Draper]

Nah, Katy and Tay took the L

Like the end of Matrix where both Neo and Smith die.

They cancel each other out

 

[TurnipFritters]

The phone bit is hilariously awful.

She's DEAD

 

[JetBlackPanda]

all the examples people are posting in this thread of "good" music are fucking boring garbage

NONE OF YOU ARE WITHOUT SIN

This is fair

 

[B.O.O.M]

Gonna go listen to Dua Lipa or some shit now to clean my ears

 

[Albino_Yeti]

I F*CKING hate that song! Why couldn't they just overplay a good one like Tear in my Heart or something?

Haha, I actually don't mind it too much, the radio tried to make me hate it, but I still think it's alright.

[Not]

the telephone bit is maybe the most embarrassing thing I've ever heard in a pop song. I can't get over it. it's so bad

What an edgelord would sound like if they were white, beautiful, and one of the most famous and successful people on the planet

"What is 'that part?'"

 

[Bronx-Man]

.

 

[Chase17]

Parts of the song are alright but I really don't like that chorus.

 

[Floridian]

Not good.

 

[Yaboosh]

I liked it.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

I got Kanye with the 3-0 bodybag

 

[Draper]

Tay, if you're not going to stay in your lane, you could at least try not driving in reverse

 

[cordy]

Yeah...that telephone part is the one part that my mind keeps going back to like it sticks because it's so damn bad man. Like shit at least hire Kendrick and let him put some metaphors in that shit so it's not so obvious and bad. That's just ugh.

For the first time in years I've cringed while hearing a track.

 

[bbd23]

RIP Mariah's legacy

this post is good.

 

[blame space]

album when

 

[Tragicomedy]

Tay, if you're not going to stay in your lane, you could at least try not driving in reverse

Look what you made me do.

 

[Weapxn]

I fucking love it.

Well, that may be a bit of an exaggeration. I like it quite a bit. The phone bit is pretty juvenile, but eh. I'm definitely excited to hear the rest of the album.

 

[Epic Drop]

I loved 1989, so I figured that I'd stay up and listen when the new single dropped. The song was horrible. Nothing redeemable, hated everything about it. I can only hope the rest of the album doesn't sound like this trash.

 

[Not]

Maybe the song is about itself and we are being punished

I feel like I'm reading all of the jokes I will read forty-five times each for the next week here in this thread for the first time

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Last thing I needed was tour dates to drop today

Did I sign up for ticket alert immediately when the site loaded anyway? You Bet

 

[TheOctodad]

Never been a massive Tay fan, but this was awful.

 

[Glass Shark]

GOD the second pre-chorus is fucking goooooooood

 

[Gobias]

.

🔥🔥

 

[Boogie9IGN]

as a hardcore 1989 stan, the only good thing i can say about this is that if the album is more of this then i wont have to spend $500 on tickets to her concert again

 

[D23]

Damn the chorus is catchy ... this is gonna be a hit and radio will play it a million times.

 

[broz0rs]

That chorus is dreadful. It's like she's trying to outdo the Chainsmokers or something. Other than that, seems like she couldn't shake it off and went back to the scorned Taylor.
