Wow, I'm a Taylor fan but that chorus is easily the worst thing she's ever done. Sounds like that Megan Trainor song.

Lyric video up

I love a good lyric video.

 

[tali'zorah84]

which is better. swish swish music video or this song?

the sweet release of death

 

[serenewarfare]

No bueno.

 

[Akahige]

I dug 1989 a lot, well a lot more than I expected. This not so much, but I guess Shake it Off was kinda meh as well.

 

[Alphahawk]

even if you don't like this, just remember that the first single released from 1989 was Shake It Off, which is objectively the worst song on that album

You should hear the Ryan Adams version...

 

[Doctor Decimate]

Not that I ever felt like she was this truly original voice or anything, but it seems like she stepped into a real crowded space with nothing to back her up? It all feels mashed together with a put-on attitude and ends up just...boring.

 

[Draper]

I got what I wanted.

HOW SWAY

 

[Not]

All you people needed was to wait for the immediate blowback and then you're like "OK, phew, I can like this now"

Taylor Swift, making me like music I don't even like

Queen

 

[blame space]

listen to melodrama

 

[Dead Prince]

the only thing i really like starts here

[brianmcdoogle]

I want to amend my previous comment. I think I made this entire song in GarageBand about a decade ago. This was amusingly bad. Wonder how many Grammys it will win?

 

[Rock And Roll]

Production is pretty cool but the song itself is pretty bad. The verses are a bit flat and the chorus sucks. RIP Taytay.

 

[benicillin]

I like it. Looking forward to the rest of the album.

 

[JABEE]

Taylor Swift is copying Selena Gomez with a shittier song and no real hook.

[Draper]

Now I just want a hitting album

Fuck whoever suggested HEALTH

 

[BTM]

listen to melodrama

It's amazing

 

[Not]

I think I would even hate this in a club

I'd dance anyway, but I'd hate the song

Come on Taylor

 

[bbd23]

Yikes.

hope the album is decent.

 

[Meier]

There's a few moments that are decent. About the only positive thing I can say after one listen.

 

[Emarv]

If she sang the chorus, I think it'd be a way better song. Or at least made the chorus dynamic in some way. Dig the rest of it.

 

[cdyhybrid]

 

[Bronx-Man]

listen to melodrama

.

 

[Sai-kun]

katy won

listen to melodrama

 

[Not]

Guys at least she's trying

 

[bbd23]

katy won

listen to melodrama

I wouldn't go that far.

 

[trh]

I hope this song is supposed to be primarily for branding purposes and the rest of the album is more typical Taylor cus this song is not going on repeat ever

 

[Khaos Kontrol]

That song was dogshit. Bleh

 

[ThanksVision]

I think I can get behind this tbh. It contains a classic Taylor Swift BTS conversation with that telephone skit. Hilarious

Its intentions are just so forward and obvious, from the lyrics to the reputation cover art. So far removed from her 1989 persona. Still excited to hear the rest of the album for me

Also Red > Speak Now > Fearless > 1989 > TS is my ranking

 

[Dany]

Sucks.


Gonna be a radio hit for sure

 

[Tragicomedy]

I think it's about everyone: Katy, Kanye, Kim, every single ex, most of the people in this thread, my dead cocker spaniel.

Look what you made me do
Look what you made me do
Fuck your dead dog, too
Look what you just made me do.

 

[Mau ®]

What is this trash????

 

[Miles X]

I just can't see this being played on the radio much ... not if Chained to the Rythem didn't get much love which was catchier.

The pop world is so fickle, I swear nobody survives.

 

[tali'zorah84]

why does the chorus sound like operate by peaches

 

[Not]

I wouldn't go that far.

Melodrama has its cheesy/badass (depends who you ask) parts too but it's really good overall

Taylor Swift is copying Selena Gomez with a shittier song and no real hook.

See I fuck with this

 

[blame space]

Taylor please

 

[backflip10019]

Yikes that was bad.

 

[hughesta]

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

 

[Draper]

Girl should've went full yeezus

Not edgy Katy Perry

 

[bbd23]

Melodrama has its cheesy/badass (depends who you ask) parts too but it's really good overall



See I fuck with this

oh I love Melodrama.

its the katy part I was talking about

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Old Taylor can't come to the phone right now?

Why?

SHES DEAD!

Lol wtf

video is neat, song is bad

 

[tali'zorah84]

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

stan talent

 

[And_Gignac]

That was bad. Katy won!

 

[ZeoVGM]

I just can't see this being played on the radio much ... not if Chained to the Rythem didn't get much love which was catchier.

The pop world is so fickle, I swear nobody survives.

This is going to be in the top 10 on Billboard immediately and all over the radio every 5 minutes.

Not even a contest.

 

[Lights and Waves]

It samples that Peaches song from the Mean Girls soundtrack. She's a genius.

 

[Skatterd]

Is this supposed to sound like a bad Katy Perry song intentionally as a joke?

 

[cory64]

This is a mess, but so was Shake It Off.
Still gonna give the album a shot, surely there's an All Too Well or Begin Again or Treacherous or... she's never gonna give us another Red is she. 😢

 

[QuantumSquid]

This is 2017. Taylor Swift is gonna have to do a lot better than this to have a chance against all the great music that came/is coming out this year.

 

[Not]

Sucks.


Gonna be a radio hit for sure

Man for the most part I could turn on the radio lately. Despacito, XO TOUR Llif3, HUMBLE., Redbone, etc.

At least this won't be on the hiphop stations
