The lyrics to BAD BLOOD by Taylor Swift are ridiculous

Her "talent" was a forerunner of AI.

And now it's an artifact of it.

Plus she's too old for that look. And demeanor. And persona. So shrill. So...pre-adolescent.

Joni Mitchell she ain’t.

🎶Joni’s in a wheel chair🎶

🎶I’m a fucking billionaire🎶

Haters. This is not a good example of her talents as a lyricist.

Most of Taylor’s lyrics are quite weak, standing alone.

But her ability to map them onto unusually hooky melodic lines is superb. Her songs embedded themselves into millions and millions of young-girl brains back when Red, 1989 and Reputation were hit albums. Gotta grant her that.

Am I correct that "trusted/rusted" is the only actual rhyme in that lyric?

🎶 Touch me while your bros play Grand Theft Auto 🎶

[quote]unusually hooky melodic lines

Never heard any evidence of this

And the fact she has won multiple Album of the Year Grammys is evident that the Grammys are worthless in this day and age.

r6: how could have you missed:

[quote] And I don't think we can solve 'EM

Is this her musical plea to Blake Lively?

Her pussy stinks, right?

Bad Blood is the worst song on 1989 and feels very mean girls - it's about Katy Perry.

But she is a great lyricist, a great storyteller. Getaway Car, Cornelia Street, Blank Space, August, You're On Your Own Kid, State Of Grace.

Isn't she getting a bit old for this shit? The mean girl bullshit, the inane lyrics, being called Tay-Tay, for Christ's sake?

Her upside: 'hot flash' and 'menopause' have plenty of words to rhyme with.

R14 - Bad Blood was released over a decade ago when she was 24.

She's 35 now, the same age as Madonna when she released the Something To Remember album.

I know, R15. I wasn't speaking specifically about BB.

Bad Blood is one of her "glitter gel pen" songs. The other levels are "fountain pen" and "quill pen," and the difference is obvious.

This one, for example, is definitely quill pen.

Fountain pen

I should not be left to my own devices They come with prices and vices I end up in crisis (tale as old as time) I wake up screaming from dreaming One day I'll watch as you're leaving 'Cause you got tired of my scheming (For the last time)

It doesn't get worse than this

wait maybe it does get worse:

It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me It's me, hi, everybody agrees, everybody agrees

Fountain with a some quill

That's bad writing, r19?

And I can see us twisted in bedsheets

August sipped away like a bottle of wine

'Cause you were never mine

Back when we were still changin' for the better

Wanting was enough

For me, it was enough

To live for the hope of it all

Cancel plans just in case you'd call

And say you meet me behind the mall

So much for summer love and saying, "Us"

'Cause you weren't mine to lose

You weren't mine to lose, no

Stevie Nicks loved this:

From sprinkler splashes to fireplace ashes

I gave my blood, sweat, and tears for this

I hosted parties and starved my body

Like I'd be saved by a perfect kiss

The jokes weren't funny, I took the money

My friends from home don't know what to say

I looked around in a blood-soaked gown

And I saw something they can't take away

'Cause there were pages turned with the bridges burned

Everything you lose is a step you take

So make the friendship bracelets, take the moment and taste it

You've got no reason to be afraid

You're on your own, kid

Yeah, you can face this

You're on your own, kid

You always have been

All of her lyrics are terrible. It’s really pathetic for grown women to still be idolizing this teenage crap and pretending it has depth.

R10, I didn't miss that. My question stands!
