I dont mean her presidential recommendation, no i am talking of her latest album. Its easily her best and its neither super poppy nor country. So during covid she got into folk music, and she just became more somber and mature almost overnight. There is a reason more older people listen vs teens. Shes older now, 34, and makes music for her age group but everyone assume she stills aim at teenager girls.
You could go to her newest albums and only listen to her explicit tracks to get the most change, but thats not all she is either.
Im no pro on music, i check spotify on Fridays and listen what instrested me, mostly rap but whatever. But im a die hard swiftie
Actually i think down bad would be the best introduction of taylor swift now. Its folky popy and she says fuck a bunch, so its a great starting point that ignored her younger country times.
Goes to !unpopularopinion@lemmy.world
Everyone should listen to this new album by arguably the worlds most popular singer
I like you OP :).
Uh excuse me, grown ass men in their 30s, which is what i am, listening to taylor swift is an unpopular opinion, that doesn’t mean its factual, just un popular.
But since you like my girl swifty whatd your favorite album/ song
Edit; spelling
30 year old man here. Pretty much all of her songs I listened to against my will just because of how much they’re on the radio. Can’t deny some are pretty catchy and get stuck in my head though. I like her old romancy songs like Love Story. I’m a sucker for romance.
So you already listened to her newest album right, right?
Even as a teen i liked her, but i grew up in Nashville and i know people who wemt to school with her, so we have a kevin bacon number of two.
I mean…I’m pushing middle age and can’t name one Taylor Swift song. If four songs were played, and 3 of them were Swift’s, I’d still probably not be able to pick it out.
Nothing against her or the genre of music, just has never seemed like it would be my cup of tea.
This is why i think people should check out her newest album. Radio will only play her poppyist hit songs. She only has like a lot of top charting pop songs.
Shes a lot more mature with her music the last few years and it shows, just listen to her newest album you will see a difference from your expectations.
Hmmm, I kinda agree this is an unpopular opinion to an extent.
I would, however, argue that it’s relatively rather than objectivly unpopular, so expect a lot of disagreement.
I also kinda agree. Not for the way you said things (which never actually says why everyone should give her a listen, only general opinions about the recent album and her catalog), but I tend to be in favor of trying any major artist at least once, purely as a way of connecting to other people.
Music can bridge gaps. If there’s millions of people into a given artist/band, there’s a reason for that, even if it’s something that you view as a negative. Sharing the experience, even if you don’t enjoy it, at least gives you a chance to share something with others to a limited degree. That’s always a good thing, and that’s even for objectively bad music/art/literature.
I apologize, i tend to only post when i drink and thats when the barrier that prevents me from being social is gone.
The only thing i need to say is listen to her newest deluxe album . If you’re 4 songs in amd don’t like it? Drop it.
No. If theres any album everyone should listen to, its not from Swift. Listen to something more meaningful
What are you talking about? All music should be listened to from everyone
Ecit: spelling, okay i edited a bunch
You talking about Tortured Poets Department? Jokes aside about recommending a popular artist as an ‘unpopular’ opinion - I actually do disagree. I’m a pretty solid Swift fan but TPD doesn’t really do anything for me. I’ve listened to the whole album a couple of times and I found the songs all kind of samey and forgettable.
If you want to introduce people to Swift, I’d vote for “All Too Well” which I think is just such a brilliant, relatable song about unrequited love.
Edit: Currently relistening to TPD and I have to admit Florida!!! is better than I remembered.
