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

Everyone should listen to this new album by arguably the worlds most popular singer
I like you OP :).
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.
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.
Counterpoint. Maybe it wasn’t the folksy music that resulted in her musical maturity and it was her hitting a milestone age. It’s a well known fact that artists crossing the 34 year old barrier mature significantly and often hit their artistic stride. You can actually Google “mature rule 34” to see more examples of this!
Alright, I tried but I’m going to call it quits after I had to listen to “generic pop song 1 through 5”. If that is her best album then I haven’t been missing anything. I’ll go back to listing to Avril Lavigne for my teenage girl music.
You’re full of shit. You get the anti swift upvotes sure, but her newest album doesnt go pop untill the third song. And then the fourth song is one of the best of the whole album. So clearly you did not listen to it, you’re just acting like a bitch who says they did.
Well, I did if you believe me or not. And yeah, my plexamp even highlighted song 4 & 5 with a 🔥 symbol, which is why I quite after even those turned out to be meh.
If you dont like quality music from an artist who cares then fine by me. Taylor swift is the most American personality there is and i love her for that.
Wikipedia describes the first two songs as
A 1980s-inspired downtempo electropop and synth-pop ballad
and
A synth-pop song
Both those are still pop. I listened to the first few songs in the album. They’re not bad, and imo they’re more interesting than her earlier hits. You’re right that she has matured as an artist. But I imagine someone that disliked her earlier stuff would also dislike these. Music taste is something you can’t really be right or wrong about. You shouldn’t accuse someone of lying about listening to something just because they didn’t like it.
Fucking unpopular opinion forums are always like “I think extremely popular and well known thing is good”
She doesn’t really make those tracks. She herself don’t really change in terms of music. She just takes different tracks from all the best producers in the world and sings on them.
Not to undermine her, that’s her own set of skill I guess, but it just doesn’t feel right to give her any credit on musical change. And personally, I find all of her songs, including latest ones, quite uninteresting…
