Sounds like she is definitely going in on Olivia Rodrigo on "Who's Afraid Of Little Old Me"

The video seems very “Poor Things”-inspired. This is so vague lmao. What was Emma's contribution? Songwriting? Backing vocals? Production? |

The Charlie Puth lyric is so weird.

Yeah this really blended so much for me… none of it sounded awful, very little sounded memorable for me. I think I like But Daddy I Love Him, Florida!!!, ICDIWABH, and The Alchemy the most initially.

I need to process the album. It was a lot to take in, but I suspect this will be my all-time personal favourite album of hers. It was like reading pages out of my own diary. I’ll circle back after a few more listens.
SLL and loml destroyed me. TSMWEL enraged me. WAOLOM? also made me feel something big.
The album is remarkable. I don’t see radio hits here, but it’s a fantastic album from start to finish.

I still think it is about Olivia lol I don't really see it in the song as a whole, but I guess the line "So tell me everything is not about me / But what if it is?" could vaguely allude to the rumours of "Vampire" being about her. The last verse of "Clara Bow" is more obviously a reference to her, though. |

Just throwing it out there, Olivia didn't suddenly credit Taylor on Deja Vu and 1 Step out of the kindness of her heart.... |

I love her release nights because I’m always up until like 6am, especially now that she drops more music later in the night lol. Her power!!
My early faves:
Whos Afraid of Little Old Me?
My Boy Only Breaks his Favorite Toys
The Tortured Poets Department
Loml
I Can Do It With A Broken Heart

But also Taylor did get her credits in the end, so what’s the point of shading all these years later (and I still think CS sample was a reach, but I digress)? |

The album is pleasant. It'll grow on me.
I need her to move on from Jack Antonoff though. The well's been exhausted. There's nothing here sonically that feels new or revolutionary. The lyrics might be thematically different but a lot of it sounds like it could have been on Midnights.
I love "So Long, London" a lot.

Oh for sure, Taylor has never held a grudge in her life /s |

Just throwing it out there, Olivia didn't suddenly credit Taylor on Deja Vu and 1 Step out of the kindness of her heart.... 1 step forward was conceived as a NYD sample and got approved well before SOUR was released. Deja Vu is the one that got retroactively credited (and good 4 u but that was for Paramore). |

Down Bad
But Daddy I Love Him
I Can Do It…
The Alchemy
Those are perfection. The rest kind of blend together. This is all very wordy, gloomy, and sonically uninspired.
Hope there’s more to come.
Why couldn’t The Alchemy be the lead? That’s what the world loves about her lately.

Haha, just kidding… but we apparently have very similar taste here on initial listen. |
