Taylor Swift - "My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys"

[HEADOFTHEPACK]

Track 3 on The Tortured Poets Department.

One of the songs on the album that feels the most 'core' Taylor to me - across the lyrics, melody and production. Can't get it out of my head.

[God]

It's giving Is It Over Now although I like this much more

I initially thought they were mad not to push this as the lead, and while radio seems like it might agree, the streaming reaction so far doesn't support that at all.

Sounds like a mega flop to me if it got released… her biggest since The Man. I’m shocked CHR is spinning it so much. This one would be tanking HARD in streaming if it weren’t at the front of the album.

[Maximillian]

This is a hit in waiting

[Ling-Ling]

This is one of the few choruses that really pops through the murkiness of this album. Nothing too original from her sonically, but I think it's a solid single choice based on that alone.

[Hefty Hanna]

I think this is one of the only radio hits of the album.

This is the song for the 1989 and Midnights girlies, following the Taylor/Jack formula. Not single material but its a much-needed uptempo on the record.

This is such a grower

[Active Aggressive]

This is so catchy and also so dumb, so perfect single material, but in the bottom 2 for me.

We'll see a big decrease tomorrow because the first day of TTPD release will drop out of the rolling update.
