From longing for the old days to questioning the lyrics, it's clear the album has sparked intense debate. But here's where it gets controversial... 'What if you just called Joe Alwyn up?' the internet wonders. Editor's Note: We've sifted through the chaos to bring you the best of the viral tweets. Prepare for a whirlwind of opinions!
First off, fans are pondering the lyrics of Swift's new tracks and how they deviate from her well-known image. Take 'Wi$h Li$t,' for instance, which seems to critique the materialistic values of the rich, with Taylor seemingly yearning for a quieter life with Travis Kelce.
Some are underwhelmed by her love songs about Travis, particularly 'Wood,' which has garnered attention for its references to Travis's manhood. But wait, there's more: many are nostalgic for the love songs inspired by Joe Alwyn, thinking back to the tender lyrics of their past.
Controversy brews over Taylor's song 'Eldest Daughter,' which speaks of the struggles of being an oldest child, a topic that's at odds with her seemingly privileged upbringing. This has sparked discussions about the authenticity of her lyrics.
Taylor's admission of never checking social media contrasts sharply with her online lyrics, leading to a debate about the disconnect between her public persona and her creative work.
Her track 'Actually Romantic' has been a tough sell, with lines like 'I heard you call me 'Boring Barbie' when the coke's got you brave' sparking jokes and criticism.
Taylor's speaking and musical pauses have also been scrutinized, particularly in 'Wood,' where the beat following a risqué lyric has been highlighted.
The album's reception has been lukewarm at best, with many comparing it unfavorably to Swift's past work. Even the most die-hard fans are left questioning the purpose behind the album, with some speculating it's a case of 'performance art' and a calculated release of a 'bad album.'
Defenders of the album have faced backlash, with one fan being roasted for defending the creative risks taken by Swift.
A clip from Taylor's ex, Matty Healy, discussing billionaires has reemerged, fueling the debate about the album's relevance and the role of culture in the lives of the wealthy.
The internet has had a field day dissecting 'The Life of a Showgirl,' with many noting the sheer number of variations of the album that have been released.
