[@94mp99]

People in my country complain that this album sounds too much similar to folklore, evermore, and Midnights, and beg Taylor to release some pop bangers like 1989 and Lover again (or, in fact, they want Taylor to release songs like Blank Space, Style, and Cruel Summer again, if they being honest). But in my opinion, TTPD is the album that focus on lyrics and story-telling, which, in that matter, I say this is one of her best. And I see TTPD as a younger sister to Red, folklore, and evermore, in term of lyrics and context.

[@LimeSlimeee]

This is one of her best written albums and it's definitely in my top 5

[@Sept1973]

All these basic people complaining because they expect a boppy album pffft so empty, TTPD is absolutely pure lyrical brilliance it only gets better with every listen and you learn what each song is communicating she is incredible and she is an artist this album was obviously a cathartic exercise for her its so raw and real and vulnerable its some of her best work.

Yawn 🥱

[@volffiee]

⁠​⁠@@TigerVids531sorry but most of the lyrics on this album are far from being poetry.. i wonder if people who say that ever read real poetry lmao

[@raheemabdoul8480]

Its going to debut at 1 and its going to have a number 1 single

[@itsjustjaydenandgames1262]

Ur right

[@SmartGuy248]

I got the album on CD yesterday and it's the Albatross version, making it the second album I've got this year and the first from this year.

0:20 she actually changed her profile to that after she announced the album but she did change her profile pictures to black and white but not that specific photo

1.6 million units on its first day!!!? Crazy omg hate it or love it, Taylor swift is the music industry

[@shawncarter5434]

The Music Industry is a reach. Not when they have been other artists doing this for years especially in the 90s

[@Coney.island]

@shawncarter5434 no album in history has done what this album has done.. like 313 million streams in 24 hours! That's absolutely insane

[@CesareCamprini]

[@fan7708]

@@Coney.islandThriller sold 6 million first week. Adele sold 3 million first week. Britney and NSYNC sold 2 million first week. Also, they’re albums don’t just have strong first week sales they were able to sustain it and go diamond within the first year unlike someone😭 Difference: They album sold based on the quality, impact on album and artist. Taylor only sells bc her name, promotions and cult. Plus first week sales be so manipulated when you find out how they really work.

[@Coney.island]

@user-uy6wb1wi3z I don't know how to explain it to you but if another artist releases an album with 31 tracks, believe me they won't get 313 million streams in a single day

[@iamahumanbro13]

I don’t understand why midnights flopped so much, it had the production, commercial success, lyricism, beat, synth and a catchy lead single, so why did it flop?

[@WeatherIsFun]

It didn't flop. It became her most successful album! More than 1989!

[@94mp99]

@@WeatherIsFun I won't say Midnights is more successful than 1989, considering that 1989 has more successful singles than Midnights. But Midnights is definitely not a flop, I say it is Taylor's second most successful album behind 1989.

[@WeatherIsFun]

@@94mp99 That's fair.

[@Luhvpluto]

In the last scene on fortnight mv , taylor look like her reputation mv ...ready for it? U can see the hair for example

[@thomasyewcic3520]

I’m going to go out on a limb and say it’s because she’s released like 8 albums in the past four years and swifties will literally listen to anything she puts out even if it’s a fart. It makes me sad because I used to love Taylor but she really is the most greedy artist out there right now.

[@94mp99]

Do you know what kind of four albums out of eight you mentioned she released really is? Sorry to you, but it can't help that Taylor Swift is a hugh and high-demand artist nowadays.

[@voltaksa]

TTPD is lyrically great but sonically bland. For comparison of her other “lyrical” album, Folklore and Evermore has great lyrics and better sounding

[@Glimglum0]

True.... I got fed up with Jack's production and needed more i mean MORE listens to digest it... And Aaron did so much better at capturing the sound of the album....

[@LimeSlimeee]

It's definitely up there with folklore and evermore when it comes to lyrics tho

[@artistrankings6794]

thats why its still below folklore and evermore for me, but the only pop album its lower than is 1989 for me

[@firealphaplayz7064]

The original edition acc to me has real good sounding, it got a little repetitive in the anthology part

[@kidkrowtaylor]

as a mega swiftie, i liked a few songs but there was no big strong standout huge track like what cruel summer was for lover. i will give it something tho, the lyrics are what standout on the album.

[@94mp99]

This album is more like folklore and evermore, in my opinion, being a lyrical album.

[@Arjana-vs9wo]

I’m a swiftie but I didn’t like the album . So empty and with no big strong commercial track . The songs are kinda all the same.

[@khasanfarkhodov1620]

I agree I was so disappointed I wish she would’ve released Reputation TV 😢

[@Cookie-dr6iq]

Well it's good to finally hear a Swiftie being honest about the album. I totally agree with you , the album is dull and boring.

[@manuc9824]

I thought so too on my first listen. But it turns out that album just is not an instant grab. It took a few listens to grow on me and now i love it soo much

[@lalixc.13]

I thought so too. Yet the songs still get stuck in my head 💀

[@tekken4granted913]

I understand you gals but in my opinion, she had written so much that she has to release it regardless if it'll chart or not. But I love it. It didn't appeal to me especially the Jack tracks but I'm happy we are blessed of brand new material from her.

[@Landiiana]

It’s with folklore her best album. You can hear Lana's influence in each song

[@zeitgeist7788]

Her biggest album? Hell no. I'm a Taylor Swift fan but this was a disappointment. It's like a wannabe folklore/evermore. Folklore has such an amazing storytelling and it's so spellbinding, and this one is lacking something.

[@kintsugi149]

Listen to it more.

[@iamambitious2910]

its boringggggg expect down man

[@TigerVids531]

Especially the anthology. But this is her biggest album yet garnering 243 million streams but it's not her best album. I think it's generally more cohesive than Lover but Lover have songs that are ok in its own unlike TTPD. This album is a 6/10 for me. It met my low expectations.
