Yeah.

Here's a scathing review from a self-professed Swift fan.

How does someone who wrote a line like “You call me up again just to break me like a promise / So casually cruel in the name of being honest,” or “I should’ve kept every grocery store receipt / Because every scrap of you would be taken from me,” or “Take the words for what they are / A dwindling, mercurial high / A drug that only worked / The first few hundred times” end up writing, “Forgive me, it sounds cocky / He ah-matized me and opened my eyes / Redwood tree, it ain't hard to see / His love was the key that opened my thighs.”

Why is this such a lyrical disaster? Why doesn’t it show any of the intrigue or the artistry she’s managed to display in the past? Is it because Jack Antonoff was the secret sauce the whole time? Is it because she’s so dickmatized (“ah-matized,” as she self-censors it on “Wood”) by Travis Kelce that she forgot how to write? Is it because she’s happier now and she can only write when depressed? Is it because her ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn had more of a hand in the writing of Folklore and Evermore than we thought? Is it because Aaron Dessner wasn’t involved?

I'm sorry, are those first examples meant to be good? Like they're better than the new one no doubt but nowhere near great lyrics.

Swifties becoming self aware this year was not on my Bingo card.

are you telling me that human beings make shitty, unauthentic slop that's worse than a shitty idiot that fed something resembling an idea that they couldn't make because of their lack of musical capability into an ai promt? I'm shocked shocked at this!

Well not that shocked, since pop music has been recycling tin pan alley songs since the dawn of time.

I thought I liked music but thinking I might never be able to connect four different related names to an artist

(Then again suppose I don’t like music enough to be able to review it)
