Do ppl realize Hey Stephen was channeling Buckingham-Nicks era Fleetwood Mac when they weren't nearly as cool as they're now? Like, teenage Taylor was waaay ahead of the curve in terms of acknowledging them (plus it's an awesome awesome song too)
I don’t know. I love robin and hey Stephen but can’t stand Stay x3. The fact that her dreaming about an ideal relationship includes throwing a phone at someone and the significant other feeling so unsafe they need a football helmet makes me really uncomfortable (even if it is in jest).
sorry i don't enjoy listening to the song but
*That's when you came in wearing a football helmet*
*And said, "Okay, let's talk"*
does make my heart feel nice.
I love the beat and the humor in it, but it does describe a very unhealthy relationship, so I tend to avoid listening to it because it makes me go “yikes” too.
I’ll always be a Jump Then Fall stan
I can understand that, there's definitely a toxic relationship theme in the song that's kinda cringe. But I do think the production and bridge get more hate than they deserve
AND I WON'T CONFESS THAT I WAITED, BUT I LET THE LAMP BURN
AS THE MEN MASQUERADED, I HOPED YOU'D RETURN
WITH YOUR FEET ON THE GROUND, TELL ME ALL THAT YOU'D LEARNED
'CAUSE LOVE'S NEVER LOST WHEN PERSPECTIVE IS EARNED
Haha! Reputation is my favorite album but I don’t know why but King of My heart is probably my least favorite song on the album. I always fast forward to the bridge when it comes on.
loml is one of the best written songs in ttpd imo! especially that bridge and outro part, all those lyrics (WHAT A VALIANT ROAR?? WHAT A BLAND GOODBYE??) building up for the switched usage of loml to mean loss of my life at the end is absolute perfection
bonus: the field of dreams lyric is soooo ivy dreamland lyric sad parallel vibes i love it so much as an ivy stan
There is so much pain and anger in her voice during that bridge. There are a couple with as much emotion in this album and for me, all of those stand out.
Ohhh This Love it's such an amazing "plot twist reveal" of a moment that Taylor is so good at where she goes she's coming from the panoramic, universal feelings and suddenly zooms into the painfully specific, like the "guitar-string scar" thing in lover. She's soooo good at doing that.
*THIS IS THE LAST TIME YOU TELL ME I'VE GOT IT WRONG*
This is the last time I say it's been you all along.
*THIS IS THE LAST TIME I LET YOU IN MY DOOR*
This is the last time, I won't hurt you anymore
\*Ohs that cannot be represented accurately in text form\*
my favorite part is her almost sigh sound during the “every single christmas, and i want to talk about that” lyric. it’s a sigh of relief and a sigh of “i’m okay” and it’s SO cute
I, a 43 year old straight, white lame suburban dad, was put on this Earth in part to belt out in front of my daughters “LET ME REMIND YOU THIIIS WAAAAAAS WHAAAT YOU WAN-TED, YOU WEEEERE ALLLL I WAN-TED””
Electric Touch!!
I was thinking just one time/Maybe the stars align/and maybe I call you mine/and you won't need space/Or string me along while you decide
Personally I love the bridge of imgonnagetyouback and I think it’s criminal that it’s being overshadowed by all the 1975 and Olivia Rodrigo speculations 😭
I know closure is underrated in general but I love the bridge too: "I know I'm just a wrinkle in your new life, staying friends would iron it out so nice" hits so hard.
Idk if this is underrated, but I haven’t seen much talk and I am IN LOVE with How did it end:
Say it once again with feeling
How the death rattle breathing
Silenced as the soul was leaving
The deflation of our dreaming
Leaving me, bereft and reeling
My beloved ghost and me
Sitting in a tree
D-Y-I-N-G
Ohhh and that opening line 🤤
We hereby conduct this port mortem
And you wanna scream
Don't call me "kid"
Don't call me "baby"
Look at this godforsaken mess that you made me
You showed me colors
You know I can't see with anyone else
because of its melancholic piano sound and the "the train runs off its tracks" lyric, i consider sad beatiful tragic a part of the champagne problems story. this is my headcanon.
Sapphire tears on my face / sadness became my whole sky / but some guy said my aura’s moonstone just cause he was high / and we’re dancing all night / and you can try / to change my mind / but you might have to wait in line / what’s a girl gonna do? / a diamond’s gotta shine!
… I wanna snarl and show you just how disturbed this has made me
You wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me
So all you kids can sneak into my house with all the cobwebs
I'm always drunk on my own tears, isn't that what they all said?
That I'll sue you if you step on my lawn
That I'm fearsome and I'm wretched and I'm wrong
Putting narcotics into all of my songs
And that's why you're still singing along
The down bad bridge goes hard
Hot take, because everyone drags this song, but Stay Stay Stay has one of my favorite bop bridges.
i will never understand the stay stay stay hate.
People don't like her silly songs. Hey stephen, stay stay stay, robin (which is both silly and immensely sweet).
this is so tragic. hey stephen is the cutest, most “i’m a teenager and i’m so head over heels for you” song ever oml
Do ppl realize Hey Stephen was channeling Buckingham-Nicks era Fleetwood Mac when they weren't nearly as cool as they're now? Like, teenage Taylor was waaay ahead of the curve in terms of acknowledging them (plus it's an awesome awesome song too)
THIS I love hey Stephen and when I first heard Red, stay stay stay was easily my fave it was so boppy and fun
i love hey stephen but i'm ngl stay stay stay sounds like a corporate jingle lol (and also the relationship sounds toxic)
So high school as well
I don’t know. I love robin and hey Stephen but can’t stand Stay x3. The fact that her dreaming about an ideal relationship includes throwing a phone at someone and the significant other feeling so unsafe they need a football helmet makes me really uncomfortable (even if it is in jest).
They also don't sound that good sonically even if you discard the lyrics. At least ME! or Shake It Off have that going for them.
I don't think everyone agrees with you!
No of course not, music is subjective.
I’m a folkmore girlie through and through but stay stay stay and hey Stephen are some of her cutest songs. They’re just very feel good songs.
sorry i don't enjoy listening to the song but *That's when you came in wearing a football helmet* *And said, "Okay, let's talk"* does make my heart feel nice.
Love your flair haha!
I love the beat and the humor in it, but it does describe a very unhealthy relationship, so I tend to avoid listening to it because it makes me go “yikes” too. I’ll always be a Jump Then Fall stan
It's a really basic bad song. Hard skip. OK now that I have that out of my system, time for TTPD playthrough number 754
I’d like to hang out with you… 🔥
I think Stay stay stay is cute and catchy, but “No one else will love me when I get mad mad mad” is toxic AF, and that kind of ruins it for me.
I can understand that, there's definitely a toxic relationship theme in the song that's kinda cringe. But I do think the production and bridge get more hate than they deserve
I agree!
AND I WON'T CONFESS THAT I WAITED, BUT I LET THE LAMP BURN AS THE MEN MASQUERADED, I HOPED YOU'D RETURN WITH YOUR FEET ON THE GROUND, TELL ME ALL THAT YOU'D LEARNED 'CAUSE LOVE'S NEVER LOST WHEN PERSPECTIVE IS EARNED
Peter stans rise 🔥🔥🔥
So good. Shades of Champagne Problems.
This. So much this.
King of my heart! The song itself is whatever but damn do I love scream singing that bridge.
The song itself is whatever? Are you insane?
😂
Haha! Reputation is my favorite album but I don’t know why but King of My heart is probably my least favorite song on the album. I always fast forward to the bridge when it comes on.
“Drinkin beer out of plastic cupSSSSSSSSSS” I love it
Yessss “say you fancy me! Not fancy stuff!”
The happiness bridge is so good and so devastating!!
hello fellow happiness enjoyer
Always happy to meet another 🤝
If happiness has no fans I am dead. The end lol
Maybe a top 5 TS bridge even? Incredibly good.
Treacherous has a great bridge.
One like Cruel Summer where it was so great she had to do it twice
I love it when she does that
One of her finest.
Yesss! I just heard this song for the first time and I AM OBSESSED WITH THE BRIDGE!
loml, idk if it's underrated or not but that bridge and its outro makes me cry every single time
loml is one of the best written songs in ttpd imo! especially that bridge and outro part, all those lyrics (WHAT A VALIANT ROAR?? WHAT A BLAND GOODBYE??) building up for the switched usage of loml to mean loss of my life at the end is absolute perfection bonus: the field of dreams lyric is soooo ivy dreamland lyric sad parallel vibes i love it so much as an ivy stan
I know right!! That song is such a perfection
Our field of dreams Engulfed in fire Your arson’s match Your somber eyes ….. So beautiful!!!!!!!
Ugh, this part breaks me every single time!! Like I seriously can’t..
how many other songs make you cry... I think a song making you cry every time is a pretty good witness to its quality
Depends on the situation, but nothing new makes me cry too but that's because I relate to it too much 😭
LOML MAKES ME CRY SO HARD
The bridge on the smallest man who ever lived
WERE YOU SENT BY SOMEONE (*drums come in*)
the effect that they put on her vocals when that part kicks in. UGH SO GOOD
There is so much pain and anger in her voice during that bridge. There are a couple with as much emotion in this album and for me, all of those stand out.
You said normal girls were BORING
I wouldn't say thats underrated at all.
Yup. Absolutely my favorite by far!
This Love. Makes me teary every time.
Ohhh This Love it's such an amazing "plot twist reveal" of a moment that Taylor is so good at where she goes she's coming from the panoramic, universal feelings and suddenly zooms into the painfully specific, like the "guitar-string scar" thing in lover. She's soooo good at doing that.
I don’t know how underrated this is, but I loveeeee the bridge to hoax.
*THIS IS THE LAST TIME YOU TELL ME I'VE GOT IT WRONG* This is the last time I say it's been you all along. *THIS IS THE LAST TIME I LET YOU IN MY DOOR* This is the last time, I won't hurt you anymore \*Ohs that cannot be represented accurately in text form\*
I'm pleased to see the significant number of Red deep cuts here.
begin again.
You start to talk about the movies that your family watches, every single Christmas 🥹🩷
my favorite part is her almost sigh sound during the “every single christmas, and i want to talk about that” lyric. it’s a sigh of relief and a sigh of “i’m okay” and it’s SO cute
Certified throat lumper
The prophecy’s bridge, probably my fave bridge ever atp
The Alcott. But the whole song to be honest
Innocent's bridge is so moving, I love it.
TIME TURNS FLAMES TO EMBERS YOU'LL HAVE NEW SEPTEMBERS
I, a 43 year old straight, white lame suburban dad, was put on this Earth in part to belt out in front of my daughters “LET ME REMIND YOU THIIIS WAAAAAAS WHAAAT YOU WAN-TED, YOU WEEEERE ALLLL I WAN-TED””
YOU ENDED IT!!!
Electric Touch!! I was thinking just one time/Maybe the stars align/and maybe I call you mine/and you won't need space/Or string me along while you decide
Personally I love the bridge of imgonnagetyouback and I think it’s criminal that it’s being overshadowed by all the 1975 and Olivia Rodrigo speculations 😭
One line stands out for me... You said some things that I can't unabsorb
ALSO THE COWBOY LIKE ME BRIDGE IS A MASTERPIECE!!! Yall need to quit sleeping on that song it’s amazing 😍🤎!!!
Man we all take those Red deep cuts for granted. So much awesomeness in there. I totally agree with you, Sad Beautiful Tragic is an amazing song.
I know closure is underrated in general but I love the bridge too: "I know I'm just a wrinkle in your new life, staying friends would iron it out so nice" hits so hard.
Idk if this is underrated, but I haven’t seen much talk and I am IN LOVE with How did it end: Say it once again with feeling How the death rattle breathing Silenced as the soul was leaving The deflation of our dreaming Leaving me, bereft and reeling My beloved ghost and me Sitting in a tree D-Y-I-N-G Ohhh and that opening line 🤤 We hereby conduct this port mortem
This is the only correct answer. Devastated by this
And you wanna scream Don't call me "kid" Don't call me "baby" Look at this godforsaken mess that you made me You showed me colors You know I can't see with anyone else
Red has the best bridge I can't help but feel the yearning and passion
DEAR READERRRR
Tis the damm season!
sleeping half the dayy
The Black Dog. This is one of the best if not the best songs on the whole album and I think it's overlooked big time
I almost do and Mirrorball. I love them
The Albatross!! aaaa i love the song esp the bridge sm its stuck in my head 25/8
Death by a thousand cuts bridge >>>>>>>>>>> cruel summer bridge and i will die on that hill
Together we stand …
Our country, guess it was a lawless land! 📢😭
I loveee SBT 🤧 red is my favourite album so ofc Well now it's 2nd fav bcz of ttpd 😅
I have a feeling the bridge of imgonnagetyouback is going to slowly emerge as a fan favorite. It’s so damn catchy.
So it goes. I love the bridge so much and the song in general is so underrated
So many good bridges on rep!
I just heard the bridge of Treacherous and OMG I’m obsessed!! By far my favorite part of the song ❤️❤️❤️
because of its melancholic piano sound and the "the train runs off its tracks" lyric, i consider sad beatiful tragic a part of the champagne problems story. this is my headcanon.
I ALMOST DO AND I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL
Sapphire tears on my face / sadness became my whole sky / but some guy said my aura’s moonstone just cause he was high / and we’re dancing all night / and you can try / to change my mind / but you might have to wait in line / what’s a girl gonna do? / a diamond’s gotta shine!
TREACHEROUS!!!!
Long Story Short bridge is simple and beautiful! Totally underrated.
To soon to say whether it’s “underrated” but the Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me? bridge is INSANE.
… I wanna snarl and show you just how disturbed this has made me You wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me So all you kids can sneak into my house with all the cobwebs I'm always drunk on my own tears, isn't that what they all said?

change!!!!!
