The year is 2037. Taylor Swift’s new single Fill Me With Your Ball Juice has just spent 12 weeks at number one.
Any swifties here to verify this?

I mean, that title sounds like it’s in the same ball park as WAP. As long as they’re not getting exploited, more power to em.
Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 weeks ago
I suppose the equivalent of WAP by then will sound like it was written by Jay from The Inbetweeners.

Are those the actual lyrics?
TheBat@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
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?

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

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.

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? 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)
UnsavoryMollusk@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Yes

The lyric from dress is about a dress. But if the lyric from wood is about wood, then that’s one long fucking dick
aesthelete@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
It probably works with both meanings (and is a bit cringey because of that), but I kinda read it as she’s talking about him overall as being kind of a redwood tree…which would make sense, because he’s 6’5" tall and 250lbs. That’s a pretty massive dude…probably from both angles.

So Travis is packing (is his name Travis?). I’m suddenly invested again.
Sc00ter@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
Sigh… i cant believe im about to write this.
Conspiracy Swifties believe the song Wood, being about Travis’ dick, is song #9 on the album because he’s 9 inches. Additionally, the song is 2:30, and 23 cm is 9 inches.

Now that is some number conspiracy I can get behind!

I have bigger things to worry about than conspiracy cock.

My girls a Swifty, says this one and a few others on the album are perma skips but there’s ones she likes on there. She did have me listen to two of the ones she didn’t like and I can confirm, pretty mid songs overall

Why would that be a problem now? I thought western song is full of this when you actually read the lyrics.

Back in my day we only had music about wholesome topics like giving women jewelry (“she want a pearl necklace”).
Sirius006@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
Some others were about how much they love diamonds (in the sky)
TheBat@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Both lyrics are implying sex but the latest album is rated mid by most, at least from what I’ve heard.
WolfLink@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
The bottom line is simply a lamer line IMO

It’s pretty bad. It genuinely sounds like it was written by AI.
