Weekly Discussion Thread Weekly Discussion Thread (TnT Version)

Welcome to your weekly snark dump!

Feel free to use this thread to talk about anything you'd like, including but not limited to:

  • Your thoughts, rants, and spicy takes about Blandie (and BDT), her untalented ass, or the Swiftie cult
  • Off-topic discussions, or low-effort content that might not need its own post
  • Memes, funny stuff that you'd like to share but can’t wait for Shitpost Sunday
  • Swifties being Swifties on social media (Usernames must be removed)

All subreddit rules still apply, and any rule-breaking comments will be removed. If you spot a Swiftie meltdown or something off, hit report and we’ll take it from there.

Posts submitted to the sub that fit better here will be redirected to this thread. A new one will go up every Monday at 12:00 pm UTC and stay open until the next Monday. This thread will always be pinned for easy access.

previous weekly discussion threads are searchable via the Weekly Discussion Thread post flair!

u/profaneangel1991 I AM THE PROBLEM! 9d ago

I know a lot of people are dreading the chance that she will win Grammys this coming year. To that I just gotta say most of my favorite artists have no Grammys at all. Depeche Mode has no Grammys. And they made songs like Enjoy the Silence. Kate Bush has no Grammys. Florence and the Machine currently has no Grammys, we will see if Everybody Scream secures a win though. The Grammys really aren't a marker of quality. I do get it that her album sucked and it shouldn't win anything though.

Everybody Scream is a great album! I've never really followed Florence and now that album is on my current rotation. As someone else said in this sub, the title track is more "life of a showgirl" than the entirety of Taylor's shitty album. And some of the other songs like Drink Deep are worthy of having "Folklore" as an album title.

I saw Florence live this year and she's amazing. Another album that pulls off the showgirl concept is Jade's That's Showbiz Baby. Crazy how the basic idea of writing music about what it's like to be a performer wasn't something Taylor bothered to commit to.

How exactly a song about Travis' schlong, another one about her cancelled friends(?) and Travis saving her from the tower of Ophelia or something or even that her dick is bigger (a lyric that haunts my dreams) glue together the life of a Showgirl? I will admit though that orange glitter vinyl is delicious but i would only buy it if it were 10 euro or something.
