What are some songs that everyone loves that you just don’t get?

Disclaimer: I don’t necessarily DISLIKE these songs, but I just don’t understand the obsession with them.

Here are some of mine. I’m ready to start some fights lmao

  1. the Archer - this song bores me idk. I’ve tried to like it because it’s a track 5, but I just can’t

  2. State of Grace- just never did it for me

  3. New Romantics- don’t me wrong this song is fun, but it’s def not the best on 1989 by a long shot

  4. King of My Heart- btw I think every song on reputation is a bop, but same reasoning with New Romantics I just don’t think it’s even in the top 5

  5. happiness- I love the message but it’s BORING sorry

  6. afterglow/ daylight - just eh. I included these songs together because they are two on lover that I always forget about

What are some for y’all?

picks State of Grace by the hand, gently pulls the song aside and meticulously checks for wounds. DON’T listen to them, honey!

I know! I love most of his work with Taylor and it isn't a bad song, it just doesn't do it for me for some reason lol. So much shame.

Hahaha all the ones you mentioned are all the ones I love!!

I can’t really think of ones that everyone else loves, but I think one the fandom is divided on is “Coney Island”. Some people love it and I just can’t get into it. I’ve tried to hard as well!! I just can’t. Maybe one day it’ll click.

Also- End Game. My Swiftie friend loves it but I will skip it 95% of the time. I find the “big reputation!!” part gets super repetitive and it starts to annoy me lol.

  1. Screaming “I pulled your body into mine every goddamn night, now I get fake niceties” is CATHARTIC.

That is very fair

Those are some fighting words. I’m with you on 1, 2 and 5. Do you feel that the songs don’t have an impact or personal connection to you?

For me, if I can’t relate to it, it’s hard to love it the way everyone else does. I personally do not love Dear John, Enchanted, Clean and almost all of Red. This doesn’t mean I dislike them, I definitely appreciate them, lyrically and sonically, but it’s not on repeat for me.

I agree I don’t really relate to them. But I still have an appreciation for them. Happiness specifically I think is a beautiful lyrically and I love the message and perspective, but I’m not crazy about the song

Dancing with our hands tied. I just can’t get into it. The beat feels weird

That song is definitely better acoustic

Sad, Beautiful, Tragic & Ronan like they’re nice songs like all of them but I absolutely never listen to them and probably wouldn’t even recognize it if she played them at a show. I am one of those Coney Island Stans.

Cornelia Street. I don’t dislike it, but I just don’t see why so many fans have it so high up in their Lover rankings.

Same, until I had some 🍃and listened to the Paris version and then it all made sense. Now the OG sounds like a parody of the real song.

i can respect all except 1 and 5 but that’s bc i’m the #1 lover stan, i think the archer has some amazing lyrics and is a really powerful ballad, also it has a level of fantasy and magic that made lover so good, when i listen to lover it feels like i’m listening to a happier more fantastical take on life, imo the archer fits into the themes of the album and the love story of joe and taylor perfectly, and the lyrics are just amazing.

Afterglow i actually don’t have any strong opinions on, i think it’s good, but i think daylight is amazing, it’s the perfect closer for Lover, and the lyrics “i used to believe love was burning red / but it’s golden” makes it just an automatic win for me, that’s gorgeous the way her entire perception of love changed from red (very interesting to directly reference her older work to describe how she and her relationships have changed/grown), again, i think it fits perfectly into the album as a closer and adds so much to the story being told

EDIT: didn’t even respond to your question lol sorry i just had to defend the best album to ever be made, i personally dont “get” clean because i think i don’t relate to it, and honestly a lot of 1989 songs, i think theyre peppy and fun and perfect summer singles, but i just don’t relate and her older stuff like lover, folklore, rep, etc are more my speed

Forever & Always

I don’t hate it per se, and I did come to like it more after listening to re-recorded Fearless, but it’s not even a top 5 song for me on this album.

The Archer is literally my number 1 skip on Lover. Even songs like Me and You Need to Calm Down have grown on me but something about The Archer just really turns me off.

I also don’t dislike Daylight but I hate it ending with a voice note.

anntheog•

I love all of these. Personally i don't like bad blood at all

5
missdabusOP•

I don’t think bad blood is that liked by the fandom tbh. From what I’ve seen I think a lot of people aren’t fans

5
grababably•

something about bad blood is so weirdly overplayed, even though i haven’t heard it in public/on the radio since 2014, but i feel that way about a lot of her 1989 songs

SylviaWrath69•

Out of the Woods is definitely my least favorite Taylor song, hands down. “Are we out of the woods yet are we out of the woods yet are we out of the woods yet” over and over and over I can’t.

That being said, I still sing along when it comes on lmao

Bitter-Lock-4057•

I agree with you about the archer and daylight. I usually like her slower songs but something about those two I just can’t get into.

Since we agree on those two I’ll forgive you for saying that about king of my heart and happiness, those are some of my absolute favorites of hers 😭

3
missdabusOP•

I really do like king of my heart!! Seeing her perform it on the live tour did make me appreciate it more. I just think there are other songs on reputation that surpass it

And I think happiness is a beautiful song lyrically but music wise is just too dull for me to listen to multiple times

mermaid_k•

State of Grace and Holy Ground to me are sort of boring tbh

King of my Heart ... when people talk about loving the bridge I literally don’t believe them

3
missdabusOP•

I think it’s a good song but i think there are many more songs on rep that are more deserving of the hype

the archer, enchanted, dear john, all too well (im sorry)
