NO!

Exactly. It also buys into the regressive assumption that a female pop star’s male producer is responsible for the quality of her work. Usually it cuts the other way with the producer getting credit for successes, but “it’s Jack Antonoff’s fault these pop albums aren’t good” is just as crummy.

This article seems to be 70% Anti-Antonoff and 30% anti-pop.

This. Also, with all its faults, Reputation is a lot more fun than her post-Lover stuff thus far, but I may be in the minority; I just like bright dumb pop music, as opposed to the kind of "deeper meaning" music we're supposed to like. 

This article is forgetting that Antonoff also produced large parts of the wildly acclaimed predecessors to Solar Power and COTCC, Melodrama and Norman Fucking Rockwell. I’m not saying he’s perfect or that I’m a huge fan, but clearly there’s a reason why these artists want to work with him, and the idea that he’s some…

The amount of fake concern for her well-being regarding the conservatorship is disgusting.

How has anyone over the age of 5 not heard “Crazy in Love”? That’s like never having heard “Hey Jude” or “Billie Jean”. Just unfathomable.

Anyone watching Grey’s right now, (yes we still exist) can tell you cameos from former cast members are possible during a pandemic, even if you’re filming a show in another country. There’s no good excuse here. One of the sides, or both, didn’t want it to happen.

It’s 2021. Could they really not clip together and CGI a Fiona appearance? Even a brief one? Even a sort of hallucination/ghost interacting with Frank? Yes, Covid may be a genuine reason it couldn’t happen, but having Covid exist in world, you could have even just had Emmy Rossum do a Zoom call.

I enjoy bttf 3 quite a bit. It's fun!

I will gladly defend BTTF 3.  To me its more enjoyable then 2.

Maybe read some other reviews.

Folklore fits really badly into genre categories. They stuck it in pop, but, well.. So it is a very strong album, but if asked if it was the best pop album of the year, voters vent “wha?” 

Ok. Overdue, but I’m done. For those who haven’t gotten there already, it’s time to move past the comfort of ambiguity and on to processing (or not processing) Allen’s films as the work of a depraved individual whose sicknesses and entitlement was supported by money, power, and the perpetuation of a personal myth. The…

The only good season of that show was the first one.  I will die on that hill.

The exact quote from Bella is “This is why I be hating straight white guys,” not “single white guys.” An important distinction, in my mind at least.

Jesus Christ. Can we stop judging this work – which feels thoughtful, not over-thought, and considered, not calculated – on our assumptions about its maker? I don’t believe there’s any ‘board meetings’ here, just a woman with the talent and, yes, the contacts and resources to do whatever the fuck she wants, on her own…

She doesn’t need to be; Joni Mitchell is Joni Mitchell, and no other artist will be the same. Taylor Swift is Taylor Swift and she is her own unique artist. Joni Mitchell has many illustrious years ahead of Swift, but that doesn’t mean they can’t exist in the same musical world.

I would say that there are a lot of people out there, like me, who really like the idea of Taylor Swift and have utter respect for her obvious talents yet are turned off by all the Max Martin styled poppiness of her recent work. These people are the type who know 1989 more through the Ryan Adams version of it it or…
