Dear Taylor,
It was a long three years, and we Swifties have finally listened to the long-awaited and highly anticipated album, "Reputation".
The ~new~ Taylor was witnessed, and your loyal fans have come to a verdict.
It’s time to review your once-worshiped and now-confused reputation.
Taylor Swift, are you “...Ready for It?”
1. Thanks for finally streaming "Reputation" ~weeks~ after the release date.
Apple Music? Not yet. Spotify? Too soon. Make fans spend $20 on the album on top of being subscribed to streaming services? Just right! That might be perfect for you, business-woman Taylor, but my bank account is currently in a state of crisis thanks to your new image.
2. Let’s chill with the advertisements.
One moment you're a proud supporter of Apple Music, and the next second you have your own exclusive channel on AT&T. I’m a broke teenage girl, who doesn’t need 835 unnecessary subscriptions, Taylor. Sorry that my love and support is not ~affluent~ enough for you.
3. The new Taylor doesn’t know how to choose good singles.
"Look What You Made Me Do", "...Ready for It?", "Gorgeous" and "Call It What You Want"?Skip, please. However, "End Game", "Delicate", "Getaway Car" and "King of My Heart"? Turn it up. The rest of the album is ~fire,~ Taylor.
4. Who are you so mad at?
You’re a white, blonde-haired, blue-eyed, model-like singer with a net worth of over $280 million. Time to let Kanye and your ex-lovers go, and focus on dedicating your time to relevant topics that are worth putting your energy into.
5. The old Taylor couldn't dance, and the new one can't either.
Let’s calm down, wanna-be Beyoncé. Seriously. You're a singer for a reason.
6. Among all the chaos and fame, just be yourself.
Your songs speak volumes, Taylor. You have absolutely no one that you need to prove yourself to. All the "old Taylors" might have passed away in the "Look What You Made Me Do" music video, but they are who shaped you. As much as you wander, your fans will always bring you back to your well-respected and classic roots, and hopefully, the new Taylor will realize that soon.
With love for all the Taylors,
Swifties everywhere
P.S. The tough love that is displayed in the letter is simply an expression of the frustration that Swifties have tragically felt since the release of "Reputation" on Nov. 10. We love you, Taylor, but we’re just a little confused as to what you’re doing.
"There will be no further explanation. There will just be reputation."
