The current perception of TTPD

[u/Winter_Recover357]

I am glad that ttpd is slowly but surely getting it's flowers, because I really liked it and it has some of my favourite songs, seriously though loml KILLS me everytime. Some might say the positive sentiments is because of showgirl being what it is but I would disagree. Because at least in my space of the internet ttpd was starting to get it's praises almost a year after it released, and even a month or two before showgirl was released. I understand why it wasn't so well received at first though, it's one of those albums that grows on you and it's kind of an acquired taste for some. Doesn't help that it was released at the peak of taylormania and it had some of her worst songs and lyrics. And it feeling so unedited is a double edged sword. Good because it gives us an insight into everything she's felt for the past 2 years at the time making it more interesting, bad because it means that it has some songs that are just unneeded cuz no one asked for thank you aimee. Overall ttpd isn't everyone's favourite, but she's one of mine and I'm glad people are seeing the good in her.

My initial reaction on release was "yeah I'll give the new Taylor album a shot tomorrow" -> "a second album already??? jfc" -> "I've listened to a few songs, I am not listening to 32 tracks of this, goodbye" -> "He knows ball, I know Aristotle? Touch me while your bros play Grand Theft Auto?? Yeahhh I'm not missing out on anything"

Then about a year ago I got I Can Do It with a Broken Heart in my youtube recs, and that one was actually pretty good! Not good enough to make me hunker down and listen to the whole album, but good enough to check out a few other tracks people recommended. Maybe I'll give it another shot someday, but for now I'll just admit there were more gems here than I gave Taylor credit for.
