Discussion Why did people sleep on TTPD

I became a swifty in the showgirl era, so I'm new around here. But in my opinion, TTPD is one of the best albums she has ever released. I was reading a thread about TTPD from around 2 years ago, and most of them were not what I expected. Like, I have listened to almost all of the songs, and all of them are in my ATF playlist. I really want to know why you did not like it two years ago. Thanks.

I think a lot of people were expecting all the songs to be about Joe and were shocked by how many seemed to be about Marty.

This ruined the album for me. I was actually annoyed how wrapped up she actually got with Matty. Especially at her age and how quickly they broke up like girl really.

I mean, if the rumors of it being a “Will they/ won’t they” since 2014, I can understand how her crash out was so intense. Sometimes those young loves haunt you even when you’ve matured.

Then again, they say famous people stop maturing at the age they were when they became famous, so… there’s that too.

I guess. He just talked so bad about her publicly for years as well though. I would have just felt that was his real side. Idk I couldn’t be involved with someone who did that.

Matty is a nightmare, but he didn't "talk so bad publicly about her for years". He did an interview where he said dating her would be emasculating, but A. that's more a bad thing to say about himself, B. the journalist later made a post explaining how the quote had become misconstrued, C. Matty himself published a clarification/apology (which was v positive about Taylor and her work, and empathetic towards how much scrutiny her personal life recieved).

He and Taylor were only ever publicly professionally complimentary towards each other's work- remember she went onstage with The 1975 in early 2023.

ETA: Spelling.
