I mean, it's her 12th album. She had to make a shitty one at some point. Not every pancake is going to cook perfectly.

Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's shitty. I don't really listen to TS except or what's on the radio or when driving in the same car as my Swiftie friend but I listen to other musicians and have liked albums that other fans largely disliked. It's a matter of personal taste more than objective quality.

Cool, cool. Objective, subjective whatever. The fact is, no matter how long you've been in the industry as a pop star, no matter how successful you are or how much your fans love your work, there's going to be a point where you're going to release an album that isn't as well received as your past ones. And the more albums you release, the more likely it's going to occur. It might be a critical failure, it might be a commercial failure, it might just be something that's not as beloved by your fans. Maybe you tried something and it didn't work, maybe your music has gotten stale, maybe it wasn't the best time for the album to be released, it happens. Despite its success, a lot of people are underwhelmed by this record. You have the trilogy of Speak Now, Red & 1989 that were fairly well received on release and everything she's released since then, with maybe the exception of Folkmore, has had the same response since Reputation: the people who love it instantly and the people who need some time, and the people who view it as a major step down because it's not as good as either one of the trilogy or the album beforehand. It's not a personal failure to dislike a popular album. It's fine. One of my favourite albums of all time is a colossal flop that decimated the artist's career. I'm not a better or worse person just because I like that album more than whatever Life of a Showgirl was trying to achieve. It just seems rushed and poorly executed.
