Support NeoGAF

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

She's a damn opportunist and is obviously using the situation to her advantage against Katy.

She's ruthless.

Payday 2 is also free on Steam. Coincidence?

 

[CaviarMeths]

Gee whiz half the thread is calling her a snake, vile, etc. Is Pop-GAF always this bloodthirsty? Ya'll take this shit so seriously.

 

[BunnyBear]

Also Swift memes remain hilarious

Where's the funny part?

 

[Professor Beef]

She's ruthless.

It's just business.

Actually most people in here I dont see them on PopGAF.

 

[ZeoVGM]

Yikes

Yeeeeesh

It is, in fact, quite shocking that a pop album can have so many good songs. I agree with you both.

 

[Khaos Kontrol]

This was the best pop album of the decade, hands down.

Teenage Dream, California Gurls, Last Friday Night, Firework, ET, Peacock, Hummingbird Heartbeat, Wide Awake etc. Just phenomenal.

Damn, I don't think I've seen a statement on this forum that was so wrong.

PopGaf is worse than PoliticsGaf.

Just let that sink in.

Then realise that this isn't a PopGaf thread, it's a spin off. This is CasualPopGaf.

 

[catmincer]

Woo 1989 is available now. I only like one song being Clean but it's great.

 

[Kickz]

🐍 🐍 🐍

 

[TalentAlwaysWins]

Ariana Grande and Rihanna ended her

It's great that you stand by your pop queen but the best pop album of the decade is E·MO·TION and it's not even a close race.

 

[jwk94]

I take it this means Google Play Music too. If so, nice.

I don't think they ever left. 1989 isn't up though smh. Guess I'll never listen to that album.

 

[amaretto]

Sad to see Katy getting her clock cleaned like this after dominating the pop scene with TD/Prism.

 

[brianjones]

we
Are
Never ever ever
getting back
Together

 

[Chuckie]

we
Are
Never ever ever

Together

 

[Symphonic]

"Thanks" her fans by putting her music back on all streaming services

lol

Brb gonna take away my family's dinner so they can show their thanks later

 

[PartTimeWarrior]

She can keep it. What Spotify needs is Lemonade not 1989.

Beyonce is nothing but a Taylor Swift ripoff

 

[SteveO409]

HEADS UP!! its on there now

 

[Carn82]

throw in Side B as well. Higher is my jam!

Altough I do think that Swift's Style is a great track.

 

[slider]

Good for people who, erm, this effects.

I wanna know when Neil Young is gonna be back. C'mon...

 

[RoadHazard]

Yay.

 

[Benzychenz]

Hell yeah, gonna give them another listen tonight.

Best pop songs around.

 

[AllGamer]

Never missed her. The new Rise Against album came out today, that's more important.

 

[BigDug13]

Spotify being only $5 a month for college students caused me to finally jump in.

Really enjoy the service. I just wish they worked on their "radio" service a bit. When I hit thumbs down, don't keep playing that fucking artist. Especially when I've thumbs downed 8 of his songs when I'm trying to have a Marci Gras playlist for a Mardis Gras party and this Christian easy listening Sax guy keeps coming back to dampen the mood.

What's the point of thumbs down if it doesn't actually do anything?

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

Uh oh! I have some news for you

....holy shit, albums have metacritics?!

 

[BigDug13]

....holy shit, albums have metacritics?!

If something has reviews, of course it has metacritics. And music has had reviews for forever.

 

[Aiii]

Guess that streaming money doesn't stink anymore.

Oh no, it's to "celebrate" and totally not a backpedal on her "it's piracy" stance.

 

[texhnolyze]

So.. her songs back to Spotify only for tonight, or starting tonight?

 

[SteveO409]

its up right now if you're in US

What's wrong with politics GAF?

 

[Dr. Black Jack]

basic bitches everywhere rejoicing

 

[ThanksVision]

Red on repeat.

 

[NHarmonic.]

Friendly reminder to get into Lana Del Rey

You keep trying on this thread and no one cares.

Swift >> lana everyday, forever.

 

[Brewmont]

I'll agree that Teenage Dream is the most solid pop album. Honorable mention for Emotion, but that album was a juggernaut. People dismissing that here are hilarious.

The album ain't good

Teenage Dream not Emotions

Emotions is good

 

[ZeoVGM]

The album ain't good

Teenage Dream not Emotions

Emotions is good

It is good. Again, downplaying it is silly. That album was a complete monster.

 

[old manatee]

I kind of love that she did this to try and fade Katy Perry, even though I think Perry is a way better pop star. Taylor has been permanently rebranded as a snek in my mind, and the more she leans into it the more I like her.

 

[Falchion]

Fuck yes! I'll be boping to Carly Rae Jepson and Taylor all summer.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

In celebration of selling shit tonnes of copies to many people who'd have streamed it otherwise now you can stream it.

Yay?

 

[ZeoVGM]

I fully expect her to change her image completely with the next album. It's why she's stayed out of the public eye for so long.

She's going to drop a single this fall and enter the Christina Aguilera "Stripped" era of her career.

 

[BlitzKeeg]

1989 is a pretty mediocre pop album. (Which makes it better then 90% of Pop Radio by defult) Although its secretly a killer Big Band/Swing Album.

Big Band? I haven't really listened to 1989 because I can't stand Swift's music, but since when did she ever do big band? I thought she only did mediocre contemporary pop that everyone loves because it's built to sound good to as many people as possible with little effort.

Here is some quality big band.

basic bitches everywhere rejoicing

That pretty much sums it up.

 

[Trojita]

Taylor created original sin when she had Eve eat the apple.

 

[Zyae]

1989 is a pretty mediocre pop album. (Which makes it better then 90% of Pop Radio by defult) Although its secretly a killer Big Band/Swing Album.

However Both Swift and Perry havent really done anything close to their early breakout albums. (Perry with One of the boys & Teenage Dream. Swift with Fearless and Speak Now)

I dont think you know what Big Band/Swing means

 

[Vazra]

I dont think you know what Big Band/Swing means

My thoughts exactly.

 

[Erebus]

Right on time for my summer playlists.

 

[ZeoVGM]

... Big band/swing?

wat.

 

[jts]

Spotify getting dem late ports.

God DAMN all of that is from the same album?

She really did run shit.
