15. No, the review of the album is the point. Read the post I replied to.

"Reviews i have heard say it's areally good album.
Like every album ever produced there is at least one song that's meh. Her fans are going gaga over this album.
So not sure where cnn is getting it's info?"

Oooh, CNN is "being mean" about a billionaire. Call the junior high school hotline!!!

More opinion - BBC radio had the president and VP of a university Swift fan club lined up to talk about it a few hours after the release, and they both said "yeah, not one of her best" https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m002k4p3 (from about 2 hr 55 mins).

I can see your point about the "text interview". But trying to marry that to an article quoting some mixed reviews of a new album is a Mr. Fantastic-level stretch.

I get it SocialDemocrat61 Oct 2025 #18

I'm indifferent to Swift's music. What I find comical is the idea that repeating mediocre reviews muriel_volestrangler Oct 2025 #19

That is all wrong SocialDemocrat61 Oct 2025 #20

I really think you need to sit down and think about "hate", and what it actually means muriel_volestrangler Oct 2025 #21

I think you need to realize this is about CNN, not a pop star SocialDemocrat61 Oct 2025 #22

This is the first time you've mentioned that "open season" remark muriel_volestrangler Oct 2025 #23

It's both the post and the title of the article SocialDemocrat61 Oct 2025 #24

No, it isn't. The title is "Finally, everyone can say bad things about Taylor Swift" muriel_volestrangler Oct 2025 #25

The fact that you refuse to accept that this is about CNN SocialDemocrat61 Oct 2025 #26

LOL. muriel_volestrangler Oct 2025 #27
