@happywithoutjt and if I said one of the greatest R&B songs of all time through all metrics

a hit but let’s be real

@rlyTBR @Wiixxy_y @Averagewandafan I would argue she just isn’t trying to “prove” her capabilities anymore because she’s established herself now. She can still mix that high (Texas Hold Em’ Beyoncé Bowl) but she chooses not to sing on capital anymore as much

@Wiixxy_y @Averagewandafan It has and that is okay, it is not remotely her fault. Really evident examples of this: - She used to mix F5 and even F#5 with complete ease, nowadays she will often struggle above D5. - C6 used to come much easier for her in head voice

Entire timeline has been comparing Beyoncé to Mariah Carey ever since that clip dropped and honestly both sides are wrong in different ways Mariah in her prime was *not* a better vocalist than Beyoncé in hers HOWEVER Beyoncé's voice has been degrading since 2016 ... 1/2

@runningtopain I wasn’t born then so I’m still trying to figure out why ALL the pop/R&B girls specifically went alternative around 97-98, like genuinely what happened in those years specifically

Ray Of Light, The Velvet Rope, Homogenic and Mezzanine all dropped within 6 months… something else was in the air back then

@uncletwirl Troye Sivan started nibbling on the nachos ngl

he should have so many sons

@BeccaRBRoyalty and it’s ironically the only sound we can’t seem to revive successfully (besides finesse by Bruno)

New Jack Swing should have lasted longer as a genre. It reshaped late ’80s and early ’90s pop and R&B, but hip-hop’s shift toward grittier, sample-heavy sounds pushed it out of the mainstream by the mid-’90s. Janet Jackson and Michael Jackson helped carry their polished, crossover appeal to a global level, while Bobby Brown made it feel raw, street, and undeniable. You can still hear its DNA in today’s pop and R&B, even if the era itself was cut short.

@taypalite I can’t look at Mahogany without thinking about that Spotify video 😭

I say Midnights best cover and u say?

@thejunebugfreak talking about Internet dating in 1997 over an early alt-r&b beat you can’t make this up

Janet Jackson pretty much invented alternative r&b with “Empty”. that's why she remains the blueprint

@8EightPillars the same videos from 4-5 years ago, the bots in replies, cycle over and over again

Dead internet theory… this shit gotta be at least 4 yrs old

@pwonderstruck13 Red??

Oh and btw ttpd has the best title track in Taylor's discography

@wintersfigure @lifeofashow Ahh I didn’t know, thanks for the insight!

@pocuplifted @lifeofashow she went home for another classmate’s memorial during the eras tour and it’s the album of her life during the eras tour. she probably got reminded of that friendship then and the outro shows how she’s actioning those lessons in her life now

taylor should’ve saved ruin the friendship for ts13 and replaced it with a song using the poems’ concept like

@somewheretolost @300coffeslater Super Bowl is the only thing left tbh

@300coffeslater Which musical event is suitable for her besides a tour then?

is it just me or is taylor lowkey too big for Coachella....

@socasuallygay Ntm on Hoax she’s there to wrap up the story

she can release 5 invisibles, 5 hoaxes, 10 end games, 10 i forgot that you existeds, and 500 eldest daughters AND I WOULDNT GAFFFFF open.spotify.com/track/799KrpEb…

@meiziniangel DELETE DELETE😭😭

bring them back like now

@dreamstreett @an7body wait nah these are so tea especially the yellow fit

@an7body she was always hitting some stupid ass pose she irritates me so babdjfjddjdkfkfkfkf

this is fucking me all the way up

@deronworld I wonder why everything happened in 2001 with Sony (Glitter, Invincible, JLO) all around the same time

we all know why it didn’t get more. remember, it all goes back to #THAT man…

@1800clockit @thunderwarningg the light is coming ngl, it was the weirdest song of her career but in a good way

@thunderwarningg Lorde might be hammer tbh I’m trying to think about Ariana’s

most interesting/experimental song from each pop girl olivia: bad idea right taylor: state of grace/closure lorde: hard feelings/loveless sabrina: don’t smile gracie: none?? idk

@thunderwarningg tay is def False God/closure ngl it was the only time she got in her R&B bag

@deronworld and she ate too

😭 oh she really stole janet’s velvet rope nachos here…

@juwanpls I so agree, but tbh we wouldn’t have gotten hero or without you on the standard

This album would’ve been so good if he would’ve just let her make it how she wanted to.
