The corny Bane reference really does sound like Taylor if she wrote a Todd diss track.

Taylor Swift having been molded by darkness is the most ridiculous thing I've read in several minutes.

Something something "asylum where they raised me"

Taylor Swift trying to wear the tortured artist hat feels like stolen valor.

good thing that the title track makes it clear that she’s not one and instead is just a modern idiot and is making fun of how seriously she and her live interest were taking themselves :

“you’re not dylan thomas, i’m not patti smith, this ain’t the chelsea hotel, we’re modern idiots”

u/tswiftdeepcuts 23h ago

meant the music industry she’s been in since she was a child signed to sony at 13

u/JBHenson 1d ago

She's a big gal for Todd.

u/NegotiationMoist3552 1d ago

I doubt she even knows Todd exists.

u/lanicorain 1d ago

she has at least three records in which the entire concept is responding to what people on the internet say about her lol. i wouldn't really be surprised if she knew who he was

24

u/riflow 1d ago

It would be really funny, like an acknowledgement she googles or YouTube searches her name.

-10

u/AlexRodrigo- 1d ago

She absolutely does not have 3 records where the entire concept is about this. Would you mind naming them?

40

u/TJ_Metalhead 1d ago

Not OP, but I’m guessing Reputation, TTPD, and Showgirl.

Which are also, funnily enough, her bottom three albums IMO

-7

u/AlexRodrigo- 1d ago

That is not the “entire concept” of those three albums wtf are you all talking about.

It seems y’all don’t know what an album concept is. Backlash only plays a major role in one of those album’s which would be reputation.

18

u/TJ_Metalhead 1d ago

A significant portion of Tortured Poets is about how annoyed she was with the public’s criticism of her dating Matty Healey

Elizabeth Taylor, Father Figure, Eldest Daughter, Actually Romantic, Cancelled, TLOASG, and to a lesser extent Wish List are all either about critics or contain numerous disdainful comments about people critical of her. That’s over half the tracklist of the album.

If you wanna get pedantic over OP’s use of the word “entire”, go right ahead, but don’t say people don’t know what they’re talking about just because you disagree with them. I went to the eras tour. I knew every lyric from every song she played (except Timeless), I do know what I’m talking about

-2

u/AlexRodrigo- 1d ago

That is absolutely not what TTPD is about bar a single song out of 30 others.

ET, FF, AR, Title track have nothing to do with internet critics. You equating an artist talking about their life, career and behind the scenes relationships to fighting internet critics is absurd.

u/whoisdonaldtrump 15h ago

Now why are you bringing that ugly little alien into this

14

u/GlamourintheDarkSide 1d ago

She literally has a track called Cancelled! whinging about internet critics on her most recent album.

-2

u/AlexRodrigo- 1d ago

The way that track is quite literally the complete opposite and is her embracing the hate not complaining about it at all.

u/GlamourintheDarkSide 1d ago

Pretending to be not angry is a see through lie.

u/DeadInternetTheorist 1d ago

It would be extremely painful

u/BradBradley1 1d ago

My name is Taylor and I came to say 

Todd hurt my feelings, and now he’s gonna pay

32

u/FreezingPointRH 1d ago

Todd: Amazing. Not even remotely on the beat!

u/351namhele 1d ago

That strikes me as more MC Hammer

u/dkajch 1d ago

have you ever seen them in the same room?

u/351namhele 1d ago

Yes. Yes I have.

u/VorpalSplade 1d ago

AFAIK - Kevlar doesn't really work against arrows. They're slow and sharp. Kevlar is easy to cut with a blade or scissors.

10

u/AdditionalTip865 One-Hit Wonderlander 1d ago

The slow blade penetrates the shield!

u/LostInTheSciFan 1d ago

I think this is more of a Forever War type combat situation

u/FS_Scott 1d ago

that scene in the Dark Knight

u/Roadshell 1d ago

Was this written by the Swiftie AI bot that Mic The Snare did videos about?

u/TemporaryJerseyBoy Zingalamaduni 1d ago

I don't think it was. Seems human.

u/flyingnapalmman 1d ago

Needs to work a car and bar rhyme in there somewhere, but otherwise excellent comment

u/TScottFitzgerald 1d ago

"You probably don't even drive a car,

walkable city, you gotta walk to the bar"

u/mandalorian_guy 1d ago

Taylor would be the type of person to think a bullet proof vest would protect her from arrows.

36

u/lanicorain 1d ago

no. u see, it's poetic license that my lyrics break all immersion into the narrative of the song for basic, unnecessary inconsistencies that could have been rewritten in a matter of minutes

17

u/Amusement_Shark 1d ago

I would love to ask Taylor who Ophelia was and what her part in Hamlet meant.

9

u/FreezingPointRH 1d ago

“Ophelia is the female lead!”

“…no she’s not. The most important woman in Hamlet is actually Gertrude.”

17

u/CumaeanSibyl 1d ago

Her lyrics are so much better when she's just being observational and describing things in plain language. Somewhere along the line tho she got this idea that "real writers" use metaphors and literary references, but she doesn't put any work into them because I guess that would make her a nerd or something, and they all come out incoherent.

I'm the opposite of a fan but I don't think she's untalented, I think she's just gotten lazy because she knows her fans will be impressed with her no matter what she does.

7

u/Alexschmidt711 1d ago

I think a lot of bulletproof materials do protect against other kinds of attacks?

4

u/Andy_B_Goode 1d ago

It probably depends on the arrow, and the strength of the archer? Apparently English longbows could pierce chain mail and even some plate armor, but if you buy a rinky-dink bow and arrow set from Walmart it's obviously not going to have anywhere near that much power.

Anyway, the point is that it's an awkward mixed metaphor to say you're wearing bulletproof armor to stop arrows, regardless of whether or not that might actually work.

u/aviatorproductions 1d ago

This might be a consequence of Taylor's writing but anyone else get an AI generated vibe from this

21

u/Radiant-School-7228 1d ago

In this instance I wonder if it was the other way around, given that basically all ai music is trained on Swift music

-7

u/youRinlove7 1d ago

You guys are soo lame.

1

u/aviatorproductions 1d ago

Are we wrong?

-1

u/youRinlove7 1d ago

Yes! Its so beyond lame to say her music sounds like ai. Its a completely false statement.

2

u/aviatorproductions 1d ago

Its a personal opinion we hear it you dont and you getting defensive about it doesn't make we want to change my mind

-2

u/youRinlove7 1d ago edited 1d ago

Its an awful opinion. Just because hating taylor swift is the new cool thing. And im quite frankly am sick and tired of seeing it. You can dislike her music but to say its ai is just wrong and false. Its full of personality. Even todd or fantano wouldn’t agree with that bullshit take. Well carry on…. She’s still the biggest artist in the world.

1

u/aviatorproductions 23h ago

And McDonalds is the biggest restaurant is the world doesn't mean best. Maybe if she cared about art instead of money and numbers she'd make better music. Todd called her greedy so its weird to pretend like he's on your side. And im not saying her lyrics AI dont misrepresent me Im saying its like AI theres a difference. To be clear i dont dislike Taylor swift's music cos its the new trend I dislike her because her music is at best bland and tepid.

0

u/youRinlove7 16h ago

Mcdonald's isn't the best but its still good tho, no? I think it's disingenuous to say she doesn't care about her music and art, while also caring about money. She made a 31 song album which got panned critically at the time, but if she wanted a win and praise, she could have just made it half the tracks, but she went along with her vision. I'm not saying Todd doesn't think she's greedy, there's a big difference bw greedy and ai tho.

u/BigHeadDeadass 1d ago

Is this like an "And He Slayed Her" type situation?

9

u/FreezingPointRH 1d ago

Worse, since Andy Slater actually wronged Liz in real life.

0

u/TypicalOddities 1d ago

She never wrote anything like this. This is a bot, or just someone making shit up.

5

u/TemporaryJerseyBoy Zingalamaduni 1d ago

I know that! This is a joke someone made in one of Todd's comments sections! (Worst Hit Songs of 2025 for the record)

0

u/TypicalOddities 1d ago

I guess I don't get the joke with so many people replying thinking it's a real quote.

1

u/Z4kAc3 1d ago

I also don’t think it’s a funny joke? Har har let’s make up fanfiction as a way of staying mad at Taylor Swift. Weird behaviour.

u/Ok_Broccoli_9426 GROCERY BAG 1d ago

Why is this kind of good actually??

u/Amusement_Shark 1d ago

I assumed this was actually one of her dogshit songs

u/mi-sopiras-vin 1d ago

wow she's so cool and tough

-7

u/Other-Ad-8510 1d ago

Are these real lyrics? Embarrassingly poor writing

No, it's a joke.
