I bet Collins is hoping Taylor Swift plans to release another 6 or 7 songs in the next 12 hours

"Basic" is the correct take.

I think she solidified her pop chops with 1989, faltered massively with REPUTATION, and then the real heater is LOVER through EVERMORE. The limits of some of the recent stuff has been bad production and being high on the "lyrical genius" conceit.

If we're also going to do Taylor Swift discourse, I think the problem is that she's a fundamentally very basic person who happened to go on an all time pop heater from like Red till Evermore and is now returning to her default state

Taylor Swift announces new single 'Patient Zero'

It's her first new song since the wedding: Taylor Swift has announced a fresh release for Friday. The timing is no coincidence.

For those who didn't notice, Patient Zero is labeled on her website as part of The Life of a Showgirl, which prompts me to ask...

Did no one have the courage to tell Taylor that NO ONE wants more The Life of a Showgirl!?!
