So Taylor Swift released some new music today. Uh she released four more songs for The Life of a Showgirl, which is now the Life of a Showgirl, The Encore, which is the Deluxe album, which is like the fifth or sixth different variant of this album. And Unfortunately, I think it's come to a time where I can say this, that this is the end of an era in pop music where Taylor Swift is no longer our best. Taylor Swift has over the last f five years, really since releasing folklore, not made a good album. Not one of these is a good album. Midnight's was good ish. Tortured Poets Department got worse. Life of a Showgirl got worse from there. Her writing is no longer in a place to where she can articulate love in an interesting way.
Chris Cody 1:03
Everything That she writes about uh Travis Kelsey feels like she's writing from the perspective of someone who just wants you to know she's in love, not able to explain the intricacies of that love anymore. Um these songs are boring, the melodies are boring. Unfortunately, the best compliment I can give is that one of the The songs has a pretty catchy chorus. But guys, I think this is the end of an era. Here healers. Taylor Swift is no longer one of our great songwriters. She's no longer one of our great artists. But it's always worth celebrating something that you once had. It's always worth saying goodbye to something that was beautiful. And 15 years of Taylor Swift's music being at the top of the charts was great, being one of
Chris Cody 1:54
the great songwriters. It was spectacular and folks I think that's worth a toast. Yeah. Worth a toast. It's presented by Cuervo. Keep it fun. Keep it Cuervo. Taylor, we look forward to a second era of your great artistry coming back someday.
Amin Elhassan 2:07
I'll be honest, other than worth the twos brought to you by Cuervo, all I heard from you was pumpkin spice. Just all everything is just sound like pumpkin spice.
Chris Cody 2:16
Yeah, the pumpkin spice lovers want better from Taylor Swift. I'm drinking pumpkin spice right now. I'm d I'm actively drinking it. Which means I have the credentials to tell you about Taylor Swift's music.
Amin Elhassan 2:27
I have a theory. that when you're in a loving, stable relationship as an artist, that's when your worst art comes out.
Chris Cody 2:33
Yeah, this is this is honestly i it reminds me there's a decade and th not to even dig myself deeper as a a white guy in sports, but there's about a decade of Bruce Springsteen that's not good. And it's from Born in the USA, where he gets rich and famous and the height of his success and gets married. Mm-hmm and is in what ends up being a four year long marriage before getting divorced. That's not what I'm predicting here. But it's a four year long marriage. He releases three or four studio albums that have
Unknown 3:01
A few good songs on them. The the biggest of fans will go, oh no, but that's a good song. No, I like I like the life of a showgirl. But ultimately, these
Chris Cody 3:09
are bad albums until eventually coming back and reaching a space in adulthood of hey, I'm gonna start writing about books that I've read. I'm gonna start writing about current events. No, but that's how it worked for Springsteen. I'm telling you,
Unknown 3:21
that's what Taylor Swift needs to do. Listen to the case. She needs to.
Amin Elhassan 3:23
Hey, get in the classroom. Start reading some classics. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Listen to me. Listen to me. You want to make art. You have to have a home life. That's fact, right? Take a look at Adele. Adele was in a relationship, and then she broke up and she gave us a banger album. Then she got back in a relationship, and then she got out of that relationship and went to give us another banger album. And then she got with Rich Paul and we haven't heard music since you didn't know what to do. Do the right thing,
Tony Hinchcliffe 3:50
Rich Paul. Cheat.
Unknown 3:50
No, but that's the right thing from Adele. Don't just pump out music for no reason. You know what happened with Taylor Swift? You know how many songs Taylor Swift has released?
Chris Cody 3:59
Since 2022. She's released 87 songs since 2022. You gotta ride that way.
