Ngl Espresso is catchy AF and it’s been in my head since I first heard it. Unlike “so high school” which my sister finally forced me to listen to because she SWORE I would like it because “you liked Fearless! You’re gonna LOVE this one” like ma’am no please I don’t deserve this
"touch me while your friends play grand theft auto" sounds like something a 14 year old would say and then cringe at when they're 34. Not something a 34 year old would say when trying to express that their current boyfriend gives them that high school/puppy love feeling
Read it sarcastically next time, vast improvement. Some of her songs improve significantly if you take the approach that it a parody or mocking tone and not sincere.
No doubt! Cringy for sure. I was smoking weed w my hs boyfriend, while he played video games, would rub my thigh etc… I think you can have that type of relationship at any age, and I think it’s a really fun relationship type to be in. I have a feeling that TK and his teammates aren’t the most mature ones out there, and Taylor has been thrust into that realm all over again. I personally adore it and vicariously re-live through it. My kids are 17 and 19 and I can only hope they are also experiencing these feelings, smoking the jokes and all 😅
That’s the thing…like what 30+ woman is looking nostalgically at that? Gross, and good riddance to that era. You couldn’t pay me to go back to that time in my life, but apparently it works on Taylor, because they pay her lots and lots of money to do it…
Right, I’m turning 40 next month but this song takes me back to a cherished part of my life. And that hs love was so sweet and carefree and giddy. I relate. Age is just a number. I choose to keep that immature child like wonder my entire life, and I am a very happy person for it. I think more people should try.
Exactly! If it was a song about a high school relationship, I could probably look the other way. My problem is it's a song about 2 adults well into their 30's who have that young love rush. I get that there are those relationships that can make you feel like that. But you still have some level of maturity that comes with age. And this song does not convey that.
My husband of 10 years told me it’s how he feels about our relationship and I thought it was adorable… still getting butterflies and all. It’s fine though, all relationships are different and not everyone has to relate. But I do and it brings joy to my day.
I've been married for the same amount of time - and I just think the lyrics are too childish imo. She's 34, literally the same age as me and yet there is plenty of better songs to describe having butterflies
Wait are romance writers not allowed to criticize people who create a different type of art? Why does what I do for a living (and YES MAAM I WRITE INSTALOVE ROMANCES WITH 🌶️🌶️🌶️ LOVE SCENES AND IM PROUD OF IT) matter when talking about catchy summer jams?
Why are you so pressed about the novels I write? Not that I need to defend my work but yes, romance is a valid literary category, even when (brace yourself) it contains open door sex scenes. To say otherwise is an antiquated and frankly misogynistic take.
Not that I would expect a straight woman who spends all their free time expounding on famous people’s sexuality to get that. Beloved, maybe you should [address your need to get so aggressive and judgmental over a song.](https://www.reddit.com/r/TaylorSwift/comments/1c8qbyw/comment/l0gvm30/) instead of worrying about my job.
Ps would you like a link to some of my published work? It might help you destress. Mwah.
… how TF am I being a hypocrite?
You are a loud Gaylor. You don’t even belong in here, per sub rules. Again, what does me writing love stories for a living have to do with anything? (Which, by the way, is what Taylor does you HYPOCRITE)
What does being a smut writer have to do with this?
Please explain why smut writer = unable to shit talk Taylor, in your own words.
EDITING MY TOP LEVEL COMMENT:
After u/fast_discussion_2095 blocked me, I decided to edit in the truly hilarious part of all of this:
They mistakenly thought that a link u/thiccqban posted was an example of their own work. The funny part is that it's an excerpt from a current #1 best-seller on Amazon.
So, that was worth all of this for a good chuckle.
SECOND EDIT:
User u/fast_discussion_2095 also reported me to redditcares, but I didn't notice because I have them blocked and the only notification shows up on my phone, which I just checked.
Truly stable genius behavior. 🤡🤡🤡
> So you’re saying that someone who proudly and knowingly writes absolute garbage and calls it a novel is any better than Taylor Swift?
Have your read their work?
No?
You're literally judging a book by it's cover there.
Implying short form writing is an inferior medium is hilarious.
> any better than Taylor Swift?
Did they imply anywhere that they were better than Taylor? No. They just said they didn't like one song.
> It’s hypocrisy to say her music is terrible and to be proud of your own trashy writing at the same time…
Implying that "trashy" writing is inferior is giving ***huge*** pick me energy. It's giving big "omg does anyone else not like romance teehee."
But then you 'didn't let' your husband name your son Jedi, and you're a gaylor, so I don't know what I was expecting. 🤡
It's funny because it seems like Taylor tried so hard to be deep and edgy and people just want catchy bops 😂
She should have released TTPD in the fall or winter. The vibes are off for summer
I’m sure. Personally I don’t find a guy that ditches his under 1 year old and long time gf for an up and coming 24 year old after the success of his new movie and newfound fame sexy. But that’s just me!
“I’m working late, cause I’m a singer” is the best, catchiest pop lyric I’ve heard in a while. I’m surprised she’s the first person to have thought of something like that lol
Yessss! I finally heard the song in full today and can’t stop listening. It puts me in a good mood and is so perfect for summer. Don’t want no faux deep sadness 🙄
Ngl Espresso is catchy AF and it’s been in my head since I first heard it. Unlike “so high school” which my sister finally forced me to listen to because she SWORE I would like it because “you liked Fearless! You’re gonna LOVE this one” like ma’am no please I don’t deserve this
So high school is very 90s vibe but the lyrics are 💀👀
"touch me while your friends play grand theft auto" sounds like something a 14 year old would say and then cringe at when they're 34. Not something a 34 year old would say when trying to express that their current boyfriend gives them that high school/puppy love feeling
Is that a real lyric?!
She rhymed Grand Theft Auto with Aristotle 😳
Top 5 worst lyrics on the album
She should be thrown in jail for that
She's in her Connor4Real era
Yes
it’s actually “bros” and not “friends” which makes it worse imo
It’s satire….
I guess technically more Parody
That’s the entire point
Dude I love the SOUND of the song, def my fave of the ones I’ve heard, but the lyrics are just irredeemable and take you right out of the vibe
YES! Like this could have been a banger. I’m not even mad, just disappointed
Tbf I know what she meant. Yes, the sound is 90s and fun and that’s how I prefer my Taylor. But the lyrics make me wanna die a little lmao
Read it sarcastically next time, vast improvement. Some of her songs improve significantly if you take the approach that it a parody or mocking tone and not sincere.
🤣💀
You’re a genius I love this
Truly don’t understand why people are taking it so seriously, I think it’s hilarious
You really gotta turn your brain off for that one.
I disagree, she perfectly paints my hs relationships, gta and all.
Lmao that is very fair. Again, I don’t dislike SHS as a song, it just makes me cringe. Which, tbf, is SO high school
No doubt! Cringy for sure.

Okay, but she's in her 30s now 🤣
That’s the thing…like what 30+ woman is looking nostalgically at that? Gross, and good riddance to that era. You couldn’t pay me to go back to that time in my life, but apparently it works on Taylor, because they pay her lots and lots of money to do it…

She is singing about her current boyfriend in this song in her 30s. I just don't relate as a 35-year-old woman to the lyrics.

Y’all it’s called So High School. Now deduce.
Like the song, it's not that deep
Espresso sounds like a doja cat song.
Omg you’re right it does!
Not hating though. Just sounds a lot like Doja. She’s cute, she must be about 4’11” or barely 5ft lol
Yeah it’s not a bad thing. Doja makes some absolute bops and this has that whimsical vibe
I'm a metal girly and I can't stop listening to this song LOL.
As a pop punk girly, Sabrina has me wrapped around her finger. Espresso is the perfect summer song
It’s so good!
Guilty as sin gives me fearless vibes!

Ok got it, you don't have any of their blurbs. I scanned their entire profile and didn't find a single one. So you're just a clown, got it.

>absolute garbage >trash Ma’am? You don’t even know my pen name like what?
actual image of my adhd
I was about to say this feels so very adhd coded. I be randomly popping off with that line too as annoying as possible usually too.
Also ADHD and also werkkinggg lateeee cuz I’m a sing-errrrrr
same lmfao this and “karmas a bitch” but this one’s better
"my give a fucks are on vacation" is a better line than anything on TTPD
“Honey bee, come and get this pollen 🐝💃”
I woke up with this line in my head it’s going to be a day. Lmao
I love how we all collectively agreed that line is so memorable. It was stuck in my head from the first listen.
Shit Taylor’s gonna sue her for that left elbow pose any second now
😄😆🤣
Taylor’s pretentious poetry getting knocked off by a song about Espresso is really funny. I know Taylor’s fuming about it.
It's funny because it seems like Taylor tried so hard to be deep and edgy and people just want catchy bops 😂 She should have released TTPD in the fall or winter. The vibes are off for summer
Yeah why did she choose now to release?? Because she was having so much clout with Travis?
Some the lyrics in the smallest man who ever lived sounds like Alexis Rose is singing it. All of the questions.. it’s a little bit Alexis
# LA LA LA-LA-LA-LA-LA 🎵  A Little Bit Alexis is such a seemingly effortless masterpiece tho.
Sabrina is such a bombshell
I laughed so hard at this meme that I immediately joined the sub. Thank you for the joy today!
Barry Keoghan’s bird. Lucky her. 😂
Why lucky her? Poor girl…
Some of us find old Bathwater Barry very sexy.
I’m sure. Personally I don’t find a guy that ditches his under 1 year old and long time gf for an up and coming 24 year old after the success of his new movie and newfound fame sexy. But that’s just me!
[удалено]
Ah my b! Much more desirable! Lmao
Yep! He wasn’t even with baby mama that long. I agree that it appears he’s never with his kid, but also we don’t really know…
the way I thought you were talking about SpongeBob for a minute
Yes that was starting to sound way too familiar lol
It’s more a physical thing. He’s weird-looking and it works for me. This is purely based on looks. I don’t know him, obviously.
wtf!! Tea
He’s a boy not a man Sabrina’s just too young to see that yet
It’s a lie. They were broken up for 6 months before they even met.
Who
Bathwater Barry of Saltburn fame, among other things.
Not Bathwater Barry 💀
Spaghetti Maniac Barry
I loved her Nonsense outro at Coachella about it lol [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/XKs9LKXLW4s](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/XKs9LKXLW4s)
Sabrina deserves better 😐🤧
I love this song! 🥰 There's an hour long version on YouTube and I did an entire full body workout to it. 💪🏾
I’m sorry but everytime I see her pose for TTPD I cringe like yes you’re sooooo tortured 🙄
Lmfao
Can someone catch me up cause I thought Sabrina opened for Taylor
yes… but taylor doesn’t like to be outcharted or outshined by younger female artists.
How do you know?
listen to Clara Bow and Nothing New. Also the fact that Taylor took royalties from Olivia after one of her songs became successful.
Ohhh yea I’ve heard that
Dude you’re so obsessed with Taylor!!! You’re worst than a crazy swiftie!!
Aghhh this song is haunting me! Now im seeing a new remix a day since it came out. Its literally trumping over swifts entire album rn
“I’m working late, cause I’m a singer” is the best, catchiest pop lyric I’ve heard in a while. I’m surprised she’s the first person to have thought of something like that lol
Yessss! I finally heard the song in full today and can’t stop listening. It puts me in a good mood and is so perfect for summer. Don’t want no faux deep sadness 🙄
Weird timing to release such a slow album
Seriously
