For almost six weeks now, the whole Swifties fandom is still waiting for the release of Taylor Swift's new album. This is because when ME! was released exactly six weeks ago, everyone thought that her seventh album would be dropped instead of ME!. So when her leadoff single was announced, it somehow surprised everyone. But still, the whole fandom welcomed the track openly.
But while most of her fans are happy with her latest single, critics and analysts state otherwise. As it appears, they do not find ME! and Taylor Swift's ways to market TS7 as appealing ideas and actions. They have shared in an interview recently that Taylor might not survive this current era where artists like Billie Eilish and Lil Nas X reign in recent times.
These critics have further contended that the recent Billboard charts have proven these pieces of analysis. So, when Lil Nas X's Old Town Road remains unbeaten even after ME! has been dropped, this only proves that Taylor's new music and album might not surpass today's artists' works and albums.
Aside from these points, critics and analysts also suggest that Taylor's "Easter eggs," pastel-colored themes, and numerous interview appearances are becoming more trivial and nonsensical. And when the TS7 updates are becoming more filled with news about her feline friends, the point of her upcoming album and music is losing its gist.
If you would recall, Taylor Swift revealed in an interview recently that her upcoming and new music will be much more mature. And this is also a consideration to the fact that she is turning 30 this year. But these statements made it so much more cringy to many critics as per The Ringer.
As it appears, several reviewers mentioned that her latest single, ME!, does not contain any mature input. And what made it even more surprising is the fact that she invited out "kids," in the course of ME!'s lyrics.
Although some of the fans continue to praise and support Taylor Swift, the critics remain critical and cynical. They have also mentioned artists like Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, and Justin Bieber. And based on their words, it looks like that these artists will no longer survive the current era as the musical preferences of the mass are making a total shift in recent years.
And even Taylor Swift is making herself more engaged in current events, especially on politics, it does not add hype and interest over her music. Moreover, she also mentioned that her new album has political tones. But it looks like; this will not change the critics' perspective about her music.
