With TN reminding me that YNTCD is 3 years old, how would you say it has aged? Are you happy Taylor spoke out, does it still work for pride month with her relative silence now? What do you think?
It’s a fun bop, but not the first song I think of when it comes to pride. While I love Tay’s music, it does feel a little less genuine, and performative. Lover feels like ages ago, though. Isn’t YNTCD 4 years old, not 3?
I loved it when it came out. It was one of my anthems that year! But now that it’s aged a little bit, it’s lost some of the magic for me (especially after the whole Matty situation…). I do still listen when it comes on shuffle, but I don’t actively seek it out or anything.
tbh i never bought her as an ally, so her just forgetting the whole subject doesn’t provoke the kind of scorn i have for, say, target
