Too many of them are too afraid to express anything that's different than the others and the few that do get jumped, called names and are made to feel inferior to other fans or like their feelings are invalid. The maturity level is like junior high.
I'd shut that place down if I were taylor. It's kind if embarrassing in parts. lol. Be all like "whoops server error. Be back when you all grow up"

19? What if they re-release it?
Dark Red
Red Velvet
Containing 6-7 new tracks
25 singles this era? 
I think we end with only 7-8 singles. They don't milk Fearless that much, so I think they won't do it to Red too

Girl, the other thread was much more wild than that. LOTS of explicit words and nicknames. The kids were fuming. They made 8 threads complaining about it. It was amazing.
But the trolling, hopefully will make them grow up a bit. Sooner or later, they should face the harsh world. Life ain't full of rainbows & unicorns.

Red Velvet! Yes. And she can make cupcakes for it.
And us adults can have the Red Rum edition. With explicit lyrics and shot glasses.

Swift steps outside comfort zone
Nekesa Mumbi Moody | Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – On Taylor Swift’s new album, “Red,” there’s a song where the 22-year-old superstar sings about a fictional one: a famous singer who spends years under the glare of the spotlight, then ditches her uncomfortable fame for a life of solitude.
It sounds like Swift might be mapping out her eventual exit plan on “The Lucky One,” which depicts the troubling side of celebrity: tabloids, paparazzi, living life in a bubble. It’s certainly a scenario the multimillion-selling Swift can relate to: She’s become a fixture in the gossip pages, especially with her penchant for famous boyfriends, including her latest, Conor Kennedy of the storied political clan.
But if “Lucky One” has a plotline that Swift would eventually like to live out, for now, it’s just a daydream: Swift has come to embrace her larger-than-life status – and all the headaches that come with it.
“There’s a lot of trade-offs. There’s the microscope that’s always on you. The camera flashes, the fear that something you say will be taken the wrong way and you’ll let your fans down. There’s the fear that you’ll be walking down the street and your skirt will blow up and you’ll be in the news for three months,” says Swift, sitting at her dining room table in her apartment in Nashville, dressed in a playful black shirt decorated with dogs and an appropriate red skirt. Her house decorated with a whimsical flair: flower-decorated walls, a small pond in the living room, kitschy mismatched chairs and hanging from a perch in her living room, dangling paper cutouts of her age, “22.”
As she rattles off a few more of the negatives of being in the limelight, she adds: “You’re scared of a lot of things for a lot of the time, but the trade-off of being able to get on a big stage and sing your songs – it’s worth it.”
Swift is perhaps on the biggest stage of her young career with the release of “Red,” last week. She’s already scored her first No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart with the Max Martin/Shellback-produced “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.” The song is still in the top 10 and has company with her new song, “I Knew You Were Trouble,” which takes the country star into further pop territory with its use of auto-tune and dance synths.
While “Red” still has plenty of tunes that cater to her country fan base, as Swift was crafting the album, she was determined to “step outside my comfort zone.”
“On my fourth album, I wanted to do something that wasn’t what I’ve done for the first three,” she says.
Scott Borchetta, head of Big Machine Records, has worked with Swift since she was a teenager and watched her grow from a promising young country ingénue to one of music’s best-selling artists. As she worked on the follow-up to 2010’s “Speak Now” – which sold a million copies in its first week, netted her multiple awards and was the anchor for her sold-out world tour – he noticed she was exploring other sounds not usually heard on country radio. He encouraged her to seek out producers like Martin, best known for crafting hits for Britney Spears, Pink and Kelly Clarkson.
“If you’re going to write a country song, run toward country. If you’re going to write a pop song, write and produce it with the guys who are the best and biggest, if that’s what it feels like,” he said.
While she worked with previous collaborators like songwriter Liz Rose and producer Nathan Chapman, she also tapped singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran and Gary Lightbody of Snow Patrol; both are featured in duets.
Jeff Bhasker, who’s worked with artists such as Beyoncé, fun. and Swift’s one-time nemesis Kanye West, was also involved in the making of “Red.” Swift emailed him directly after admiring fun.’s bombastic drum sound and soon afterward, they were recording.
“She came just by herself and brought her guitar to the studio and played me this song ‘Holy Ground’ on my couch, and sang it all the way through perfectly and I was just blown away at how stone cold she was,” says Bhasker, who also worked on “The Lucky One.”
Heartbreak is again the muse for many of her songs. While she’s seemingly in a dreamy relationship with Kennedy, grandson of the late Robert Kennedy, during the making of “Red” she had a well-publicized (but brief) romance with actor Jake Gyllenhaal that ended in heartbreak – according to those pesky tabloids.
“My mind frame during this recording process and the writing process was the ups and downs of a few really tumultuous relationships that had, you know, various amounts of damage and impact and things that were really tough for me to get through,” Swift explains. “And that’s typically when I turn to songwriting, when I don’t quite understand how to say what I feel because it’s all so much.”
While she admits that her songs are autobiographical, she sticks to her rule of not disclosing whom they are about: “I just like that I like the way my personal life sounds in songs so much better than I do in quotes and interviews.”

She says damn in the uncensored teardrops and cold as you. So it's like a return to where she was.
Edit: everyone focuses on PTB being censored on the deluxe debut but forget TOMG was too.

And the censored TOMG just does not flow. I think they made PTB work but TOMG is like...? Why?
There's also "**** sewing machines". How is 16 year old taylor more off the cuff and mature than 18-22 year old taylor? Damn unicorns!
