She's not writing purposely bad lyrics just to shade Katy. No way.
She cares about her work and that acclaim way too much to do something stupid like that.
Besides Bad Blood has good lyrics.
once again it is not BAD LYRICS. it is just simpler and watered down for Taylor's standards (nothing wrong with that at all) and if you don't agree than you know very little of her discography. it's just an obvious switch up in lyrical styles as it was an intentional mock song aimed at Katy. this is how diss tracks work btw. sometimes they mimic the targets style/sound/writing in a bid to make it seem simple, easy and disposable.
the basic relatable lyrics that have zero personal details that Her songs are usually filled with
the cringeworhty metaphors and similes
the "heys" in the production ala Roar
wasn't the song a katy throwaway track that MM gave to Her?
Well Wildest Dreams re-entered the Hot 100 at #15 and that one was actually selling well.... Hopefully OOTW starts selling now with America waking up, but that is looking really bad so far.
It would need 15+ million US streams to go top 10 with those sales. Which would be double what WD had first week and would be something around 50 million worldwide.
Ok, so not happening
At least OOTW will have 7 days of streaming instead of 4 days (like WD had)
