Loved that you finally listened to Fred Again <3 I would really recommend watching his Studio Lives of all 3 of his Actual Life albums. They are crazy amazing!

i would die for a reaction to this!! someone plz put it in the discord

Savannah Brown

It was the worst album I have ever listened to in my life! The reason why she got that number was because of her cult like fan would eat up whatever she puts out. Which is not healthy cuz there is no constructive feedback being accepted cuz tbh Taylor swift’s fandom is the most toxic fandom in the world rn if not starwars

KENDRICK POP OUT CONCERT PLSSSSS

Kendrick Lamar acaba de cantar en su último concierto 5 a 6 veces not like us, yo fucking vi todo su concierto. Si Taylor Swift hiciera eso le tirarían tanto hate que no vería el final de ello, en fin la hipocresía de algunas personas.

Si quieres traduce esto, si quieres no. Para expresarme por completo necesito escribirlo en español. Por qué Taylor debería parar? Para darle "chance" a otros artistas? Lo irracional que es esa lógica, escapa mi comprensión. Opinas que la calidad de su música ha decaído, ok perfecto. Pues no consumas su música, no compres sus albumes no escuches sus versiones. Yo solo tengo 1 vinilo el the manuscript version and thats it, pero no comprendo la NECESIDAD de la gente de criticar decisiones de otros artistas y tampoco creo que sea coincidencia que sea tan fácil criticarla porque es mujer.

I searched to try and find where I originally saw this comparison (prob a tweet), but fairly recently I saw a comparison of music artists to professional athletes. Basically talking about when you see athletes in whatever sport at the top of their game play/compete against each other no one disparages them for going all out. There is still a level of respect and professionalism, but they are doing their job by not holding back. But when it comes to music artists (at this level people, I’m talking chart toppers) people just assume it’s all malicious. Taylor is one of if not the biggest artists currently and heading towards ever. She just has more resources, a larger fan base and uses that all to her advantage when it comes to charts 🤷‍♀️

Fred again..'s performance was absolutely amazing, especially since as an initially electronic/dance artist, he had to like readapt and recompose everything. For some context, he made 3 albums, namely Actual Life 1, 2 and 3 during pandemic. In one of his music videos (i've been lost), he explains "I spent most of last year on the phone.It’s a whole long story and I can barely talk about it without crying. I fell in love. And it was literally beyond unreal. Just beyond. And then she got ill. And then life just became something else.". Thankfully, the girl he talks about survived, but the whole 3 albums are actually his journey through grief, and all the mess. All his samples are actually not just looking like from a phone, they are recorded from his phone on the street, at the local pub or just at a poetry open mic night. You can see his pours his whole soul in his music, like at the end of the tiny desk he is barely hanging, his arms lower than the piano like its what he holds on to, what he has left. I saw him live last year. Crazy performer, best concert of my life. Even my friends who came even though they weren't huge fan or didn't know a lot about him said it was the best show they ever went to. I know you try to stay away from personnal context or what the music is about so i'm sorry but i felt like it was needed in this one. Also, you should definitely react to his albums !

Basmaille

i like this album and it's amazing in my opinion .. i relate to it with everything happening in my life right now and that's enough for me , you can't just call it not good or shit just because it's not your taste or you don't like it ,, and if it's not good as you said it wouldn't break all these numbers from the first day haha

Dana

I’ve listened to TTPD + 2 Sabrina Carpenter songs and old Taylor since TTPD came out. It’s not on purpose, I have ADHD and that’s just how I consume music… until I’m sick of it and have to take a break 😂 and it feels like a lot of people are on the same boat

Nic K.

Sabrina killed the Chappell cover! I actually like it better!

JoAnn Burrage

Why Sesame Street over Willow 😭😭

Hannah

hoping for more Fred again reaction !! he’s so great!’

Rachel

I saw Raye live a week ago, and her festival set is just as amazing and "dramatic" as the tiny desk set. She is truly one of a kind! <3

Ingvild

Speaking on the Taylor section, it does really put into perspective that we can only see so much of artists lives and reasonings behind what they do. It also puts into perspective that the amount of idolization that goes around in fanbases needs to maybe chill a bit, and thats coming from a hardcore swiftie. It’s a tough pill to swallow. There are so many facets behind this situation, and it’s unfortunate how it looks. I really hope she has good intentions behind this whole situation.

Ella

could you do chappell roan Bonnaroo set 😭😭🙏🏼🙏🏼

Wanda Holderby

Love Fred Again 🥲 Zane Lowe has a really great interview with him on YouTube that I highly recommend!

Allie

were waiting for the reaction to “the secret of us” album 🥳🥳

drew_g

As someone who has listened to nothing but TPPD and a smidgen of Sabrina since its release, I do think streams are a big factor. All I hear from swifties (even friends irl that I wouldn't class as superfans) is that it's on repeat and I wonder how much that is contributing

Melanie C

Ooooooooo I’d also love to see you stream Faouzia’s live performance of her song “Fur Elise” it’s lyrical i promise 😂

Izzzy Federgreen

Omg please stream more raye!!! Her live performances are sooooooo different every time!

Izzzy Federgreen

calling that album amazing is criminal💀 even calling it good/okay is a big stretch, taylor can offer yall straight up sh!t from her ass on a silver plate and some of you would still eat it up

TN300

i’m manifesting a chappell x sabrina collab

emma 🌷

I really don't think the alternate versions are making that big of a difference. Might be more based on streams. Also are we going to tell the Chiefs not to play so hard so other teams get a chance.

MarisolVG

sabrina slayed!! she didn't try to copy or mimic the way that chappell sings it, she just sang it in her own way. what a tribute to chappell. she wasn't joking when she said she was our favourite artists' favourite artist <3

jade

He also has all his albums live performed on YouTube 🧡

kathyfif

Please do Fred albums ❤️ actual life one first

kathyfif

and i totally get why some ppl like it, i honestly think it's very weak. there are good songs in there, but the album as a whole it's too long and not very cohesive. but obviously ppl can disagree

Gabe Zampar

TTPD is amazing wtf are you talking about

Dana

REACT TO PULSAR BY L'IMPERATRICE!!

Aldair Vallejo

Hey Troy, remember Billie and Finneas fear or fart game? so, my theory is that Taylor Swift is a little lost in her own fart smells lately and that kinda explain everything that's going on with her career, including why TTPD is the way it is and why, in my opinion, it sucks. I miss when she was writing fears like in folklore/evermore, she's a much better artist when she's doing that instead of being too lost on the praising her fanbase gives her yk? idk man, i think the Eras Tour and the re-recording process fucked her artistry good because TTPD is clearly sooo bellow what she can do... and maybe is because everything is being so rushed and playing on top of each other... Idk taylor, maybe get some vacation time, give your own life some time to play a little. I think the whole thing The Vault that she started doing releasing basically everything she has ever written on her old albums + beying praised so hard by her fanbase for it made her think she can release anything because anything will be "genius"... and it's not... I see a lot of Swifties complaing about stuff that she does and still buying loads of shit from her store... Obviously she'll keep doing it! And that's making her art worse and worse! Maybe having a gigantic (almost cult leaning) fanbase makes one too lost on their own farts to see that some songs need more work to be out in the world, and some should'nt even be out.

Gabe Zampar

Literally had goosebumps the entire time Sabrina sang good luck babe

Feminism: the advocacy of women's rights on the basis of the equality of the sexes. This narrative has become so so tiring.

Cailyn C

Sabrina also did a great cover of late night talking if you haven't already reviewed it!!

Maggie

I can’t even get into the variant discussion - everyone does it, everyone wants top spot, Taylor is hunting down that Beatles record and it has NOTHING to do with the other pop girlies. She is optimizing this season (re-records and Eras Tour) to gain all the legacy that she can. If she were a man, there would be not a word about this, but for some reason, Taylor is supposed to step aside and give the top spot to your Stan. It’s just not gonna happen. She’s 17 years in, and she has earned this time. She is not gonna let up until she shifts gears after the tour is over. Count on it. Get used to it. Get over it.

Ally ❤️

Did you record your reaction to the "Ken & Friends" concert? I really want to see your reaction to "Not Like Us" 5x in a row😂😂

Angie Armatis

I second this!!

Angie Armatis

Yes!!!!!!

Ally ❤️

So much better!!!!!

Ally ❤️

Your friend wasn’t exaggerating. The day I saw Fred live the entire trajectory of my life was altered.

Hannah Chyzik

this is my favorite artist currently…just saw him at the la coliseum on Friday and it was the best thing i’ve ever witnessed. so life changing

Adam Geiser

PLAY THAT SHIT FRED LETS GOOOO

Adam Geiser

Love you but Willow WHEN?! Lol

Monica 🌔

Sabrina needs to rerecord PPP (clean) to "like the others" rather than "little sucker" like she said in this BBC live performance. It's just so much better lol

Angie Armatis

can’t wait to watch! Gracie Abrams’ new album comes out tonight at midnight, I know a lot of us would love if you reacted :)

itslucasbrown

So excited for Gracie on Friday!

Isabel Victoria

Happy Thursday, Troy! 🫶🏻

Anything for black music month? Like watching the visuals for Beyonce's Self Titled, perhaps?
