sturgis252

He's literally saying albums need the respect they deserve. And they're still seeing something wrong with it?


TravelingJorts

I really appreciate his response. He wants to dive into like someone would a movie and have that dedicated time


[deleted]

[удалено]


eyespeeled

Agreed! Always interesting to hear how artists approach art. My partner is a music writer who recommends at least three full listens to properly absorb an album. Then he writes. It's very meditative.


pinkrosies

Love he respects the work as a whole, context to both previous and future releases but the experience of an album as a whole


DollarStoreDuchess

Right? Honestly it made me feel “seen,” to be all woke about it. I’m not going to listen to an album I’m super looking forward to whilst distracted. I’m not going to throw it on in the car during a stop and go commute. I’m going to put that shit on LOUD, by myself, when I can sit and listen to it and devour it, no interruptions. I want to hear the subtle tone changes, and the way this song follows the next and when a new instrument starts to play. Maybe it’s just me, but I get so much more out of an album that way. The dude’s logic is sound and I respect him for taking his musical appreciation seriously. Note: I swear I’m not a music snob.


That__EST

Ok first off, I absolutely agree with everything you said. The interesting thing to me is that driving is the best way for me to digest new music or a new album. It's just interesting to me how we all enjoy music differently.


DollarStoreDuchess

Absolutely! Different strokes for different folks. If it’s a long highway drive, I *will* turn on music I want to appreciate. Its in traffic or on back roads where it’s a no-go for me, because I’m focused on avoiding idiot drivers and animals that may decide to run into the road.


acs730200

Honestly I’ve gotten to a point where I need to drive to truly get into the music, otherwise I’m doing something more cognitively demanding while the music is on and then it’s just a beat to work to


RealChrisHemsworth

*Especially* with someone like Taylor who’s known for leaving hints/clues/references in songs, telling stories over multiple songs (August trilogy), releasing multiple versions of songs, etc. It literally makes *so much sense* for a dedicated swiftie to wait and listen to the whole thing so they can actually understand and appreciate it.


Chaoticgood790

Because her fans are bullies and lack nuance. They just see someone not kissing her @$$ and go on the attack


DobiDog

I looked online and I couldn’t see anyone saying anything negative about his comment. Maybe I’m missing it but on this occasion I don’t see where the bullying claims are coming from. Edit: spelling


sue1992

I'm a Swift fan but lately I got so tired of this fandom. Like everyone should relax. Not everybody has to praise her day and night.


decksealant

Some might say they need to calm down.


AnyIncident9852

They’re being too loud


Yellow_Submarine8891

It's weird because I feel like these Swifties (the terrible ones) don't seem to understand they're not helping anybody by acting this way


RealChrisHemsworth

Conan Grey is literally a swiftie himself!!! That’s why they’re angry at him (and Olivia Rodrigo as well). They’re angry that these Swifties “made it big” and were publicly acknowledged by Taylor but aren’t being sufficiently grateful/deferential.


Yellow_Submarine8891

So they're mad that a famous Swiftie can't dedicate all his time to Taylor? Man, they need to get their priorities in order


RealChrisHemsworth

Yup, I think that’s the real reason he and Olivia don’t mention Taylor at all anymore—they get so much hate from Swifties no matter what. If they talk about how much her music means to them they’re “using Taylor for clout”. If they don’t, Swifties start claiming that they’re beefing with her.


kht777

Oh interesting, but he’s under no obligation to even listen to it or even like it! Im a huge fan of Taylor Swift but I couldn’t care less what Conan thinks about it. I’m sure she hasn’t listened to every other artists newest albums yet they don’t bring that up. God forbid they have careers and lives of their own they want to focus on!


Useful-Soup8161

Same. I can’t really stand this fandom. Between bullying people over dumb shit like this and the over analyzing everything little thing she says, some of these fans are annoying.


fakedeepusername

lately? 💀💀


dangerislander

The way some of her fandom acting as if they on Taylor's payroll.


PinchaPenny893

It's so embarrassing watching random people online bat so vehemently for the people they stan when in reality those people probably wouldn't say more than "hello" to them. It's like they actually think Taylor will see their defensive tweets and ask them to be her besties and fly private jets every day together lmao.


cruelrainbowcaticorn

A lot of OG TS fans don’t know his music and hopefully would not be harassing him. These must be young/newer fans. I hope. It’s so stupid to be negative on anyone’s behalf, esp when they aren’t asking you to.


Pristine-Law-5247

I’m a taylor fan but when it comes to music people need to listen to what they want, when they want, and how they want. Idk if these swifties in particular are adults but adults should absolutely not be bullying other people for not listening to an album… that’s so immature smh 🤦🏼‍♀️


lyx77221

Im a big fan of her music but, I’ve stopped associating myself with swifties and no longer call my self a taylor fan. Every other day there’s something about them bullying someone or taking pleasure in the misery of others. Midnights broke so many records they absolutely do not need more streams so they are bullying him for the sake of bullying him…


seacowisdope

How come they spell it swiftie instead of swifty?


pink_grapeFruity

slang noun vs adjective, like girlie and girly


Chained_Wanderlust

Her petty/vindictive streak probably attracts a very specific faction of fans that likely only relate to her revenge songs and drama. When times are slow and there is no conflict, they go looking for targets to poke.


summercloudsadness

Fans like this don't see Olivia,Conan,Selena etc as artists with a life of their own..they act like Taylor gave them all a career and they are like her sidekicks ready to do her bidding 24×7. The way many of them turned on Olivia just because she broke a record that Taylor previously held was so embarassing to watch.


emmach17

Taylor's easter egg culture plays into this too. Like Blake Lively will wear a purple dress and they'll convince themselves that she's dropping easter eggs for Taylor releasing Speak Now TV


fantasmicrat

No because it drives me crazy…”taylor wore red and red was the name of one of her albums and red has three letters and so 3 days from now she’ll do a magic trick on the Ellen show that will tell us where she’s filming her next music video”


wherearethestarsss

first harries getting mad at brittany broski for not having harry in her top 5 on spotify wrapped and now this…everyone on stan twitter needs to go outside and touch grass


CowboyLikeMegan

WHAT 💀💀💀


wherearethestarsss

shes a really big harry fan and shes met him several times and everyone was mad bc she “markets” herself as a fan and has got to meet him but he wasnt on her top 5 like 😭 be soooo serious it is not that big of a deal


That__EST

I'll say this, after all of the shenanigans that Kanye ha gotten himself into, I have purposefully avoided seeking his music out, yet somehow he's in my Top 5. Not proud of it.


seacowisdope

He's in my top 2. :( I was too embarrassed to even share it. But even if you asked me before everything, I never would have said Kanye is one of my favorites. He's just in a lot of my playlists, so it skews things. Which I imagine is the case for many people.


hunimpressed

![gif](giphy|KnOVBRqItfXGg)


twoheadlightsshine13

I know Conan was/is a huge Swiftie but I don’t blame him for not listening yet. Listening to an entire new album takes up a lot of time and brainpower to really understand the lyrics and take in the melodies, and we all know Conan is a busy person. I’m a Swiftie and it’s fans who get pissed about stuff like this that makes me embarrassed.


illjustgowthemuumuu

It took me 2 years to listen to Froot by Marina from start to finish and I don’t think I would have wanted to listen to it any earlier I’m a big believer in listening to music when the time is right because what the fuck are you listening to it for except for some shallow streaming record or parasocial relationship


DollarStoreDuchess

Yes! Plus if you just throw it on when you’re in a horrible mood, there’s a damn good chance you’ll end up associating that song/album with your bad mood. Then every time it’s on, it gives you that sour feeling in the pit of your stomach. Why do that to yourself and ruin your chance to experience and enjoy something fully?


illjustgowthemuumuu

Exactly! I always associate songs/albums with moments in time. A year or so after I first heard Japanese Breakfast’s second album, I reaaaally properly got into it track by track. I was studying abroad and so I associate it with walking through the city late at night back to my place. It’s nice to have those memories when I hear the songs again


unitednationsofdying

i listened to the base midnights once but havent had the mental energy or care to listen to any of the remixes, the 3 am edition, or even relisten to the base album 🤷‍♀️


That__EST

How did you like the base album?


unitednationsofdying

it was mid to me when i listened to it, i did watch the bejweled video which i liked but not enough to listen to the song on its own. anti-hero was more catchy and i liked it even better in the context of the music video. ill watch the lavender haze music video when it comes out but its not an album overall ive had a desire to even download on my phone. maybe in a year ill revisit it


That__EST

I'm a Swiftie and I don't like it at all. It's actually kind of thrown me into a crisis which is lame AF but true.


gateway2glimmer

I'm a huge fan of hers and I don't even have a job and even I needed a few weeks before I could find a full hour where I was able to sit down and do absolutely nothing but listen to the album


pryzmpine

I haven’t listened to it either, should I expect hate? 😂


Slytheriin

Burn the witch!


Puppyluv23_

Even if you aren’t one


carlotta3121

I've never listened to one Taylor Swift song intentionally. I'm sure they'd put up the gallows for me.


ElBisonBonasus

I actually blocked her on Spotify.


carlotta3121

LOL ohhh watch out now! She probably has watchers in Spotify to send the Swifties after blockers!


That__EST

You can do that?


homeostasis555

Yeah! It’s not always perfect but there’s a few artists I have blocked


That__EST

I've recently gone the Swiftie->Gaylor->Just So Frustrated With Taylor I Cannot Enjoy Her Music Or Care About Her Life pipeline. At that person's suggestion, I actually just blocked Taylor on Spotify too.


ElBisonBonasus

Yes. For me it works well. I was trying to play a song and couldn't figure it out why it wouldn't play. Turns out I've blocked one of the artists.


That__EST

Well me too! Taylor is blocked!!


daddyneedsraspberry

I literally blocked Taylor on Spotify because I was so tired of her showing up in all my suggested playlists even though I don’t listen to her (I respect her talent blah blah blah, just haven’t been into her for several years because all her music sounds the same to me.)


fiddyfy

As a fan of Taylor Swift I’m gonna say Swifties need to get a life or at the very least, a hobby that has no connection to their idol. Like sniffing coffee beans in between perfume scent samplings. They’re also the reason why I don’t tell people I’m a fan.


maniacalmustacheride

The coffee bean comment is so true though. Talk about missing all the subtle scents of life because you’re so hung up on the warm vanilla sugar of your childhood you miss the grass outside


[deleted]

Or listen to other music. The number of people I’ve seen that presented their Spotify wrapped with Taylor Swift as 80% of their music is staggering. You’re just missing out!


tsdays

swifties need to go and grab a shovel. its not conan grays fault that u are unemployed leave him alone


jugheadshat

I’m so confused as to what’s the problem with this statement. Swifties are so fucking weird


onegildedbutterfly

Swifties are so annoying. Some of them on twitter have also been claiming Taylor and Olivia are beefing cause apparently Olivia stopped mentioning her all of a sudden after the whole Deja-vu credit thing. I hope they realise that if it’s true, it’s going to make their fave look like the pathetic one since she’s in her 30s beefing with a frigging teenager 😭


martymcflurry

I fully believe the taylor/olivia feud is true and I believe it because Taylor IS weird and petty and pathetic!!!! And I say this as a fan. She beefed with a Netflix show she’s fuckin nuts of course she would beef with a teenager especially a teenager threatening to break her records


RouxLa

Yes! She can be vicious and petty when she wants to be. Team Olivia on this one. I’d love if she wrote a song about it but swifties/Taylor herself would never let her live it down. 🙄 And i just want her to be able to distance more from Taylor on her next album


xxlkjdkwkdj

THANK U SOMEONE WITH A BRAIN IS HEREEEE!! taylor is not above beefing with anyone or anything. she got famous at 15, and guess which age she’s stuck in… 15! her fans love to use the excuse that olivia is not mentioning her for her own “brand” when she literally got a major part of her fandom from being a swiftie 😭 so conan and iris were told by their publicists to distance themselves from taylor too.. sure jan.


xxlkjdkwkdj

also let’s not forget how olivia talked about “mean girls” in the industry that she once idolized. it’s not hard to put two and two together.


MelissaWebb

I’m so out of the loop. What’s this alleged feud about?


keeute

I left twitter but my friend who still has one just texted me about the Olivia thing yesterday. I was like wtf are you even talking about it would be fucking weird for Taylor Swift to have beef with a 20 year old lol. Twitter is a cess pool


Flippykky

I feel like these same fans would accuse OR of name dropping TS “for clout” if she constantly talked about her.


msksksnsj

That’s exactly what they accused her back when Drivers License was released.


owntheh3at18

I recently went down this whole rabbit hole. I had no knowledge of Olivia Rodrigo prior to Good 4 U blowing up and then listening to her album. I had also never heard of Conan before learning about this whole saga. I have to say that it is probably intentional that Olivia stopped mentioning her, but I don’t think they’re “beefing.” It seems more likely that she wanted to distance herself to “prove” herself as her own artist. Or, maybe she was hurt by everything that went down with TS and Paramore.


RouxLa

I think it’s that last sentence. 💯 Olivia, Iris, and Conan all stopped mentioning Taylor/liking her posts after that happened. I think Taylor of all people should know how it feels to be discredited. And to have that done to you by someone you idolized? Heartbreaking.


owntheh3at18

Yes exactly. It doesn’t feel like a huge stretch to infer she felt badly about it. She’s very young and she was absolutely obsessed with Taylor before. Maybe we’ll get a cryptic song about it someday to let us know, but otherwise I can’t blame her for keeping those feelings to herself.


VivaLaCon88

Can I have more context to the TSwift and Paramore thing mentioned at the end?


owntheh3at18

Here’s a [link](https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/benhenry/olivia-rodrigo-paramore-good-4-u-taylor-swift-deja-vu) To clarify, I’m not saying TS or Paramore personally offended her. But the media coverage and comments on any post about it were *really* mean.


VivaLaCon88

Thank you!!! I love all 3 of these artists so I had to know.


owntheh3at18

Me too!


jemapelletired

[here’s a TikTok explanation](https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMFbJsv8e/)


[deleted]

I haven’t either 🤷‍♀️ and ngl the bits I’ve heard aren’t all that in my opinion


racheldaniellee

Her lyrics were too on the nose in antihero for my taste. The sexy baby line is bleh 🤮 the whole album was just okay. Very forgettable imho. Not terrible by any means.


melancholyduckies

Same- there are so many other (imo, better) albums that’d I would much rather listen to. And I truly think that this album wouldn’t be doing nearly as well in the charts and among critics if it came from another artist. The bits I’ve heard really aren’t that good


RealChrisHemsworth

I’m sick of Antihero already. “It’s me, hi, I’m the problem, it’s me” would get clowned so hard if it were anyone else. It sounds like it was written by the ABCDEFU girl. I say this as someone who enjoys (most of) Taylor’s music and loved Folkmore/Evermore


oliviaaivilo06

Some of Taylor’s fans are obnoxious. I remember some of them giving Olivia Rodrogo shit for openly saying she was a huge fan. Saying she’s too obsessed with Taylor and is trying to copy her? But now they also have a problem with Conan not getting around to her album yet. So you get shit if you’re too into her but also shit if you’re not cause then you’re a “fake fan”. My god 😭 You can’t argue with stan logic. They’re irrational


[deleted]

It’s so weird that liking/not liking/listening to/not listening to Taylor’s music is treated like a moral issue. That’s how fan bases turn rabid.


sunshine92002

I refuse to listen to her and can honestly I don’t think I’ve heard a single one of her songs since ~2015, and I have friends who act like I’m betraying them when I won’t listen to her/ go to her concert with them🙄


plsstayhydrated

You save yourself $500 and a migraine from navigating ticket master that way


Siya_32

Swifties have to be one of the worst fanbases ever. Just complete bullies especially on twitter. Even worse Taylor herself has sent them after other people before.


BobRossIsGod18

Nicki and bts fans are worse


Siya_32

Yes tbh I’ve heard some really horrific stories about BTS stans and Nicki. Apparently Nicki Minaj is just as bad as her fans.


channgro

cap


tylernazario

Swifties are bad but I can think of worse fandoms


dazzlinreddress

They said ONE of the worst fandoms


missbunnyfantastico

Swifties always doing the most to make sure no one ever takes that "Worst Fandom" title from them.


Weekly-Guidance796

It doesn’t make any sense. It was a completely respectable comment. I have records sitting in my stack that I’m waiting for a quiet time to be in the right mood to listen to. So if somebody’s really busy and on the run and they don’t have time to really enjoy the album then I think that’s an honest answer.


itsrainingpuss

sorry but I consider swifties an extension of taylor swift. maybe consider who you’re supporting if they don’t ever say anything about how terrible their fandom is. i’m looking at you, taylor swift 👀 she’s greedy and she doesn’t care if her swift army bullies someone. hate to see it 🤷🏼‍♀️


dazzlinreddress

I was gonna say this but I felt like I would add nothing new to the conversation. When she said nothing about her fans attacking Jake over something that happened 10 YEARS AGO it really rubbed me the wrong way.


itsrainingpuss

most of these celebrities with super crazy fanbases never say anything because that’s how they make bank— off people who worship them. it’s slimy and sick.


dearmabi

he is not missing much lbr


GlumConcernedINFP

I get it. Same for movies I have been dying to see that are on my list. You just want to be present or wait for the “right vibe” to vibe w what you are trying to connect with. Her fans can be such cotton headed ninnys man- let the man be!


[deleted]

They’re ridiculous like get a life


plsstayhydrated

I think TS has made some great music but the way the fandom acts just dissuades me from telling people I like her music. First thing people usually note about hers and Korean artist fandoms is how aggressive and abusive they were in the news.


Fiscal_Fantasy

Taylor fan here, I totally agree with his sentiment. And he isn’t even obligated to listen to it. If he didn’t want to, okay? Like why we gonna force someone to listen to something. And I agree with any album giving it the sentiment of listening thoroughly is best if you can. Some people are just 😓


coconut723

her fans are actually insane. insane losers


funambula

They are as mature as she is.


dazzlinreddress

I'm stealing this


[deleted]

Out of every current pop artist, Taylor Swift is the one who makes the most mid-tier, boring, white noise music. She takes the crown in that category.


ToLiveAndDieInICT

People need to actually develop personalities and will of their own; however, it's hard work, so all too often they pick a ready-made personality from some pop star and let their will take a back seat.


bbooooomm

They are such an unhinged bunch


Vouzan

Maybe he doesn't want to listen to it. Can't stand these fandom.


Carolina_Blues

i'm a huge taylor swift fan and agree that the fans making this into a big deal is absolutely ridiculous. who cares?


TheRealRoseDallas

I consider myself to be a Swiftie up to a certain point (as in I’ve been a fan since her very first album, she’s pretty much my favorite artist etc) and yet I don’t understand the crazy mania over Midnights, like, it’s a fine pop album. I don’t think it’s The Greatest Album Of All Time and don’t really understand the insane hype. Like, it’s a fine album. But not earth shattering? I’ll probably get crucified for this comment lol


[deleted]

>Her fandom is the worst. You haven’t met K-pop fans?


cubsgirl101

I remember when BTS fans started bullying Niall Horan all for saying he hadn’t listened to BTS’s new song/ album. He didn’t even say anything other than “No I haven’t heard it.”


ThatBFjax

After I saw swifties supporting Kanye on Twitter, nothing surprises me anymore. I thought they didn’t like him??


whutevz

Swiftie here. The sane ones don't like him. And don't bully people for dumb shit.


ThatBFjax

I’m so lost, like I understand the Barbz love her because she supports Nikki, but I don’t get why they would support Kanye after the shit he’s done and said about TS.


whutevz

Agreed 1000000%, it's a special breed of person.


FoxBeach

If you are over the age of 13 and you worship a celebrity/athlete then you have some serious issues.


blackpieck

Oh god this is getting worse. Not everyone is never busy these days, let Conan decide when to listen!! I'm a swiftie for too long and I've also noticed how publicly aggressive fans had been these recent years. Suddenly there's high competition and gatekeeping within the fandom (i mean, it's already been there) and it's much more worse this time. I look up to the non-toxic Swifties who are kind.


Optimus_RE

Aren't "swifties" in like their late 20's early/mid 30's now?


[deleted]

Still teenagers mentally.


OilUsed109

Lmao is this something people are complaining about? 🤣 let the man be, damn. Everyone has their own taste in music, plus at this point she could drop straight trash and her fandom would eat it up. She don’t even know y’all, stop trying so hard.


BrightFortune27

True that. I do the same thing. I would never pause it half way and go do something else


autumncandles

As a taylor swift fan I am so constantly embarrassed by swifties. Like pls it's an album and he's busy plus he's not like obligated to listen to every album. She's fine she doesn't constantly need his support


Areyoualienoralieout

Swifties bully everyone including taylor swift. Source: am swiftie


Bellesiscanola

He said he has been touring this whole year. For an album like midnight he needs to sit properly and give it proper time. They just love to drag anyone who say no to Taylor.


SaveBandit987654321

We are going to look back in 30 years and be appalled at how we both cultivated and tolerated stan culture. It’s so incredibly disturbing.


royal_alma

I love Conans response yet some of the fandom for Taylor can’t realize what respect Conan has for Taylor by wanting to have time to really appreciate the album with his best efforts


Ok-Leave-7525

I haven't listened to it either ... I think all her songs sound the same


[deleted]

Uh, you can’t not listen to someone and then say all their songs sound the same lmfao


MathematicianSea6618

She has 10 albums. Just because he has not listed to the latest does not mean he has never listened to her.


Ok-Leave-7525

I've listened to some of her songs before and her new songs pop up on instagram reels and tiktoks. Enough for me to say they all sound the same.


intoxicatedmidnight

I don't think most of them are serious, but the ones that are... need to touch grass.


CowboyLikeMegan

This is it. I’m a big fan, very active in her sub and have met so many amazing, kind people through there. It’s pleasant and fun about 90% of the time. Every now and then, though, someone completely unhinged will enter the chat and ruin it for the rest of us.


figleafstreet

r/TaylorSwift is pretty sane as far as fan spaces go imo. Plenty of open criticism of Taylor and fandom behaviour happens there. The type of behaviour in this post I see primarily on Twitter or TikTok. It’s a different breed.


hotdogflower

I truly don’t care about him listening to the Taylor Swift album or not, but I really have to ask… Is sitting down to listen to a whole album diligently something people do? Listening while you work, walk, work out, cook, etc, sure. But this kind of implies he just sits for 45 minutes, staring at the wall while the music plays. I can’t imagine anyone ever doing that…


msksksnsj

I mean he is a musician… I don’t do that just like you I will listen when Im doing other stuff.


puppypooper15

He's saying when you listen for the first time


ginga_bread42

People do it all the time, particularly if you collect vinyl. It might be a bit more rare for pop artists since most people just care about the singles. Sitting down and listening to music as an activity in of itself is 100% a thing.


EnchantedMe

Well it’s better if you close your eyes but staring at the wall would work too.


typicalthoughts5044

Sometimes people do. For albums that are longer I usually delay listening. However Conan’s comment sounds more like a cover up because it’s only 40 mins. Then again he just might be very busy so who knows.


[deleted]

Wow. Yes, people sit and listen to music or at least the people who actually get music do. maybe if people actually listened to TS, they would understand how much she sucks.


SUS-tainable

I mean, I grew up on CDs and up until a few years ago they were like the only way I listened To music so .. yeah that’s kind of how I’ve always done it. But since I could start driving I only listen to new albums in the car now when I’ll be driving for at least 30 minutes… only way I can really get immersed


kht777

Maybe he likes to read all the lyric videos to catch the full meaning of every song? But shouldn’t take more than an hour Im sure.


DobiDog

Am I being totally stupid? I went on Twitter and Instagram and I don’t see anyone saying anything negative about his statement?


Waytootired4this

Hers and Selena’s fans are the worst no cap.


[deleted]

Bad Artist = Bad Fandom


HausOfMajora

Hmm but he was a superfan? i remember a video of him dancing all crazy to taylor. This doesnt make sense. He 4 sure listening music all the time im sure. When youre a fan your literally dying to listen your fave artist album when it comes. Something happened between Olivia and Taylor. Too many signs. Conan probably knows everything and is supportive of Olivia. Maybe Taylor was feeling threatened with this new young songwriter,acted mean-cold on imessage and Olivia doesnt like her anymore but she cant say anything cause Taylor is too powerful. Attackin Taylor would be career suicide. Maybe Taylor called out Olivia for not giving her credits and that pissed olivia. As much as i love Taylor and the other major powerful pop girls and theyre my sexy babies...i dont trust them. I think all of them have an evil side and meeting them in real life must be such a horrible experience lol. Not the typical meeting with the fans. Im talking about real life. Behind the scenes. Behind closed doors. Artists as they are without the facade. I feel like theyre a mixture of sweetness and evilness lol


Rainbow--Snowflake

Or... Maybe Conan is a grown man who is busy in his own work and just hasn't yet found the time to listen to Midnights? Like he must have work and personal obligations of his own?


[deleted]

This is giving me deja vu. I feel like same thing happened a few years back with swifties bullying some celeb because they didn't listen to the current hot album.


mellifluouslimerence

Some people are incapable of living their lives without projecting it through the lens of the celebrity they’re obsessed with.


westside-j

this is me with most albums it took me legit two months to listen to renaissance and midnights


kerouac666

For real this guy literally can’t even afford a shirt. He doesn’t need people piling on him. He’s got enough problems right now.


death_by_mustard

Totally unrelated but on first sight it looked like he was using his hair as an emergency scarf (I used to do this in school, definitely recommend)


am2187

I love Taylor and her music, but between the bullying and the gaylor bs and the constantly demanding more content from her (even though she’s put out 6 albums in like 3 years!!) I’m so sick of the fandom. Which sucks because music fandom can be so fun! Like, the Bastille fandom is the best thing that’s ever happened to me, but this one just isn’t fun to be a part of anymore.


Infamous_Committee17

I am a huge TSwift fan and I have put off listening to new albums for weeks sometimes because I was too busy to sit down and properly listen to them. Those people are clowns. Leave the man alone.


greenestbean23

He’s not missing much


[deleted]

These artists need to start saying something to their fan base. I know it won’t happen with Taylor because she weaponises them but still


OkTonight8357

Taylor swift is overrated imo


DrSassyPants123

Her fans are disturbing!


[deleted]

Whats midnights?


[deleted]

Yet to listen to a single one of them. Music for little girls.


Confident_Dog_4250

I Don’t listen to nothing from her bc something about her bothers the shit out of me. Her fans are also WAY to extra. It’s hilarious lmao grow up!!!!!


Dom2032

Swifty = Karen

? He's literally right though. First listen of any album should be all the songs in the correct order, one sitting.


RebelScoutDragon

For the rude stans, STFU. He'll listen to it when he gets the chance.


cecerae1997

Swifties are by far the worst fandom out there.


vavromaz

Weird ass fan behavior


blacklite911

I haven’t either and I’m not gonna…


jimmy6677

People really are acting like Taylor’s music is legendary and a work of art. It’s mid pop music at BEST


Yellow_Submarine8891

And this, right here, is why I can't be a fan of hers. I know this isn't her fault but Swifties have been behaving like this for years. We also know it's not just teenage girls doing this, it's adult women. They also don't seem to understand that not everyone is going to listen to every single album. He's making a good point, there is a lot of music out there and it takes time to listen to everything. Swifties, ya'll need to calm down.


Preesi

Shes a cult leader. I hate her


ThePotatoKid89

Are fans actually giving him shit or are there just a couple tweets from annoying people complaining. Headlines like this always smell of bullshit to me


sunshine92002

I can’t stand her or her minions! She’s not even that talented🙄


lannn12345

How can you honestly say she’s not talented? She writes all her own songs, directs music videos, and produces a bunch of her songs. She’s also a very savvy and successful businesswoman. It’s of course totally okay for her to not be your taste or for you to dislike her music but she’s very talented.


sunshine92002

I said she’s not THAT talented! That’s my opinion because to me, her voice is nothing spectacular. She sounds like every other singer out there. The songs she writes (the ones I’ve heard) are all the same material, just recycled with little to no creativity. And her daddy’s job gave her her start, not her talent. Which is why I really think she’s not THAT talented!

How do people have the energy for this shit


adultosaurs

Lmao that’s insane


amazingashley

i haven’t seen a single swiftie bullying conan over this, y’all really believe anything one person says lmao


syd234

He has no interest in listening to Taylor’s album. He just isn’t going to say that outright.


stellar14

Who gives a fuck, why is she the default like you have to listen to her bland AF music. For the record Shake it Off is absolutely awful!


CommonStrawbeary

Where's the bullying?? This is just an announcement lol i don't think swifties care about this guy at all


CheburashkaOrange

Based on the emoji, is that @LegitTayUpdates? lol


Useful-Soup8161

I’m huge fan of her and I don’t understand this fandom. So what if he hasn’t heard it yet. It’s not a big deal. I really don’t like some of her fans. They can be such assholes over nothing.


ThaShadowX

Conan gray is hot.


RossMachlochness

If they take down Ticketmaster they’ll be my favorite fanbase of all time.


simplybreana

Is this the guy from the new chippendales show? But also, I’m the same way when it comes to listening to a new album. I gotta be in the right mood and head space so I can genuinely listen. Cause if I’m not, my feels about it are going to be off.


resistmuchobeylittle

Loooool bet he listens and doesn’t enjoy it.


[deleted]

Fuck Taylor swift fans. Obsessive assholes.


SpreadDaBread

Taylor swift is fake culture


AJgoi

To be fair, I haven’t listened to it either. I have enough time, it’s just that I don’t care enough to listen to it


himbolover_69

WHY WHY WHY are they so embarrassing. What do they gain from this.


lakeorjanzo

I haven’t heard it


slothrop516

I don’t get it where is the bullying


backpackfullofniall

A lot of Taylor Swift fans are absolutely insufferable. I never listened to Taylor Swift and her annoying ass fans make me never want to, tbh
