Taylor Swift’s highly anticipated 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, finally dropped. Of course, Swifties ran to stream it the second they could, but not everyone is happy with what they're hearing. The reactions have been more divided than usual.
Since dropping at midnight ET on Oct. 3, fans have been analyzing the 12-track project that Swift, 35, has been teasing for months. Social media instantly lit up with real-time reactions as listeners shared first impressions—not all of which were good.
For some, the excitement quickly turned to disappointment. "It’s bad," said one Reddit user. "There, I said it."
Another person echoed the sentiment, criticizing Swift’s lyrics: "Her writing sucks a-- on this album," they said, quoting the track "Actually Romantic"—"It’s kind of making me wet."
Others voiced frustration over the songs not living up to expectations, despite their appreciation for the Showgirl aesthetic.
"I’m so disappointed; I’m a Debut Swiftie and this album is my first pass," said another Redditor.
"I don’t connect with it at all and it’s just…[I don't know]. I’m not comparing it to any past album sound—it’s not that. I just don’t like it. The images are beautiful and I think as a book of poetry it would have been perfect. But the songs don’t hit for me."
Even more specific critiques continued to roll in well after midnight. One fan admitted they stalled partway through listening to the Swift album.
"I’m eight songs in and I just," the Reddit comment started. "I did like 'Opalite.' I think 'Fate of Ophelia' had a shot, but needed editing. I’m not excited to see what’s in store [for] the rest of the album."
Still, not everyone is down on The Life of a Showgirl. Loyal defenders are praising the album for being bold and playful.
"It’s upbeat, fresh, edgy, and FUN," one fan wrote, reminding critics that Swift has always reinvented her sound.
