“THIS NEEDS TO BE YOUR STANDARD” IKTRR
Artist Jae Stephens' father made her watch Beyoncé as soon as she said she wanted to sing, “this needs to be your standard,” he said to her.
“The second I started singing, my parents plopped me down in front of Beyoncé and were like, ‘If this is what you want to do, then this needs to be your standard.’”
She continues:
“I have the most vivid memory. In Beyoncé’s “Me, Myself, and I” video, there’s a shot where she’s like, “F--- this guy. I’m going to cut my hair, and I’m going to start over.” My dad was like, “You see that? If you’re going to be dedicated, like Beyoncé, you might even have to cut your hair for this s---. Do you want it that bad?” Looking back, that was obviously a wig. She wasn’t cutting her hair. But it instilled a real standard for me. My parents recognized greatness even back then.”

i just know everyone who works with Taylor acts like this around her so they don’t hurt her ego and this is exactly why she keeps releasing trash music 😭

Ahora la teoría de qué Taylor Swift y AIMEP3 son hermanas, es más fuerte, pues Taylor habría lanzado esa canción para que AIMEP3, la escuchara y usarla para sus tutoriales y pudieran reencontrarse.
No olvidemos que es adoptada y desconoce el paradero de su verdadera madre

📰 Paste has rated Taylor's "The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore" with D which equals to 25/100.
"The Life of a Showgirl expanded edition gives us the one thing that could possibly make the initial album worse: more"

Right on cue.
Anytime there’s Black pain to profit off, you can find both of these fucking losers.
Good to see @50cent at the Houston Children’s Charity event. Frances and I really hanging with him. Entrepreneur, musician, and philanthropist. A very good man!!

Secondo me l’unica cosa che dovrebbe fare Taylor Swift in questo momento è prendersi una pausa dal fare musica e ritornare quando sarà più ispirata perché girl non c’è bisogno di rilasciare un album ogni anno solo perché è il tuo lavoro fare musica

JAŸ-Z’s reaction when Rick Rubin played ‘4:44’ 😭
He said it’s the song of his he played the least and he hasn’t heard it since 2017.

“Somehow, in the eyes of Swifties, their idol is both a helpless innocent angel beholden to the whims of the shadowy, all-powerful entity that is the music industry and a too-big-to-fail mastermind who’s never had a bad idea in her life.” — PASTE MAGAZINE

🚨 A mulher que acusou Jay Z de est*pro em uma ação judicial apresentada em dezembro de 2024, agora retirou completamente as acusações. Em uma nova declaração à Justiça, ela afirmou que suas alegações contra o rapper eram falsas e que nunca sequer o conheceu:
“Shawn ‘Jay Z’ Carter nunca me est*prou. Eu nunca conheci nem falei com o Sr. Carter. O Sr. Carter nunca teve qualquer comportamento inapropriado comigo. Não há verdade em nenhuma das minhas alegações contra o Sr. Carter. Entendo que minhas falsas acusações causaram ao Sr. Carter uma dor, um sofrimento e danos imensos que jamais poderão ser completamente desfeitos.”
Segundo a mulher, ela começou a questionar suas próprias alegações em janeiro de 2025. Ela também afirmou que havia informado seus advogados sobre determinadas “condições de saúde mental” e que sua ação original foi apresentada sem seu conhecimento e sem uma investigação independente adequada.
Seu novo advogado, James Blair Newman Jr., afirmou que ela ainda sustenta que foi vítima de agr*ssão sex*al, mas que estava completamente equivocada ao identificar Jay Z:
“Nossa cliente sustenta que foi vítima de agr*ssão sex*al, mas estava completamente equivocada ao identificar o Sr. Carter, e essas acusações eram falsas. O Sr. Carter não a est*prou, não a agrediu sex*almente, não teve qualquer comportamento inadequado com ela e ela nunca o conheceu. Ela pede sinceras e incondicionais desculpas ao Sr. Carter e à sua família.”
Jay Z sempre negou a acusação. No início de 2025, ela retirou voluntariamente toda a ação contra ele, reconhecendo que havia inconsistências em seu relato.
Jay Z continua com o seu processo por acusação maliciosa e perseguição judicial contra o advogado Tony Buzbee, aliado e doador de campanhas de Donald Trump, e seu escritório de advocacia sediado no Texas, e retirou voluntariamente a mulher como réu. Jay Z sustenta que o advogado o pressionou em busca de um acordo financeiro e que deveria ter identificado as inconsistências no relato antes de apresentar as acusações.
A mulher afirmou que não recebeu e não lhe foi prometida qualquer compensação pela declaração a favor de Shawn Carter.

It’s unfortunate that Taylor swift can’t produce excellent albums anymore, but we’re thankful that Beyoncé takes her time to make highly artistic, groundbreaking body of works that creates new worlds for us to travel into!
A Paste Magazine DETONA “The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore”, de Taylor Swift, e concede nota 25/100:
“A edição deluxe de The Life of a Showgirl nos dá a única coisa que poderia tornar o álbum original ainda pior: mais. Você tem 36 anos, Taylor, pode dizer ‘vadia’, ‘puta’ ou ‘bunda’; eu prometo que está tudo bem. Os suspiros de Swift em ‘Cleveland!’ soam tão tomados pelo desejo quanto um orgasmo fingido.”

Confío que Beyoncé nos dará la edición 20 años de 4, porque ajá fue su álbum de libertad.
Que nos saque Dreaming, Lay Up Under Me, Runway y algún descarte del álbum que hizo en honor a Fela Kuti 😭

Everyone finally realising how bad Taylor’s music is. Some of us already knew. All that girl has is numbers from a cult fandom that will mass-stream anything she puts out and call it a masterpiece. 🤭

The misogynistic tone aside, he’s not entirely wrong. Drake and Rihanna are on this table too. But yes, she and her fans helped ruin the way we consume and evaluate music. Music was reduced to numbers. Collaborations became something to demonise. Exceptionalism got diluted, while mediocrity became heavily rewarded, fuelled by media outlets, stan culture and algorithms. Everything that once made music exciting started taking a back seat.
“She writes her own songs.”
Okay, but is the song GOOD? Somewhere along the way, authorship itself became more important than the quality of what was actually written. I’d rather have 100 people write an incredible song than one person single-handedly write an awful one. Some of the greatest music ever made came from collaboration. Artists needed producers, writers, musicians and outside perspectives to challenge them and elevate the work. Now, having too many collaborators is treated like some kind of artistic deficiency.
And I think that’s where she really cracked the code. She found a way to make mediocrity feel like exceptionalism. You don’t necessarily have to recognise great production, exceptional vocals, innovative arrangements or even particularly strong songwriting. The music can be stripped down to something incredibly accessible, familiar and easy to digest, then packaged and marketed brilliantly until its commercial success becomes the evidence of its supposed artistic greatness.
That’s what bothers me. The conversation stopped being “Is this actually great music?” and became “Look at the numbers.” Sales, streams, records, chart positions, variants, first-week figures. Commercial dominance became synonymous with artistic excellence, and those are simply not the same thing.
In a recent interview, Todd Rundgren said Swift “doesn’t do anything particularly great except grow hair. She’s not a great singer. She’s not a great songwriter. She’s not a great dancer.”
