My daughters are Swifties (36 and 31), but after they listened to the most recent release, they said they won’t let their kids listen to it because at least 3 of the songs are too explicit. They were both disappointed in her change of direction.
Indeed. I heard from adult fans that the “clean” versions of lyrics that were part of her weekend theater release were objectively better writing-wise and that the explicit stuff seems forced and unnatural. But I think Swift is trying to catch up with the edginess trend of her peers .
