Taylor Swift and BTS I think get the most hate. At this point, I just report and move on. The thing we can't do is give the haters attention, clicks, views, etc. I just ignore, report, and Block.
2026-10-04 09:14

I like your balanced view. ❤
2026-10-04 09:06

She's allowed to have fun and be silly. She doesn't have to be deep all the time. They want her to bad sad & miserable so she puts out " good music " ?
2026-10-04 08:33

You’re using nostalgia as a weapon to hurt yourself, but you end up hurting everybody else. The self harm of never being where you are. You’re missing all the best parts..you hate this song but then that melody is all you want. Taylor is talking to the haters AND Stan’s that are never happy. They want the ‘old’ Taylor, country Taylor, sad Taylor etc.
2026-10-04 08:29

Taylor just laughed at this. The more they post about her music the more it helps period.
2026-10-04 08:25

I mean regardless of the fact whether its valid criticism or not, what does it say abt you if your life revolves around spending your day online to hate on a pop singer's couple of songs ???, you aint damaging her reputation and you aint getting paid, you're just a buffoon ??
2026-10-04 08:18

Thank you Knox!
2026-10-04 08:16

I 100% agree with you. Like hating on Taylor Swift just gets views.
2026-10-04 08:15

Black White or Shades of Gray , we all don't like the same things, however much we are told we should love this hate that ! Maybe we need some Punk anti main steam !Maybe be an Individual have your own taste screw the algorithm before the AI makes it worse ! Making more worker ants is bad but SkyNet is even worse !
2026-10-04 08:14

Not a fan of Taylor but I do agree that celebrities are humans too and should be allowed mistakes and fun and being normal. Like you said, if you enjoy it enjoy it.
2026-10-04 08:05

I honestly don't think I have ever heard one of her songs.
2026-10-04 07:55

Thanks Knox!!! ? ? ?
2026-10-04 07:52

Well said! THANK YOU!!!!
2026-10-04 07:47

It would be nice if people could like what they like and walk away from what they don’t.
I’m not of ‘fan’ of Taylor’s but I do really like some of her songs! Why can’t that be enough for the industry?
I appreciate reactors because they give me the opportunity to hear and make my choices. ?
Keep doing the good work. Everyone else can just settle down.
2026-10-04 07:44

The only reason they are hating on her is, because she is now happy and in a caring relationship, and her men hating fans can not stand it. The 4 songs are brilliant and I am not even a swiftie.
2026-10-04 07:42

I think she's great, but my ears don't agree! ??♀️
2026-10-04 07:31

Taylor gets hate ALL THE TIME no matter what she does. Now, Encore dropped, she is getting hate from everyone INCLUDING the fans. HOWEVER, this happens everytime, lately. The fans hated TTPD. "Its too dark!" But now they love it. TLOS dropped and they hated it. "Its too explicit!" Now they love it. And now they hate Encore. I think some hate it because its not what they want (Rep TV and Debut TV). So, when I see the hate, I just hope Taylor closes her eyes and whispers "This too will be loved."
2026-10-04 07:30

Thank you for speaking on this. I love your reactions to her music.
2026-10-04 07:28

How can anyone say that Patient Zero, with it's theme of DV and emotional abuse and murder not be seriious, adult and deep? How can it be dismissed as shallow or childish?
2026-10-04 07:19

I‘m at a point that I’m so god damn tired. Every time she drops something ppl spread false information and bullshit trying to say supporting Taylor is an immoral act. Treating her like evil incarnate.
But when it comes to actual predators? Crickets. It drives me up the wall.
2026-10-04 07:17

I think Taylor Swifts music is legendary, but don’t much like her new drops . That’s not hate . ?
2026-10-04 07:15

It's the exact same happening to Ronnie
2026-10-04 07:05

Taylor Swift is very talented!!!
2026-10-04 07:00

You’re a good dude
2026-10-04 06:56

Dude, listen to what you yourself are saying, "she has great talent that we have seen on OTHER songs" "there's great production" well, yeah not deneying either of those things. At the same time, the new songs added on this 'movie' are straight up trash and her being a massive, talented artist has got half-a-shit to do with that general opinion. Of course, people are much less forgiving about it, she has the means, time and talent to give her audience a better "product" of work
2026-10-04 06:52

unfortunately it isn't going to change, any true artist or fan will give constructive and honest critique, while most of the internet haters have no talent or create anything...
2026-10-04 06:51

One of the main reasons this is happening is because HATE comments against her is being MONETIZED. Content creators on about every platform are being PAID for this smear campaign. They are able to pay their rent, mortgage and every bill they have by creating such videos to attract hate comments on a daily basis.
Today is the first anniversary of the Showgirl album so the madness is being amplified!!!
2026-10-04 06:42

Just don't listen if you don't like something. Don't feed AI and companies making bank on us being polarized. Peace ?
2026-10-04 06:36

IDK, she really benefits from playing up the victim? It just adds more power to the Swifties. That's part of how she's gained her popularity over the years, she really leans into it. It's all part of the marketing strategy. But I do agree with you that it doesn't mean people should engage with it one way or another.
2026-10-04 06:35

While you absolutely have a point there are multiple legitimate reasons to criticise Taylor Swift. For example she's been exceptionally silent on Gaza.
2026-10-04 06:19

Artist with the most VMAs, 14 Grammys (most album of the years), place in the SONGWRITERS HALL OF FAME, became a billionaire through her music, most number one albums of a female artist, ... she has 148 Guinness World Records and they STILL doubt her abilities... THAT is the most shameful thing about this whole conversation.
Just because she made a happy album, she is hated by the whole internet (at least that´s what it feels like rn). They forgot her other albums and what she is able to do.
They HATED TTPD and now they demand songs like TTPD... WTF is going on????
2026-10-04 06:18

All those haters need some Wood if you know what I mean.lol
2026-10-04 06:18

People hate her music because they think she only writes breakup songs which is not true or they don’t understand some of the words and that’s just sad on them.
2026-10-04 06:16

Not everyone is going to like EVERY artist. Let me see you react to Coheed and Cambria and their 10 minute Prog epic songs. It definitely can’t be denied as a major talent. Just like Taylor. I won’t take away from her talent but I’m not into her music to me it is exactly as you say. Bubble gum pop made for the masses. When she grows up and starts writing good lyrical music then I may like her. I will say this the last song you reacted to of hers “Patient Zero” I really liked your reaction too. Knox,love ?
2026-10-04 06:15

So true bro, that's why you dont have to take hate serieusly. if people hate on the greats, they hate on everyone
2026-10-04 06:14

I’ve come to realize that just because you don’t like something doesn’t make it bad. It might just mean it didn’t resonate with you or maybe you weren’t the target audience in the first place and that’s ok. I’ve never been a jazz fan but that doesn’t make it bad. It has its audience. Don’t like it then don’t listen.
2026-10-04 06:14

Love your attitude?
2026-10-04 06:09

I honestly think before people try and give Taylor grace look into the Justin Baldoni case and how she had a hand in helping Blake Lively hijack his movie and then Blake filed a false sexual harassment case against him. She settled after the judged tossed most of her bs claims. Ruined his reputation and hers
2026-10-04 06:09

I handle this a little differently, I don’t. I don’t acknowledge, engage, react, respond or even read the shit people put out. It’s usually easy to spot and if I start to read criticisms I stop and go on to something else. I make comments on all the things I’m interested in and when people criticize, I just ignore it. I’m not giving them even one atom of my energy. This approach helps me keep my own peace of mind, and that’s more important to me than the assholes on line.
2026-10-04 06:07

Even if this album DOES turn out to be her worst album ever (because every artist has one), it's still as good or better than the best album some artists will ever release. People need to take a deep breath and calm down. When you take the 16 tracks from the full Showgirl album, I think I only put 7 on my playlist. That's nearly half of them, and that's not a horrible album from any artist.
2026-10-04 06:07

Criticism is not Hate. i don't know her enough for 'love' or 'hate'. don't care about the music and the lyrics are probably not criminal.
i think the world has bigger problems than a singer making 'controversial' music.
2026-10-04 06:07

Been this way for years. I have a fairly famous author friend. She was upset about a negative scandal around her work. I reminded her that she can't be successful unless she's polarizing.
2026-10-04 06:06

Thank you for this
2026-10-04 06:03

I don’t hate Taylor for her monotonous music. I hate Taylor for her hypocrisy. That will never change
No such thing as an ethical billionaire
2026-10-04 06:02

HER NEW ALBUM IS TRASH! LOL
2026-10-04 06:02

Well said Knox. ❤ Love your new song with Viktus!
2026-10-04 06:00

Not a fan of her herself, but all her new songs are cool
2026-10-04 05:52

Thanks for being the voice of reason, Knox! Appreciate your perspective. Love your Patreon.
2026-10-04 05:41

Thank you as always for creating such a kind and respectful space of critique. I always love your reviews because you really deep dive into techniques and the wordsmith side of what the artist does, and create such a positive space in the process. It makes me smile because that's what it should be about and whether it's your preference or not, you always highlight what you appreciate and show respect for the artist. I feel like some of the haters out there really have no idea how hard it is to make art and yet they judge so freely. I love Babylon, and I wholeheartedly put it among the top of my favourite TS songs, and thought the video for patient zero was so powerful and full of depth, I really love those two tracks. TLOASG isn't my favourite, but I also think there's a lot of merit in it and things aren't pass/fail like people make out. Thank you for addressing all the hate in such a beautiful way and being a voice for what needs to change.
2026-10-04 05:39

Imagine the hate is SO MUCH that Knox has to make a video to tell everyone to calm down.
2026-10-04 05:39

I feel like a lot of people did not get taught the saying “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it”. The internet has made people so comfortable with being rude and negative. It’s okay to not like a song, or not vibe with a particular artist. But it’s how you say it and go about it that matters. A lot of the “criticisms” people are giving are straight up hate. If you wouldn’t say it to her face or talk to your friends/family in that way then it’s not constructive criticism. It’s just being a bully. People hide behind their screens and talk shit because they don’t have to take accountability for it. For the people that enjoy the music, more power to them. It’s really unnecessary to tear others down for liking something and showing enthusiasm.
2026-10-04 05:38

I don't get why people feel need to hate. If you don't like, just don't listen. Scroll. It's not that hard
2026-10-04 05:36

Right!! Totally the hate is completely unjustified… I mean she just tried to completely destroy a man’s career. No biggie … those texts with Blake were sooooo cute!!?!
2026-10-04 05:36

I dont like her! Sorry.
2026-10-04 05:31

Thank for bringing this up, Knox!
2026-10-04 05:29

Well said!
2026-10-04 05:27

Thats the internet for ya
2026-10-04 05:24

You are fantastic Knox and this is why I follow you on multiple platforms
2026-10-04 05:22

this hate reminded me of eminem's "But every time I come out, they expect me to fuckin' reinvent the wheel" - She has already proven what she can do, and now she is allowing herself to have some FUN.. but apparently that is a crime lol
She even talked about this on her grammy' museum interview, how she likes to play on human contradiction. people like to put artists inside this little boxes. they put her in the "amazing songwriter" one, but Taylor is a human - she is that AND ALSO goofy and silly and tongue and cheek as hell.
anyways. I just feel bad for anyone who is so single minded that they cannot understand how someone else can have multitudes.
2026-10-04 05:22

it's all BS and it makes me sick!
2026-10-04 05:22

Knox 100%
2026-10-04 05:21

Well said, thanks Knox
2026-10-04 05:18

Dude I have never like her. I don’t hate her . She is processed entertainment.
2026-10-04 05:17

Speak on it ?️?️?️
2026-10-04 05:17

Your right Knox!?
2026-10-04 05:16

Trueeeeeee
2026-10-04 05:16

Most people who criticize the album actually like her music. These is a clear difference between constructive criticism and hate.
2026-10-04 21:21

People have been conditioned over time.
It's Taylor's thing and if they don't like it simply don't listen.
She is true to herself.
People have forgotten how to engage in a civilised way, it's mental to me.
2026-10-04 20:35

its annoying watching everyone vocalize everything on the internet. the haters add more of her content to their feed when they comment or argue with fans. they always say the most uneducated things. just dont like her, shut up and move on. and the taylor fans who hate too much, you might not like every song. some are lyrically poetic and some are just a simple good time. some are differnent genres. just skip the ones you dont care for. being a fan and ragging on her music is disrespectful. REMEMBER THIS SAYING EVERYONE "it just not for me, not my thing" thats what you say in general for things and its respectable ?
2026-10-04 20:24

Maybe some of it is also the drama around her. I watch law content and don’t really follow swift at all, but she has been a somewhat prominent figure in one of the main celebrity lawsuits of the past two to three years and it led to a public fall out with one of her former bffs. I could be mistaken, but maybe some of the negativity is frustration with her image of which the law suit and its content is part of.
2026-10-04 20:12

I agree but the song is bad.
Talking about patient zero.
2026-10-04 19:03

"artist" as long as no one call pop stars musicians I have no issue.
2026-10-04 19:00

Well I think the problem is the polarization. This album is for sure Taylor’s worst album, in my opinion. However, is the album absolute unlistenable trash? No, it’s just that every single album before this one had way more redeeming qualities and fewer pitfalls. Are there problems that could have been fixed with some editing or different promotion? Yeah. So it’s not - like the haters say: complete garbage, cringe, there’s nothing to like here. But it’s also not - like the fans/stans say: an amazing album, up to par, on the same level as TTPD, the sister albums, etc. The songwriting is simple at times, there’s a lack of cohesion, the theme could have been used way better. But it did seem like she had a lot of fun making this album and she seems really happy in her relationship. And nowadays within the Taylor Swift fandom, it seems like you NEED to pick a side. You need to either say that this album is amazing, she’s a genius, there’s nothing wrong with the album and it’s all flawless bops, start to finish. Or you need to completely tear it to shreds and say how you can’t believe she had the guts to even release such a travesty. And I’m neither one of those, because it’s a very middle of the road album when it comes to general albums and unfortunately that’s a very low rank for a Taylor Swift album because of the bar she has set.
2026-10-04 18:54

Taylor likes to do each album differently. Showgirl is a theme she’s never done before. Everyone acts as if her talent is gone. That album brought in a lot of new fans . Why do Taylor’s fans think she’s going to put out a crap number 13 album? No freaking way! I think Encore proves that. Patient Zero and Babylon are pure Taylor.
?
2026-10-04 18:53

Exactly you see the eminem hate it's same shit
2026-10-04 18:07

Look, Knox. I’m probably the last person to follow the crowd, and not out of snobbery, but because I’m very much used to forming my own opinion about things through direct experience. And while there is some truth in what you’re saying, I think the whole issue of the hatred towards Taylor Swift is actually much simpler than this broader argument about the social media era.
They poured an enormous amount of money into an artist who, on her own, probably wouldn’t have made it out of her home state. There was an article about how magnificent Taylor Swift was practically every day. She even ended up eighth in a ranking of the best guitarists of the last twenty years, not because of her technical ability, but because of her influence. Documentaries, constant advertising, relentless media exposure: at that point, I think it’s fair to say that her popularity has gone well beyond her actual artistic talent.
I’ve tried listening to her more than once and, beyond a few vaguely unusual rhythmic and metric ideas, I don’t think there is enough material there, purely from a musical standpoint, to justify the level of adoration surrounding her.
My impression is that the major labels heavily promoted her because they realised they could build an enormous market around that product. Her catalogue deals with themes that are very easy for a large part of her audience to relate to, particularly relationships, heartbreak and revenge. I don’t think that necessarily says anything about her fans as such; I simply mean that, from a commercial perspective, those are themes that are incredibly easy to turn into a mass-market product. I mean, we’ve reached the point of absurdity where I can open a newspaper (not social media, an actual newspaper) and find an article about Taylor Swift’s favourite breakfast. At that point, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to wonder whether what we’re dealing with is simply extraordinary artistic popularity, or an enormous and highly effective media machine built around a celebrity.
2026-10-04 17:56

Too many jealous people over her success some people just can't understand it she's just brilliant❤
2026-10-04 17:41

King !! ❤
2026-10-04 17:36

Oh, yeah. She TOTALLY doesn't deserve the hate for her plane usage, dating a 17 year old at 22, having charli xcx open for her, then proceeding to release some exclusive bullshit only in the UK just to take the top 1 spot there instead of charli. Come on, guys, everyone makes mistakes ? she's just 40teen
2026-10-04 16:55

Oooooor maybe she's just mid now ?♂️
2026-10-04 15:27

I hear your argument. You are being 'nuanced' about the Taylor Swift 'Hate' trend. However, your nuance has an 'appeasing swifties' tone to it, which is driving the clout towards your channel. It's fair, but to say that it is uncalled for is redundant.
TS has always been a trend-setter in her own way, it's a huge responsibility that she's taken upon herself, but she's not delivering, she's not making good on her promises to her audience which brings out more criticism and analysis on her. Being a billionaire trend-setter also means your audience is your customer and customers give reviews, they criticize you for what they see. It's valid. So swifties need to calm down too. Accountability is not optional for trend-setters. You cannot produce a circus and then refuse to claim your monkeys.
2026-10-04 15:11

yeah, I've seen a lot of hate videos about Taylor
2026-10-04 14:54

You have become a voice of conscience.
2026-10-04 14:36

It is great. The original record was great with 1 or 2 shrugs (Cancelled! is a skip for me), and The Encore is 4/4. The pattern is: Taylor releases music. Half the world shits on it no matter what. Half the world adores it no matter what. Six months later, it’s grown on people. When the next project comes out, general consensus on the last one evolves to be “her best work.” But whatever the new thing is: they will shit on it. Too many songs. Not enough songs. Lyrics too highbrow. Lyrics too basic. Love the synths. Where are the acoustics. The fact she has her mental health and is positive and inspiring to the people who actually know her and work together with her says it all to me.
2026-10-04 14:30

Ahhh maturity ?
2026-10-04 14:19

Honestly, the hate is ridiculous
2026-10-04 14:18

?
2026-10-04 14:14

The songs she put out is more addressing things I think she was waiting for her marriage to address. Well her marriage happened: so we addressed the narcissist in the past and her offering his victim support. Her haters about her relationship. Her regret for dating someone and hurting them. Then the story of that the grass is greener.
I don’t think it’s the best ever, but know who I’m not? Taylor Swift. Know what I don’t have l? her career. She’s in charge of her career. She can write and produce whatever she wants. I’ll listen but whether it gets put on a playlist is another story.
Ppl need to calm down. Don’t try to manage the pop star that went from teen unknown to mega billionaire pop star. She knows what she’s doing and she’s going to do what she wants.
2026-10-04 13:59

Im sure they dont riot this loudly when they hear a bruno mars, gaga, ariana song they dont like
2026-10-04 13:33

Just think about this, as a gen X person, I remember hate towards Michael Jackson and many other great artists of the 80's like Duran Duran, Phil Collins, Madonna, etc. Today we see how great they were/are.
2026-10-04 13:26

Ultimately, I cannot help but agree with what was said.
2026-10-04 13:22

In an interview with one of the LE SSERAFIM members, I remember her saying she wanted to grow but was also worried that the more known a group is, the more people criticize them.
2026-10-04 13:22

Babylon was next-level. The rest was good and growers. They aren't her best but there are moments of her best. I think the expectation around her will result in her falling short forever unless she consistently tops her best. But you see it will any artist that remains successful over decades where some periods work better than others as they experiment. She will fail to have any future hits unless she tries to evolve, and that evolution requires not matching what she did in the past because staying the same will guarantee that her career stalls or dies. Not every experiment works out and most of the loudest complaints are comparing it to their favourite album and production which, of course, the new stuff will not be similar to. If it were those same people would claim it sounds too much like that album and complain about that. She literally cannot win. TTPD recieved a lot of similar criticism only for that to completely change in retrospect. So it wouldn't matter if it were her best work or at least contained some of it, no one will offer the deserving work praise until a few years down the line when complaining about the next thing.
2026-10-04 13:21

It actually pisses me off when people just want to talk to me about how much they hate about her to me. Like they have no idea she saved my life.
2026-10-04 13:08

This is the epidemic of opinion . Social media is the problem
2026-10-04 12:31

Taylor Swift needs to take a page off John Cena’s playbook and just “Embrace The Hate”. For anyone who knows the comparison/similarities between Taylor Swift and John Cena, then you get the joke. LOL
2026-10-04 12:27

Taylor has no need to prove herself 20 years into a very successful career. Just this year she’s inducted into 2 Songwriters Hall of Fames. Every album is different she has had plenty of growth as an artist. She is multifaceted and can give you deep meaningful songs or fun silly bops. Social media is not real life and the hate on there is not how the album actually performed. Just on Spotify Showgirl has 5.5 billion streams on only 12 tracks from the original version and we are just at the 1 year mark today. The Fate of Ophelia was the biggest hit of her career. The misinformation on social media has lead to people thinking this album was a flop or her worst one. It was far from it. Literally has been the biggest hit of her career. And I’m not saying you have to like the album because I get it some people just don’t like that style of music. No one needs to hear about how much you hate something when you weren’t going to like it anyway. An article came out last year after it was released stating there was a proven smear campaign. There were viral post about her being a Nazi because she had a lightening bolt necklace (which was for lyrics in Opalite) and the person who started it admitted they just wanted to pay their rent. People calling her a racist because she said “onyx night” which is a reference to the dark times she was in during The Tortured Poets Department album. Taylor has become the most profitable thing on social media. People hate her personally because she’s a billionaire which is part of their critique of her music. I get it with the whole billionaire thing but her assets include a music catalog that’s worth $900million alone. She pays her team well with salaries and bonus, health insurance too. She donates a ton of money. She doesn’t have make up lines, or other brands. It’s all from her art. They “review” her album/songs with already a hate for her. Why does anyone care about what an artist is doing that they don’t even like. You don’t have to listen to her… I promise you she doesn’t care what you think (I don’t mean you Knox you’ve always been supportive lol). Sadly you have Stan wars attributing to it, they love to spread the narrative that she blocks people on the charts on purpose. You have subgroups in her own fanbase that are so parasocial and they’ve created these false narratives that she’s a lesbian and her life is a lie (I know it’s strange), you have “fans” that only want depressing songs so how dare she be happy, you have bots/trolls just trying to monetize, it’s political when you’ve had the President tweet that he hates Taylor Swift since she is democrat. Like seriously wild stuff. And in the end she is still going to be making her music. It’s not going to stop her, she’s not going to have a nervous breakdown and cry about people being mean to her. She truly loves what she does. Sorry my rant is over lol it’s just so annoying when negativity is the loudest but it’s not actually the majority, it’s not actually how the album performed. Taylor has spent 20 years building a dedicated fanbase and any artist should be looking at her to see how they should build their own careers.
2026-10-04 12:21

I have never gone out of my way to listen to music I don’t like. I just don’t listen. Easy. I feel like the people who seek out things to hate are just miserable and feel the need to share it.
2026-10-04 12:16

Obviously there's the 10 cents of engagement everyone gets every time she sneezes, but i think the bigger thing is her mere existence is considered 'problematic'. People have lost all objectivity and want nothing more than to find any excuse to hate her. She has been completely dehumanized both by stans and haters. If she shares joy or humor, it's considered out of touch because how dare she be happy when the world is burning. Anything serious is picked apart and called pretentious or ignored entirely. So it can't just be not to your taste or not your sense of humor - it has to be evidence of something nefarious. Algorithms have trained everyone to think everything should be exactly what they want at all times..... what people demands from her is impossible and I think she recognized that on her last album and stopped trying to please everyone and allowed herself to just have fun.
2026-10-04 12:15

This is true in all of life.
2026-10-04 12:08

Tudo o que ela está passando é merecido. Ela participou de hate train de vários artistas na indústria, muitos deles mulheres. O maior exemplo foi a Katy Perry.
Ainda vou vê essa daí ter a maior queda que a indústria musical já viu na história.
2026-10-04 11:55

Yup - it is a function of social media … people sitting around with no life … hating on everything.
2026-10-04 11:38

Hating on joy…. Sigh
2026-10-04 11:34

Hate is being monetized on platforms like TikTok and Youtube and sadly, people know that and take advantage of it. Example: A girl on tiktok put out a video saying that Taylors lightening bolt necklace was n*zi symbolism. People reported her and TikTok took the video down. She then posts a video CRYING about "how am I going to pay my rent now?!" openly admitting what they were doing ... I just cannot take these people seriously anymore.
2026-10-04 11:27

I don't hate her but when her songs come on, I turn it off. Just not my kind of music.
2026-10-04 11:17

❤ you are amazing at analyzing music, i am so happy i found u
2026-10-04 11:16

Why care about her of you don't listen to her?
2026-10-04 11:16

What? I thought this was a hip hop reaction channel... man
2026-10-04 11:16

Love ur opinions knox ❤ love ur philosophy on life and music thanks
2026-10-04 11:12

THANK YOU!! you're soo on point!
2026-10-04 11:03

Could not agree more Knox! Love you and your reactions!
2026-10-04 10:58

I am a HUGE Swiftie. And I like Showgirl but LOVE The Encore. But I don't go hating on every album artist release. I am a Michael Jackson stan and I hate his Invincible album but I don't go saying it's awful, it's not for me. I don't like TS Folklore or Evermore either, again, there aren't my type of music. Yes there are some tracks I love but AI won't buy the album for 1nor 2 songs but I don't say because they don't appeal to me that they are the worst albums she's ever released. And nothing everything has to be so deep. I love her Thug Story and many people hate that. I'd buy that without second guessing because that is what I like. I am so sick and tired of the hate. Showgirl has many good songs. Encore has better songs, that's just how they hit you, nothing on Taylor!!!!
When Reputation came out everyone hated it. I person find that is my favorite that shell never top. And now so many haters are like where is Rep TV??? And when Rep VT does drop there will just be more hate on that.
2026-10-04 10:54

You’re so right Knox.
2026-10-04 10:50

She's 10 times worse than Ed Sheeran. Her fiminism is fake and her writing sucked ass in the last album
2026-10-04 10:46

It's not hate. People just don't like the music. A lot of the people you all are calling "haters" are fans that have been supporting for over a decade. People are critiquing her work. That's a good thing. That's how artists grow and do better. Being "yes, men" and praising everything your fav does is how you end up with mediocre work.
2026-10-04 10:45

It’s ridiculous
2026-10-04 10:34

Not a particular fan of Taylor, so I just looked at your video to see what the issue is. I thought it might be about her political or other viewpoints, but it’s about her music?!?! Hey, I have a solution…..if you don’t like it, don’t listen and moooovvveee ON!
2026-10-04 10:31

the issue isn't the shitty music it's the fact that shes a weirdo
2026-10-04 10:31

i can't speak to the hate...i can speak to the mediocrity...i'm pretty indifferent to tay tay...i'm not her demographic...i simply would like to watch reactors react to stuff other than her for clicks...but that's me...
2026-10-04 10:21

Thinking of the songs Babylon and Cleveland, I couldn’t help but imagine what the haters (not those giving honest critiques) would do if, as in Babylon, we lose even our small access to someone as gifted as Taylor should she take a step back from it all because of the massive hate she receives. People forget there is a person behind the music that truly only she can dictate. They aren’t being forced to buy her music. And buying her music doesn’t give a free pass to tear the person down rather than what they may not like about her music. When it’s gone, they will hate her for not allowing them to continuously spew vitriolic hate upon this beautiful, gifted, loving, giving, and sensitive artist. I don’t know of any other artist where the public feels they have the right to determine who they should love, date, marry, all to keep her in a bubble of misery because they feel she writes lyrics more poetically when she is suffering depression. When it’s gone, it will be gone, and that will be the biggest loss for this world to lose even the smallest access to one of the greatest artists of my lifetime. The negativity they keep slinging will ricochet back on them one day. ???
2026-10-04 10:09

When people said that she need to divorce her husband or her mother's cancer to relapse in order for her to make good songs again, you know that all this hate is just money grabbing rage bait. Or people really do has lost the damn plot.
2026-10-04 09:59

I think I’m going to have a listen to YOU NEED TO CALM DOWN to soothe my spirit against hate. Anybody’s hate is their problem, truly. Yuck. Gag. Hate turns my stomach. Thank you Knox ☺️
2026-10-04 09:59

Mention the GREED too. Taylor put out her video first on for pay sites so that her fans would need to buy to watch so she could get kick back before allowing it to be viewed on YouTube. People are fed up and bad product isn't stood for, she's way to hyped to begin with anyways.
2026-10-04 09:48

I just skipped over those videos.
2026-10-04 09:47

Thank you Knox … I’m not a swifty , but I love her music , and no not every song , the ones I don’t care for I skip .. she’s ridiculously talented, by all accounts a damn good person . She owes me nothing ,
I’m enjoying her happiness. It’s refreshing.
And best part ? Whenever I need gutted , sad Taylor it’s all still there .
2026-10-04 09:34

Thank you, Knox! Taylor is putting out different things because her life has completely changed. Of course she’s going to have different lyrics and sounds. No more sad girl. They want her to be sad and miserable to put out more like TTPD. She was broken during that time but she’s healed, happy and healthy now. Just let her be happy. Keep scrolling if you don’t like it. Geez!!
2026-10-05 08:35

I agree, this album is her worst to me. Cleveland is god awful BUT I still love her, support her, and will continue to do so. I think constructive criticism is a good tool. And to those who love this album, I’m happy for you. Disagreeing is ok, just don’t disagree just to get engagement.
2026-10-05 08:18

Idk man the only people I've seen dragging this album are hardcore Taylor fans who say it's her second worst release. But then again I don't care about it one way or another so maybe I'm just not seeing it.
2026-10-05 07:26

I just dont like her becues people call me taylor swift becues my name is taylor and that automaticly makes me a swifty no no it dont and im a boy for God's sakes
2026-10-05 07:24

In case anyone’s interested I have compiled my personal list of songs I like to love. These are either bonus tracks, singles not included on the original album, extra songs from Taylor’s Version. The songs I like are very good and I could listen to them now and then. The songs I love are pretty perfect to me. Everything is subject to change. I’m not including the new 4 because they’re too fresh. I like 2 of them so far at least lyrically. I’m not including extended/remixes of her songs.

Preach knox
2026-10-05 05:50

I never hate where music is concerned. If I dont like a style I just switch off and watch ren, beatles, sting, tears for fears, omd. My lineage is not limited. I'm 70 years old so its a 70 year old thing.
2026-10-05 05:24

What r u talking about. She’s been huge for a long time and has had more support than any other artist I’ve ever seen and im old !
2026-10-05 05:10

I’ve never liked her music so I just move along like normal, lol. No reason to get mad about it. That’s weird.
2026-10-05 05:04

It’s just 4 bonus tracks. Come on. Get a life.
2026-10-05 04:17

Beyoncé and Taylor have made some of the most out of this world amazing mainstream albums. And yet they always face scrutiny. And are held up to lofty standards. Just Let them Be. And you can’t say they aren’t targeted by trolls for being powerful women or in Bey’s case for the color of her skin. It’s disgusting. And yet people deny deny deny their prejudices and call us woke.
2026-10-05 04:17

People are ADDICTED to hating and trolling. I’m not a religious person but more than ever it almost feels supernatural. With a troll running my country to the ground. Disguising themselves as holy. Brainwashing the masses. Meanwhile good artists get shit on to distract us from the actually evil people. And evil IS real even in a non biblical sense. People killing each other is the worst thing imaginable for humanity. Obviously. And people justifying it is just as dangerous. But they’ve been doing it throughout the history of humanity. Sometimes the evil is stronger than others. When evil is strongest is at times of war. It’s common sense. And yet there will always be people who choose evil. Who choose to justify hate. Who choose to hate on people. On races. On countries. On movie stars on Taylor. Hate the haters. Not the lovers.
2026-10-05 04:12

? ? ? thankyou! ❤
2026-10-05 04:06

I don’t think it has anything to do with her music, really.. a lot of her fans think she’s sold out.
2026-10-05 03:26

I like the Encore! It's not my fave Taylor personally, but it's fine and it has it's place in her discography imo
2026-10-05 02:46

Taylor also experiments and shape shifts a lot. It’s like people don’t want her to evolve and try new things
2026-10-05 02:45

Not hating, Drake, T swift or top50 list usually aint for me, exceptions happen
2026-10-05 02:40

Jealousy is all it is ❤
2026-10-05 02:29

Get them clicks brodie
2026-10-05 01:57

People that listened to Taylor like all facets of her songwriting the silly to the serious to the petty
2026-10-05 01:35

I know, when I watch your content, Knox, that you will be fair and balanced. I also know that you will have insights and observations that allow me to "hear" something I might have missed. It is also true that, after watching a video of yours, I find myself listening to genres that I normally do not seek out. I am striving to be as fair and open as YOU are! Thank You. I will be listening to Taylor's new album and, honestly, that would not have happened without YOU!
2026-10-05 01:30

Thank you. Stop the HATE!
2026-10-05 01:16

I don't understand all the hate for Life of a Showgirl albums including the Encore songs. Its my second favorite album of Taylor's. (Reputation is my fav).
2026-10-05 01:11

Look i am not hating on her i just don't support her anymore because she mess up and never face up period.
2026-10-05 00:44

?? ?? ??, well said!!!❤❤❤
2026-10-05 00:31

That's so True. Keep going bro
2026-10-05 00:28

I'm absolutely fine with CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. It's just people who hate with no reason to back it up with that piss me off. She's proved herself and she's happy which makes a difference. She will write about different things and I like this new drops.
2026-10-05 00:26

I seriously don't understand this hate... I'm not a swiftie... I'm just c casual listener and after I listened to it I felt maybe I won't listen to this again and went on with my life...and I still have some songs of her on my playlist mostly from folklore...it's just a matter of taste....why make fuss about it
2026-10-05 00:25

something tells me she will be okay
2026-10-05 00:02

I love and support Taylor 100%. I pay no attention to the hate. I've followed her since her debut album. The haters are gonna hate. ENCORE is great. Thanks Knox for commenting about this. ❤?❤?❤
2026-10-05 00:01

Vote #KnoxHill in November
2026-10-05 00:00

My honest opinion of the encore songs is that they are boring and did not grab me. That’s not hate, it’s just my initial reaction. I loved life of a showgirl and was expecting something else from the encore. The flip side to the argument is that just because Taylor’s a massive success doesn’t mean her fans have to LOVE everything she puts out. We have the right to pick and choose what we connect with and most people can dislike a song or an entire album but still appreciate the artist so I think a lot of the online “hate” is just rage baiting in most cases. Normal people are just voicing an opinion and moving on with their lives. I look forward to whatever Taylor releases next because there is a chance it will grab me and become a hit on my personal playlist, but these four just aren’t for me and that’s okay.
2026-10-04 23:48

Im repeating another here and agree. Shes 30+, married, and still singing to a teen crowd about breakups and mean girls. She needs to evolve.
2026-10-04 23:48

Completely agree. These people are assholes. They throw negative crap but behind closed doors they are listening and singing as loud as they can over and over again "Patient Zero". I personally have observed it on 2 separate occasions. Cracks me up and Taylor knows it. She has been through this over and over again and the out come, let me introduce Ms. Taylor Swift
2026-10-04 23:19

Listen, I'm on the cusp of Boomers and Gen X, and I remember when DISCO DUCK hit the airways. I may not like some of today's music, but that's a low bar I don't think anyone else will reach! ?
2026-10-04 22:49

Falling in Reverse is another great example
2026-10-04 22:43

You got this right!
2026-10-04 22:39

She may be getting this hate because she decided to help her friend try to take down Justin Baldoni. He turned out to be innocent of any and all wrongdoing. He really was just a nice guy being taken advantage of by two lying women that wanted what was his. Pretty disgusting behavior. And distancing herself from her friend doesn’t change what she did.
2026-10-04 22:09

well, her fans are like beasts too... you cannot say anything negative without getting backlash for it.
And her four songs are just mass produced by Max Martin.
2026-10-04 21:45

Imagine defending a grown woman dating teenagers.
2026-10-04 21:36

I mean...I've just never liked the sound of her music.
2026-10-05 21:08

Hating on a Talented, Successful and a Happy Woman, is like their kind of job nowadays, like tf dude!!!
2026-10-05 21:04

What if you simply dont like her style of music..Not saying shes bad or that her music sucks. What about that? Everyone has preferences. Hating every little thing she puts out though is crazy work. Even with artists who are my style there are songs i dont like.
2026-10-05 20:47

I do not like Taylor Swift's music, it doesn't vibe with me. That's it, and that's how it should be. No disrespect, no hate, just "it's not for me, ah well."
2026-10-05 19:08

As Taylor once said, she makes music for herself and to express what is on her soul—she doesn't create commissioned work—but of course, she is happy when others like it.
2026-10-05 16:35

We don't hate it, the album is just garbage. Plain and simple.
2026-10-05 15:46

No we don’t. In fact it’s pretty apt and I’m in the wrong department here
2026-10-05 15:33

I don't hate her. She likes cats. But her music is not for me.
2026-10-05 14:41

Don't worry about it, this is normal. Hence the saying "You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain". Always turns out to be true
2026-10-05 14:15

I don't even get a discussion.... if ppl don't like her or her music... why are they even listening to it. Listen to something you like and built that up rather than tearing someone else down. The added attention even negative probably helps boost streams and sales anyway ?
Good points tho Knox ?
2026-10-05 11:28

Some people just get on my nerves, you know? But whatever. She’s happy, I like the new songs and I like that she seems to be catering to herself in this era. I have zero complaints and that, at the end is what matters to me. People can be horrible.
2026-10-05 11:15

If she weren't a "mean girl" behind the scenes I wouldn't hate on her. Fuck bullies!
2026-10-05 10:40

She doesn’t toe the line—of course the industry is coming after her
2026-10-05 09:41
