So do I but I still didn't like that song, not enough to give it votes anyway.

Nah come on

You talk about having the balls to nom what you like. Have the balls to show us your billy

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Swift writes her own songs and can actually sing without voice correction/autotune

Her musical abilities have merit and deserves more credit.

She's a lot better than the autotune pop garbage that gets nominated in this comp.

I actually don't mind some of Taylor's swift, but Reputation as a whole was a very poorly written and produced album.

 

[hotchilli]

Well I did suggest for someone a few rounds back for songs that have appeared on the soundtracks of the Fast Movie franchise.
