Patient Zero is also just not a good song. It's not awful, but it's not very good either. The song comes off like an attempt to be a girl's girl but ends up coming off as self centered.

Yeah I mean for some reason we all keep pretending she isn’t a hack?? I mean this sincerely like I’ve tried to give Taylor Swift a fair shot and she is just very middling at best as a songwriter, quite mediocre really. I feel genuine sympathetic pity for these people who are so moved by the most shallow kind expression, it’s sad to me. Anyone I’ve ever met that thinks otherwise seemingly has not heard a lot of music generally speaking across time. The collective gaslighting that occurs around her songwriting is unfathomable.

Kim people are dying, children even. Who really needs to grow up here? Assess your priorities please my god. It’s perfectly fine to get passionate about media but it is not worth this kind of energy. If you can’t handle an exchange that feels icky to you on the internet about fucking pop music figures then keep it moving! I do it every day!
