Taylor Swift - Bad Blood (feat. Kendrick Lamar) from Album 1989 (Max Martin)

[B Steady]

Most definetely not!!

I'm a melody person, I don't even really care for lyrics!

Same

[turnaround]

Big article:

The album was executive-produced by Swift and Max Martin, with whom she first collaborated on her 2012 single "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together." Officially, it's not even finished yet: Somewhere in Sweden, Martin is tinkering until the very last minute to ensure the drum sounds are as up-to-date as possible.

You really must love her humour.

And she gave 90 bucks to a fan to have dinner in her birthday.

Taylor disses a popstar in the track Bad Blood. Any guesses who this can be?
My guesses are Katy or Miley. I heard somewhere that Katy "stole" three of Taylors dancers in the middle of the Red Tour and that kind of makes sense if you read what T says in the Rolling Stone article.
haha, she always creates a buzz around her songs writing about exes and now she starts a feud with another famous pop singer. Actually a kinda smart move to get more attention.

I wonder if it's produced by our favorites...

Would be weird if Max co-wrote/produced a Katy diss track for obvious reasons. I doubt he's involved in it.

[uberweiss]

The Swedish pop giant, with help from his protege Shellback, produced almost half the songs on 1989, and is also, along with Swift, the executive producer of the album as a whole. Swift has worked with him before, on 2012's Red, but he plays a much bigger role this time around. "I used to talk about Max Martin like he was this sorcerer who lived in a castle on a hill," says Swift. "And then one time Scott [Borchetta, the head of her label] said to me, 'You know...you can work with him if you want to.' I was like, What?!"

New single out tomorrow.

[j.fco.morales]

Such a disappointment.

[sweetmelody]

Max produced the vocal. Seeing him doing that a lot lately and got to thinking: what is it that makes Max special in vocal production? What is the exact role of a vocal producer? I haven't seen much written about Max regarding this. Usually people take about the melodies and production.

"Out of the woods" - sounds very interesting. I really look forward to it.

Seems like this deserves its own thread since it's not part of SIO.

It's no Max Martin song, but I think it's incredible. I love it.

If you can find it on YOuTube (I saw it a couple of years ago) there's a video of Max in studio with Britney where Max is singing exactly how he wanted her to sing/phrase certan lines on "I'm not a Girl Not yet a Woman".  It made a big impression on me, because he was so great at nuance, really subtle!!

Disagree.

www.swedishsongs.de/smf/index.php?topic=2816.105

I suggest renaming the other thread from "Shake it off" to "1989" and merge these 2 threads. It's unnecessary to open a new thread for every song.
Turnaround?

[j.fco.morales]

I agree with Jules, merge threads.

And I don't like the song at all.
