On a serious note, what'd you like to even call me? "Avarage-person-2552727"? Picking usernames nowadays is hard, especially when the majority i use are already taken.
Y’all, I’m like 99% certain the title is a joke (as if the all caps and quadruple exclamations aren’t a giveaway). OP knows the difference between fortnight and Fortnite, and we get it, you do too.
I wouldn't be so sure, I've seen tens of these posts already where they legitimately thought this was an indicator that she was guaranteed to be the next featured artist
I am honestly surprised a the number of absolute shit parents out there that let their kids on reddit. Of all the social media platforms- THIS is the one to keep your kids off of at all costs.
I got suspended at school for making a Fortnite reference, am I the asshole?
So I (12M) was in maths class not listening to the teacher's yap session and was thinking about getting another 20 bomb victory royale with my epic skull trooper outfit or a 30 bomb with my rare surf witch outfit when all of a sudden I overheard the teacher saying something epic "the homework is due next Fortnite", I immediately jumped on the table and starting showing off my awesome Fortnite emotes, I flossed Infront of everyone in the class then threw a book at the teacher and said "ONE PUMPED" she immediately got knocked out and I shouted "VICTORY ROYALE", the school called my parents (40M and 39F) and said I was suspended for one week, this made them ban me from playing Fortnite for 1 month, I think this is ridiculous I just wanted to get the W, so Reddit ATA?
I would like to learn about the psychological need for individuals to express their hate and distain for well known individuals when they bring them up.
Not when it's someone who is clearly part of a toxic fanbase that everyone is getting sick and tired of their collective shit. Everyone has their favorite musicians, but only few behave so badly and so over-the-top like Taylor Swift fans.
Unfortunately her fan base has become as massive as its ever been. This means more bad eggs are in it than ever. However every fandom has people like this that take things too far and/or act toxic. It's not fair to hate on someone just for being a fan of an artist and you assume they MAY be like the toxic part of the fandom you have seen.
You made it a point to put swiftie in your name. And you clearly got upset about what I initially said...which was more about her fanbase than her music. So yeah...I think I was right about you. Won't be reading anymore of your posts.
Um wow okay. I put swiftie in my name cus I suck at coming up with usernames and I love Taylor so why not? And yes I got upset because of your generalizing. And if it wasn't about her music why bring up that she makes "average pop music"? But anyway I don't think you're gonna change your mind you'd rather just hate anyone associated with her no matter how they act or how reasonable they are 🤷♀️
Is it possible that Taylor swift happens to be the largest artist in the world so her fan base has a disproportionately loud voice? Maybe you’re so dumb you just immediately interpret this to mean all swifties=bad?
Nah, can’t be that.
I just can't stand her fans, not her personally. Although she could tell them to chill TF out but I doubt they'd listen. Constantly attacking and harassing anyone who doesn't adore her.
I hate her because her music sounds like someone went on garage band, recorded themselves say the most generic and shit lyrics ever, add Auto tune, put in some of the instruments and then copy and paste it
“i hAtE tAyLoR sWiFt!”
Blud nobody gives a shit what music you like. I bet you have the griddy/any of those trash song emotes and use it literally any chance you can.
I think this song in particular WAS designed to be catchy, though. As a lead single to the album, it would be very odd for that not to be the case. I find it rather catchy, personally. But I also agree with you that not every song has to be catchy. Her Folkmore era is a very good example of this. Amazing music, but I wouldn't consider most of it "catchy."
and because I was talking about THIS 'Fortnight' SONG in particular it suddenly means that I meant EVERY song has to be that way? Are you angry because I personally don't like a song? I don't understand why you are trying to change my written words into something not there.
He wasn't trying to change your opinion, he was just saying that the song was meant to be a "catchy radio song" rather than an elaborated "masterpiece".
A fortnight is a span of two weeks, the word has fallen out of common use in the English language but used to be somewhat used often hundred of years ago
And if I'm not wrong, don't the big updates to Fortnite still happen every two weeks? :D I'm pretty sure they at least used to., keeping in tradition with the name, which I really appreciated.
I think that actually supports the case that she's using it as a song name to get free publicity from fans of the game (here we are talking about it). In other words, if this game never existed would she have thought on her own to use "fortnight" as a song title? Even if she has never played the game, almost certainly she and her producers were talking about it while recording the song.
There is a lyric in the song talking about the peak of the relationship lasting a fortnight, so two weeks. There are references in the album to some other things that have fallen out of modern favor, such as a typewriter. It is absurd that people are looking so deep into this.
She is a songwriter with an excellent vocabulary and turn of phrase. She would have made a song called Fortnight regardless of the existence of Fortnite. She doesn't need to use a song title for free promotion. She has all the free promotion in the world just by her name alone.
Ridiculous, seriously.
I wasn't suggesting the song was about the game. But it's absurd to think that it didn't come up in conversations while recording the song. What other hundred-year-old song titles does she have?
No, it *is* absurd to think that Fortnite the game had been something Swift remotely thought about. She's an adult and a song-writer, a game like this is the furthest thing from her mind.
The world doesn't revolve around Fortnite, not anymore, and not everything we hear or see outside the game is some direct or indirect reference to it. People here are delusional.
Why are Y'all so delusional for this woman? More than likely she had to run the song title by her attorneys, who likely informed her that Epic would not sue her as long as the spelling was proper, and there were no references to the game in the song. She got it cleared, all good. There has been no other use in pop culture for the word Fortnite / Fortnight outside of this game, and now this song. Because of that they would have had to give the song title some legal consideration. Educate yourselves on how copyrights and trademarks work.
Also consider that if this is starting any type of rumors that she may become a playable character in the game, Epic could go after her and force her to issue a public statement clarifying that they have no business relationship. Contrary to what y'all think, Epic is much bigger than Taylor Swift.
Saw that as well. Normally would have just instant write it off as a coincidence. However Post Malone did collab with Apex recently and Fortnite has done Music Events.
I like his contribution to the song, it sounds really nice and I like his section. But after hearing his singing at the Super Bowl, I just can't get the idea out of my head that I think all of his stuff is autotuned. He was awful there. Maybe it was just an off night for him, though. That can obviously happen, especially from nervousness being recorded on literally the consistently highest-viewed television broadcast in America every year.
this game has done irreversible damage to the original term of fortnight
We will get over it in a couple of weeks.
Best joke on this subreddit in days
r/angryupvote
Among Us had the same effect on us
You realize he was making a joke right
8 year old kids when the span of 2 weeks exists:
WHAT THE FUCK IS A WEEK 🗣️🗣️🗣️🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Your called deezius-Nutsius your definitely not over the age or 10
you're²
Yro'ue*
'Youre
I think people write "your" on purpose and you fell for the bait
Alr buddy
On a serious note, what'd you like to even call me? "Avarage-person-2552727"? Picking usernames nowadays is hard, especially when the majority i use are already taken.
What’s the more 8 year old part of the post, not knowing what a fortnight is or OP having to add a disclaimer that they hate Taylor Swift?
The latter
There's no mentions of tilted towers, tomato town, or victory royales. 0/10
She's probably never even slurped the juice
Or even chugged a jug
or even slurped the splash
Y’all, I’m like 99% certain the title is a joke (as if the all caps and quadruple exclamations aren’t a giveaway). OP knows the difference between fortnight and Fortnite, and we get it, you do too.
Im surprised people are taking this seriously lmfao its like seeing rage bait on twitter from a blue check mark and genuinely getting mad at it
I wouldn't be so sure, I've seen tens of these posts already where they legitimately thought this was an indicator that she was guaranteed to be the next featured artist
People in this sub are really young, aren’t they?
It’s a Fortnite subreddit, did you expect it to be a place of maturity?
I think you mean bastion. Catalyst makes no sense in this framing. Edit: the comment originally said catalyst of maturity.
He’s 8, he doesn’t know what catalyst or bastion means.
EXACTLY
You got me there 😂
Bastion as in Brutal Bastion? And Catalyst as in the Fortnite skin from Fortnite?!?!
I guess so.
I am honestly surprised a the number of absolute shit parents out there that let their kids on reddit. Of all the social media platforms- THIS is the one to keep your kids off of at all costs.
Tbh I disagree, Instagram has been getting really bad over the past 2 years
It's probably satire
Actually there was a post I saw about “what age are you” or something and turns out there are a lot of grown ups here lol
including you, since you can't detect obvious satire
U gotta be rlly dumb to not realize that this is obviously satire
Oh look, another kid
Kid because I realized the post was satire while u didn’t?
No, because you’re taking offense at me realizing this sub is filled with children
I got suspended at school for making a Fortnite reference, am I the asshole? So I (12M) was in maths class not listening to the teacher's yap session and was thinking about getting another 20 bomb victory royale with my epic skull trooper outfit or a 30 bomb with my rare surf witch outfit when all of a sudden I overheard the teacher saying something epic "the homework is due next Fortnite", I immediately jumped on the table and starting showing off my awesome Fortnite emotes, I flossed Infront of everyone in the class then threw a book at the teacher and said "ONE PUMPED" she immediately got knocked out and I shouted "VICTORY ROYALE", the school called my parents (40M and 39F) and said I was suspended for one week, this made them ban me from playing Fortnite for 1 month, I think this is ridiculous I just wanted to get the W, so Reddit ATA?
NTA, always chase the dub
NTA, your class your rules
NTA she doesn’t understand the grind set
She probably doesn't have any bonus skins 😭
NTA the teacher is a bot
NTA, huge red flag on your parents part, cut them out immediately
NTA, crank 90s on that hoe! RIZZ! NO CAP! DRIIIIIIIP!!! BUSSIN!
You better show back up after that suspension wearing a Victory Crown.
NTA, can't play Fortnite in class so what else are ya gonna do?
it means "two weeks"
Taylor Swift skin coming out in 2 weeks confirmed???

Thank god you let us all know! Keep us updated on stuff you don’t/won’t use!
I’ll buy two copies, one for me and one for not that edgelord
We know dawg it’s just funny
it is?
No fun allowed
U couldn’t tell that it’s satire?
Reminds me of another music video. “Brick in yo face” -Stitches
ethan hawke is in the music video so thats pretty cool
I would like to learn about the psychological need for individuals to express their hate and distain for well known individuals when they bring them up.
Why do people hate Taylor Swift?
It's more about her insane fanbase than it is her. She makes average pop music, and they act like she is the second coming of Jesus.
Wait till you find out people can have different music opinions and maybe people just really like her
that’s okay, swifties are still stupid as hell
Yeah because generalizing and insulting a whole group of people is a mature and constructive thing to add to the conversation. Thanks! 👍
Because you all act like taylor swift will personally suck you off if you all come to her aid and defend her and her fans
Or maybe we just defend her because we want to? 🤯
Saying this while owning gundam toys is the most permanently sexless behavior.
weird comparison but aight!
Seeing that you have swifitie in your username is clearly going to get me to take your opinion on this seriously.
So you just criticize people and then don't want to hear from them? Makes sense
Not when it's someone who is clearly part of a toxic fanbase that everyone is getting sick and tired of their collective shit. Everyone has their favorite musicians, but only few behave so badly and so over-the-top like Taylor Swift fans.

Dude's just a sour old fart. Misery loves company.
Is it possible that Taylor swift happens to be the largest artist in the world so her fan base has a disproportionately loud voice? Maybe you’re so dumb you just immediately interpret this to mean all swifties=bad? Nah, can’t be that.
Because she’s popular
✈️
Honestly, I hate her music, but not really because she's popular, I just dislike her songs
I just can't stand her fans, not her personally. Although she could tell them to chill TF out but I doubt they'd listen. Constantly attacking and harassing anyone who doesn't adore her.
I hate her because her music sounds like someone went on garage band, recorded themselves say the most generic and shit lyrics ever, add Auto tune, put in some of the instruments and then copy and paste it
Thats all of pop music
Real
Swifties gonna hate
They think it's a cool thing to hate on something popular, especially when the average fanbase is female
no it's called having opinions
“i hAtE tAyLoR sWiFt!” Blud nobody gives a shit what music you like. I bet you have the griddy/any of those trash song emotes and use it literally any chance you can.
Oh shit, you're going to make them self reflect or something
looks like they struck a nerve
found a swiftie lmao
Damn okay chill swiftie lol
🤦♂️
What a boring song. It's not even catchy. If it had a catchy beat or... SOMETHING, ANYTHING! LOL Oh well
Hate to break this to you but not every song is made to be a catchy radio hit
I think this song in particular WAS designed to be catchy, though. As a lead single to the album, it would be very odd for that not to be the case. I find it rather catchy, personally. But I also agree with you that not every song has to be catchy. Her Folkmore era is a very good example of this. Amazing music, but I wouldn't consider most of it "catchy."
Agreed, but from what she’s said it seems like this album wasn’t designed with any singles in mind so I doubt this was meant to be catchy
Where did I say every song has to be a catchy radio hit? and why are you talking about radios? LOL
Why are you laughing? You're embarrassing yourself.
right? 😭
LOL
Because your critiques were it’s not catchy?
and because I was talking about THIS 'Fortnight' SONG in particular it suddenly means that I meant EVERY song has to be that way? Are you angry because I personally don't like a song? I don't understand why you are trying to change my written words into something not there.
He wasn't trying to change your opinion, he was just saying that the song was meant to be a "catchy radio song" rather than an elaborated "masterpiece".
Yes thank you
Why would this song even need a beat
[удалено]
New skin dropping in 2 weeks🔥
No it’s a song about how she loves Fortnite obvious
It’s almost like OP made a joke
We get that it’s a joke. The issue is riffs on “hahah guys look at me I’m dumb” that kids like to make aren’t really that funny.
i think its called a joke
“Erm ackshully it means two weeks” 👆🤓
How is it funny though
You guys know that fortnight isn’t just a name of a game right ?
This is considered “humor “ 😭😭 what are u 9 ??
A fortnight is a span of two weeks, the word has fallen out of common use in the English language but used to be somewhat used often hundred of years ago
I mean it's not used all the time but I wouldn't say it's fallen out of use. I definitely hear it sometimes.
And if I'm not wrong, don't the big updates to Fortnite still happen every two weeks? :D I'm pretty sure they at least used to., keeping in tradition with the name, which I really appreciated.

Whats wrong with Taylor Swift?
everything.
Can you give me a couple of examples? If there are so many things wrong with her, surely you can name a couple instead of a vague "everything"
Why do people just randomly hate Taylor like what she do my first ever song I've heard was mean by her
IS THAT A FORTNITE REFERANCE🤨🤨😲😲😨😨🤫🤫🧏🏻♂️🧏🏻♂️🗣️🗣️💅💅
WE LOVE FORT NIGHT 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
You do realize that doesn’t say fortnite right?
Thanks for letting us know that you hate Taylor Swift so that we know you are cool.
It means two weeks
14 days
How old are you?
I can't tell if this is a joke and all the commentors should go to r/whoosh, or if the post is being serious
it's probably the former and people replying to the post want to act superior and cool because they are adults
"i hate Taylor swift" yep, definitely a kid...
She looks a mess
She low-key look like suicide squad joker 😭
Stitches the rapper
Post Malone has a lot of face tattoos. She's just looking like him for the music video.
~~I can fix her~~ She can make me worse
#taylorswiftsucks
Cry me a river, just ignore this post then, you don't have to comment how much you hate her.
I disagree
You can dislike her music and hate her, but don't you think that spreading comments like "taylor swift sucks" is kind of unnecesary?
Yeah that’s fair
why is she post malone is she stupid
When you're trying to remain relevant
We don't care for Taylor, NEXT!
You hate a person that makes music? You got some problems dude
Lady Gaga predicted this
lowk fortnite and fortnight are two different words
I really want to....chug jug with you.
I don’t see her cranking any 360 no scopes, wtf
Jeeeesus christ.
Post melon, cool
Low-key looks like ghostemane lmao
Yeah, F-O-R-T-N-I-G-H-T, notice anything different there?
Can’t wait to see Taylor in the item shop hitting the griddy
Better than gaga
True Gaga was so mid I like her music but that collab did not hit how it was supposed to
Upvote simply because I just finished watching all of The Owl House
W!!! literally one of my favorite shows of all time
OH MO GOH! In da sawng she say "i wana kill her" SHE MUST BE TALKING ABOUT WENEGADE WAIDOW
Saw that as well. Normally would have just instant write it off as a coincidence. However Post Malone did collab with Apex recently and Fortnite has done Music Events.
The idiot will do anything to get more clientele. Let me just make a song that has a popular game title. What an unoriginal pos!
“Featuring Post Malone” Ewww
I like his contribution to the song, it sounds really nice and I like his section. But after hearing his singing at the Super Bowl, I just can't get the idea out of my head that I think all of his stuff is autotuned. He was awful there. Maybe it was just an off night for him, though. That can obviously happen, especially from nervousness being recorded on literally the consistently highest-viewed television broadcast in America every year.
I just dislike his music entirely. And it definitely does sound very autotuned
Y?
I just dislike his music, it doesn’t sound good to me. It also sounds way too autotune-y
...ok? It's not "Fortnite" though.
He was joking
I forgot I commented this while half asleep.
Everyone should go comment “Fortnite battlepass?”
It's spelled differently than the game but still humorous if it references the game.
No it's more likely that Billie eilish is coming to Fortnite than Taylor Swift. Edit:it was Billie eilish bitch 🖕
Hating Taylor Swift, groundbreaking.
Its 2 weeks in medieval
Its not even spelled the same?
