Smash Mouth Just Shaded Taylor Swift's New Album 'Folklore' Making Them More Irrelevant Than They Already Were

On Friday, July 24, Smash Mouth tweeted this out, as obvious shade towards Taylor Swift and her newest album, "folklore."

This tweet was an obvious play-on-words switching the word "folk" with the word "bore."

Taylor Swift's Top 13 Must-Listen Songs For Guys

Listen, Smash Mouth, we understand that the album is a softer, toned-down album with no hyped-up pop songs, but who are you to comment on it? Did your parents not teach you that if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything?

Smash Mouth is a one-hit-wonder band, known for their ONE hit "All Star." Their song is known because of a movie that came out almost 20 years ago about an ogre (don't get me wrong, I love "Shrek"). Taylor Swift, on the other hand, has how many hit singles? A lot. If you need proof, here is a list of all of her achievements during her 13 years of making music.

She is known for more than just ONE song. You know..."You Belong With Me," "Love Story," "Shake It Off," "I Knew You Were Trouble," "Delicate," "Look What You Made Me Do," "Wildest Dreams, Lover," "You Need To Calm Down," must I continue?

Back to "folklore." Taylor is known for experimenting with different sounds when it comes to her albums. She literally switched genres with her "1989" album. And guess what?! She killed it. Now that she's experimenting with a new sound, you don't have to comment that the album is "boring." The album is NOT boring at all, I can confirm personally. It's you versus millions of fans here.

One big name in particular that spoke out about this obvious shady tweet from Smash Mouth was Dylan O'Brien, proving that he is a Swiftie.

Dylan did NOT hold back and just said what he was thinking straight up. And TRUST ME, he wasn't the only one thinking that after seeing the tweet from Smash Mouth.

What did Smash Mouth do during quarantine? Did they write an entire album, record it, produce a music video, and more? I mean, do they even have an album? I don't even know the answer to that.

They're irrelevant, they've always been irrelevant, and they will continue to stay irrelevant. Enough said.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
