#honestly I feel like I've seen harsher reactions about Taylor from Paramore/Hayley fans which is a whole other thing

Ashley!! Curious to know what you think of Electric Touch and also what the wider FOB fandom thinks of it :)

I am entirely obsessed!! I've been trying to equally listen to the entire album, and I've failed spectacularly lol. Electric Touch is easily my most listened to on the whole album.

I think Taylor and Patrick's voices really suit each other! The bridge drives me crazy!! They complement each other so well!! Plus even beyond the vocals I like the lyrics!! "All I know is this could either break my heart or bring me back to life" is a feeling I can totally understand despite never being in a relationship.

Obviously I'm biased toward both parties, but I can safely say this song did not disappoint me! It's making me want a full collaboration between Fall Out Boy (the whole band) and Taylor even more than I already did. In the meantime, I'm happy to enjoy Electric Touch!!

I've lowkey been avoiding seeking out opinions from the wider FOB fandom. The Swemos (Swiftie emos) seem really excited about it! Like some people want it to play at Emo Nite events even. I've seen a couple older FOB fans say they like it. Some FOB fans are upset that Electric Touch is FOB's top song on Spotify rn, but I think they should have anticipated this. Also I know some people complained that the song is too pop, but again I don't know why they would expect otherwise. So long story short, I'm not sure what the consensus is or if there is a consensus! It would hurt my heart a little bit too much to see FOB fans trashing Taylor or vice versa.

Thank you so much for asking, and I'm sorry in advance about the lengthy tags!!!!! Taylor and Fall Out Boy are not subjects I'm capable of being concise about!!!!!

#also I just love that Patrick got to do the ohohohoh thing. he always nails it. that man's vocals will never cease to impress me #on the fan reaction thing I haven't seen any new negative takes on Taylor from FOB fans but I've seen some pretty rude stuff about Patrick #needless to say I blocked those people #honestly I feel like I've seen harsher reactions about Taylor from Paramore/Hayley fans which is a whole other thing #I really love the song with all of my heart. it won't leave my head. it's truly everything I wanted it to be. #I can let you know if I see more FOB fan opinions but like I said I'm pretty much avoiding them beyond Swemos #oh also with the pop thing I think some FOB fans want to forget that FOB is a POP punk band and Patrick is a pop music fan #most of the outrage I saw from FOB fans was about the whole band being named when only Patrick was involved #my take on that is it's a lot of exposure for FOB and I think Patrick would rather give them all that exposure rather than himself #especially given inital reactions to his own solo music #the rest of the band has been super supportive of the song though so I think some people are just trying to find a reason to be mad #sorry these tags are so long LOL #I thought I was done talking in the post but I was VERY wrong #idk this might be where you're fine ending the conversation but if you want my pettier thoughts about the fandoms text me lol #long long long story short! I love the song! I'm mostly avoiding fan reactions but I've seen some interesting (bad) takes on both ends #asks #fiona
