#i put it’s complicated #because they absolutely wouldn’t have wanted me to listen to it #but they probably would’ve assumed it’s taylor so it’s fine

familiarity breeds contempt ➡️ excellent fun til you get to know her

the pipeline from “the jokes weren’t funny i took the money” to “is it a wonder i broke? let’s hear one more joke” kills me every single time

you know I think sometimes maybe Taylor thinks we love her because she’s like a “role model” and good advice giver or something, like if you listen to dear reader, but what I think she maybe does not always remember or know is that we love her not because we think she’s perfect or a guiding light, but because she’s just like us…human!!! imperfect, contradictory, passionate, messy, hopeful, reflective, depressed, daydreamy, bitter, unsure … and the only difference between her and us is that she puts all things all we go through into music. Music that we can listen to and adopt and relate to and not feel so weird and lonely about ourselves

favourite 2024 albums → THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT: THE ANTHOLOGY by Taylor Swift

"An anthology of new works that reflect events, opinions and sentiments from a fleeting and fatalistic moment in time - one that was both sensational and sorrowful in equal measure. This period of the author’s life is now over, the chapter closed and boarded up. There is nothing to avenge, no scores to settle once wounds have healed. And upon further reflection, a good number of them turned out to be self-inflicted. This writer is of the firm belief that our tears become holy in the form of ink on a page. Once we have spoken our saddest story, we can be free of it."

The devastating difference between how much time it takes to write something vs how fast people read it lol

The Tortured Poets Department is a great reminder that women don't owe the world pretty. Taylor Swift doesn't owe anyone an easily digestible pretty pop album wrapped in a bow with short songs you can make TikToks to. She's allowed to present something raw, uncomfortable, and vulnerable to the world.

for me, it keeps coming back the now deleted scene in anti-hero where taylor first openly used art about something that directly impacted her mental health. and i get why it would be triggering and uncomfortable to see a thin woman portray herself as "fat" on a scale. i understand the "problematic" edge to it. and yet... i still hate y'all for thinkpiecing her into deleting the scene. it was art about something that directly impacted HER mental health and folks felt entitled to tell her how she could make art about something that impacts HER. that HER MENTAL HEALTH was distressing them, could she pretty please censor it so it would stop triggering them.

like fuck y'all. i hope she never feels the need to censor herself again to cater to you fuck ass bitches. some of you DO need to be told you're being overbearing and entitled, sorry! you don't get to censor art just because you don't like who's making it or feel the person who made it isn't allowed to use art the way they used it.

I keep coming back to how much Taylor did not need to release this record and how much courage it shows that she did. These lyrics touch on it:

The scandal was contained

The bullet had just grazed

At all costs keep your good name

Because things ended with MH and people generally stopped talking about it and she kept just winning. The general public saw her as at the top of her game and America’s Sweetheart dating the football star. The Brads, Dads, and Chads had something to say but she actually seemed to have more defenders than ever before. Like this is the most recent image the general public has of her

And she chose to put out this one.

She wasn’t on trial anymore, the scandal was contained, so she didn’t need to put in a plea, but she does actually want people to know and understand her

I want to snarl and show you just how disturbed this has made me

She’s trusting us with her feelings when she absolutely didn’t have to and we should appreciate it for the gift it is

the black dog is such classic taylor songwriting - starting with a small detail/memory (seeing her ex visit a bar) and then it spirals into a wider recollection of the relationship. the flip from 'magic fabric of our dreaming' to 'tragic fabric of our dreaming' because those dreams are now ruined. the disconnect between being so far apart that she's stalking his location, to once showering together while she was shaking. the switch in the last chorus to him being a black dog, leaving with his tail between his legs. i am simply OBSESSED

I wish people understood that it doesn’t matter how much time passes: what kim/kanye did to taylor will never not hurt her. She felt like her life was torn to shreds. Imagine being 26 years old (literally my age now), coming down off the most successful year of your career, and now the whole entire world is against you. Imagine seeing your name trending because people are saying you’re over, you’re a liar, you’re dead. Imagine thinking this career that you’re worked tirelessly for is over in the blink of an eye. Imagine the people who claim to love and support you suddenly deciding they don’t anymore- in fact- they are going to completely turn against you. You don’t come back from that without deep scars. It’s not possible to move on and never have something tug on the pain. It’s just not. That’s a bag of emotions…one that, I think, you don’t always know which you’re going to pull out on any given day.
