#they’re both great closers #i prefer the manuscript as a song #and also as a closer for this whole album #but i love clara bow as the bridge between part 1 and 2 #it’s this cautiously hopeful song #that’s perfect before some cautious hopefulness of the next 15 song

The story I'm getting so far: Joe's alienation of affection broke her. Matty love bombed her and promised to give her everything Joe wouldn't and she left him for Matty and invested everything in that. But he proved to be a fraud and the 1-2 punch of them failing her fucked her up profoundly. Thus, Spring-Summer 2023.

[mypastfrozenbehindglass]

The analogy of Matty as a “forget him” pill in the Fortnight video and “I took the miracle move on drug, the effects were temporary” is the heart of it I feel. If you had to have an extremely painful surgery and could choose to go medicated or not, what would you pick? She had to end things with Joe but she couldn’t bring herself to do it for years because she knew the pain of actually losing him would be too much to bear, and along comes this person peddling that he can take away all the pain. He sells her a story about how he is the great love of her life, that he’s never forgotten her all this time, that it was supposed to be them all along. He can give her everything she can’t bear to let go of. And who wouldn’t want to believe that, when the alternative is … the love that you thought was forever just ends and there’s nothing and no one? So she does it, she takes the pill, she has the surgery, only to find he was selling not just snake oil but poison that leaves her far worse off than she was in the beginning. She feels all the pain of the surgery and the side effects of the drug in one fell swoop.

we have exhausted the jack hate conversations. they are best friends and they make great music together. if you’re bored of it, there are endless other musicians you can listen to instead of taylor. you can stick to her other songs no problem. no one is holding the gun to you head. stop blaming jack when taylor is making the music she wants to make. if she didn’t want this style as her sound she wouldn’t work with him. and beyond that taylor takes an active involvement in the creative process so you’re kidding yourself if you think she doesn’t have a distinct vision for most of these songs and they would sound completely different and unrecognizable under a different producer

haters cherry-picking two lyrics out of context to try to convince themselves taylor swift is not a phenomenal songwriter. like good luck with that but also get a life?

“at last she knew what the agony had been for” has me sooo in my feels like she went through SO much pain but it helped her writing and her art and her wanting to direct and not saying she should have to go through that but it’s so beautiful that she can turn these terrible moments into her music and her videos and everything

not to give a man credit but shout out to killatrav for pursuing his celeb crush who turned out to be an unhinged mess at the time and sticking around anyway to be her hype man

[mypastfrozenbehindglass]

Obviously we have to wait for the video to know the story, but for anyone who’s studied any kind of social history/psychology/sociology/etc. And knows a little about the diagnosis of hysteria, Victorian mores, the use of lobotomies/shock therapy/etc to treat women who failed to live up to patriarchal ideals and the minimizing of women’s physical and mental health issues historically in the medical and psychiatric fields plus the old Hollywood of it all… the imagery is Telling The Story. I am fucking SEATED.
