Honestly, freedom felt like summer then, on the coast has gotta be of the most quintessential Taylor lines ever, I’m telling you. It’s a lesser used motif in Taylor’s songs but I’m so fascinated by her use of “the coast” and “the beach” as and how it has only really surfaced (lol) in her mid to late periods (so far). Both in the safe haven it represents to her on its own but also how it’s often a foil to “the ocean”, and how a commonly used metaphor really works beautifully in her hands and fleshes out her worldview. 
That line really cements this to me where she starts with a broad and abstract simile of “summer” but then zeroes in on what she meant by that by adding specifically “the coast.” Just flat out saying beaches make her feel free, which yes it’s an obvious but great choice to represent freedom. Beaches are seemingly endless when you’re on them, most of the time removed from the markers of modern society, and empty save sand and sky, unencumbered by even nature. And you can see that through line in a lot of her previous work more subtly as well. “Drinking on the beach with you all over me” on an album and song famously depicting her absconding with her lover to places where they’re safe from wandering eyes and free from having to perform what ever fronts they feel they have to put up. Snow on the Beach is an entire song that depicts the beach as this dreamy place of vulnerability, even if the song isn’t specifically set on a literal beach. It’s frequently invoked in the chorus, painting a vast sandy landscape blanketed in snow, as tranquil as the songs production and how peaceful she felt falling for someone at that time. In Gold Rush she does again set the scene on the coast, where “the coastal town we wandered round had never seen a love as pure as this” provides a quiet safe haven to once again feel free to love and express love. Depicting even towns along the coast as less traveled and free of pressure or expectations; places to aimlessly wander, endlessly if you wish. Even in TLGAD she uses it to portray freedom for characters outside of herself, with “The salt box house on the coast took her mind off St. Louis.” The beach provides a freedom and reprieve for Rebekah from the assumed suffocation of a city and all the social expectations that come with it. The beach is so clearly a source of unencumbered happiness for her because it's a place of physical remove, but it’s even better exemplified by how it specifically acts as a foil to the ocean in her work. 
She’s always depicting the ocean as a metaphorical place of helpless tumult and dark unknowns. How she is “out on waves being tossed” in evermore with the ocean as a place without mercy or “if your cascade ocean wave blues come” where it’s an unstoppable force of sadness and unrest. In both of those, people are also physically taken over by the will of the ocean, a depiction of life’s painful inevitabilities that she recognizes as such but feels helpless against. Even how she visually depicts her gripping to her piano in the Cardigan video as the ocean tosses her around with no land in sight. Sometimes she herself is the ocean, with “I’m like the water when your ship rolled in that night. Rough on the surface…” where she is as untamable and damaging as the ocean. She uses the ocean to recognize danger and uncertainty in others, like with “ocean blue eyes looking in mine. I feel like I might sink and drown and die” which is hyperbolic yes, but still. The ocean she sees in their eyes is not beautiful but all consuming and potentially emotionally fatal for her in how it will consume her. Or to recognize the fearlessness in someone like how her boy in Midnight Rain was “jumping off things in the ocean” which is a terrifying place for her, but here he comes off a steady and solid in his ability to jump into it for fun and it doesn’t take him. The ocean is always bigger than her, standing in for the power of letting go with “the battleships will sink beneath the waves” and also standing in for the great unknown of committing yourself to someone with “we were stupid to jump in the ocean separating us.” 
But most exciting to me is when these two metaphorical ideas of ocean and beach meet. “High tide came and brought you in” is a great one because here, she is safe on the shore, no longer putting herself at risk. But then, this great beast of the unknown brings her something; presumably something she wanted and potentially something good. But then “currents swept you out again” as the blue beast took it back. Unable to endure the thrashing ocean herself, she perches on the beach instead and waits. The beach in contrast to the active and churning ocean is a still place, a passive place. Freedom isn’t just an ability to hide from the world or a reprieve from the expectations of the world, but it can also be a reprieve from the expectations you put on yourself. Allowing yourself to rest and let come what may. The beach is also that for her, where she’s free from her own crushing thoughts and worries. Even when she herself is the ocean, thrashing about in her own mind, with “my waves meet your shore” she seeks the quiet and the serenity of the beach to soothe her and calm her. The soft expanse of sand to break her waves on and sink her foamy tide waters into. Control is one of the main things she seems to seek in all aspects of her life, in the way of control of her own story, her own personal space, her own agency, and the people around her in ensuring they won’t abandon her. In many ways, the ocean is outside herself in her use of it, but it’s always an extension of her, be it her fears of that loss of control or just fear of any unknown in life. It’s always a stand in for those parts of her in that way, her dark shadow swelling and swallowing everything whole if she lets it. The beach as her foil that becomes freedom from the grips and weight of the ocean, but also that first gasp of air knowing you are on land again, can find your footing again, solid ground. You can say she’s searching for that beach, that tranquil coast within herself to evade the trappings of the bottomless ocean within herself, but you could also say that in some cases, she is the ocean. Tired of her own restlessness and endless tumult, she’s forever searching for people in her life to be her shore, so she can finally rest on their warm sand, even for just a moment. I feel like that’s something everyone can relate to and is why it’s one of my favorite motifs in her work.

Fëanorians as Taylor Swift Albums
Speak Now: Taylor’s Version is out, so I apologize for the person I’ve become. That being said, here are the Fëanorians as Taylor Swift albums!
Fëanor: Reputation. “Look What You Made Me Do” is practically the Oath of Fëanor, guys. This album combines electrifying love with giving the middle finger to society trying to intrude on that love, which feels very Fëanor to me. (Plus, he would absolutely fight other versions of himself in order to prove himself as the supreme Fëanor.)
Nerdanel: Red. I have to give Nerdanel the album about heartbreak – and the catharsis that comes with writing a ten-minute song about it. The highs and lows of Nerdanel’s life? She remembers them all too well. Red also contains some of Taylor’s most well-regarded music, and I think Nerdanel would appreciate that, as an artist herself.
Maedhros: Midnights. Let’s face it, Maedhros has had more than 13 sleepless nights. And this album has “Anti-Hero” and “You’re On Your Own, Kid,” which are hardcore Maedhros songs. But I’d like to think Mae finds joy in life, and that’s what Midnights is about – being almost surprised that in the end, you’ve stumbled upon happiness.
Maglor: Folklore. This one has to go to Maglor for the intricate songwriting, ocean vibes, and the line I can go anywhere I want/ Anywhere I want, just not home. Plus, this was a triumphant Grammy win for Taylor – and Maglor deserves a Grammy, too. :’)
Celegorm: 1989! Celegorm needs an album to rival his energy, so why not one filled with some of Taylor’s biggest hits? “Bad Blood” and “Out of the Woods” were made for Celegorm: the son of Fëanor, the hunter, the lover of life, and everything in between. Tyelko’s got a blank space, baby, and he’ll write your name.
Caranthir: Speak Now. Here are some of Taylor’s fiercest songs, perfect for the Fëanorian who can get a little angry sometimes. Let Caranthir listen to pop rock! Also, the fairy tale themes of this album suit him; I’d like to think that he dreams of a happy ending with Haleth. Maybe he even gets it. Long live the walls we crashed through, y’all.
Curufin: Evermore goes to Curufin, who’s thoughtful and intense all at once. He’s a clever craftsman, and here is a cohesive album where every song is a little melancholy, feral, and maybe even joyful. I can see Curufin listening to “Evermore,” hoping for the moment when his own pain will end.
Amrod: Fearless! Whether or not you agree with the crispy Amrod theory, there’s no denying that Amrod (and his twin) have a good amount of fearlessness. There are a lot of songs in this album about youth, such as “Fifteen,” which suit a young Fëanorian trying to navigate Middle Earth. It’s even more stressful than high school.
Amras: Taylor Swift. What else could I give the youngest brother? Sometimes Amras might feel overshadowed by his siblings, but there’s no denying it: he’s a powerhouse, too. So here’s the album that contains Taylor Swift’s first hits, like “Tim McGraw” and “Teardrops on My Guitar.” Also, I think Amras would appreciate a good country ballad.
Celebrimbor: Lover. Celebrimbor is a cheerful person who truly loves his life in Ost-in-Edhil. He’s also an expert smith, so Taylor’s first self-owned album, the product of a lot of hard work, is one that I think Celebrimbor would appreciate. And we’ve got to give him the happy ending of “Daylight.” I just think that you are what you love.

because i'm grumpy today i'm gonna cause problems on the dash
what annoys the shit out of me with the constant "drop reputation!" "rep is coming!!" "clown clown clown for reputation surprise drop" is that it's taking attention away from literally everything else.
we're about to get extra professionally filmed surprise songs and no one cares. "i hope she announces rep IN THE MOVIE with a graphic or something" shut up
we're about to get a whole brand new album and still the focus is on yelling for reputation
the "debutation" theories and shit as though debut doesn't deserve her own spotlight for one fucking moment
the sheer fact that SO MANY of the people obsessively calling for reputation only view it through the girl-bossified lwymmd lense and don't see the vulnerability underneath and understand that taylor really thought this was it for her
does reputation deserve love? obviously. that's not ever what i'm arguing against. i'm just still still still not over the crowd chanting for a reputation surprise drop during surprise songs after we'd only just been given 1989
am i taking it way too seriously. yes, mist likely. am i going to yell about it anyway? yea.
they act like they're entitled to it right now when they want it immediately instead of seeing the release schedule laid out and being a little patient and appreciative of the insane amount of new art we already have over the last 4 years.
folklore, evermore, fearless tv, red tv, tour, speak now tv, 1989 tv, a tour movie, and ttpd but still there's a constant (and i do meant constant) demand for reputation.
it's about the content flow and not about the art or music or even taylor. it's the content and it makes me want to throw my phone in the ocean

She is the only one releasing more than one album from 2020-2023. So when her fans say that other artists to Deluxe versions or remixes or whatever too. Yes they do. But they aren't as bad as she is. It's no wonder she was the best selling artist in 2023. Morgan Wallen did 7.2M with one album in 2023. From 2018-2023 he released 4 albums. Despite that she is on tour doing huge promo for her albums.
Thanks for this research. Very interesting.

i dunno… people making folklore evermore and midnights as a break up album are not wrong but they aren’t right either. yes she was straight forward about her sadness! in those albums as compared to the rest of the discography but the thing is she always had an undertone of sadness in all of her songs especially in lover which is THE romantic album. for instance the archer- the theme of lover did show her anxieties but flipped the script by ending with you could stay. false god showed the cracks and fame being fickle when it comes to romance and also paper rings- arguably the happiest song has got a tint of sadness, it does glimpses on past relations and being blue together (which i think became too much for both of them because one couldn’t give peace and the other had cascade ocean wave blues come so who has got time to read into melancholia?) the point i am trying to make is that taylor as an artist has been always sad (which valid) irrespective of her romantic relationships. folklore, evermore and midnights did have a sense of happiness and nostalgia (especially in marjorie)- with ofc regret, confusion and what ifs attached to them. bejeweled becomes one of the biggest example! where she is accepting everything laid at her but still being gloomy about it. but joy and sadness can coexist with each other- and it would be a disservice to taylor’s work to say that she isn’t an artist who can be multifaceted with her emotions and how she expresses them in an entire album.

this place will become your tomb is a deceptively seductive album which hides its grief in the core of its tracks. take a track like “descending,” for example. sonically, it is akin to tracks like the weeknd’s “the hills” with a descending baseline and cool trap beat. seductive, sexy, and evokes the smoky veneer of a cool and collected man— detached, objective.
lyrically, it reveals a man desperate to understand and be understood, “i asked, and you answered, but you eat your words in frame. at last discovered, you can’t recall my name… i’ve been left no choice, don’t you see that?” the song vacillates wildly between the objective, smoky veneer of the man vessel is projecting, and the true, raw, and desperate person seeking fair and honest connection behind the mask (no pun intended).
even songs that are more overt in their sexual inclinations such as “like that,” with the piercing, languid bass line that acts as anchor to lead the listener further down sleep token’s seduction, is riddled with the desperation of a man asking his affective object what, if anything, will get them to stay. what, if anything that he does, do you like? do you like how he “fall[s] into your eyes like a grave?” how he’s so desperate for your attention that the mere mention of your name is enough to “bury him to the sound of [it]?” do you like that? his pleading desperation for your presence? will that convince you to love him?
it’s clear that, at the core of this album, is a man still grappling with both his fear of rejection and the bliss of loving something or someone truthfully. i mentioned earlier that “descending” vacillates wildly between the cool veneer and the raw emotional core of vessel’s relationship to his affective object, but that is also the case for the whole album.
i don’t think it’s mere coincidence that after every “sexy” track on the album, it is immediately followed by a song that is painfully honest about the need to connect. for example, “descending” is followed by “telomeres”— the closest to a pure love song out of sleep token’s discography. “like that” is followed by “the love you want”— a gut-wrenching reminder to his affective object that, no matter what, he will still hold onto the love they seek from everyone else but him. for evermore.
it is even bookended by two of the most emotional songs from sleep token’s discography, “atlantic” and “missing limbs,” tracks that are both about the overwhelming weight of grief and loss, with the former likening it to drowning in ocean water, and the latter likening it to a literal loss of a part of one’s own body.
mimicking a conversation with himself, vessel goes back and forth between tracks in an attempt to mask the desperate heartache he feels with a thin veneer of seduction. however, like sleep token has always said, the veneer cannot last forever and, eventually, it recedes back to reveal the painful, honest truth. that, at the core of this album’s seductiveness, no matter how well it slips on the mask of detached sexiness— donning it like a lover’s arm draped over a shoulder, stands a man who is, like so many of us, desperate for love and intimacy.

Playlist
Songs I associate with Haikyuu characters:
Taylor Swift Ver.
Tumblr media
Kageyama Tobio - Gorgeous (Reputation Album)
OCEAN BLUE EYES-
ITS ALREADY INDICATED IN THERE HONEY
But for real the song screams tsundere and Kags is EXACTLY that
The chorus with the "You're so gorgeous" and "Cause look at your face" fits well too
LIKE DONT LIE TO ME, KAGEYAMA IS TOO PRETTY LIKE WHA-
Now does he listen to this song? Probably not
I don't see Kageyama liking music too much
He may like some songs but he doesn't religiously listen to them
Oikawa Tooru - All of The Girls You've Loved Before (Lover Album)
We all know Oikawa is a bit of a playboy
Therefore, no matter what you say I would always believe that he has A LONG LIST OF EX LOVERS Blank Space Style
Now why didn't I choose Blank Space?
Well I dont really see him as someone toxic
Well yeah, he is annoying in the show and all but I do believe that he is a gentleman especially to girls.
HE HAS A SISTER WHAT DID YOU EXPECT?!
(I always notice that men with sister/s especially if they are really close, are gentlemen)
And seeing how he's close with his nephew means he is close with his sister.
AND HE IS A HUGE MAMA'S BOY, IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ME PLEASE RESPECTFULLY SHUT UP
Now would he listen to this?
YES, YES HE WOULD
Probably because he's heard someone he knows (ahem ahem Makki ahem ahem) listening to this and immediately liked it
Its not his favourite, but definitely its on his playlist
Sugawara Koushi - Cruel Summer (Lover Album)
okay okay okAY OKAY HEAR ME OUT-
It doesnt symbolise Suga that much
Well except for the bridge part, because it kind of screams him
But speAKING OF THE BRIDGE
I KID YOU NOT HE SCREAMS THAT SHIT ON THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS
Imagine you're his neighbour and at 2 in the morning he starts screaming "HE LOOKS UP GRINNING LIKE A DEVIL-"
Tell me he wont do it, because he would
But like I said earlier, I do believe the bridge fits him
"I'm drunk in the back of the car and I cried like a baby coming home from the bar. Said I'm fine but it wasnt true. I dont want to keep secrets just to keep you and I snuck in through the garden gates every night that summer just to seal my fate. I scream for whatever it's worth, "I love you" aint that the worst thing you've ever heard. He looks up grinning like a devil"
I had to type all that-
BUT THIS LINE JUST SCREAMMMMS SUGAWARA KOUSHI TO ME
Akaashi Keiji - Willow (Evermore Album)
OKAY I'M EXCITED FOR THIS
I was about to choose Enchanted but Willow feels more up his alley
I could just probably put up the whole Evermore and Folklore album for this man and it would fit
And btw those two are probably what he considers one of the best albums ever
Timeskip spoilers!
We all know he majored in literature and so he is probably into deep metaphors and similes and Willow has that.
He also seems like the type to like old and magical themes which is WILLOW wow who knew
But really, this would be on his playlist along with Cardigan, some old 80s music and Radwimps
NOW THE SONG JUST FITS HIM SOOOO MUCH
The instrumental of the song is so simple yet very dimensional
AND THE THAT'S MY MAN LINE, LIKE YESSS HE IS THAT MAN
Akaashi Keji is definitely that price we'd cheat to win, don't lie
Kuroo Tetsurou - Getaway Car (Reputation Album)
THIS SCREAAAAMSSS KUROO TETSUROU
From the music to the lyrics dAMN IT-
He is the best of times and the worst of crimes ISTG-
(But I'd defo not be the first to leave if I was with THE Kuroo Tetsurou)
BUT ANOTHER ONE WHERE HE SHOUTS THE LYRICS DEADASS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FUCKING NIGHT
Bet when he comes early for practice, you can hear him screeching "X MARKS THE SPOT WHERE WE FELL APART" inside the gym
Scared the crap out of Lev once tbh
It's definitely one of his most replayed songs in his playlist
He isnt much of a fan of Taylor, but he just vibes with the song
The type of vibe where he'll dance like a worm when the chorus hits
But Getaway Car just screams Kuroo to me idk why
Atsumu Miya - Back to December (Speak Now Album)
wait wait waIT WAIT-
I know you might be asking WHY THIS SONG?
To which my answer is....
I DONT KNOW
He just feels like a person who would listen to sad/heartbreak songs
He's sappy like that
Probably listens to this, Heartbreak Anniversary, Secret Love Song etc etc
When he listens to this, he would start pulling up with the sad face like he's in a FOOKING MUSIC VIDEO
DONT TELL ME HE DOESNT LISTEN TO THIS AS HE WALKS SLOW WITH A FROWN LIKE HE'S STARRING IN AN MV
But when he's at home he definitely sings this peacefully until the bridge part.
"Back to December all the time........I MISS YOUR TANNED SKIN! YOUR SWEET SMILE!! SO GOOD TO ME SO RIGHTT!"
Lmfao it always wakes Osamu up from his naps so hey its all good for him only
Miya Osamu - Lover (Lover Album)
It is basically cannon that the twins are absolute opposites of each other.
And so, I am sure their music preference are also different.
While Atsumu likes those heartbreaking, Whitney Houston-like lyrics with high energy backgrounds, Osamu likes those romantic, suave songs with acoustic guitars and small drums on the instrumentals.
So Lover was my number one pick.
This MAN IS A ROMANTIC IN MY HEADCANNON, DO NOT CHANGE MY MIND
Can you jussttttt imagine him cooking whilst swaying his hips oN THIS SONG AHBSHSVSHWVWHWV FANGIRLING HARD RN FAM
But yeah, I feel like the whole Lover album is up his alley.
But unlike Atsumu, his singing is pretty chill, no unnecessary screeching and screaming.
Tsukishima Kei - Mastermind (Midnights Album)
So we all agree that this song is Tsukishima's, right?
HAVE YOU SEEN THAT ICONIC MOMENT FROM SEASON 3? GODDAMN HE PLANNED THAT SHIT FROM THE BEGINNING I CANNAT-
Back to the regular programming-
What I am saying is that he felt like a mastermind in that episode😉
JUST FROM THE LINES: "What if I told you none of it was accidental?" or "I laid the groundwork and then, just like clockwork the dominoes cascaded in a line."
Sums up his whole character probably
HE LISTENS TO THIS AGREE TO DISAGREE
I feel like the whole aesthetic of Midnights fit him
HE IS LITERALLY THE ANTI-HERO OF HAIKYUU DO NOT TALK TO ME-
Mastermind is not his favourite but he doesn't hate or dislike it, its in the middle category for him.
Him listening to Vigilante Shit on those white Apple headphones
Tendo Satori - Shake It Off (1989 Album)
TENDO IS A SWIFTIE, HE IS OKAY!
Shake it off is a fun ass song and there is no way he doesnt love this bop
HE DANCES TO THIS RELGIOUSLY OKAY
The lyrics also moves his heart
We all know that his childhood was pretty rough due to bullies (And maybe even when he was in high school he still had them)
So with the lyrics' positivity, it makes his heart lighter.
HE HUMS THIS WHILE HE WRAPS HIS FINGERS WITH TAPE BEFORE PRACTICING HIS BLOCKS
Let me bet you that Ushijima asked him once what the song was because he sings it EVERYDAY, and Ushijima already memorised the harmony AHAHAHAH
He becomes EXCITED and started babbling about Taylor and how he should consider being a Swiftie while Ushijima listens
He may or may not have converted Ushijima into one
HAIL LORD TENDO, THE BEST ADVERTISER TO TAYLOR AFTER USHIJIMA TO SHIRATORIZAWA
Tumblr media
Just noticed almost all of these were the setters- Definitely not intentional😶
Part two?
