#taylor's unpopular opinions

[adultswiftie]

Taylor Swift pulls her songwriting primarily from her own life, but not exclusively from it. She has written fictional songs, fully separate from herself, her entire career. Let's pull a quick, off-the-top-of-my-head sample:

Mary's Song

You Belong With Me - inspired by a scenario she dreamed up after seeing one of her band members "on the phone with [his] girlfriend, she's upset"

Speak Now

Starlight

Stay, Stay, Stay

And that's not counting ones where she spun a fictional tale out of her own immediate experience, like Love Story (her parents didn't want her to be with a guy, but the story she tells never happened), The Lucky One (the Joni Mitchell -to-Taylor Swift pipeline), Mine (an imagined future based off an early interaction), etc.

So why does the fandom as a whole seem to completely reject her assertion that large swaths of folklore and evermore are fully fictional stories and characters that she made up? That's what writers do. Certainly not every song is made up. Certainly with several of them we can look back with hindsight and take a guess as to why she was drawn to particular characters and tropes and stories at that point in her life. But the willingness to suggest the she is just blatantly lying about her songwriting process, the thing she holds most sacred, just baffles me.

listen i’m so conflicted on taylor as a human right now like i get the tortured poets is about her being her own person, going through a crisis, and making her own mistakes, but i can’t excuse her saying “without all the racists” when she had a boyfriend who was/is openly racist. also the line “all this bitching and moaning” pissed me off still a great song though i totally understand not wanting millions of strangers to prey on your personal life but when you date a man like m*tty healy that is a terrible human with no morals we shouldn’t stand by and be like “oh he’s just a rebound it doesn’t really matter” when the hipocrasy is visible, you date a man who stands against everything you’ve done in your fandom like religion and accepting everyone for who they are no matter sexuality, gender, or race, then she goes off and dates him and expects us not point it out, especially when he’s said terrible things about your friends? and then her only then saying that he was a bad man because he broke her heart. look girl i know you were going through something but i can’t defend you anymore i love your music but i just can’t.

Okay.

So this might be an unpopular opinion (or maybe not), but as a bi woman, I would be fucking PISSED if Buck and Eddie ended up kissing or hooking up during the bachelor party.

#unrelated to my last post #also this is gonna be an unpopular opinion #but i’ve honestly made my peace with how taylor approaches her public politics #(i’ve said this before too) #i may sound like a cupcake right now #but i don’t have the energy to bang my head against a wall when i know no matter what i do the wall won’t break #and that’s just the harsh truth #i have trust that she is a good person and her actions show that and it is enough for me #she’s not interested in being a political figure or representative and just wants to encourage people to vote #and will speak up during elections or during pride month etc #and ofc you can make the argument that she’s so influential so she should be and i agree but also! it’s her choice! #she is political in her private her life and she doesn’t owe her politics publicly #people should focus more on actual politicians and presidents and world leaders whose actual job it is #arshia talks

Taylor Swift 🤝 Beyoncé: putting out 2024 albums that have some really clever and lovely individual songs, but are also very mid albums that ultimately needed another editing pass and more cohesive production

#this is about to be the most unpopular opinion of the year I know #taylor swift #beyonce

[babacontainsmultitudes]

Not *necessarily* the funniest (though it could be that) but your favorite!

tumblr bitches try to be normal about taylor swift challenge (IMPOSSIBLE!!!!)

“She’s not a tortured poet, she’s a billionaire!🤓☝️”

i did not expect people on TUMBLR of all places to make shitty, insensitive, misinformed comments about mental health and the ways it can devastate ANYONES life.

Not liking her music is one thing but y’all will find ANY EXCUSE to justify your biases concerning talented women in the music industry. same mfs who preach about feminism and how taylor swift is somehow its antithesis will endorse hole as a great feminist band in the same breath.

you aren’t bettering the lives of minorities by denouncing taylor swift’s music. you’re not partaking in a revolution. you just come across extremely bitter.

you guys aren’t activists. revelling in your own hypocrisy isn’t cute.

#very different from my regular posts #but i need y’all tumblr mfs to realize that hating on taylor swift in order to put up a pretense of hyperindividualism is odd #you guys have deluded yourselves into thinking that disliking her is an unpopular opinion that somehow makes you a free thinker #like bfr #i can count the swifties in my school on maybe 2 hands #and thats it #the most famous woman in the world today has just as many haters as she does fans #and its time u realized that #anyways let her live #shes being as honest as she can on this album and o think thats lovely #its very evident that it was an album she made more for herself which i really respect tbh #ALSO IDC IF U DONT LIKE HER MUSIC #its not for everyone obv #but your attitude about it matters #just goes to show that nobody can handle a woman excelling above everyone else #its just so hypocritical #idk #taylor swift #the tortured poets department #ts ttpd #ts11

Reverse Unpopular Opinion on Wolfspider, please?

Oh good one good one!!

Rachel is the best parahumans character, imo. As an autistic person, her character and her relationship with Taylor are so important to me. The ways that they love each other are so beautiful. And this is why, despite not personally shipping them, they’re still my top Worm ship.

The way that Taylor has to completely rework the way she thinks about and communicates with Bitch?? It would be so easy to just go “whatever she’s just weird” but she breaks down the way Rachel works. Despite their relationship starting out on rocky footing, she dedicates herself to meeting Rachel where she is instead of expecting her to communicate in a way that doesn’t come naturally to her. Hearing Taylor process these differences in body language and communication is so good, and seeing her put those concepts into action in interactions with Rachel are just so sweet. Even when they’re fighting, Taylor doesn’t give up on her. And that’s just so beautiful.

Rachel is so traumatized, so rough, so used to understanding and communicating differently than everyone around her. She’s not alone, she’s not unloved, but her existence is still pretty lonely. Her differences haven’t made it impossible for her to have a team who care for her. But it feels like the difference between “she’s weird and that’s ok” and actually trying to understand her weirdness. She’s guarded, and because of that Taylor‘s repeated efforts at trying to befriend her are confusing and frustrating. But she doesn’t give up on Taylor either. She continues to give Taylor chances to try again. The trust between them, even before they are close, just in allowing each other to keep trying.

The progression of their relationship Is lovely. From moments like Taylor scooping dog poop for Rachel, to the big moments like Rachel taking Taylor‘s hand in the van. They’re just wonderful. A lot of effort was put in to their relationship, and it shows. Their bond is a lot more significant than a lot of the canonical romantic relationships we see in Worm. They are close in a way even Taylor and Brian aren’t. Their relationship can be interpreted differently, but regardless of how you see it, they love each other so much. Rachel is so worried about being manipulated and being betrayed. And even when that happens, multiple times, she *still* doesn’t give up on Taylor. Her trust for Taylor is so big that she even trusts her to stab her in the back.

I love them and I love their love. And this is why I will always be a big fan of the most heart wrenchingly beautiful Worm ship.

#taylor swift #polls #my unpopular opinion is that im going with the witches during willow

[max-xie]

unpopular opinion, i like season 2 a little bit more then season 1... i feel like people hate it for no reason, like they say the story is inconsistent which isnt necessarily true, like yeah season 1 was a very straightforward plot line -saving their sons- but season 2 is more complex and less straightforward, its about saving the world that their dads and granddads messed up but along the way things change, like how the doodler became this emotional teen but they still are going on the original plot line which is saving their (and the other) relm(s). i just think that people dont like change and got very much emotional attached to darryl, henry, glenn, ron and all the other npcs that we know and love, and since they arent there all the time people start to dislike the new season, also idk if this is 100% true as im not a patreon (someone pls give me money 🙏) but i think i heard from somewhere that anthony doesnt like season 2 as much as season 1, and i simply think that its the same reason as i said before, but he and everyone else has the right to their own opinion, i personality love season 2 more bc i can relate to it more being a teenager, and the fact i like the character dynamics a bit more, although i do miss paedon and erin o'neil.

also i am in need of more content with the kiddads bc they are super cool and i need to know more
