why am i so shocked that the things i love bring me joy. what do you mean the new taylor swift album has filled my life with renewed meaning and whimsy and excitement

#it's also because it's spring #but oh my god :))))))) #vi is typing...

i do wonder if one of the reasons taylor reverts to high school metaphor so often (besides all the obvious ones...youth, americana, simplified social spheres) is because that was the last time she experienced life pre-fame

#like it's her last personal frame of reference to 'real world' experiences #vi is typing...

no but not to harp on this but i think it is sooooo sexy when celebs talk about not drinking like yessssssssssss you come out of an industry that stereotypically glorifies drug and alcohol abuse and deinfluence ppl (or whatever the kids are calling it these days)

one of my favorite lines in sweet nothing is “you’re in the kitchen humming” because it continues the motif throughout her entire discography about kitchens being such a sacred and pivotal space in her life and her relationships: ”barefoot in the kitchen sacred new beginnings” / “i’m here on the kitchen floor” / “dancing in the kitchen in the refrigerator light” and the whole kitchen fight scene in the atw short film. and then additionally it’s so loaded because food/cooking in general have brought her both happiness and self-care (which she just talked about in the ina garten tribute) as well as a lot of pain and self-destruction obviously. and then to have this place filled with so much complex pain and memories being a symbol of peaceful, steady love is so wonderful <3

at the core of it all i think this might be an album about being a weird little girl...

thinking about "we were something, don't you think so?" as it's literal meaning...asking the other person to confirm that something did happen between you, because you're left to sit with this love of a lifetime and they won't even acknowledge it happened...

#and ofc it's masked in that brilliant casual tone that makes the 1 so good #reminds me of that thing she said about being gaslit into believing nothing happened at all #you're left with the wounds and can't even get the acknowledgement that anything Happened #'just between us did the love affair maim you too?' #literally 'the greatest loves of all time are over now' #the 1 #vi is typing...

i wish i could take the time to parse through my taylor swift is/isn't a gay icon thoughts on here but i fear people on this website don't know how to behave

#like she isn't a gay icon. but she is a lesbian icon? but like in different ways than gay icons have historically been gay icons #basically what i'm trying to say is that her status as a lesbian icon has literally nothing to do with her interactions with the lesbian #community. like i don't feel particularly revered or nurtured by her in the way someone like gaga has taken the time to #actually sit with and deliberately cater to gay culture for example #like it's different. #and almost entirely fandom-led #whether taylor is actually queer is also irrelevant to this #am i making any sense? #like okay i think you could argue she did a little bit of it in 2019 but we all know how that felt/came across #she's better at being a gay icon when she's explicitly not including the queer community in her work or acknowledging them in any way #because it's literally not of her own volition #and i'm honestly not convinced it's an aspect of her art or fanbase she considers #sometimes it feels like it actively makes her uncomfortable #and yet she really has become entrenched in modern day lesbian pop culture iconography in these last few years #anyway this isn't me Saying Anything. i'm just thinking about it #vi is typing...

"dust off your highest hopes" is one of the sweetest lyrics everrrr

the thing about red is that it just isn’t an album you can sum up into short snappy marketing words. she’s all over the place. she’s running wild, wild. she’s happy free confused and lonely. she’s up in your room and our slates are clean. she’s walking fast through the traffic lights. she knew you were trouble when you walked in. it’s taking everything in her not to call you but you are never ever getting back together. she’s losing you. she wants to be her old self again but she’s still trying to find it. she’s beginning again. she’s dubstep and country and singer-songwriter and bubblegum pop and rock influences and she’s coming of age and girl and woman and love and heartbreak and every single time she’s distilled into singles or tour compilations or setlists she’s incomplete because she has to be everything to work.
