Persephone

Tyla's "sands of time" look is absolutely stunning and likely to make Anakin Skywalker to go into a murderous rage so those dead kids are on you, girl.

‘CAUSE I’M A REAL TOUGH KID I CAN HANDLE MY SHIT THEY SAID BABE YOU GOTTA FAKE IT TIL YOU MAKE IT AND I DID LIGHTS CAMERA BITCH SMILE EVEN WHEN YOU WANNA DIE

thanK you aIMee might actually be the funniest, most sagittarius thing taylor swift has ever done. she’s like “i’m clinically insane over this dude and everyone hates him someone lock me up” and “this other dude is too sad, doesnt want to marry me, and stole my youth whatever”

but kim k? fuck you kim k. just in case you forgot.

The funniest thing you can add to any piece of media is a boy detective. Breaking Bad needed a 13 year old child who goes around looking for clues to the caper and whatnot.

“I’d rather burn my whole life down than listen to one more second of all this bitching and moaning. I’ll tell you something about my good name: it’s mine alone to disgrace. I don’t cater to all these vipers dressed in empath’s clothing. God save the most judgemental creeps who say they want the best for me, sanctimoniously performing soliloquies I’ll never see, thinking it can change the beat of my heart when he touches me”

TAYLOR ALISON SWIFT IS OUT FOR BLOOD ON THIS ONE

I really love the little detail of paw prints on the promotional posts for THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT because all of this stuff is coming from Taylor’s desk, so of course the cats would be stepping all over her desk and leaving their marks on her documents.

what's so clever about Clara Bow is that when she references her own name at the end, she's not talking about the present but the future, quoting the inevitable way people are going to one day talk about her, imagining it will only be in regards to the woma(e)n who surpass her. because there will be someone who surpasses her, eventually. that's the cycle of fame, isn't it? we're simultaneously captivated by the alluring trick of the past while looking for the next big thing. we compare current stars to the lights that shined before them, "you look like taylor swift." but we're also constantly waiting for someone new and greater to take the crown and captivate us anew, "you've got edge she never did." And half the song is about acknowledging that being revered is hell on earth for the people who are in it, because you're always trapped between what came before and what will come after. you're only safe insofar as you remain shiny. But the real beauty of the song is that it never succumbs to this dichotomy, but embraces it. It's Taylor acknowledging she wouldn't be who she is were it not for the women who came before her, who shared the same dreams, and recognizing her place in the chain of the women who will come after. The future's bright, dazzling.

I was gonna put this in the tags, but it ended up being too long. But like, this isn't even the first time Taylor has referenced knowing that one day someone else is going to captivate the world the way she has, "People love an igénue." Taylor has surpassed people & one day someone will surpass her, and it'll be because of Taylor that whoever that is has the chance to achieve that level of fame. "I know one day I'm gonna meet her it's a fever dream. The kind of radiance you only have at seventeen. She'll know the way, and then she'll say she got the map from me. I'll say I'm happy for her, and then I'll cry myself to sleep." The future is bright and dazzling, but that doesn't mean it won't hurt, and that's alright.

‘who’s afraid of little old me’ is dear reader’s older, much more terrifying sister who’s filled to the brim with female rage and unresolved trauma

“Your boyfriend is evil!” “Your boyfriend is cruel and horrifying!” Well, he’s a joy to me. Maybe it’s a you problem.
