OMG

I’m so struck by how Taylor has retold the story of 2016 so many times and I’m so many ways because as time passes and things happen and things change it reframes and reframes and reframes in her mind because the pain never goes away, the way it looks just changes with the light

i love this album because for the first time in maybe her entire career she's not apologising for a single thing. the album is angry and raw and she's like "here's this chapter of my life, the sad, the bad, the terrible and it's all raw and fucking angry for you all to see and i don't need absolution for a single thing" like she's not asking forgiveness for a single thing from anyone and that's what makes the album so fucking heartbreaking

it's like she's so angry she doesn't give a fuck about biting her tongue or double guessing her words. she doesn't care if she comes out embarrassing, or naive, or angry, or pathetic, or whatever. she had to get this off her chest and she wasn't gonna ask for either permission nor forgiveness from her muses but also not from herself either. she said what she had to said how she had to say it and called it a day, hurt feelings be damned

this as an album outro 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

i said this in the tags on a post but i’ll just say it here. the tortured poets department isn’t about joe and ruining his image! it’s about taylor coping and deal with the breakup! as in the wise wise words of maisie peters:

ITS NOT ABOUT ANDREW ITS ABOUT WHAT HE REPRESENTS!

reblogging this before tiktok says the album is solely about joever and not her deconstructing her image and scrutinizing herself along with the public to heal from years worth of trauma and grief

imagine telling yourself on april 8th 2023 what would take place on april 19th 2024

"oh 25 years old oh how were you to know" // "but you were 25 and the shelf life of those fantasies has expired"

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

taylor: the fucking sky is falling and im going to die right now
