THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT: THE ANTHOLOGY
Now and then I reread the manuscript but the story isn't mine anymore [insp]

you know I think sometimes maybe Taylor thinks we love her because she’s like a “role model” and good advice giver or something, like if you listen to dear reader, but what I think she maybe does not always remember or know is that we love her not because we think she’s perfect or a guiding light, but because she’s just like us…human!!! imperfect, contradictory, passionate, messy, hopeful, reflective, depressed, daydreamy, bitter, unsure … and the only difference between her and us is that she puts all things all we go through into music. Music that we can listen to and adopt and relate to and not feel so weird and lonely about ourselves

"you need to let it go" that would be really cool, unfortunately I'll take it with me to the grave

the way the black dog feels so intimate and extremely personal and then knowing that taylor actually plays the piano herself on the studio recording of it, which she usually doesn't do, makes it even more so
@fullmetalswift ouch this reminder makes it even more meaningful

Anonymous asked:
I don’t have enough brain cells to understand who/what fortnight is about… the neighbor and husband references?
okay, so like taylor said, fortnight is sort of a prologue to the entire album. it references a lot of other songs (down bad, florida!!!, peter, guilty as sin?) there are a few different ways that it could be read, and i may not stick to this interpretation, but the below is where i landed.
fortnight sets the scene for the entire album and the events that are about to unfold by telling a story about an alternate reality about the future she was headed to in which she and joe ignore their problems, stay together, and build the life they're planning. she's in need of psychiatric help, she's drinking, she's depressed. but the other guy has re-entered her orbit. they're going to keep crossing paths. she feels insane. he's right there. she is insane. her husband cheats on her; she's enraged at him. the other guy is married to someone great; she's enraged at her too. she feels insane. she is insane, because she's fully consumed with the anger of following the bad path instead of taking the risk.
so at the end of the song, she decides she has to run for it. she has to move to america. she has to go to florida and start over. she has to buy the car and let him touch her instead of just daydreaming about it. because if she doesn't scratch the itch, if she doesn't see what happens, if she doesn't chase the guy that's been her "what else?" then well, how will she ever know? and the rest of the record is her realizing that maybe she wishes she hadn't.

“they filled my cell with snakes” being a reference to the mythological Cassandra gaining the ability to see the future after snakes whispered in her ears AND Taylor’s cell(phone) getting flooded with snake (emojis)

so high school is extra precious because it’s in contrast to songs like the tortured poets department. the latter is like “we work well because we’re both insane and crazy and stupid and miserable” but then so high school is like “you make me feel so normal. you make me feel like we’re high school sweethearts, which is so normal” it feels healing
