i’m really curious how people villainizing taylor for talking about her experiences handle this stuff in their life. because if someone i knew told me about a relationship, and equated their emotions in that relationship to the stages of grief, i certainly would not invalidate their emotions and call them a liar/hypocrite. taylor being a celebrity does not mean she is incapable of emotion and that her feelings automatically don’t matter. she’s still a human.

i just. did people want her to just swallow this? never speak of it again? pretend that she was never hurt, that it was all fine, that he's perfect?

so much of debut is about taylor observing the people in her life. tied together with a smile, stay beautiful, mary’s song, even cold as you to an extent tell the stories of others, and they’re placed alongside extremely personal songs like a place in this world, the outside, and tim mcgraw among others. you’re seeing someone slowly go from watching others go through life to developing her own emotions and identity—all while immortalizing them and younger versions of herself in her music.

“i don’t owe anyone anything” is one of the most incredibly callous and damaging phrases to enter popular vernacular. you owe everyone kindness and consideration, always. understand the idea of a social contract. you cannot reap the benefits of human society and interaction while maintaining such a cold and thankless attitude about it. i mean you can but you’d be a bad person for it

People trying to pathologize like eating sweets and jerking off is wild. "I stopped doing this thing that feels good and I want more now ?? So this is an addiction and I have to keep avoiding it until the craving goes away" no you just want to enjoy things because you're a human being. Chocolate and porn and whatever aren't, like. Meth. It won't kill you to feel good. You don't have to be a medieval monk

Like yes it's possible to have an unhealthy relationship with whatever gives you the easiest dopamine hit but the thing is that that's more symptomatic of, like. Being depressed. Than pleasure itself being evil and bad for you

If you feel like you're overindulging in 1 thing, the solution is to fill your life with a variety of indulgences, not live in deprivation.

so now that taylor has confirmed she would've announced ttpd tonight if she didn't win a grammy - i am happy she won but i also wish she'd announced ttpd tonight because can u imagine the chaos. there's only like 10 people online rn and barely any live streams, it would take 5 mins for someone to see something about it and say 'NEW ALBUM?!!!!!' and it'd take 5 mins for other people to realise (because the dash is dead at this time) and then we'd lose our heads trying to find a source and then the europeans would wake up confused and then the americans would wake up even MORE confused and it'd be CHAOS
