I'm just too soft for all of it

Taylor Swift for 'THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT'

This is not a pretty album. it's not what people thought they wanted to hear, it's not what anyone predicted. I'm not sure it's supposed to be for anyone but herself in a way and I absolutely love that.

me, when a taylor swift song actually pairs really well with another taylor swift song that taylor swift herself chose to pair together

Taylor writing an entire song about how she was sleeping so long in a 20-year dark night but then found daylight, and nearly naming the whole lover album daylight because of how real love to her shined golden like daylight -> so long london's "a moment of warm sun but I'm not the one"

And you'll confess why you did it, and I'll say, "Good riddance" THE SMALLEST MAN WHO EVER LIVED

thinking about “dear reader pick out your map pick somewhere and just run” and “i’ll save all my romanticism for my inner life and i’ll get lost on purpose this place made me feel worthless”

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

the peaked at high school girls who have cosplayed being a swiftie for a year are having a hard time comprehending ttpd lyrics and it's sending me. taylor swift is for the nerds, artists and daydreamers you bullied in school. you wouldn't last an hour in the asylum they raised me, the world is healing

if we ignore all the stuff that's gone wrong ive kind of had nothing but wins
