the “i’m so in love that i might stop breathing” to “as she was leaving it felt like breathing” pipeline 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

okay now i’m SUPER interested in her pronoun usage so far - “we hereby conduct”, “as she was leaving”, “crowd goes wild at her fingertips”. it’s like creating a distance, turning the subject of the songs into this other person, someone else that all this is happening to while taylor herself is conducting the analysis

"crowd goes wild at her fingertips" bro this is giving "i'm going to try something here" during the lover set when she points at the crowd like a magician as if her fingertips have the power to make the fans scream. Was that... dare i say... was that... no it couldn't be .. oh my god. it was
