step into the daylight and let it go

everyone’s all “double album please” “she’s gonna do a double album this time” until she actually does. then it turns into “the album is too long” “this could’ve stayed in the vault”

I do think my favourite part of the tortured poet's department is how unreliable the narration is. Like it's done purposefully from the very beginning. This is not from a moment in time where the writer is making sense of things in a way that is logical or connected to reality. It is contradictory, incorporates toxic behaviours, and the actions and reactions throughout different strands are based in feelings that are not grounded or even necessarily based on reality at all.

what's interesting to me about the tortured poets department is that's it's a combination of make-believe and diary truths and the way that she combines these elements makes it impossible to do the "paternity test" on the songs because so many of them apply to multiple situations and people (just like folklore btw) but you're all so caught up in what song is about who that you forget to just enjoy the music because the simple truth is you will never know if that lyric is about matty or joe or probably both and that is how it is supposed to be

being a swiftie is truly not for the fainthearted because you have to deal with the fandom's bullshit and you have to deal with the general public's bullshit and you have to deal with taylor swift's bullshit

i love taylor uses her own songs to tell her story… something so wholesome about it and her music always having her back. very “people haven’t always been there for me, but music has” and “it’s like i’ve got this music in my mind saying it’s gonna be alright” and the piano saving her in cardigan mv and her talking about how TTPD reminded her that songwriting is indeed her lifeboat

i can change everything about me to fit in..... no amount of friends at 25 will fill the empty seats at the lunch tables of your past...... no one wanted to play with me as a little kid so i've been scheming like a criminal ever since..... how can i ever try to be better? nobody ever lets me in......

in the death of her reputation she felt truly alive

Whenever we're blessed enough to see Andrea I legit want to burst into tears. I just love that woman so much.

I will say though the one thing I have learned after 463883 years of being a Taylor Swift fan is never trust a track list drop none of those track titles are going to sound anything like we think they will and I’m so excited

oh this is the album she wrote at the lakes where all the poets went to die

tiktok/twitter swifties are begging for rep tv meanwhile i'm still stuck on i knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss i knew you'd haunt all of my what-ifs the smell of smoke would hang around this long cause i knew everything when i was young i knew i'd curse you for the longest time chasing shadows in the grocery line i knew you'd miss me once the thrill expired and you'd be standing in my front porch light and i knew you'd come back to me
