😳
i have not stopped laughing at this
I love music :) *RUNS INTO A WALL
these songs were once about my life. they are now about yours. (1989 album prologue, 2014) // now and then i read the manuscript but the story isn’t mine anymore (the manuscript, 2024)
Well, you should be.
no because i’m so obsessed with this album. not in the way that i’m like “oh these are my favorite songs ever” (tho some of them are). but in the way that ttpd is such a beautiful piece of art. you can tell it was made for her peace of mind. it’s honest. raw. real. it makes you think. it makes you uncomfy. it makes you feel alive. and that’s beautiful in my opinion.

Do we feel like this was legit a MATTY record? Or a couple songs about Matty? There’s a difference.
neither. it’s a record about what happens when you shatter and everyone’s watching.
tiktok swifties are failing to understand the album is literally an anthology of poetry but to music, so it’s meant to be long and slow processing. you’re supposed to sit and meditate on it. you need to think about the lines, think about the authors life, think about your own, then go back to the song with understanding. it’s not an easy breezy album, it’s taylor swifts poetry collection and we’re all supposed to sit on it
we really have 2 hours of new music u guys we are so so lucky. other fandoms have to beg for new music but we are so spoiled
i still think about this
fortnight / the 1975 parallels
i love you / it’s ruining my life
people hated lover because it was too happy and now people hate ttpd because it’s too sad she can never do anything right for you people
desperately miss when only the swifties cared about an album release because why are random people who admit they do not care about Taylor making analysis posts about the lyrics. that’s not for you. you don’t even know what that means. for every random lyric Taylor throws into a song there is another lyric that requires at least 7 years of lore to fully understand.
