I know Taylor songs are from her pov so someone else could always argue this isn’t true, but what amazes me is how exacting she is in her descriptions of others - it’s the worst men that I wrote the best - while they don’t even see her. Like whether it’s someone she loves or someone she hates, she so precisely cuts through and describes them just sooo

it’s so precise and exacting and honest and she’s also able to really capture their essence/vibe? like it’s not just the words, it’s also the way the sounds sound and feel. truly a unique talent.

I’ve been thinking and I feel like some critics really liked folkmore because they devalue Taylor writing about her life and feelings. They are great albums and obviously have a lot of personal writing from Taylor about her own life but I feel like some critics found them more “high art” because of the facade that Taylor had evolved out of her “immature” confessional songwriting. Idk

There is a lot to unpack here and I'm posting the ask as a way to put a pin into it and open up the conversation

"So being in the public eye since I was a young teenager, there's a lot that that does to your perception of the world, your perception of yourself—the idea that the world has this sense of ownership, and not just a right, but they feel they have a responsibility to judge you, and to critique you, and to weigh in. And that can really toy with you. Who's Afraid of Little Old Me? was a song I wrote alone, sitting at hte piano, in one of those moments where I felt sort of bitter about just all the things we do to our artists as a society and as a culture. There's a lot about this particular concept on The Tortured Poets Department. What do we do to our writers and our artists and our creatives? We put them through hell, we watch what they create, then we judge it. We love to watch artists in pain, often to the point where I think sometimes as a society, we provoke that pain, and we just watch what happens. So there's lines about feeling like I've been in the circus, those kinds of metaphors, or feeling like I'm sort of like a witch in a haunted house. Those are some ways that I feel sometimes when I'm not able to kind of right the ship and cope with my normal coping mechanisms. So this song was just a very, very true way that I feel sometimes, and it's always good when you can be honest about those things."

the 'are you not entertained?' of it all is just so loud. paired with the whole come one come all it's happening again... but then the whole so high school of it. the way she forces us to unpack our entertainment of her

YUPPPPPPPPPPPP. it challenges you as a listener. i’m obsessed.

you know I think sometimes maybe Taylor thinks we love her because she’s like a “role model” and good advice giver or something, like if you listen to dear reader, but what I think she maybe does not always remember or know is that we love her not because we think she’s perfect or a guiding light, but because she’s just like us…human!!! imperfect, contradictory, passionate, messy, hopeful, reflective, depressed, daydreamy, bitter, unsure … and the only difference between her and us is that she puts all things all we go through into music. Music that we can listen to and adopt and relate to and not feel so weird and lonely about ourselves
