Haters fail to grasp that Taylor’s massive success isn’t due to any trends , it’s largely based on her relationship with US. If you don’t understand the lore of pen genres she’s not for you

it’s a cruel summer with you *points to the crowd*

who could stay? you could stay *points to the crowd*

i don’t know how it gets better than this *points to the crowd*

we were both young when i first saw you *points to the crowd*

all i can say is i was enchanted to meet you *points to the crowd*

long live the walls we crashed through i had the time of my life…. with you *points to the crowd*

i guess sometimes we all get just what we wanted *points to the crowd*

the joever issue i think some people keep missing/misconstruing is that a need for privacy, while productive in some ways, got to the point where it made it challenging for them to have a life, and was seemingly beginning to make it harder for her to do aspects of her job (and yet she bent anyway to make it work). and that’s a much bigger problem, especially if you’re not getting any of the payoff for those choices in re: a future and forward momentum in the relationship. but anywya

oh this is terrifying

“even statues crumble if they are made to wait”

“one less temptress, one less dagger to sharpen”

“a short leash and a short fuse”

since taylor wrote YLM during midnights but held it, it makes me think what other things she wrote anytime before march '23 that she also held back - because they weren't things she was ready to share at the time. things she couldn't put on midnights, folkmore, lover, but had tried to deal with by writing about them. and i bring this up because im curious if those artifacts stay where they are in a drawer or become part of the postmortem investigation

If entry into THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT is what you seek, step out of the Midnights room and enjoy a peek.🚪

she said in melbourne that writing this album was a lifeline and then we have the you’re losing me medical references and then the whole ttpd writing space is so stark and sterile in that video like a hospital and i just can’t help but think of how it symbolised a total emotional catharsis like ridding and scrubbing and erasing him from her memory and life and soul in order to move on and simply survive ‘i wish i could un-recall how we almost had it all’
