omg i thought i was the only one 😭😭 the album blends together and not in a good way, and i feel like there’s genuinely no effort in the lyrics? like ppl are gonna praise her writing but i literally went and listened to some folklore after and it’s so much better? like it’s not great songwriting AND it’s not a bop so what is it. (i did like who’s afraid of little old me tho and i like cassandra but i can imagine a version of it that’s 100 times better? like ur gonna invoke one of the most infamously screwed women in myth and do only that?)

exactly like i'm not even comparing her to other songwriters, i'm comparing her to herself!

even the better songs could've been so much better! like idk i'd have killed for a rock ballad, something like a more melancholy long live. i'm also not saying the whole thing is garbage. i like how she stuck it to the fans with but daddy i love him, because matty was a turd but the swifties really have no say in her dating life, and florida!!! is the only one that managed to get stuck in my head a little, but we're talking about 31 songs. 31 songs and each of us only found two (2) salvageable ones lol.

what happened to the reds and the 1989s, where you did not skip a song? what about folklore and evermore, where you had a cohesive album? there's such a mess with the themes and the sounds... idk, i feel like she tried to please everyone by having half the album by aaron and half by jack.

i read a critic that said something along the lines of "taylor said she needed to write all this, the thing is that maybe we didn't have to listen to it." and you know what. that's it. that's the problem. PRUNE IT!!! make it 15 songs instead of 30. make some hooks and write a banger or two. choose your favorites and have them edited by someone who's not your yes-man or your bestie. then, for the one year anniversary, release the b-side with the rest of the songs and hey! it would probably feel fresher that way.

#i like the theory that Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus is about joe and that she lowkey outed him as bi with it?#its funny in a messy but problematic way #answered #taylor swift #ttpd #anonymous #another problem is that the die-hard stans will call her a queen and will say any critic is a hater or whatever and like. that stunts you.#you need to listen when you're making a mistake

Lighting round! TTPD+A Songs, their public meanings and their actual meanings (red text means im unsure):

Fortnight - Matty - Taylor's public and private personas

TTPD - Matty/maybe Joe - Taylor from Karlie's perspective

My Boy Only Breaks His Favourite Toys - Joe breaking Taylor's heart - Joe acting like a child and ruining their bearding contract that started off really good

Down Bad - probably Matty, maybe Joe - Taylor hating bearding and loving Karlie and hating how distant she and Karlie have to be

So Long London - Toe breakup - Taylor being terrified of the power toe held over her relationship(???)

But Daddy I Love Him - Loving Matty (maybe travis?) despite the public hearing him - loving women/karlie despite public opinion that its wrong/mocking the heteronormative ideals she's been slotted into (you should see your faces!!)

Fresh Out The Slammer - idek what the public are supposed to think. Maybe this idea that she was dating Joe while in love with matty?? Who knows. - Her bearding relationships being like prison while she steals as much time with Karlie as she can

Florida - escaping from the drama of her life for a bit - same. Maybe from karlies perspective

Guilty as Sin? - emotionally cheating on Joe with matty - being queer in a society where it's seen as sinful

Who's Afraid of Little Old Me - taylor vs her haters within the entertainment industry

I can fix him (no really I can) - matty?? Maybe travis - another bearding song, this time about Taylor taming a difficult beard / maybe just a fun song she wrote

loml - Joe - maybe karlie and the way they both struggled with bearding

I can do it with a broken heart - taylor performing in one of the biggest tours ever during a breakup - Taylor's betrayal when her masters were sold, her being able to rerecord her albums with stunning success

Smallest man who ever lived - joe / matty - her trust of the man who sold her masters

The Alchemy - Travis - Karlie at the Eras tour

Clara Bow - how women are treated in the music industry

The Black Dog - Joe - no clue

imgonnagetyouback - Joe??? Matty??? - potentially laying the groundwork for getting back together with karlie

The Albatross - Taylor's reputation - the open secret of taylor being queer in the music industry and how that's frowned upon / potentially taylor coming out soon

Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus - Taylor being in love with Matty for 10 years or something - Karlie and Taylor beading and both loathing it / potential set up for kaylor reunion

How did it end? - Taylor being angry at people being nosey over her relationship ending - almost coming out during lover only to be forced back in the closet

So High School - Being in love with travis - openly mocking travis and even the idea that she loves him

I Hate It Here - hating the public eye / rebounding from Joe with matty - hating the public eye / hating bearding

thanK you aIMee - hating Kim K - maybe hating KK, maybe others who are more homophobic

I look in people's windows - losing joe/matty - having to be separate from karlie for bearding / potential kaylor reunion set up

The Prophecy - Taylor wondering if she will ever find love - her wanting to find a place in her career where she can finally come out

Cassandra - the kimye drama - taylor worrying about coming out

Peter - a kid she loved when she was also a kid - the failed coming out

The Bolter - Taylor not being able to commit ?? - not sure, maybe setting up for a kaylor reunion

Robin - THEY HAVE NO IDEA. THEY HAVE NO CLUE. THEY CANNOT EXPLAIN IT. I'VE SEEN PEOPLE SAY ITS ABOUT HER FREAKING CAT - her son! her eldest SON! there is NO other explanation!

The Manuscript - Joe/Matty/maybe Joe Jonas or one of Taylor's old boyfriends who were much older than her - Karlie bearding with Josh

LMK if you want credit for a theory, I'm not sure how a lot of them started :)
