I just wrote a novel of a rant in my drafts that would probably end up in catastrophe if I posted it because I’m calling people out that refuse to admit wrongdoing, those using their hatred of Taylor to make themselves look like prolific activists when it’s all smoke & mirrors. It’s all an egoic extravaganza cloaked in false nobility and jargon. They claim to care about all of these societal issues but think sitting online ranting about how problematic and evil Taylor Swift is and then intermittently reblogging horrifically graphic images and statistics is doing something positive. That is dystopian. We have lost our connection to reality, both fans and haters alike.

I’m logging off tumblr for awhile to go be a real human being and genuinely fight for what I care about because I’m starting to find myself investing time into this petty bullshit instead of doing something meaningful; what a pathetic waste of my own privilege. I’m becoming what I’m angry about and it has to stop.

I know this post might be out of left field, but it is so painful to watch the exploitation of very real types of injustice (many of which i endure every single day that so many claim to know like the back of their hand) to justify hating a pop star and to prove that you’re not like other white people. They complain about the cycles we’re stuck in and that nothing’s changing but the call is coming from inside the house. We all need to hold ourselves accountable. This is fucking humiliating.

Taylor Swift, I hate it here

i have not stopped laughing at this

you wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me

this is going to sound so stupid because i want taylor to be the biggest and most successful in the world but the general internet nastiness right now makes me long for when album releases used to feel more fun than stressful. my favorite musician is releasing a record! i should feel zero stress and anxiety!

no one listened to me as a child so now i overshare on the internet

i love the…. almost horror aspects of this album. all the references to ghosts and death…. and sonically, the unexpected shrieking in WAOLOM and the banging and screaming during “old habits die screaming” and even the way the tension subtly builds across the sixteen tracks and by the end you’re so stressed and shaken it’s like! losing your sense of self and feeling like you’ve become a monster is horror. and i’m sooooo glad she leaned into it

It makes me laugh that the same kinds of people who criticize the “I’m just a girl” lifestyle (which should 100% be criticized in excessive use and as a mentality) are those who refuse to realize that mentalities like that won’t go away as long as they keep obsessively demeaning things that are “womanly” or “girlish”. If you’re constantly calling things women commonly identify with “shallow”, “vapid”, “humiliating”, “basic”, “vain” of course we’ll become hyper-reductive in defense.

Also I'm sorry but if your take away from the album is she was defending Matty I can't help you she literally calls him the smallest man who's ever lived and says he deserves PRISON. But daddy I love him is a song once again about her reaffirming her agency as a human being. Can you imagine having the breakdown of your life you're actively in a manic episode and your own fans are turning on you and insisting they know better for you 😭 she hates Matty and imo clearly regrets her involvement with him but that doesn't make the criticism she almost alone shouldered was fair. If she weren't Taylor Swift™️ she could've done this privately like any other person and no one would be any the wiser. Bc of her fame and status that's impossible! And it is dehumanizing and not entirely fair to her and she is allowed to have feelings about this and push back

TTPD Collector's Edition: The Black Dog patch

It’s driving me crazy how people like can’t seem to comprehend that Taylor was experiencing a mental health crisis!!!! She lays it right out in the poem!! It was mania!!

the entire album is about this. like people keep talking about a joe album or a matty album and the answer is (c) neither of the above. it’s an album about mental health, what drives someone to the brink, what happens when you get there. that doesn’t mean the muses and the gossip are uninteresting. but they’re sort of sitting in the backseat of this story.

the most interesting part of this album is that it begs the question of why taylor must only tell stories that are palatable to us. people not liking matty doesn’t mean it happened any less. and just because people don’t want to hear it doesn’t mean she’s obligated not to tell it? idk, it’s just a really interesting thing to think about and is imo the genesis of the fame throughline on the album.

Not once have I ever expected myself to have a crush on Post Malone but here we are

at the end of the day we do it all for him though <33

still not laughing about this

Not me watching Lana’s entire Coachella set expecting Taylor to be a surprise guest all for her to randomly bring out Camila 😭😭😭😭

I think what a lot of people don't understand about "But Daddy I Love Him" is that it's TTPD's "Superman". Both are extremely positive portrayals of a time period where she romanticized a relationship so that she didn't have to acknowledge the fact that it was actually very toxic and harmful to her. The point of the song is not, "My relationship was great but you guys ruined it." The point is that the relationship was so terrible and she was so manic that she felt like she had to scream from the rooftops how great it is. She put it on the Denial playlist for a reason.
