i know a lot of people have mentioned this, but i’m just obsessed with the way taylor refused to sanitize herself on this album. she’s telling you everything. she got off to gross men whilst already in another relationship. she fell for the most obvious lies because she wanted to believe them. she was mad at anyone who tried to warn her. yes, she’s still mad at you for clutching your pearls and watching her like a circus animal btw. she’s having his baby—no she’s not! she just likes trolling. she does really want babies, though. like a lot. she felt like she’d been abducted by aliens and found cosmic love, but in reality, she was manic. and then he fucking ghosted her! and he didn’t even measure up in any measure of a man!!!!! and now she’s devastated by him and his predecessor! she feels like a wondrous prophet one day and the desperate victim of a curse the next. btw he knows how to ball and she knows aristotle. and fuck kim k! also man sex with certain men kinda fucked her up, but at least the writing that came from it defined her legacy. the manuscript isn’t hers anymore. she hopes this insane ass manuscript won’t have to be hers, either! free her of these stories.
down bad using the alien abduction metaphor to describe a love affair that is filled with stars as far as the eye can see and the possibilities of other worlds far away making you feel like you are no longer tethered to the cruel realities of our world juxtaposed with the blunt image of crying at the gym and saying "fuck it if i can't have him" is soooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
**tumblr's poll length limit cut me off, so i know a lot of these aren't the complete first lyric, but you all get the picture of what you're voting on
a very, VERY important post. spread everywhere and screen record the video to your phone. or message me and ill happily send you the video. give to every woman and girl you know.
bc as they both said / demonstrated, its not only super easy to do, but super easy to miss.
my most tinhat taylor theory is that she wrote the first draft of all too well (the one in the lover diary not the tour rehearsal thing) the same night she touched the heat lamp
i'm sorry but society is so lucky the prophecy came out now and not when i was in eighth/ninth grade because like. the girl who watched all her friends find relationships and was the only one still unable to have someone like her back? the girl who begged the universe for someone who cared about her like she cared about everyone else? the one who wanted to be loved more than anything in the world? i would've burned down a building if i had this song back then
