wait it just clicked for me that “loss of my life” isn’t her saying that in a he’s the one that got away kind of way, but rather he’s always going to represent this thing that nearly killed her and turned her life upside down

it’s both!!!! that’s why it’s so brilliant

Her writing YLM right after rolling out Red TV/ATW is literally so CRAZY

Core of TTPD Universe

Asked you to write it down for me. Should have kept every grocery store receipt. 'Cause every scrap of you would be taken from me. MARJORIE

Who's Taylor Swift anyway? Ew.

ik i said it before but the way taylor has slowly been deviating from typical song/album structure and conventions (since with INTHAF) is something im obsessed with rn on ttpd because i think this idea of paving her own path and throwing out all the rules is also symbolic of how she has also been approaching her career as a whole since > the lover album too. two new albums in 4 months? do it. announce album in acceptance speech? why not. 3 hour concert with 431 costume changes? it's doable if you want it to be. 10 minute song holding peoples attention, topping bb100? yup. telling people off? dropping late night editions to albums? no lead singles? no big radio friendly hits? throwing out the idea of 'eras' and burning that house down? songs about possibly unpalatable topics? throwing herself off the pedestal by her own admissions? largely unedited 31 song album? YOLO, baby.

hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you

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

john green defending TTPD on twitter I know that’s right

But it turned out I'm harder to forget than I was to leave And, yeah, I bet you think about me
