Still mulling over the significance that Afterglow, off Taylor Swift\u2019s Lover, is a BPD comedown/aftercare anthem
For one that creates a striking parallel with her BPD high anthem Blank Space
For another, like, it is a song explicitly about how she accepts fault, she is to blame for drama, it was gratuitous, and she is sorry; and we haven\u2019t talked enough about how this is an explicit rejection of her whole previous Taylor Swift\u2122 schtick
What are the precedents? Stay Stay Stay she kind of acknowledges she\u2019s creating gratuitous drama, but in the context of appreciating someone literally donning armor to endure her. Back to December she kind of accepts blame for a relationship failure, but in the context of interpreting a months-ago ex as an epic, continuing drama, which is maybe not the best BPD self-awareness
