Jesus, looking back being stunned how inessential Reputation was. Gun to my head tell me to list Taylor Swift singles I would hit Tim McGraw before Look What You Made Me Do.
There were a lot of negative developments in American race relations over the 2010s, so the fact that Reputation was Taylor Swift’s worst album wasn’t in the top 20, but long-term it probably was in the top 40.
Been bumbling around the neighborhood lately, appreciating how it’s reinventing itself as the kind of “Portland” I knew closer in in the early 2010s but had started to write off, like “are we… in the sun-dappled clearing now?”
And had that in mind as I went into a dispensary and “Out of the Woods” came on because of course it did, and I had to keep from looking a fool and crying while the clerk rang up my Pink Lemonade Full Spectrum Blast gummies
See the real deep cut Taylor Swift lyrics to get tetchy about would’ve been Begin Again, the “you’re helping me get over a breakup by being everything to me he couldn’t” song off Red, the album about breaking up with Jake Gyllenhaal, where her examples include “talking about your family’s Christmas traditions”
Also “Taylor Swift was the first female country artist to sing about BPD” is a bad take. I mean,
“Taylor Swift was the first female country artist to acknowledge BPD” also a bad take! She didn’t! She’s been doing it all in subtext, it’s just the 21st century and she’s better as a lyricist!
“Oh Taylor Swift is woke bowdlerizing Speak Now by replacing the ‘she’s better known for the things that she does on the mattress’ line about Camilla Belle”
Okay yes but who is Camilla Belle
I kind of expected the Taylor’s Version lyric controversy to be about whether she still tells people he’s gay on Picture to Burn, but she hasn’t got to the self-titled album yet.
We don’t talk enough about how amazing Taylor Swift’s “Begin Again” is for being a sincere, heartfelt appreciation of a rebound relationship you’re having to get over a breakup.
She has a very clear type – celebrities – that I’m not. (Should point out that as someone fixated on control in life, “minor celebrity” is maybe her sweet spot – they’d still be impressed, but the brightest star in the industry has leverage over them in a way she wouldn’t over some random florist)
Even all the way back in You Belong With Me she wants a Football Star – the celebrities of the popular conception of high school
It’s actually probably kind of weird for her that at this point there is no chance she could end up with a man who socially outranks her
Well she's single again, how 'bout dating Taylor Swift NOW?

The funny thing about people going off online over Taylor Swift’s new boy is she released an album on the theme of “sorry I didn’t care about your social media mob bullshit, I was too busy getting good dick” in 2017
Swifties acting like this is the first time Taylor has done anything wrong as if she wasn’t responsible for a 50% rise in horse euthanasia in Pennsylvania from 2002-2007
The fact that she was able to get what she did to those horses classified as euthanasia is bad enough
Gonna being your post to the ts fandom I hope you have a horrible day!
(Not really i just am very autistic and consider this white woman to be my special interest. I realize she's not everyone's thing but she'll never see those posts but the people who actively enjoy her and do so to cope with trauma will. So like. What's the harm in liking popular white lady lol)
I hope you have a lovely evening and you see something pretty
Listening to Jump then Fall, marveling that that’s the same Taylor Swift we know today… what is she doing with her voice? That’s not even the thing where she had a country drawl on her early records, what is she doing with her voice?
