Taylor who?

Too rageful to be eloquent right now so the words of others will have to suffice for the moment.

btw this isn’t the extent of the horrors white supremacists will enact. the real horrors will start as they return to their communities with the high of having broken into the fucking capitol with guns and bombs and having been protected by the police and the president. the real horrors will be enacted on poc and Black ppl specifically now that white supremacists know they can do whatever the fuck they want with guaranteed protection, they will not be enacted on congressmen. it’s not your politicians you have to worry about. pelosi will be just fine.

to whatever teenager needs to hear this:

statistically your generation is having less underage sex & drinking less & doing fewer drugs & generally making better choices than your parents’ generation

the shit you see on tv is just a bunch of middle-aged tv producers (who should know better) sexualizing you & projecting onto your age group. 

do your best not to internalize it as normal, and absolutely call them on their bullshit. 

Nothing makes me think she’s a lesbian trapped in a PR relationship more than the fact that she literally has never addressed the gay rumors lol

So my immediate thought when watching the interview with Colbert, is that I feel like the bit about “hey Stephen” being about him, and there being all this evidence (as a bit) and her denying it, is like a parallel to all of the gaylor/kaylor evidence and then everyone (including Taylor via her pr narrative) denying it.

She says to him that if she were going to write a song about him she wouldn’t name it after him, that would be too obvious. She says songwriting “is in the details”. She even lists things that she would say about him like him being on tv, on the daily show, being 5’11” etc. when she said “I love you on the tv” it immediately made me think of “you’re a queen selling dreams, selling make up and magazines”.

At another point she describes where his exact location is in New York, which immediately made me think of “you’re the west village”. Another detail that shows the truth of a song.

The basic take away of too-obvious titles, and the truth being in the details of the song, is so LOUD. It reinforces the falseness of all of the anachronisms that we’ve been pointing out in her last four albums. Songs said to be about toe, but whose details only actually work with Karlie. Or songs that are said to be about straight relationships, but whose details seem to clearly suggest a wlw relationship. For instance, Cardigan referencing “high heels on cobblestones” and James in Betty singing “I was walking home on broken cobblestones”. The truth is in the details

Also the comment about too-obvious titles vs details made me cackle about London Boy 😂 it really is Blank Space 2.0

God there are so many other examples... “looking out the window like I’m not your favorite town/I’m New York City/I still do it for you baby” when joe has stated New York is definitely not his favorite city, but a certain lady loves it. “I’m so mystified by how this city screams your name”, etc.

She keeps giving us entire albums that are the equivalent of lyrical mood boards, covered in photos of Karlie (plus some of Emily and Sue, and other sapphic icons/characters) and then says “no I don’t know what you’re talking about, it’s from a male perspective”. And it’s so obvious that it’s a joke, just like this bit. It also stood out to me that there was audible laughter from the crew members in the studio(s). Which felt like it echoed all of us, watching Taylor pull gayer and gayer songs, themes, imagery with each album, then saying “where?” with a semi straight face, just redirecting the gps attention. And us sitting back in astonishment and delirious laughter asking “how can they not see it??”

“it’s just a parking lot”

exactly. there’s nothing there. not a statue. not a plaque. nothing.

I was in line at Aldi and this girl with two toddlers in front of me had her card declined and she looked so fucking sad and said “let me call my husband real quick” and it was only 18 dollars, so I just paid for it, and she was very sweet and then as she walked off, the lady behind me said `”You know that was probably a scam, right?” and like, even if it was, like what a sad fucking scam, right? 18 dollars at the Aldi. If you’re “scamming” me for some Tyson chicken and apple juice and cauliflower, then just take my fucking money. 

“A scam” people are fucking wild.
