realizing things about i can do it with a broken heart

[comebackandbehere]

what i think this album did was separate people who treat taylor as taylor swift the human vs taylor swift the brand

how did it end? - taylor swift

Jameela Jamil on Taylor Swift:

''Here comes the hate train because a woman made stuff that she forced nobody to buy or pay attention to.''

Bestie can you share this again

you bet. First we have the direct and unambiguous examples on ttpd:

So Long, London: "I didn't opt in to be your odd man out /I founded the club she's heard great things about". This example is perhaps the most straightforward that it was not just someone he had a crush on because (1) it was reciprocal with the woman (also i take the 'shes heard great things about' to be that the woman only knew joe was a 'great guy' bc taylors songs (the club she founded) up to that point had painted him as such) (2) being the odd man out directly implies two people were together and one person of these three people was not included. That makes it more than "thought crime". They were physically together

How Did It End?: "We were blind to unforeseen circumstances / We learned the right steps to different dances / And feel victim to interlopers' glances" - an interloper is an unwanted and often unexpected person in a situation. An interloper caused both of them to make decisions that ended things - this isn't referring to taylor's actions in guilty as sin btw - this is her choosing to buy the dream ratty sold her and use it as a reason to finally leave joe - quite literally how it ended right? She finally got the guts to leave Joe, and left him to be with Ratty. Likewise, joe being with another girl was something taylor dealt with at least once with joe but IMO more than once, and notably, it wasn't just that he cheated with someone and it meant nothing, but we know from FOTS, he had feelings for this person when he was not with her even after the fact, and, that the person also meant something to him (imo that would make the burn sting a lot more than it being some drunken mistake eg)

How Did It End?: ""Soon they'll go home to their husbands / Smug 'cause they know they can trust him" This is also very directly saying, the people who find out the story of "how did it end?" btwn taylor and joe will go home to their husbands, feeling superior and self-righteous that their husbands would never "do what joe did" and "can be trusted". The only thing this on this entire planet that can possibly refer to is infidelity.

Fresh Out The Slammer: "Splintered back in winter, silent dinners, bitter / He was with her in dreams". See above. He had feelings for this person! They were fighting and he was thinking about being with the other woman instead of his current situation.

Less overt:

Fortnight: "but what about your quiet treason" + "my husband is cheating I want to kill him". The quiet treason is a secret betrayal, again, cheating that was hidden from her. This plus everything else (being ignored, lonely, etc.) drove her to the drinking as a coping mechanism)

Florida!!!: "and your cheating husband disappeared? well no questions asked here." this song the story of dreaming of running away from your life and hiding out somewhere new, and this lyric creates imagery of, 'you have a cheating husband that has suddenly disappeared? (been killed) i wont say a word' and in a vacuum/isolated instance, i think we couldve chalk it up to artistic liberty for storytelling's sake, but for the bigger picture, it's not an isolated mention. When we look at Florida!!! in context of the entire album, and know that it is a song about dreading a breakup with your current guy because of the shit storm it would create, and you wanna run and hide to avoid it, when part of that running away includes dreams of maybe burying your cheating husband in a swamp, i think it's noteworthy. and before someone says "but that's florence's verse!" they wrote this song together, not in isolated cells, and if taylor didn't want that implication out there she would have not put it out there.

Guilty as Sin? "Am I allowed to cry?" one of the meanings of her asking this at the end (after she gets off) is asking whether she is allowed to be sad about what he did, when she is also maybe guilty of something, too

Prior albums:

The Great War: "maybe it was my ego swinging, maybe it was her" - Her is the other woman. Her ego was bruised, this is why she tore all his banners down and isolated herself while drinking. Side note: "you have to trust more freely" makes my blood boil especially since cheating was a known trigger for her (he was playing w fire)

I know I'm a cunt for this but I'm ready for Taylor to stop being the pop culture world's obsession I'm tired of being blasted with the dumbest bad faith takes ever 24/7 I'm ready for it to just be the girls gays and theys who get it again

[comebackandbehere]

particularly sad about this one today

[comebackandbehere]

The real reason she released a whole ass double album of 31 songs is so she never has to play Mary's song live, in this essay-

2.6 million (double 1.3) is just further proof that taylor is a sorceress

if someone took off my ring and put it on my ring finger and then didn't marry me, I'd literally kill them and chop off their finger
