Tortured poets so funny cuz when she’s fantasizing about him he’s this magical lover who actually Understands Her and when they get together she’s like Oh you’re kinda gross and annoying
AND AIN'T THAT ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST COMMON EXPERIENCES?
I literally can’t stop thinking about how the literal FIRST lyrics we ever heard about Joe were “Knew he was a killer first time that I saw him” and then spends every song on TTPD about how loving him was literally killing her. Idk idk idk
I know that everyone has realized this already but I absolutely love how on such a confusing album, she gave us a through line to understanding through the track 5s.
So Long London & How Did it End being the most directly about Joe & being the track 5s is such a lovely way for her to say, “this is what was behind it all. This is what I was really so upset about.”
ending midnights with “is that your key in the door? Is it okay? Is it you? Or have them come to take me away?” and then immediately starting ttpd with “I was supposed to be sent away but they forgot to come and get me” we never stood a chance
The way “and my friends all smell like weed or little babies” describes so well how when you’re in a totally different place in your life than all your friends (and this in and of itself is hard for you) and as a result you feel like no one can relate to what you’re going thru (and it makes dreaming of running away from everyone and everything and starting from scratch so appealing)
Taylor has time to write a 31 song masterpiece, write and direct a music video (and more potentially?), shoot visuals and promo for her album, go around the world on the biggest tour she’s ever done, and you mean to tell me she’s also got time to sew, bake, play pickle ball? GIRL HOW DO YOU DO IT
