I’m having a spirited debate and need a larger sample size

This quote wow

“When you’re going through loss or embarrassment or shame, it’s a grieving process with so many micro emotions in a day. One of the reasons why I didn’t do interviews for Reputation was that I couldn’t figure out how I felt hour to hour. Sometimes I felt like: All these things taught me something that I never could have learned in a way that didn’t hurt as much. Five minutes later, I’d feel like: That was horrible. Why did that have to happen? What am I supposed to take from this other than mass amounts of humiliation? And then five minutes later I’d think: I think I might be happier than I’ve ever been.”

on a heavier note re: the manuscript I’m thinking about “he said since she was so wise beyond her years everything had been above board” vs “you said if we had been closer in age maybe it would’ve been fine” 🙂

imagine writing something as good as the prophecy and deciding it can go on the b-side

I think you're onto something with Cassandra being about the sale of her masters, but with it being underpinned by everything she said in 2016 being ignored. I am thinking specifically about this part:

They knew, they knew, they knew the whole time That I was onto something The family, the pure greed, the Christian chorus line They all said nothing Blood's thick but nothing like a payroll Bet they never spared a prayer for my soul You can mark my words that I said it first In a morning warning, no one heard

She said at one point every single conversation she had with Scott B. about Scooter was her crying about him. Blood's thick but nothing like a payroll. And the Christian chorus line is clearly Hillsong Church crew. And there has been a lot said about how horrible Scooter is for his clients, but of course when Taylor spoke against him she was the one who was called out.

realizing things about i can do it with a broken heart

[notesonartistry]

"Hello! I wanted to come and say hi. This is a very special theater, because we got all the dancers in this theater. So we also have every single person in this theater has been hand-selected, and hand-picked, and invited to this night, because you've shown some sort of extra type of support for this tour. And I appreciate that more than you could possibly know, like I'm always looking out for people with elevated levels of passion, incredible senses of humor on the internet, attention to detail. These things are very important to me, so thank you for everything you've done that just got us all in this one room, because let me tell you, this tour—I'm just going to start by saying that I've always had fun doing this. I can't believe I get to do music as a career. That's crazy. That's, okay, wow, I've always had so much fun doing it. I've never had this much fun in my life as I have had on the Eras Tour. It is far and away just the most electric experience of my life. And the reason for that is several things. Like, my band, my dancers, our crew, we did this show rain or shine, in sickness and in health, no matter what was going on in our lives, and we did it with a grin on our face because of what greeted us on the other side. Like what you guys were doing in the audience, the amount of care, and preparation, and passion, and intensity that you put into coming to these shows, we absolutely, you pulled us out of anything rough that might have been going on in our lives. You let us forget about it for three-and-a-half hours every night on that stage, so thank you so much for doing that for us. And I think the fans will see, and the dancers, you'll all see how much. you are main characters in this film, and I love you so much. I appreciate you being here, because this night, it is a core memory for me, and you're a part of it, and you decided you wanted to spend your evening here with us. So I really hope you have fun. I hope you love it so much! I hope you're so proud! Thank you for being here! Love you guys! Love ya!"

“The story isn’t mine anymore” is the most perfect album closer ever

[notesonartistry]

This album is about how two men broke her heart just months apart and how she was quite literally going through a mental breakdown while trying to put on a front while performing for millions of people on a world tour but you wouldn’t know that because you’re either so caught up in trying to figure out who each song is about or your so caught up in your hate for her that you’d rather make fun of her in her most vulnerable, raw, and honest state just to make yourself feel better

CAUSE I’M A REAL TOUGH KID I CAN HANDLE MY SHIT THEY SAID BABE YOU GOTTA FAKE IT TIL YOU MAKE IT AND I DID

I really feel like half the reason folklore gets so much love is bc Taylor called the songs largely fictional…like most of TTPD anthology sounds like it could fit on folkmore but everyone is too busy being like but wtf the does I look in peoples windows MEAN
