I can’t handle the thought of that.

What if Cruel Summer doesn’t become a single and doesn’t get a music video...

Taylor used to leave scarves on banisters at sisters houses. Meaning she was just a guest. But now, she’s helping paint brothers room. She’s part of the family. 😭

This. ☝🏼

i don’t want to see you guys dragging taylor for wearing a similar outfit. it’s the metaphor. a man can go to multiple award shows and wear something similar like a plain black suit five times, while when a woman wears something A BIT similar to something she’s worn before she gets dragged. and that’s what happened tonight, proving what she thinks. so all in all, stream the man 💅

Very well presented!

I think what really GETS me about Miss Americana is that the lyrics do really have double meaning.

If you’re not paying attention, you’d be like, ‘oh, yeah, it’s about high school love’... but then you listen closer with the context of her singing about AMERICA, or rather, TO AMERICA and it’s politics. “You know I adore you, I’m crazier for you, than I was at 16, lost a film scene.” This is really obviously symbolism of, ‘I was so caught up in my own life and being distracted by my career I didn’t really notice you, American politics, needed my attention.’

I now kind of read the chorus in two ways, too. She could so easily just be singing to the Heartbreak Prince as a love interest, saying, “It’s you and me,” and that the rest of the world doesn’t approve of her being with him... but the chorus is so much more layered when you approach it from the singing about her society / her country angle. It’s like she’s saying to America, ‘remember when I was known for my 4th of July parties? You were my whole world’, but then the Republicans claimed her for their own in her silence, and people were bullying her and talking about her, so ‘they whisper in the hallway she’s a bad bad girl.’

So when she says, “the whole school is rolling fake dice”, (which is !!!!!) This is her saying she realises the new America she lives in is run by those who manipulate the system, (just like she said in that Guardian interview as well??!). Then she’s like taking a dig, like, if ‘you’re doing to play stupid games with power, then your prize isn’t a real prize, either’.

This analogy is made even more clear and easier to see in the second verse with, “my team is losing / batteries and bruising / I see the high fives between the bad guys,” and “American stories, burning before me / boys will be boys then, where are the wise men?’ Because guess who said, ‘boys will be boys’ famously???? A certain President.

The whole analogy is genius when it’s then mixed with the American high school symbolism as well? Because to anyone who isn’t American, the MOST American thing is movie vision of ‘high school’, of cliques, of cheerleaders and bleachers.

And there ain’t nothing more cliquey and high school than two party politics at the moment, huh?

“This song is one that was hard to write, because it’s something that I’m going through right now. My dad got cancer when I was 13 and he got better, and it wasn’t a very long process, but things with my mom have been very different. This song is special in a lot of ways because when I wrote this one, I recorded it with Jack, and he was working, at the time, with the Dixie Chicks, making their new album. That’s the band that made me wanna do this. There’s a handful of artists that made me wanna do this. The Dixie Chicks taught me that you can have a strong female voice, saying whatever she wants in music, and experimenting with having a very feminine aesthetic, but very tough resilience to them. And their musicianship, the way that they played their instruments made me wanna play an instrument. Basically, I said to Jack, ‘Can you please play this song for the Dixie Chicks? It’s a really special song for me and my family, and they were such a big part of my life, and I wonder if maybe they can sing background vocals on it, or maybe even play on it if they wanted to.’ And he played it for them, and they got really emotional hearing it, and wanted to sing on it and play fiddle and banjo on it too. So, the background vocals that you’re hearing in this song are the Dixie Chicks, who I’m obsessed with.”

I’ve been thinking about and listening to “I forgot that you existed” lot lately. I know it can easily be interpreted as an ex lover, but for me it hits in a different way.

See, I’m estranged from my family. I don’t see or talk to any of them ever. It’s been this way for 9 years.

As you can imagine, this has been so hard for me. But certain members (my mom and sister) did some truly awful, horrible, unforgivable things to me and the rest of the family supported them.

As I’ve moved on and grown up and matured and built a new life for myself, they have become more and more of a distant memory. But there are some days when I still cry over that loss.

My hope for myself is to get to a place where I can truly say “it isn’t love. It isnt hate. It’s indifference. So yeah.”

Thanks for listening. Love you guys!

@taylorswift thank you for yet another song that so clearly explains how I’m feeling when I’ve never been able to fully. 💋
