Is it wrong to be a Taylor Swift hater?
Like... is it low-key leftover internalized misogyny?
Or does her music just suck?
#idk i could go on but why bother#ive been thinking about this a lot lately#like i really used to be EXTREMELY misogynistic growing up and i started hating tswift from the beginning and never changed my mind#but i cant tell if all my reason for not liking her are actually justified or if its just confirmation bias#and the first name she gave was taylor swift. and i couldnt help but laugh out loud. (over text#but i genuinely dont find her music interesting#i did like that blank space song the first time i heard it#but after listening to the words i realized i didnt really connect with it and didnt like it as much#but its got a really fun melody#idk its also kind of like that post thats like 'were you an OG justin bieber hater at age 13 just because?'#like is part of my disdain for her just stemming from my need to dislike popular things in general cause im a pretentious little indie lover#who knows idk#maybe i shouldnt hate taylor swift#hating taylor swift isnt a personality trait#but also i cant stop thinking about this one girl i matched with on tinder who said she was going into hearing medical sciences#because of the profound effect that music has had on her in her life#and i already knew exactly how she would answer this question just from looking at her but i asked her#what artists she enjoyed that had such a profound effect on her#and the first name she gave was taylor swift and i couldnt help but laugh out loud#(over text tho she did not hear me thankfully)#idk maybe i have nothing againt the woman as a person (i dont fucking know her so i cant) but im just annoyed by the concept of her#she has this like false success story of being a small town nobody who made it big or something#but that isnt even true she had a rich father who was able to move her across the country#and use his wealth and connections to jumpstart her career#i DO think it is impressive that she writes all of her own songs in an age where the mainstream music industry does not do that#but there are a million and one indie artists writing their own songs that i appreciate more#because theyre writing about things i actually care about#not to mention the way people believe with theyre whole heart that she is queer like come on yall...

(tw suicide)
so like one of the things that suck and just becomes Part of Your Life when you lose a parent (and/or maybe even just an immediate family member in general) to suicide that I even forget about sometimes is that that's part of MY medical history now. like I went to the gynecologist for the first time here and since I'm a new patient she was asking about the health conditions of my parents and grandparents and in my head i'm like ok yeah my material grandma died of a heart attack and my dad has high cholesterol and blood pressure.... oh yeah I guess I should mention my mom died by suicide that's probably relevant to an assessment of my health I guess and then its like oh great now i gotta bum out a stranger
anyways consider this your reminder that suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem and the people who love you can and will still feel the effects of losing you 18 years later and for the rest of their lives

Hi Louis, are there any plot points/mentions on 9-1-1 that you wish were expanded further on the show (not just Buddie related)? For myself I'm still a little bitter they never mentioned all Buck did during the tsunami.
And when Buck and Eddie get married, what song do you think will be their first dance to? (I already made 3 playlists for them but Strangers by Maddie & Tae makes me go This is so them every time I listen to it. )
Thank you for making scrolling through the Buddie tag so much fun, Carly
ooohhhh im so gald you brought this up bc ive been dying to talk about it—
but in all seriousness i love this question!!
1. plot points i wish were expanded on more
i have a few but im only going to narrow it down to this one because it is something that has always kind if rubbed me the wrong way… but i really wish they could have spent more time exploring Hen’s relationship with her mom. I might be in the minority here, but to me the whole arc of Toni coming back into Hen’s life felt very quick and almost…. too simple? (not that it was simple at ALL but) As a queer person who has had a rocky relationship with my parents, it is always something i love to see portrayed in media more rather than just automatically jumping to the “supportive ally” trope as a way to make a story more feel-good if that makes sense. And i saw the bones for that in the storyline with Hen and Toni, but because of the state of the show at FOX that season i understand why they didn’t make it a bigger deal….. however i really wish they had!
(also i agree them never mentioning what buck did in the tsunami has always rubbed me the wrong way— i definitely feel like they all should have already gotten medals at this point for other rescues in the past so the fact that they only just now are getting them has annoyed me, but im just glad the firefam is getting recognition for something)
2. Buddie Wedding Song
I am kissing you on the forehead for this question bc i love love love love LOVE talking about stuff like this….
This isn’t for their first dance, but i have always loved the idea of Karen singing “At Last” during the ceremony (a la bones, which wasn’t what inspired it in my head but upon further inspection is actually really similar to what i would want their wedding to look like) bc i think the fact that we haven’t heard tracie thoms’ voice on the show yet is a CRIME.
As as far as a first dance song, i love the idea of them dancing to something softer— a couple that come to mind are Love Like This (Ben Rector) and Love Me Tender (Norah Jones). If they wanna cash in on the Adele hype now, i DEFINITELY wouldn’t be opposed to Make You Feel My Love (maybe even sung by Maddie so that we get JLH’s vocals again??). i also could see You Are The Reason (Calum Scott). If they wanted to go the taylor swift route, i could see You Are In Love, Enchanted, or even Daylight (which daylight would admittedly have me sobbing like a baby).
Also strangers by maddie & tae is SOOOOOO BUDDIE…. this wouldn’t be their first dance song, but Friends Don’t is such a quintessential Buddie song to me 👌👌👌
thank you for the ask, and your sweet note at the end! I really loved getting to answer this ask 💕💕

Perspective's Sentence Starters; The Tortured Poets Department by Taylor Swift (Part IV)
I LOOK IN PEOPLE'S WINDOWS
I had died the tiniest death.
I spied the catch in your breath.
I'm afflicted by the not knowing.
I look in people's windows.
They have their friends over to drink nice wine.
I look in people's windows in case you're at their table.
What if your eyes looked up and met mine one more time?
I still ponder what it meant.
I triеd searching faces on streets.
What are the chances you'd be downtown?
Does it feel alright to not know me?
I'm addicted to the "if only".
I look in people's windows like I'm some deranged weirdo.
THE PROPHECY
It's gone again.
I got cursed like Eve got bitten.
Was it punishment?
I guess a lesser woman would've lost hope.
A greater woman wouldn't beg.
I've been on my knees.
Change the prophecy.
Don't want money, just someone who wants my company,
Let it once be me.
Who do I have to speak to about if they can redo the prophecy?
Still I dream of him.
I sound like an infant.
A greater woman stays cool.
I howl like a wolf at the moon.
I look unstable.
Gathered with a coven 'round a sorceress' table.
A greater woman has faith.
Even statues crumble if they're made to wait.
I'm so afraid I sealed my fate.
Spending my last coin so someone will tell me it'll be okay.
CASSANDRA
That's where I was when I got the call.
In the streets, there's a raging riot.
Burn the bitch.
When the truth comes out, it's quiet.
They killed *Name* first 'cause she feared the worst
They filled my cell with snakes.
Do you believe me now?
I was in my tower weaving nightmares.
What doesn't kill you makes you aware.
What happens if it becomes who you are?
They set my life in flames.
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 the morning warning, no one heard.
That's where I was when I lost it all.
I was onto something.
Not a single word was heard.
PETER
My lost fearless leader.
Is it something I did?
The goddess of timing once found us beguiling.
She said she was trying.
Was she lying?
I didn't wanna come down.
I thought it was just goodbye for now.
You said you were gonna grow up.
Are you still a mind reader?
I've heard great things.
Life was always easier on you than it was on me.
Sometimes it gets me.
We both did the best we could do.
I didn't wanna hang around.
I won't confess that I waited, but I let the lamp burn.
I hoped you'd return.
Tell me all that you'd learned.
Love's never lost when perspective is earned.
You said you'd come and get me.
The shelf life of those fantasies has expired.
Forgive me, *Name*, please know that I tried.
I tried to hold on to the days when you were mine.
The woman who sits by the window has turned out the light.
THE BOLTER
She almost drowned when she was six in frigid water.
I can confirm she made a curious child.
Reviled by everyone except her own father.
Splendidly selfish, charmingly helpless.
Excellent fun 'til you get to know her.
She runs like it's a race.
Her best mates laughed and they nicknamed her "The Bolter".
Oh, we must stop meeting like this.
It always ends up with a town car speeding out the drive one evening.
He'll call her a whore
As she was leaving, it felt like breathing.
All her fuckin' lives flashed before her eyes.
It feels like the time she fell through the ice, then came out alive.
He was a cad, wanted her bad.
She liked the way he tastes.
At first blush, this is fate.
What a charming Saturday.
She just knows she must bolt.
She's been many places with men of many faces.
Hearts are hers for the breakin'.
She's got the best stories.
As she was leaving, it felt like freedom.
ROBIN
Long may you reign.
You're an animal.
You are bloodthirsty
You have no idea.
All this showmanship to keep it for you in sweetness.
Way to go, tiger.
Long may you roar.
You're a just ruler.
You look ridiculous and you have no idea.
Buried down deep and out of your reach, the secret we all vowed to keep.
You got the dragonflies above your bed.
You have a favorite spot on the swing set.
You have no room in your dreams for regrets.
You have no idea.
The time will arrive for the cruel and the mean.
You'll learn to bounce back just like your trampoline.
But now we'll curtail your curiosity in sweetness.
THE MANUSCRIPT
Now and then she rereads the manuscript of the entire torrid affair.
I'm not a donor but I'd give you my heart if you needed it.
You're a professional.
No, just a good samaritan.
If the sex was half as good as the conversation was, soon they'd be pushin' strollers.
Soon it was over.
She wished she was thirty..
Couldn't sleep unless it was in her mother's bed.
She dated boys who were her own age.
She was so wise beyond her years.
Everything had been above board.
The years passed like scenes of a show.
The Professor said to write what you know.
Lookin' backwards might be the only way to move forward.
The actors were hitting their marks.
The slow dance was alight with the sparks.
At last, she knew what the agony had been for.
The only thing that's left is the manuscript.
One last souvenir from my trip to your shores.
The story isn't mine anymore.

I’m finding myself irrationally pissed off by this, so I have to say something about it, even if I’m just screaming into the void. I’m usually able to let these sort of things go, because they ultimately have nothing to do with me, but this is sticking with me for some reason, so here I am.
One of my least favourite things about politics is that, come election time, they all focus on tearing down their opponents. Instead of telling me what they plan to do to make my life better, they focus on telling me what the other guy isn’t going to do. The negativity, the backbiting, the cattiness - I despise it.
And now, it’s come around in the entertainment industry, targeted at Taylor Swift. I know it’s always been there in some capacity, but the volume of it now is insane.
Look, I’m not Taylor Swift’s biggest fan. A few of her songs have stood out to me, but I don’t own any of her albums in full, and I don’t seek out anything about her. So when I have seen, over the last three days, three different attacks on her, her music, her popularity, whatever - I can only imagine how much more is actually out there.
And here’s the thing - these attacks are in the form of 1. another artist essentially calling Swift’s music shallow, with the implication that their own music is for cerebral, intellectual people, 2. an artist complaining that by putting on such large shows, Swift is preventing people from coming to their own show (which is on the same day) and 3. some apparent celebrity or other (ive never heard their name before and can’t recall it now) saying that Swift should step back and let other artists have a chance at an award/number 1 song/what have you. So firstly, all these things clearly smack of jealousy, and I think we can all recognize that.
But the schoolyard pettiness, the participation-trophy entitlement, is what is really bothering me about this.
Taylor Swift should not have to make herself smaller in service of these greedy, jealous, grasping people, or anyone else.
One thing I have observed, mostly from osmosis because again, I don’t seek out information about her, is that Taylor Swift treats her career like that’s what it is. It’s a job. It’s her work. It’s work she’s passionate about, and work she loves, but it’s work. She’s (at least mostly) not in it for the fame and the fortune. She’s in it because she loves music and wants to share it, and she’s gained the fame and fortune because so many people connect with her and her music. That takes passion, and talent, but also dedication, and work.
Taylor Swift will still be making music, and will still be famous decades down the road, because this is her job, and she treats it like one. And it’s a job she is succeeding at, and she is using her privilege to make other peoples lives better without calling attention to it. Almost any other celebrity would have pointed out or announced that they made a donation to a food bank at a stop along their tour. Instead, the only headline about it I saw was from the organization who received the donation.
So I say again: Taylor Swift should not have to make herself smaller to satisfy other people. Other people should instead see her as inspiration, or even a challenge, and step the fuck up instead of trying to tear her down.
I thought we had settled this discussion over a decade ago, when some asshat interrupted her acceptance speech for an award he, personally, thought someone else deserved. Clearly history does repeat.
Maybe that’s why it’s pissing me off so much.

As a poc I would like to say that not every poc swiftie has internalised racism and worships whiteness. A lot of them just get swept up in the cult.
I'm brown and I became a casual listener during covid. (Started disliking her once she started dating matty.) I've never been a swiftie because I don't think celebs should be put on a pedestal.
But I did feel how easy it was to be pulled into the "swift-lore". Idk how to explain it. But once you're in those spaces you immediatly get bombarded with Taylor's lifestory and all the "good" things about her. It really is like a cult and before you know it you're brainwashed into it. But that still doesn't mean you worship whiteness.
hm.
i’ve heard this argument before but unfortunately the people arguing this to me have all shown me they still do have deep internalized racism and/or clearly fetishize white people. a lot of black/latinx swifties i know who love her music also feel “rejected” by their communities in some way and they find comfort in her music i think because of it. from what ive learned abt east/south asian swifties its their desire to position themselves as close to whiteness as possible.
lowkey being swept up in the swift cult is being radicalized to hate anyone who “hates” taylor, and this usually means they target ppl who rightfully critique taylor, and this is usually ends up being p/woc who call her out for her racism. i do not see white tiktokers who critique taylor get harassed half as much as p/woc do.
i literally saw one of my former mutuals, a black swiftie, continue to stan and defend taylor’s 1830 lyric. any poc swiftie who continues to defend taylor racist incident after racist incident shows their internalized racism whether they believe they have it or not.
like at a certain point as a poc swiftie you have to choose between self respect and your racial allyship or to continue stanning that woman (esp within the past year). idgaf if you put #blm in your bio in 2020, if youre poc and kept stanning her after everything with matty healy do not call yourself an ally to any black woman ever again.
i know you said youre not a swiftie, which good for you, but when you talk about whiteness, you should really consider yourself the exception on this one. because literally every other poc swiftie in my experience has proven to be otherwise

matching my favourite songs to ted lasso characters <3
(these are just who i could think of at the moment)
jamie:
“if i get too close and i’m not how you hoped, forgive my northern attitude. i was raised out in the cold”
this is jamie’s song!! i feel like this is jamie at the beginning of his redemption where he still slips up and makes mistakes. he’s not exactly how people want him to be but he’s trying his best to unlearn how his dad raised him. he’s trying to be a good person. so many noah kahan songs could fit jamie so well. it was between this and homesick
roy:
“lord what will become of me, once i’ve lost my novelty?”
i have so many thoughts about roy and this song! the whole theme of not knowing who you are once you’re not the shiny new thing is SO roy! i feel like this is s1 roy where he’s realising that he’s at the end of his career as a player and that he’s not what he used to be. the bridge is also very fitting to him and jamie. the whole thing of the younger star learning from the older one and all the bittersweet feelings. i could literally write an essay on this song and roy.
keeley:
“i’m on a one way trip to take over the world”
this song is so keeley coded!! i feel like it captures her personality and confidence so so well!! to me, this is mostly season 3 keeley! shes an independent business woman who is taking over the world!! i feel like it also represents how her character has developed over the seasons. she’s introduced as a love interest (you’re just a boy) and becomes a powerful independent career woman (and im kinda the man). even though romance has always been part of her character, it never takes away from her personal story. i love her and this song sm!
sam:
“so make the friendship bracelets, take the moment and taste it”
this song is so sam! when he joined the team, he truly was on his own! he moved to a new country alone when he was only 20 (i believe?). i feel like this song captures how he has such a bright future ahead of him and everything he has already achieved! i also love the friendship bracelet line in relation to sam! a big part of sam’s character is his kindness and i feel like this line represents that and how he is the heart of the team! sam obisanya, i love you sm!!
rebecca:
“i’m so sick of running as fast as i can, wonder if i’d get there quicker if i was a man”
this song IS rebecca’s experiences! she has faced so much misogyny from the people around her (rupert, the media, other club owners) but she has risen above it and shown that she is the confident boss ass bitch we all know!! she is underestimated by the men at the akufo league meeting but SHE is the one who changes their minds! i think this could also be applied to how we see the media treat her in season 1 and how she is written about compared to rupert. i think this song describes the struggles rebecca faces as a female business owner as well as how she is treated by the media (especially in s1)
colin:
“always an angel, never a god”
colin would cry if he heard this song. he is so under appreciated by the team and we see that he struggled a lot with his confidence and being compared to the other players. i think this really relates to the scene in s2 where nate insults him and tells him that he’ll never be as good as the other players. the whole theme of this song is comparing yourself to others and feeling like you’re good, but never good enough. i feel like that’s a big part of colin’s story and how he is working through those feelings and gaining more confidence in his ability. i really hope we see more of him in s4!
if you made it to the end of this ramble, thank you so much for reading!! ive combined my two favourite things, music and ted lasso <3

The Era Tour: 06. Act IV: reputation
Tumblr media
Pairings: Colin Bridgerton + Penelope Featherington, Anthony + Kate Bridgerton
Polin Masterlist | Series Masterlist
Tumblr media
Colin watched as Penelope's favourite artist disappeared from the stage. He didn't know what 'era' was coming next - just watched Penelope from the row above. He watched as she swapped places with Gregory - meaning she was standing next to two fellow Swifties. He was pretty sure that is what Penelope calls herself.
The sound of heels on the floor as well as the hissing of a snake nearly made the entire stadium erupt in screams.
Gregory must have said something to Pen because she leaned over. "Watch the entire stadium go absolutely feral!"
And feral did they go!
Tumblr media
Colin could only watch in shock over Penelope as she pulled out body rolls and some kind of sideways hip thrust (somewhat similar to the moves Taylor Swift is producing).
"Knew he was a killer the first time that I saw him, wonder how many girls he had loved and left haunted. But if he's a ghost, then I can be a phantom, holdin' him for ransom," the opening lyrics weren't as eye-opening as the pre-chorus and chorus were for dear Colin.
"I-I-I see how this is gon' go. Touch me and you'll never be alone, I-Island breeze and lights down low, no one has to know. In the middle of the night, in my dreams. You should see the things we do, baby (mmm). In the middle of the night, in my dreams, I know I'm gonna be with you. So I'll take my time, are you ready for it?"
It made Colin look at Penelope with a mix of awe, shock and even wonder. He shouldn't be pinning after his little sister's best friend like he is. But sometimes the heart wants what it wants.
Tumblr media
Colin had heard rumours of chants at the concert. Turns out, this was one of them.
"This ain't for the best. My reputation's never been worse, so. You must like me for me. We can't make any promises, now can we, babe? But you can make me a drink!"
Which was quickly followed by "1, 2, 3! Let's go, bitch!"
The second chorus made Colin wonder who Penelope had been seeing, may possibly be seeing. She hasn't said anything to him, the often shared stories. If Penelope hadn't told me, Eloise would have (he remembered when Eloise had bragged about Penelope's date to their secondary school prom).
"Third floor on the West Side, me and you. Handsome, you're a mansion with a view. Do the girls back home touch you like I do?" Was sung, which made Penelope look over at the two other Swifties, and shook her head - then giggled when she realised that Taylor Swift was doing the exact same thing. "Long night with your hands up in my hair," Penelope ran her fingers through her hair. "Echoes of your footsteps on the stairs. Stay here, honey, I don't want to share. 'Cause I like you."
It was going to bug Colin, who the hell Penelope was seeing. Whoever it was, didn't deserve her. What if you're good enough for Penelope? A voice said in the back of Colin's brain.
Did he? Could he dem himself 'good enough' for Penelope?
The next song to play was Don't Blame Me, which as Colin listened to it - sounded very gospel-like. Colin watched as Penelope sang along at the top of her lungs, so much so because he was so close, he could only just hear her over the sound of the speakers.
"I've been breakin' hearts a long time, and, toyin' with them older guys. Just playthings for me to use. Something happened for the first time, in the darkest little paradise, shakin', pacin', I just need you," Colin couldn't believe the dance moves Penelope was pulling out, he looked over at Kate (who wasn't paying attention to Penelope), then he looked over at Eloise and his mother (neither were paying attention to Penelope either). "For you, I would cross the line. I would waste my time, I would lose my mind. They say she's gone too far this time."
Then the song hit its pinnacle. Heavily leaning into the gospel sound. "Oh, Lord, save me, my drug is my baby. I'll be using for the rest of my life," Taylor Swift's backup singers sang, as she looked down the stage and into the camera.
"Using for the rest of my life, oh!" She hit a very high note, then sang the higher notes as both the backing track and her backup singers sang the main track.
"Don't blame me. Don't blame me. Don't blame me for what you made me do," the third sentence made the fans in the stadium freak out. "Don't blame me. Don't blame me. Don't blame me for what. You. Made. Me. Do!"
The gospel sound of Don't Blame Me changed into the dark fantasy sound of Look What You Made Me Do.
"I don't like your little games, don't like your tilted stage. The role you made me play of the fool, no, I don't like you," Colin had watched as Penelope and the two Swifties exchanged bracelets much like she did with the little girl in front of her. "I don't like your perfect crime, how you laugh when you lie. You said the gun was mine, isn't cool, no, I don't like you. Oh!"
"But I got smarter, I got harder in the nick of time. Honey, I rose up from the dead, I do it all the time. I got a list of names, and yours is in red, underlined. I check it once, then I check it twice, oh!"
She walked down the stage very quickly, during the bridge. "I'm sorry. But the old Taylor can't come to the phone right now. Why? Oh, 'cause she's dead!" She jumped and landed on her shins then her knees
"Look what you made me do. Look what you just made me do. Look what you just made me do."
As soon as she disappeared into the stage, the reputation era was over.

re gypsy rose: being center of attention is all she knows. i can't blame her for being attention seeking, because that's her whole damn life. she has always gotten attention from doctors, from people, from news, ever since she was a child. first she was the sick child and now she is the woman who was forced to fake being sick child who killed her mother, she lost the opportunity to normal life and normal behavior long, long ago. i can't blame her for going to the news or talking about herself, how can she know anything else?
thats also a really good point and theres probably at least some truth to that but idk if i agree that shes attention seeking in that way. like i dont personally think she craves fame or whatever i just think shes like… a normal girl i guess. like yeah she got onto social media right away, but tbh she would most likely do that even if she was completely unknown bc most women her age use social media and ofc she would want to participate and post cute instagram photos with her husband and pretty selfies etc bc why not? its what everyone does and shes finally free to take part in normal life.
and the reason shes even doing these press tours is to promote her docuseries which is where she for once gets to speak out fully and tell her story in her own words and be truly heard. she knows her story has been told by others, she knows about The act and the documentaries and how viral her story went while she was away, and now she wants to take her story back and tell it herself which is only fair and id probably do the same if i was her
and yeah she wants to meet taylor swift. well duh what taylor swift fan would not want to meet taylor swift? shes just sharing her dreams. shes always been a dreamer like that, and honestly if she gets the chance to actually meet her fave singer ofc she will take it. anyone would lol.
but anyway, she is used to having the spotlight on her just like u said but i guess rn thats almost a blessing in disguise in a way since that means she kinda knows how to handle it better than most. like id be overwhelmed as fuck in her situation but thats bc ive always been a private normal person who has never been in the public eye but shes sorta.. accustomed to it which is sad bc as we all know she never should have been bc she should never have been in that horrible situation in the first place but at least now that can be an advantage for her during the media hype. shes being smart with it and she wants to use it to help others and be an advocate which i think she will have lots of success in and do lots of good in the future.
i guess what im trying to say is that in my opinion shes not seeking the attention, the attention is already on her and shes just embracing it and making the best of it in order to do something good and to finally have her voice heard for the first time in her life. when u have gone through abuse and have had to keep quiet about it and keep it inside ur whole life ur gonna have that urge to scream it out and let the whole world know whats been done to u and its healing and freeing and empowering to do so when ur finally safe and ready to. she needs to be heard and seen for once and she deserves it bc everyone deserves that. its very human

nothing better to do right now so i went to youtube and subjected myself to a few chappell roan songs and oh ok . before even hearing anything the thumbnail of this lyric video pissed me off right away to be honest like can we just retire the ironic comic sans smiley face quirky girl "whimsical" aesthetic it's so irritating. its the kind of graphic design that all the vaguely "quirky" women's clothing brands are using right now. like im getting koi footwear vibes. do you know what i mean.
Tumblr media
anyway. ill be honest i went into this with a closed mind fully prepared to hate but like yeah it's just mid isn't it. like she's a step up from taylor swift obviously but it's still so boring.
at the clothes store i work at they have this presumably company specific playlist that's like, the usual bad pop songs. but kind of curated in a way that's old people friendly because it's that kind of store? and without any of the actual famous artists like t swift or ed sheeran like it's all just bland pop songs ive never heard in my life but sound like exactly as you expect them to and seem to have been created in a music-for-clothes-stores-factory? it's all really bad anyway. and they literally never change this playlist btw. it's been the same thing for the 2+ months ive been here so there are many songs on it which are beginning to piss me off so bad.
and i literally have no idea who any of the artists are so i literally just know them as like "that one with the intro which genuinely sounds like it could be from an insurance advert" ; "that cheesy "rock" one which sounds like charity shop music" ; "the one with lyrics so bad they make me actively loose braincells" etc. and i have to say that ms roan's music really would not sound out of place on this playlist. fractionally so maybe but only fractionally. and she would still piss me the fuck off after hearing her every single shift. sorry im not even ranting about chappell roan anymore this is now just a vent post about the shite music they play at my job. it's making me insane. like id almost prefer if they played the actual charts or the actual radio because then id actually know some of the artists. and i could put a name and a face to my hatred. anyway. love and light

Hi im very depressed today so youre all getting my rant
You know for people who claim that taylor swift is mid at best yall seem to like complaining about her a lot. And trust me i have my criticisms of her and dont disagree that her supposedly progressive politics are watered down and weak and she doesnt put her money where her mouth is, but shes also not actively using her platform to cause harm like a lot of people are. (Jason aldean for example, largely popular country musician, recently released a song that alludes to lynching protestors and i saw stuff about that for like. A day) I think people who hail her as a beacon of progress are annoying and out of touch too but for people who claim not to give a shit about her i just dont get why you care so much when theres so many other things to talk about. It just seems like every other post i see on here is about how people cant stand her and like. Thats fine? Youre allowed to not like popular things this is very much the website for that. But its so constant. I dont see any other mediocre white musicians getting as much flak as she does because people rightfully dont give a shit. Like i do not understand the hype for say, Ariana Grande. And sure ive seen criticisms of her for appropriating black and latino fashion and looks which is absolutely true and should be discussed. But nowhere near at the volume i see it for taylor swift. And most stuff isnt even legitimate criticisms its just people saying how bland they find her music and like. Okay?
(I do personally believe a lot of those takes probably come from people whove only heard her admittedly boring sanitized and cringey radio hits and never delved into her lesser known stuff which is in my opinion far better but i digress)
Also im sorry but finding any opportunity to talk about how much you hate her is just as much of an obsession as those of us who take any chance we can to gush about her. And this isnt directed at anyone in particular its just wack to me how polarizing this woman is when shes Literally Just Some Dude. If shes so boring then why are you still talking about her. You dont have to. If there are people in your life literally shoving taylor swift down your throat take that up with them personally. I know shes hard to escape because yeah shes massively popular but so is. Idk. Harry Styles? And i know nothing about the man. Because i just ignore things i dont give a shit about and ive grown up past my 13 year-old selfs take of “everything thats popular is stupid and im very cool for not liking it”
All this is to say i wish everyone else were just. Normal. About taylor swift- swifties included- so i could be insane about her in peace

no cos the daily anon is so cute i get so happy to see her little life update each time <3
also im so happy for you i hope you have the new release on repeat, how have you been?
i cleaned my room today and then took such a long bath and then sprayed scents and incense sticks and perfect lighting and music i never knew this could be so therapeutic i feel so vibey after ages!!
also you have a pisces moon that's is literally so cute! ive always thought that moon compatibility is better than the sun for some reason oh and the sun is in pisces already?!

Yes Daily Anon is literally the cutest, and I love hearing from them every day. They could just tell me what they had for lunch and it would still be important information to me. And Yes, I listened to it at least like six times this morning then had to listen to other Lana songs cause I over play songs all the time.
And oh my gosh that is literally the best kind of therapy like you just feel so good after cleaning and having a nice long shower and everything is just a vibe and smells good. It literally does wonders, best thing for the end of the week.
I've been fine, I've been watching a lot of hauls. And a lot of girls suggest getting clothes from the kids section. Now I'm plus size and you'd think that's an unhelpful tip. but when Justice stores were in the mall they had plus sizes for tweens and it actually fit me I bought a lot of stuff from Justice. Which leads me to believe if I just look through the kids section for the juniors plus the biggest size might fit me if it's just tops. Cause when my friend and I were at target I said it's not fair kids get the cutest stuff. But I might just have a look next time. In the words of a wise woman on TikTok named Samyra "if you look like you could fit it bitch you better go and get it"
Yes it's Pisces season. Also Jungwoo day! Yes, I literally just heard today your moon sign is your aura, who you project out into the world. I'm a Leo Sun my friends have said if they didn't know they'd think I was a water sign . But my Mercury and Venus are in Cancer too. So it makes sense. I dated a guy like 2 days older than me I checked and our birth charts are almost identical. And we were scarily similar even to being overtly touchy and he also liked Lana Del Rey and Taylor Swift like it was so eerie. Even a YouTuber Amber Scholl we're like 8 days apart and oh my gosh she's so similar to me. even the having too much energy and running around part. It also leads me to be a little skeptical of Jisung. There's three guys I dated born around the exact same time as him. And only one was good. The other two, honestly the one who looks like Doyoung just said really really fucking weird things. The other, I can't exactly say what happened but it definitely scarred me. also not going younger than 22 ever again. I thought 20\21 was okay it's not. I literally am just like Mark I just ramble and go off topic every five seconds I'm sorry
