#Swiftness sure didn’t

Man if they genuinely think this album was good writing then there’s no hope for swifties

I saw someone say they think the fact that there actually weren’t that many songs on ttpd about Joe (as far as we know) is actually a sign of respect for him and I couldn’t agree more. The few songs that are most likely about him aren’t speaking poorly on his character they’re just heartbreaking, and the most vengeful songs on the album are likely about Matty. I feel like so many people went into this album expecting to hate Joe after but instead we just learned what we always knew - Joe was a generally good guy and Matty Healy sucks.

taylor swift wrote all the young dudes, no one believed it was really her, and then she wrote the great war to prove them wrong.

Okay okay so in season 1 Willy’s trying to be serious and Glenn blindsides him with “deez nuts” and so all I can picture is in season 2 is Willy scheming going “when I see this kid I’m gonna hit him with a yo momma joke. I’m gonna blindside him so hard his granddad feels it in hell.”

And then he does it and Taylor responds entirely seriously. He pulls simultaneously the most Glenn move (by throwing Willy off his game) and the least Glenn move (by approaching a comedic situation with complete seriousness).

Taylor pulls an anti-Glenn…and what is that but a Jodie?

since today seems to be the day for tswift hot takes MY taylor swift hot take is that i really don’t think celebrities/pop stars need to be politically active or outspoken beyond using their platforms responsibly. it’s great if they choose to, but it is by no means a profession i would expect to have any authority on political issues and the growing demand for this change in the last decade is to me a bit silly because why are we going to actors from CW shows for updates on geopolitics?

that said! when taylor swift decided to release an entire documentary about her decision to use her voice for political change and titled it MISS AMERICANA of all things, she set a different standard for herself that she clearly wasn’t ready to meet. it’s very fair to expect taylor to make posts on issues like black lives matter and the like (i mention blm specifically bc her silence during the 2020 protests was particularly noticeable), when she frames herself as a committed agent of change.

now, i don’t think she’s a malicious person, but she seems to lack a certain self awareness, particularly when it comes to political issues. because i think her decision to tell people to vote blue was — to her — a monumental one. i am sure it felt huge. but when it’s less than what most celebrities do at a bare minimum, to portray that decision as her entry into activism only to remain largely as apolitical as she has been before opened her up to a lot of well-deserved criticism.

and that brings me to my final point in that i think taylor swift, as someone who is politically unsavvy, has trouble understanding issues in ways that don’t affect her directly. in her song about gay rights, you need to calm down, she spends the first half of the song talking about haters coming at her on the internet, and then later compares that to rampant homophobia. tswift is someone who has very clearly faced a lot of misogynistic narratives throughout her career, but even the misogyny tswift experiences is very different than the misogyny ur average white woman in america experiences, and you can tell when she talks about it. her critiques of sexism almost entirely have to do with reputation, media commentary, and slut-shaming. non-famous women experience that, of course, but things like workplace discrimination, sexual harassment culture, the wage gap, etc. are not things she talks about. she notices how she herself is treated, but struggles pivoting that perspective to the average woman.

tldr: i think a lack of self awareness truly makes tswift oblivious to where this criticism about her apolitical behavior is coming from, and that’s why her documentary was, in many ways, a tone deaf, foolish move.

You ever lie awake at night thinking about the fact that the last year we didn’t get any new material from Taylor was 2016?

In seven years she has given us ~121* new songs, with five more on the way this year.

Like that’s actually insane. And the more insane part is that with clear work being done on TS11 and two more re-records left it doesn’t seem like another gap year is really in sight.

men never had to live thru middle school 2016 listening to all ur male peers and acquaintances and friends start talking about how they hope every woman in power gets beheaded and how they think women are inherently lesser and calling women “bitches” on the reg and saying how they’d rape and murder Hillary if they could (“leave her out back still full of cum dissected and shit”) and claiming it would be “deserved”.

and it shows.

Like when did trying to get merch get this bad? I don’t remember it being like this at the start of the Midnights era, I feel like something shifted between the announcement of the Eras Tour and the release of Speak Now (Taylor’s Version).
