the mark you saw on my collarbone, the rust that grew between telephones, the lips I used to call home -- so scarlet, it was maroon

Thinking about Taylor’s explanation about “peace” in the Long Pond Studio Sessions being, “are the things I can give you enough to make up for the things that I can’t?” And now we have Travis out here on main telling anyone who asks that he just ignores the noise which allows them to just live their lives as freely and as normally as they can which in turn makes them very happy and well. That’s got to be a mind blowing experience is all I’m saying.

The Bolter

I just leave

I just bolt

I leave when I'm bored

I leave when I'm tired

I leave when I'm done

I leave when it's wrong

but I stuck by you

through thick and thin

through their meaningful looks

through all sorts of weather

I wonder why I bothered

I was the bolter

but you wouldn't let me wonder

and then lost my number

Why hold onto me so tightly

To just leave?

Taylor swift: Folklore aesthetic

the other day I reblogged a post about you're so vain but it's been bothering me. the emotional core may be about one person but the details she gives in verses are all from specific people, therefore there are like 6 men who think the entire song is about them and that's what makes it funny.

The amount of times I hear Taylor Swift being played in Stadiums through the TV while I’m watching a game is staggering.

I have on the replay of the Patriots game from last weekend and I know Gillette Stadium loves her, but it still amazes me.

Usually it’s Shake it Off.

When you take into account the conceit of Midnights being things that have kept her up at night, Vigilante Shitis so fucking funny, because who among us has not seethed and festered over someone who’s done us wrong and concocted elaborate revenge scenarios in our minds to vent our anger??

It’s such a hilarious and ingenious way of illustrating the anger she felt towards 🛴 by crafting it as this Cell Block Tango-esque takedown full of espionage, spilled secrets and comeuppance. Do I think Taylor actually dreamed up a scenario in which she had him tailed and submitted proof of his cheating to his wife and spilled his secrets to the FBI? Probably not although you never know with her lol. But the story is SO rich when you think about it, and all the scenarios she sings about detail different parts of her anger and the things she wish she could have done in the real world.

You did some bad things, but I'm the worst of them Sometimes I wonder which one will be your last lie They say looks can kill and I might try -> Telling on him for the lies he spread about her (not just about the masters, but his likely involvement in the kimye shit)

I don't start it but I can tell you how it ends Don't get sad, get even So on the weekends I don't dress for friends Lately I've been dressing for revenge -> she didn’t start this war (eg snakegate, the fight over the masters) but she’s got the last word with her “name” being cleared years later and her rerecordings’ unprecedented success. Instead of wallowing in her grief over losing her work and her name at one point, she recalibrated and forged a path through the pain and worked night and day to reclaim her life.

Ladies always rise above Ladies know what people want Someone sweet and kind and fun The lady simply had enough -> she was sick of living up to everyone else’s standards for her and she upended her entire world to survive this mess. She was mad as hell and she wasn’t going to take it anymore.

It’s contrasted so chillingly with the imaginary (?) revenge fantasy, about selling him out to his ex wife and the FBI and the world for his white collar crimes (and drug use lol). Unfortunately it seems like that part didn’t come to pass irl lol, but the imagery of her telling on him to his wife and the cops and the world as payback for what he did to her is a stand-in for what really happened: his deceit was exposed, she was proven right re: the phone call and vindicated for her claims years before, he lost part of his power and status and reputation (and money with the resale of the masters), which probably cost him his marriage, while her career skyrocketed into the stratosphere even more furiously than had she not lost her masters he bought from right under her.

The song is saucy and campy and fun, but it does a really good job of crafting an allegory for the rage she felt about the situation and the payback she so desperately yearned for in the aftermath. And that is definitely something that would cause many a sleepless night indeed.
