i'm so fascinated by the "just ken." in the context of the tagline (she's everything, he's just ken) it makes it sound like ken is just an accessory to barbie and is nothing without her, but in the actual movie in the speech barbie gives, she turns the phrase on its head. ken isn't an accessory to barbie, he isn't the attention barbie gives him, he's just ken. and that's not even mentioning the "she's everything" part of the tagline and how it goes with gloria's speech of women having to fulfill the impossible task of fitting into every box and juggle conflicting expectations and roles just to be liked by society. the tagline represents opposite ends of a spectrum but by the end of the movie barbie and ken meet in the middle, where they're each allowed to be their own person independent of the expectations and insecurities they've been operating on. this movie, man

The line “slow motion double vision in a rose blush” is literally Taylor’s most poetic gorgeous line ever. Not only does it sound so lush, but it’s the perfect description of that moment when you’re walking by your crush and you two make eye contact for the briefest of moments- maybe one you even has to do a double take- and you’re seeing them through rose colored glasses because they are just so beautiful in that one moment
I took a deep breath and listened to the old brag of my heart. I am, I am, I am.
