Compilation Of Taylor’s Clean Speeches From The 1989 World Tour | Clean Speech Masterpost

evermore is such an insane album when you really think about it. like. love isn't forever. friendship isn't forever. trust isn't forever. family isn't forever. even a marriage isn't forever. but then she ends on evermore (song) and it's like: you know what else isn't forever? pain. suffering. heartache. she just flips the script of the entire album on the LAST SONG and cements the complexity of its core message in 5 minutes. and i'm supposed to be normal about that

I think people on here make judgements far too quickly on new art. let it sink in, let it breathe! not everything is immediately gonna tick all of your boxes, nor should it. that doesn’t mean there’s nothing worthwhile there

re: ts12 - i’m just so fucking excited to hear about her from a strong perspective. like yes, there will be emotional depth, but she’s overcome the shit she used to struggle with. her life is so full and complete in every way rn (not just travis). she’s not being bogged down and continuously thinking of her trauma because she can’t escape a melancholy partner who couldn’t pretend to care about her. she’s so herself, and has just completely grown into her power from eras and everything else, and it’ll be so fun to hear that come across in the record too.

anti-hero is the saddest song in the world set to a fuckass synth like. what do you mean you think you're the villain of every situation you're in and everyone will eventually leave you and even your best traits are just a front to spin more people into your web and you're convinced your own family will kill you for your money and—

sometimes i think about how terrifyingly easy it would’ve been for her to completely give up on herself and let all that grief and anger and uncertainty consume her. but she showed up for herself consistently, whether she wanted to or not, no matter how hard it was, and look where it got her in the end. i hope she’s damn proud of the way she kept going and pulled herself back out again

me too, so much

thinking about this comment and reply under amos' eras post

“we judged ttpd too quickly!” “ttpd was sooo underrated when it came out!!” “ttpd really grew on me” skill issue. i knew ttpd was a top tier album by 12:01 AM on april 19 2024 so don’t assume that your inability to recognize greatness is universal

Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you.
