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.
ttpd and red both being messy and drawn out but quintessential displays of taylor’s penmanship too powerful for the world to understand i see the vision
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
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
Sorry I hate the narrative that being a Swiftie is a curse or just something that happened. I love loving Taylor Swift and I actively choose to listen to her music and connect with people in the fandom because it makes me happy.
Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you.
also imagine thanking a man for being so horrible that he’s the reason she felt all these awful emotions that turned into these songs like as great as the album is and probably my fav of hers u will never catch me thanking an emotionally abusive man who has a pattern of treating women like shit
yeah like i'm sorry but ttpd is my favorite album of all time and it's not because of the men who caused her to feel those things (they can rot in hell) it's because SHE distilled core womanhood musically in a way that spoke to my soul
it's just that when i love something, i love it loud and i love it long. i've never figured out the halfway of it - when i hold something, i let it scar me.
a t.s. blog • love ttpd with my whole heart • obsessed with dear reader
