Why do Taylor Swift music videos just hit different? Like sometimes she’s a silent movie damsel, a goddamn princess or a physical manifestation of toxic relationships that lives in a fairytale mansion, but it’s all just ✨vibes✨

TAYLOR SWIFT AND GIRL IN RED?!?!?! EMPTYING MY PARENTS BANK ACCOUNT AS WE SPEAK!!!!
The Tortured Poets Department is the most Taylor Swift album she’s ever put out. It’s the culmination of everything she’s ever done. It’s the teenage petulance of debut. It’s the hope and naïveté of fearless. It’s the lack of filter of speak now. It’s the emotional rollercoaster of red. It’s the pride of 1989. It’s the angst and the rebirth of reputation. It’s the hopeless romanticism of lover. It’s the storytelling and literary allusions of folklore and evermore. It’s the dark reminiscence of midnights. Which is why I think it’s resonating more with those who have been here the whole time and can see the echoes of each era in this album.
No but you know the bridge from Seven that goes
‘ And I've been meaning to tell you I think your house is haunted Your dad is always mad and that must be why And I think you should come live with me And we can be pirates Then you won't have to cry Or hide in the closet And just like a folk song Our love will be passed on ‘
And I’ve never realized it but this feels like that one gay childhood love story.
Like ‘or hide in the closet’? The CLosET? I kept thinking it was a literal closet but I don’t think it is anymore?
So yeah, Seven is back to being my favorite song from Folklore.
Its November, but in my heart is a Christmas tree farm, and the Christmas fics are already coming up, and all I want is to put up the Christmas tree BUT ITS NOVEMBER
So is anyone else thinking about how the state of grace (taylor's version) lyric video looks like the hex?
Just me?
Stranger Things As Songs From Speak Now (Taylor's Version)
This is my magnum opus. Should I do 1989?
Castles Crumbling - Steve Harrington
"Once, I had an empire in a golden age I was held up so high, I used to be great They used to cheer when they saw my face Now, I fear I have fallen from grace
And I feel like my castle's crumbling down And I watch all my bridges burn to the ground And you don't want to know me I will just let you down You don't wanna know me now"
The first time I heard Castles Crumbling I immediately thought of “King Steve” and Steve’s quiet identity crisis. Steve has undergone this simultaneously tragic and liberating fall from grace. He constantly wants to show people that he’s good and valuable despite him not claiming the title he once had. He’s burned bridges with Tommy and Carol and everyone from the part of his life he’s no longer proud of. While personally he may be fulfilled with his new life he is aware that he is perceived as a failure. He had the entire world gift wrapped for him and still found a way to tear it all down.
Nancy Wheeler & Jonathan Byers - Mine
"Do you remember, we were sittin' there by the water? You put your arm around me for the first time You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter You are the best thing that's ever been mine
Flash forward, and we're takin' on the world together And there's a drawer of my things at your place You learn my secrets and you figure out why I'm guarded You say we'll never make my parents' mistakes"
Mine is their song! It’s Nancy and Jonathan at their best. Especially in the early seasons both of them are very emotionally guarded but learn to open up to each other. In season 1 they both talk about not wanting to become their parents, wanting to stop the cycle of resentment and conventionality. Their relationship is almost defined by hardship, growing more intimate and personal the more they take on together. In their relationship it's them against the world especially because they are an unconventional pairing. They both have insecurities and baggage but ultimately they are there for each other and are better people for it (You can pry Jancy out my cold, dead hands).
Max Mayfield & Lucas Sinclair - Last Kiss
"I still remember the look on your face Lit through the darkness at 1:58 The words that you whispered for just us to know You told me you loved me So why did you go away?"
"Because I love your handshake, meeting my father I love how you walk with your hands in your pockets How you'd kiss me when I was in the middle of saying something There's not a day I don't miss those rude interruptions
And I'll go Sit on the floor wearing your clothes All that I know is I don't know How to be something you miss
I never thought we'd have a last kiss I never imagined we'd end like this Your name, forever the name on my lips
So I'll watch your life in pictures like I used to watch you sleep And I feel you forget me like I used to feel you breathe And I'll keep up with our old friends just to ask them how you are Hope it's nice where you are"
This song can be read as two sided but I primarily see it from Lucas’ perspective, particularly in the time of his and Max’s breakup. This song is about being crushed by the sudden end of relationship while still having allegiance to the person that left. Lucas is very compassionate and still worried about Max ever after their breakup. He didn’t care if she ever was with him again, only that she was safe and happy again. On Max’s side it crushes her to keep the distance between them and she’s haunted by the memories of their love and the sheer fact that Lucas is a good person who still loves her. They both wonder how much of the others life they missed and if things could’ve been different.
Nancy Wheeler & Steve Harrington - Back to December
"So this is me swallowin' my pride Standin' in front of you sayin' I'm sorry for that night And I go back to December all the time It turns out freedom ain't nothin' but missin' you Wishin' I'd realized what I had when you were mine I'd go back to December, turn around and make it alright I go back to December all the time"
"And then the cold came, the dark days When fear crept into my mind You gave me all your love and all I gave you was goodbye."
While I am not a fan of the weird Stancy revival plot in season 4, this song really captures Steve's feelings towards Nancy. He deeply regrets the person he was when they were together and tells her that he didn't know what he had when he had it. She fundamentally changed him (which is why we should ALL be thanking Nancy for creating the Steve we know and love), and Steve wishes he could redo their relationship. The last line could also reflect Nancy's potential guilt about the way their relationship ended and her inability to reciprocate Steve's love because of her trauma and Barb's death. Also "I'm sorry for that night" is the night of the Halloween party. I don't make the rules. (Also Also Steve and Nancy dated for A YEAR that is so unfathomable to me :I)
El Hopper & Mike Wheeler & Will Byers - Superman
"I wonder if he knows how much that I miss him I hang on every word that you say And you smile and say, "How are you?" I'll say, "Just fine" I always forget to tell you I love you, I love you forever"
"I watch superman fly away You've got a busy day today Go save the world, I'll be around And I watch superman fly away Come back, I'll be with you someday I'll be right here on the ground When you come back down"
Superman can be interpreted from three different perspectives. Mike to El, El to Mike, and Will to Mike. In season 4 Mike reaffirms his love for El by saying that she is his superhero. Her strength is the thing that he admires most about her and he is constantly in awe at her power. The line “I’ve loved you from the very first day” parallels Mike saying that he loved her from the moment he saw her. He even voices his insecurities about her leaving him behind once she realizes that he’s not anything special.
El has the complete opposite perspective, seeing herself as the unworthy one. Because Mike is the first person who ever extended kindness to El, she believes that he is the best person alive and is incredibly lucky to have him. El and Mike see the other as their Superman.
From Will’s perspective Mike is his Superman. He is the leader, the heart, the paladin, and the great hero. He idolizes Mike in way which is why is rejection hurts so much. He wishes the cards were from Mike. That Mike knew how much Will reveres him. In his case, “I’ve loved you from the very first day” could be about the first day he and Mike met in kindergarten.
Will Byers & Mike Wheeler - Foolish One
"Foolish one Stop checkin' your mailbox for confessions of love That ain't never gonna come You will take the long way, you will take the long way down Foolish one Stop checkin' your mailbox for confessions of love That ain't never gonna come You will learn the hard way instead of just walkin' out
Now I'm slidin' down the wall with my head in my hands Sayin', "How could I not see the signs?" Oh, you haven't written me or called But goodbye screamin' in the silence And the voices in my head are tellin' me why"
The accuracy of this one hurts. I think the lyrics are self explanatory but the song reflects the anguish Will feels over Mike’s friendship and love slipping away.
Joyce Byers & Jim Hopper - Timeless
"I would've read your love letters every single night And prayed to God you'd be comin' home all right And you would've been fine We would have been timeless 'Cause I believe that we were supposed to find this So, even in a different life, you still would've been mine We would've been timeless"
"In a crowded room a few short years ago And sometimes there's no proof, you just know You're always gonna be mine We're gonna be I'm gonna love you when our hair is turnin' gray We'll have a cardboard box of photos of the life we've madeAnd you'll say, 'Oh my, we really were timeless'"
Timeless is an affirmation that no matter how many times they are separated and torn apart, Joyce and Hopper will find each other. It's also about them wanting to stop dealing with interdimensional threats to their families and have a normal life together and live to see the other get old.
"𝑳𝒂𝒅𝒊𝒆𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒍𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒏, 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒑𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒅?"

taylor's just utmost commitment to creating chaos is incredible truly no notes go the fuck off feed our insanity babe we're all mad here fr
"You wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me." I want this on my tombstone.
I can't deal with this. Fuck it. Give me time to processsss. Who's afraid of little old me, well right now I am
Taylor Swift should be studied. Here's a women who takes each and every one of her emotions, mistakes, triumphs and all other parts of her and makes music out of it, creating something beautiful out of her sorrows. And the whole world wait with baited breath to listen to what a women has to say. From being called over emotional and sentimental to emotionally listening to a album at 3am at the same time as the rest of the world, for once being proud to be vulnerable, connecting with millions of women and their experiences. Becoming one through music. It's so beautiful.
Poetry appeals to our base emotions and makes us week , fuck it Plato it only made us stronger. I don't know what I am writing but I am grateful for this even admist all the controversy surrounding her.
I LOVE THIS SONG WITH ALL MY HEART🩷🩷🩷
mohamed has been forced to re-verify his campaign through gofundme because his old campaign run by a scammer was taken down. this process would be straightforward if gofundme had active phone lines, but instead he is forced to wait for weeks and weeks without access to his funds because gfm’s business model does not function except to shield them from culpability in the event that someone is killed. if you have read my posts in the past months and have considered donating, please consider sending any size donation to this cashapp profile:
this belongs to the organizer of mohamed’s fundraiser and i can personally vouch for 100% of these funds going directly to him (and without gfm taking a sleazy cut)! this is the lifeline for him and his children.
mohamed’s wife has been hospitalized indefinitely. his mental health is not well. please help my friend.

I had to write an assignment for my english class about a song that explores any aspect of a romantic relationship that you've experienced. It was only a paragraph but i'm still really proud of it and decided to post it. The song I chose was the prophecy by taylor swift. a song very dear to me.
Anyways. Here it is;
I sat with myself about what song best described my experience. I started going down a list of songs from all the different artists I listen to. From The 1975 to Lorde to Lana Del Rey but ultimately settled on the queen of love songs herself. Taylor Swift. As a fan of her it was a hard choice but as a lover of her newest album, The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology, The prophecy was the right choice. Being a melodramatic Twenty-One-year-old hopeless romantic I often feel as though I’m going to be alone forever, a truly fearful fate. So, when I listened to the song for the first time I related to Swift’s feelings of hopelessness portrayed through her lyricism. The feeling of hopelessness one only feels when the presumed love of their life slips through their fingers. I am not the only one, The prophecy having 183,309,275 plays on Spotify alone the fans also resonated with the sad ballad. Even outside of her regular listeners people are seeing how much weight her words have. Swift is getting young girls through their girlhood since her debut in 2006 through her lyrics and haven’t stopped since. Her lyrics are truly more than just lyrics; It’s poetry and All’s fair in love and poetry.
I ended up removing a quote I used from an article I used around the seventh sentence just because it's from a local college to me.
My favorite thing about question..? is that taylor singing about what she would say to karli's little gay husband
"Did you every have someone kiss you in a crowded room?" Kiss gate. the 1975 concert. The Matty Healy relationship was to point back to Karli and kiss gate and you are in love. she's trying to scream hey, look at us, this is the lead singer of the band karli and I went to see when we kissed. That why matty had said he wasn't writing songs about taylor, cause it wasn't real, it was a hair pin dropped right on the doorstep of kissgate.
"Do you wish you could still touch ...her?" the dots infer that there was a pause, a secret code between beards
"When (he) says it's too much" whoever was Josh's gay lover (If he had one) felt it to be too much to sneak around, "Did you leave (his) house in the middle of the night?"
"Caught in politics and gender-rolls" exactly what it sounds like. karli and josh had to beard considering how close they are to the trumps.. a known homophobic. they had to keep the fantasy of gender-rolls up
"Did you wish you put up more of a fight?" He tried to fight the gender-rolls and politics. To be openly gay. but the fight wasn't fruitful, he got pushed into the ( very glass) closet
"And what's that, that I heard, that your still with her. That's nice, i'm sure that's what's suitable and right" After all those years they're still bearding. they're still wrapped up in gender-rolls and politics
which, of course, could mean nothing but can I ask you a question...?
we as a society dont talk about "I did a number on you, baby, whos counfing. who's counting. 1,2,3" enough and it feels like a cime
taylor didn't write, "romance is not dead if you keep it just yours" and "I'll save all my romanticism for my inner life" for you to take any of her highly publicised relationships seriously. .Like do we really think tay would let a real relationship be THIS public. she never did before, so why would she start now?
brand new full throttle…. hand on the throttle, thought i caught lightning in a bottle
I was listening to loml and I started thinking about jemily (the ship name of two female fbi agents, Emily and jj, on criminal minds). Jj left Emily when jj thought she was in love with her new husband, Jj ends up pregnant and now feels like she has to stay in the relationship. and in my mind it's the song Emily would associate with Jj.
It reminds me of Kaylor. Taylor is singing to Karli. she's the lost of Taylor's life.
In my mind, both Kaylor and Jemily found their way back together despite the husbands and kids.
i need her in a way thats so against christianity
