fast food, fast fashion, songs being sped up, tv show seasons being only 8 episodes long, replacing youtube vlogs with fifteen second “day in the life” tiktoks, people in their 20s complaining about being too old...everything is so rushed, we have lost the art of lingering.

“i hate it here” is peak escapism and hearing her talk about how she lives in a garden no one else has access to in her mind (unlike the rest of her life) for most of the year is sooooo. made up scenarios and imagining living in the 1800s… it’s giving the lakes except she’s alone and she can’t actually leave. so much of the album is about feeling stuck and this one is about feeling stuck in herself.

thanK you aIMee is so funny cause a T-Party attendee confirmed that andrea and scott said a bully of taylor’s was named amy and if you look at a photo of her in high school she’s standing in front of a mural and one of the names on it is “aimee” and i absolutely love the idea that the song is about both her former and new bully because it’s so cunty if her to title a song detailing a person from her hometown that bullied and hurt her and forced her to get better become so big they can’t tear you down ONLY at the end to say “i don’t think you’ve changed much, and so i changed your name and any real defining clues” and spell out kim in the title to basically say fuck you to your old bully like “oh? you thought i still thought about you :/ tragic” and also say yo the new bitch “FUCK YOU!!!”

literally two birds one fucking stone and i love her so much for it. vicariously living through taylor with this song to heal

i LOVE it when taylor self-references the song she's writing. all those other girls, well they're beautiful but would they write a song for you? i stopped picking up and this song is to let you know why. the girl in the dress wrote you a song. i'll fight their doubt and give you faith with this song for you. i grabbed a pen and an old napkin and i wrote down our song <3

“I think some things I never say” is, to me, a very effective summation of a relationship where you hesitate to ask any real questions out of fear that it will all fall apart because deep down you know it’s built on shaky ground lol. “Who uses typewriters anyway?” is literally the tip of the iceberg of unasked questions when you’re gaslighting yourself into believing some random dude is your soulmate because he happened to show up and say he loves you right as you were prying yourself out of a soul crushing disappointment of a longterm relationship. Like…..

Did you guys know that down the block there’s an antique shop and something in my head said stop so I walked in? And that on the counter was a cardboard box and the sign said, “photos 25 cents each” black and white, saw a thirties bride and two lovers laughing on the porch of their first house? And that it’s the kinda love that you only find once in a lifetime, the kind you don’t put down?????
