i love how it was a running joke in the fandom to just be like “new album at midnight!!” every time taylor did anything and then the one time we weren’t even thinking about it taylor was literally just like ts8 at midnight

when taylor said “you know the greatest films of all time were never made” she was talking about the getaway car and cruel summer music videos

They are fictional characters but you’re crazy if you don’t think there’s a bit of personal expression in the struggles / characteristics she chooses to showcase in them.

my favorite part of this album is that taylor is all over it, even when she isn’t the main character. the way she blurs fact and fiction is brilliant and so is her storytelling but it’s extremely confessional in that it’s about her even when it isn’t. she has to pull these storylines from somewhere - in august and betty we see stuff that calls back to her very old work, since that’s her experience of being a teenager; in illicit affairs we see her drawing on relationships that have been kept secret and her fears of being cheated on based on her past; in cardigan she offers direct parallels to feeling loved and healed whole by another person like on reputation, even though the person in the song feeling those things isn’t her. it’s brilliant.
