all those other girls, well, they’re beautiful; but would they write a song for you?

I feel like The Tortured Poets Department is def going to feel like Midnights and Folklore's child who spent too much time under Evermore's influence.

Taylor Swift is now the most awarded artist in VMAs    HISTORY. The music industry, guys ✨️🤍

people saying shit like this gives the same vibes as the people insisting that taylor should just let the other pop girlies have a number 1 album because “she already has so many”

do people not understand that this is their job ?? why would they NOT want to be at the top of their fields ??

Barbara Walters said it best: Taylor Swift IS the music industry.

Whether I'm gonna flip you off or

Pull you into the closet

I haven't decided yet

But I'm gonna get you back

I hear the whispers in your eyes

I'll make you wanna think twice, you'll find

That you were never not mine

You're mine

Taylor could've easily created fictional characters in The Tortured Poets Department and said that the album is a story about them, even if it was the tale of her life intertwined with it. But she didn't.

Why? 'Cause one, she wanted this story to be out in the world, as it was made, without twisting the narrative. She was ready to face the scrutiny she'd presumably receive with her art and her story. But the second reason resonates louder when you think about it— it's a failed construct.

Fans and the media circus would still try hard and die trying to read between the lines and find the “ultimate truth” through this album. folklore and evermore were about fictional worlds and fictional characters but people still took out words and lines they thought to be clues that linked to aspects of Taylor's personal life she wasn't willing to share. If TTPD was marketed as a fictional storytelling album rather than a diaristic one, people would still judge and burn her at the stake like they're doing now.

Both paths lead to the same road. The whole album might not be the complete truth, but both the artist and the muses would be judged either way, and maybe as fans or human beings, we have to deconstruct this notion of thinking of songs as the ultimate and complete truth- a keyhole to a person's life because it's not. One song can be about more than 1 muse or a completely made-up story from the feelings the artist felt, or read about, or had a friend talk about it. And we need to understand that.

Dear swifties what is, in your opinion the most underrated bridge?
