learning ab the trojan war rn and ab how it started because of paris kidnapping helen & how her face is known as "the face that launched 1000 ships" because the greeks sent 1000 ships to rescue her and all i can think ab is "the men start wars yet troy hates helen" 😭

Good night I’m suddenly thinking again about the Lover era and how Taylor was convinced her career would naturally slow down due to her age and the industry and society and how we’ve all talked about how it seemed like she (and Joe…?) was basing her life and career decisions off that and then instead her career ramped up and that clearly those Plans™️ then… stalled. And that it seems like that… stalling was just killing her inside. 😵💫 Because everything she wanted may have hinged on the one set of circumstances (withdrawing from public life and who knows what else) and those circumstances may have been held over her head. 😵💫
(And also thinking about how someone’s resentment may have played into that stalling ugh.)

no but the way Coming of Age was originally going to be the album name/opener and it has the line “i am the iliad of course you couldn’t read me” and then in History of Man, the closing track, has the lyric “the men start wars yet troy hates helen” 😶🌫️😶🌫️😶🌫️ i hate it here

he stole her youth and promised heaven
the men start wars yet troy hates helen
women's hearts are lethal weapons
did you hold mine and feel threatened?
hear my lyrics, taste my venom
you are still my great obsession
