okay but Taylor’s prologue made me cry.
#it’s actually the first time (or one of at least!) where I feel like she’s put some of her own power into words really accurately#I love all of Taylor’s writing because it’s sincere and because it’s her#but her non-songwriting writing has always been fairly standard to me#sweet. sometimes funny. sometimes clever. but generally presenting some truth that’s fairly obvious#ljke even her midnights intro. go out searching for ourselves. twisting in our self-made cages#yeah yeah yeah#(the cages. we’ve all seen ‘em)#just rarely tapping into the truth of things the way her music does#so I was SHOOK when she started talking about the pressure she faced after fearless#and how she responded to it#like !!!!!!!! Omg there it is. the steel and the power that made her such a compelling force so early#and there it is!!!!! how deeply the criticisms about everything but especially her voice and her songwriting cut her open#also this re-recording project is so interesting because she CAN be more honest#first go around her MO was always to present things as positively and as graciously as she could while still making her points#but this lays all those parts of herself she worked to master and present in the best light bare#and I love to see it!#taylor swift#speak now (taylor’s version)
