does taylor have a single debut song on any of the playlists?
#taylor swift#I dont think she does!#im so fascinated w her relationship to debut and how its grown and changed esp as shes started looking at her own life#and how her career and child stardom has affected her#it def seems like the album she has the most complicated relationship w even over albums like rep or lover#bc like. its her first! and she was 15 and not in control of any of it really#i cant wait for the tv of debut i really wanna see what she has to say#esp bc the promotion of the album looking back is kind of. is upsetting the word?#it has that gross sexualized lolita feel to it that her and her mom did a lot to scrub out of the promotion of fearless and speak now#that + her experience thruout the rest of her career w older men slutshaming and aggressive sexualization despite her pushing against it#all while she like. was clearly trying to discuss and explore sexuality in her music but doing that in any sort of public way#wouldve left her even more vulnerable. its a distressing balancing act that she still tries to maintain#idk my thoughts on debut arent fully formed i think id have to go back and look thru a lot of the promo and interviews n concerts#to have a better articulated thesis but its like. i get why shes weird about it#and thats before her just being deeply self critical and it being an album she made with only like 3ish years of songwriting under her belt#i have put all of my thoughts in the tags again
