one thing about taylor swift is she will have you going "god these lyrics 😭🥺🙌😪" and "god these lyrics 😬🤨🫣" in the same song
#i didnt think the post was complete w/o them lol#i feel like the 1830s line unfairly taken out of context#(as a white person !!!)#the point imo was that the 1830s were obv extrinsicly tied to racism#but her acknowledging that made the game less fun because then the others had to think sbout slavery#it really comunicated to me the ability white people have to gloss over atrocities we comitted#how just acknowledging something like slavery or imperialism or forced native relocation makes us feel guilty#and the knee jerk reaction is to gloss over it. or to blame the person for bringing it up. or minimize etc etc#which tied into like. how she goes to 'secret gardens in my mind' how she would hide from the real world#but also casting this fake ''1830s but without all the racists'' was as fictional as her maladaptive daydreams#tw slavery mention#tw racism mentioned#tw forced relocation#i hate it here taylor swift#the tortured poets department
