#literally if someone said now that they enjoyed taylor and joe together swifties would get so mad

[autumnrory]

you know how swifties think every album is the best thing she's ever created because it's new and shiny which is fine but they always have to criticize all her previous albums while saying that like :oh THIS Is the one where she's really shown her artistry" even though she has been doing that since 2006

yeah they do the same thing with boyfriends lmao joe was perfect because he was there at her lowest and they were able to have a private relationship but OHHH no the narrative has changed! that wasn't a good thing actually, he was forcing her to hide away for years!!! and now travis is perfect because he's okay with her fame and is pictured with her constantly!!! like you all sound more and more ridiculous every single time

[bisluthq]

tbf, she also was picking sad songs in April when Matty and her were supposely so happy. And when she sung the songs her and Joe wrote together and the ones about him she also teared up at times or looked mad or dissociated it. I find it hard to believe that was all Matty aswell. I mean idk maybe none of it means anything anyway. I also remember that when that article about Joe being slighted over Matty was released, she chose songs right after that pointed to cheating from him. That's how the cheating theories started I believe. Also when Joe went out to the theater and pics were released she chose to sing Mr perfectly fine. A lot of people even joked she would, that's how funny it was. This was all in April. And I still think about how the great unfollowing was made out to be so public and orcheastrated to happen each time Taylor was out with someone, right after that photo posted by Emma Laird. That was other thing people assumed confirmed the cheating. The timing of everything

ehhh I mean I am very much still a “Taylor picks songs because they sound cool or because they relate to a date/place or because she has a friend in the audience that it matters to and MAYBE now and then she picks one based on mood” truther BUT based on how her and Matty communicated, we have to admit some of those were probably choices to… communicate with him. Not - btw - to signal to *us* but for him to know where she’s at since she obviously knew he’d be checking the lives and videos and shit.

it’s also pretty impossible to get a Taylor compilation that doesn’t include sad songs like that’s where I’m also just not sure there’s that much messaging because she knows her deep cuts are many of our faves and people go to enjoy a Taylor concert yk? A lot of the songs she’s repeated for example are sad songs that people love (YOYOK is her most repeated song and I know it’s MANY people’s fave off Midnights) and she has to do them like to yk give people a good concert experience? She originally said she’d try not repeat songs but as of Australia she scrapped that because tbh there are some songs she hasn’t played that not many people want to hear and there are deep cuts people DO want to hear and it’s shitty to get saddled with like idk Sweeter Than Fiction lmao just because you went to a later show. So like 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

re the Emma stuff there was no funny timing, and the Emma girl’s literally a non event, Swifties are just weird af.

re the unfollows lol like yes she obviously asked friends to unfollow or suggested they should but that’s because the people who did that are messy ass individuals lol like are we really looking at Ryan Reynolds and all the nonsense he gets up to online and taking it as like sekrit klues as to what happened?

HOT TAKE (tw taylor swift)

Last year in July, my lovely wife thought not legal or actually real as of right now girlfriend bought us TS tickets.

It's the eras tour, it's all encompassing of her music. It's been a dream to see her live since I found her at 11. For me, it's once in a lifetime opportunity affordability wise and I had a theory she might take a break from music and this tour would be a temporary far well and being grateful to her fans for where she is.

We are (were?) planning a road trip to New Orleans to see her and thinking of outfits and pit stops we have to go to.

But I've felt differently about her after the devastation to our planet with her jet rides and absolute silence on the ongoing genocide in Palestine that gets worse by day. Also she's a billionaire now, and as we all know, there no ethical way to achieve that. That she sits here churning new special versions after people spent hard earned money on the previously "new" version. The fuck ass expensive merch that has degraded in quality and creativity. And with that money could donate to Palestine in like an hour and save thousands of lives - after she's paid her staff and employees that are in one way or another associated by her and her brand. If she said one sentence in favor Palestinian lives her swarm of "swifties" would support and donate what they can in an instant. Maybe even skip on merch to give that money towards someone's escape and survivability.

But nonetheless I wanted to go to this concert of music that has carried and spoken to me for.... I'm 22 now so that's literally a decade. I am limiting engagement on social media, don't plan on buying merch anymore. Also the Tourtured Poets department merch line was terrible.... and frankly most of the album. But still fucking catchy unfortunately though my gf and I really thought she might finally brave something new and different. And after the concert I would limit my engagement even more and not listen to any music from then on - probably burning cds or pirate.... ing so I don't continue to stream or buy her music I do still enjoy.

But this "updated" Era Tour to include TTPD...... an absolute fucking shit show. I've already spoken (i think) on the immature and frankly horrible way she is handling and portraying the end of her 6(?) year relationship. And the light she is painting about Joe Alywn and allowing even more encouraging the harassment, mistreatment and threats to his life and/or safety. Because people change and grow apart sometimes, and that almost always means a split.

But to rewrite the narrative of Lover, in color scheme in outfits and playlists. To just disregard the six years they had together, their support for each other over that time. To taint all the lover tour outfits in reds and golds?! To shorten the already short Speak Now set? Cutting tolerate it of Evermore which was also condescend with folklore!

All for the sake of throwing the newest album? Someone else pointed out that she could have shorten the albums that have already gotten their respective tours (Fearless, Speak Now, Red, 1989) I will credit with an @ and quote when I find it again.

An album that didn't even peak mainstream. It broke records, sure and got good numbers. But no one outside of her kiss assers cared. And I will admit, I've been listening to select few songs until I can acquire them in methods that doesn't fund her ego even more.

Anywayyyy extremely disappointed in her career and the true colors she showed after Evermore came out. I've defended her in her toughest times. Still criticizing in a healthy way (after years of being a kiss asser). Introducing her to people who knew her for one corney love song and never bothered with more. People who would ask why I enjoy her music so much or about her to me of course. I've been excited for every new venture (breaking into the pop world with 1989).

Supporting her Taylor's Versions, believing she has every right to own her music, her memorabilia and processing of understanding each new good or bad even in her life. As I think all artists should. But, I do think after Red TV, she might have started doing it as a cash grab rather than wanting to have the rights to her life story. My view on that has been proven with how short the release for Speak Now TV was. The 5 song vault tracks on 1989 TV. I personally love them all, but from a standpoint of story telling and music quality..... they didn't do all that much for 1989 TV and she could have decided against vault songs for that record.

I learned guitar just to learn her songs!!! I asked for a $500 dollar guitar for Christmas at 16/17. I wanted it to be unique and resemble hers a little bit as an homage and thank you to her. I didn't go as far as naming that guitar after her, but I considered it for a short time. Which by way isn't she so pretty?! She sat in a music store my sister and I started piano lessons at in CDMX. I would spend any free time staring and lingering at this beauty for like 2 months. She went unpurchased the whole time, waiting for me. Though she was displayed in a spot which constant sun so the front the body isn't as pale as it should be. But she's soooo beautiful, sun damage and all :)

So, high likelihood that my girl and I will sell out tickets and use that money towards a different trip we won't be disappointed, underwhelmed, less excited about than before concert we honestly might regret going to afterwards. With the way things are looking of her current Paris set list. I mean...... she cut tolerate it!!!!! I didn't have a full appreciation for that song until I saw it live at the Eras Tour movie I purchased tickets to, along with my girlfriend. And then did so again to take our 2 roommates to see the movie cus we knew they would have fun with some aspects of it - if not for the music itself.

Also I fucking hate So High School and Who's afraid of little old me as a grown 33 year old woman. Who is a billionaire.

TLDR:

I have reevaluated my love of her music and commitment to the latest album, the newest merch. Streaming the newest music video the second it releases. Singing her praises and my excitement for the all-encompassing-career that is the Eras Tour. Ongoing support and defense of her music since I was 11. A decade of my life, happiness, inspiration I had for her. The immaturity towards her break up with Joe Alwyn and lack of stance on asking her fans not to harass him, follow him in public, threaten to end his life in gruesome, criminal ways. I feel after a certain point her Taylor's Version were more about getting it over with, making a profit, and hopping to the next one. Disgusted by her complete choice to ignore and not care about Palestinan lives and livelihood. When she absolutely has the resources and funds to pay for their escape, even a good chunk of money to help them get their lives started up again in Egypt until the day they can hopefully, and rightfully, go back to their homeland. Fuck she could use her private jet to help deliver aid or maybe get near-death survivors of bombings that need life saving procedures and medical care that they don't have and/or being continually denied in Palestine. My girlfriend and I had tickets that we got July 2023, to go see her October 2024. On the less important note compared to the prior topic, completely changed the set list, mood/energy, and meaning to her and her fans of the Eras Tour set list as it was in 2023.
