Taylor Swift #24 Four down, two to go. Just her rep and her name to get back

[grannypants]

I just want to say (and I’ve had 4 wines so pls be nice) that it’s so lovely to see the community we’ve built on this thread and how people feel comfortable sharing their past experiences of relationships and how they link to Taylor’s songs.
I don’t have many people in my life who love Taylor’s music like I do so it’s so wonderful to come here and not feel stupid or silly for feeling so deeply about her music! It feels like a really safe space and such a welcoming commmunity! It’s definitely my favourite thread on here

 

[The Downfall of Us All]

I’ve only just found this thread!
1989 came out while I was with my abusive ex boyfriend, I remember especially listening to Bad Blood in the bath with my glass of wine while I was avoiding angering him. Wildest Dreams was another one I’d listen to, imagining someone coming to sweep me off my feet and away from him. It turned out the hero that saved me from him, was me.

It’s weird now hearing the re-release, with her raw vocals (especially “still got scars from your knife on my back” - so true) as a very happily married woman so many years on! It’s quite emotional actually.

A writer I follow summed my feelings about the million different albums and her becoming a billionaire pretty well. When will it be enough?

 

[QueenBW]

I know you guys must think I'm dead inside but it's all so cringe. And her changing the words to songs she wrote for someone else kinda cheapens the whole thing to me but oh well.

Also thinking of being in Travis's situation, I wouldn't like it if my boyfriend sang me songs written for his ex.

And recreating the run to hug him like on Miss Americana with Joe? Yikes.

I’m all for being self made - or as self made as Taylor is considering the family wealth that kickstarted her career. But there are no reasons for Billionaires to exist. That’s a disgusting amount of money.

Sat in my new house, listening to 1989 (Taylor’s version) and eating take out with my fiancé. It’s been a good day!

I'm cynical but I feel like Taylor writes her diary like someone who knows she's going to post pieces of it online...

Yeah I clocked that run for a big Miss Americana re-enactment. The camera person right there getting up close pictures of the whole kiss. It was utterly unhinged. So was the lyric change. Then again this is the same woman that mouthed I love you to Matty Healy during a show six months ago, so…

Maybe I’m dead inside too - or too much of a Scorpio - because this just made me even more cynical.

Im not surprised. He basically said in an interview if a woman doesnt sleep with him by the 3rd date it gives him second thoughts

Also oral sex is a deal breaker for him and he said all this publicly.

So no breeder does not shock me.

As in he doesn’t give it? Sorry but if a man isn’t willing to eat the ham sandwich, it’s a red flag

 

[grannypants]

Everybody look at my icon of Midnights Taylor in a witch hat

 

[Luce0331]

I’ll be really surprised if there are any big changes.
Some of you were convinced we were getting a double 1989 album and look how that panned out

 

[BeautifulTrauma]

Regardless of anything else, Argentina absolutely won with the mash up of Is It Over Now?/Out Of The Woods. I would’ve gone feral if I was there last night to witness the smile just before she went into OOTW. She knew exactly what she was doing!

thoughts on this thread…

Hmmm. It has made Taylor a lot more money, definitely. But I don't believe it's money she craves (it's not like she was skint), it's validation and power. Years of slut shaming, haters, criticism, misogyny and not getting credit where it was deserved will do that to you.

The thing is though... We know Taylor's voice has improved with age. We know she has loads more gems in her many vaults. We love her music. We want her to own it. We want to see a woman have this power. We get joy from all of this.

Why not give the fans what they want? There's enough misery in the world.

 

[Folkevermore]

Yeah that’s a good point, it just seems so…staged. maybe it’s a bit of both, they are dating but also enjoying the public interest

Someone needs to remind her that in her life she’ll do things greater than dating the boy on the football team… it seems to be her whole personality lately

 

[calmyourritas]

Is it over now is a fucking BOP and I can’t believe it was ever left off the album

 

[Folkevermore]

Maybe it’s just me but this relationship is turning out more cringe than HiddleSwift

 

[Chinese_whispers]

Re: being papped with friends. I just find it weird, and a bit annoying that she’s always front and centre. Like she’s their leader or something. All of those other women are accomplished, rich and famous too yet it seems to be The Taylor Show. That’s what makes it seem disingenuous to me.

To all the N6 Toronto swifties, sorry you’re not going to the “last night of the eras tour” anymore, lots of love from N6 London swiftie #beentheredonethat

 

[QueenBW]

Thank God tour is restarting for a couple weeks cause that WAG content is making me cringe way too much.

 

[Folkevermore]

We can all have our own opinions, I just don’t understand why she can’t “reassure” him privately? Honestly, I’d cringe if any of my friends acted like this in their 30s. Maybe I’m just too British to understand this over the top American behaviour.
Also karma is a metaphor not an actual reference to a particular man so it doesn’t make sense
