This for me as well, I'm in it for the sparkly dresses and good music.I just don’t think I care enough about what ‘the truth’ is to be bothered if she was the villain or not in her relationships. I like her music so I just take what I want to from the songs and make it my own little story of what happened or relate my own experiences back to it to give it a narrative in my head.
I think there’s a lot of artistic license used as well, and it’s all a little embellished/over dramatised. I’ve said before but the songs would be boring if they weren’t over dramatised (see small man… if that was just ‘ugh you were a bit of a dick, it would not hit the same would it)
It’s a bit like watching the hills or made in Chelsea. I am invested even if I think a lot of it is probably not real. I’m just having a good time
I was sweeping yesterday and think I finally got the last of the glitter upDon’t think I’ve used this much glitter eye shadow and highlighter since high school folks. Going to be finding it in my carpet for weeks I think!
same! and absolutely we can’t take every lyric she writes as gospel, as the truth. i would be extremely surprised if things weren’t ever embellished at all to fit the song, to fit the style of whatever she was going for on a record etc! and yeah it’s fun to speculate but ultimately we will never know the truth.This for me as well, I'm in it for the sparkly dresses and good music.
I get it! People are saying Gold Rush is about Karlie but no no, it's about that one out of this world handsome guy I had a very intense fling with back in 2018 (we really wanted it to work out, alas, he was already scheduled to move abroad when we met).I like her music so I just take what I want to from the songs and make it my own little story of what happened or relate my own experiences back to it to give it a narrative in my head.
Both are terrible, but I think being cheated on would hurt my self-esteem more (it's the mix of not being enough and being fooled at the same time).Maybe not on/off but highs/lows? I suppose like any relationship.
The songs that suggest lows; The Great War, Hits Different, afterglow, hoax(?), peace, happiness (?), the Alcott, you're losing me. Am I missing any?
I've been lucky enough to only have been in one serious relationship (plenty of flings though, lol) and have so far never had my heart broken in that way. Serious question, re the unfollowings etc etc... Is being cheated on worse than the other person simply not loving you enough or considering you not worth all the hassle?
A friend of a Facebook friend can't go, so just paid them for the ticket price and the cost of their non-refundable hotel!Where did you get them from?
Enjoy! X
i mean if we were ever going to discuss/dissect/give our own opinions on these kind of things then it’s going to be here on a discussion forum! i do like reading everyone’s takes, whether i agree or disagree and i like that it’s pretty much always a respectful discussion. it’s why i love this threadSorry I don’t know why I went off on one about it all today, usually I’m a bit more balanced and I understand creative licence / truth being somewhere in between / not knowing any of the individuals involved etc. but something just went off for some reason, I think I was already annoyed.
Me too. Trying to remember where I used to get newspapers….https://giphy.com/3og0IHeN64TrXVu7GU ---
Omg I actually might go out and BUY a newspaper tomorrow.
I do agree with this he's rich and privileged even if not on the same scale as Taylor. But she is in a complete other ballpark. Even ballpark doesn't feel big enough a metaphor.I read the article and rolled my eyes so hard at Billion dollar Swift machine Vs Ordinary Joe. Oh come off it he's not an ordinary guy serving pints in the local pub he's an Actor! He has a team behind him too, he's just been to Cannes, he has a Grammy, he had the balls to date the most famous woman in the world yet in their piece he's just nice man Joe who speaks well.
Let's not forget how they met and what was going on at the time, he knew how she operated and decided he liked it then.
I saw on a FB group that they were OK! Apparently someone in standing, she was pregnant and her friend said she maybe hadn't eaten or drank enough but she is fine now.Hello I got last minute tickets to night 1 still haven't come back down to earth. There was someone stretchered off and I was hoping to see something about if they were doing OK but I've seen nothing. I'm interested to see what she does after December.
I love the idea for Taylor men are free to be made fools but not a cat! That's where she draws the line.Songwriters dramatise stuff sometimes. The truth is not always compelling.
A fun example is that the key lime green dog in TGLAD was a cat in reality. "Dog" and "rock" have the same vowel sound, so it just sounds nicer (Taylor loves using the same vowel sounds as close as possible). Or she couldn't bear to make a fool of a cat in a song.
The cat to dog thing was also an example of how ~folklore~ tales are passed down and over time change too, wasn’t it? I swear she said that somewhere too, or someone did.Songwriters dramatise stuff sometimes. The truth is not always compelling.
