I wish people in the fandom (this isn’t even about tumblrinas btw I’m mostly seeing it elsewhere) would shut the hell up about the next re-record, album etc bc we JUST got 31 songs and people are speculating about a 3rd album? Or about how TTPD ties into reptv? Like shut UP fuck off get away from her!!!

no but really i don’t understand why the internet is not understanding the point of i can do it with a broken heart. she’s not trying to make us feel bad for going to eras tour?? and we don’t have to be silent on the “crowd was screaming more” line either? these people who feel guilty for going to eras tour don’t make sense and im wondering if it’s just showing a difference between people who have always seen taylor as a person and the ones who are just now seeing her as one

the peaked at high school girls who have cosplayed being a swiftie for a year are having a hard time comprehending ttpd lyrics and it's sending me. taylor swift is for the nerds, artists and daydreamers you bullied in school. you wouldn't last an hour in the asylum they raised me, the world is healing

Taylor Swift is an amazing songwriter wbk but she also has these little idiosyncrasies that are so *her* like the intentional whisper of ‘old habits die screaming’ and how she cuts off ‘how dare you say that it’s -‘, and how ‘so long London’ mimics the chime of Big Ben, and this goes back, mind you. the lyric ‘my stolen lullabies’ trails off like she was choked saying the last word (that lyric deserves it’s own essay but I digress), and she begins Last Kiss with 27 seconds of instrumentals for -reasons- and just. She’s not just a songwriter, she really is just incredibly talented and creative on all fronts, we just got lucky that she chose music as her baby.

we need to give aaron dessner his flowers for his work on ttpd especially the first half. i think we start to see more experimentation from him on but daddy i love him so long london and the smallest man that break away from his signature sound and it’s so cool to see the evolution of his and taylor’s work over time

so long london

i love the…. almost horror aspects of this album. all the references to ghosts and death…. and sonically, the unexpected shrieking in WAOLOM and the banging and screaming during “old habits die screaming” and even the way the tension subtly builds across the sixteen tracks and by the end you’re so stressed and shaken it’s like! losing your sense of self and feeling like you’ve become a monster is horror. and i’m sooooo glad she leaned into it

the manuscript ending the album on the utter jawdrop moment that neither of the muses of the actual album were the first men to fuck her up with promises of marriage and babies, and that first heartbreak so long ago laid the scene for the woman she would become and the ways she would approach love and how we all watched her life like scenes in a show but she kept coming back to the manuscript of the first torrid affair that ruined her, to bookend an album about two love affairs that destroyed her utterly in almost the exact same way, because all her muses are acquired like bruises........ it's bone-chilling
