prom went well!

#always conflicted by …. the level of everything #in terms of the quality #and I’m just like. guys we CAN do better than this. we can have something more beautiful! more appropriate. more ….. idk more suiting #a variety of personality types #but also. there was a lot of love #and I am never immune to that

That “only from a big family” delight in having the house to yourself for a little bit —

the haters want to pretend that this is the flop album they wanted to see from Taylor

#akksjsjejejejejehe #she is directly blocking their enjoyment of the fame cycle/pop culture world as something that provides only surface level novelty #and is not based on quality #people WISH that Katy Perry’s album was good because it would be so fun and new and DIFFERENT for Katy to be winning right now #but GUESS WHAT. not going to happen #it’s hilarious to ME

the tortured poets department (redesign) — inspired by and in honor of how big how blue how beautiful by florence + the machine (front / back), my favorite album (and visual album) of hers yet

#love the top pic so much #it’s a great visual reminder that Taylor is always something so much more than pretty #(and she is so pretty) #but better than that she is herself! #taylor swift #the tortured poets department

[itspileofgoodthings]

even if it’s handcuffed I’m leaving here with you!

#alkskskskskwkekejej #just the right amount of unhinged #love her so so much

[itspileofgoodthings]

#imgonnagetyouback does not belong here #but I think it is both funny and unfortunately real #she was like ‘oh think AGAIN bitch’ #‘you were never not mine’ #it has all the personality and heart that Olivia’s lacks #sorry for dunking on Olivia but this album found many Gen z artists dead #not you griff we’re thrilled you’re here #the tortured poets department #sorry for swearing

CAUSE I’M A REAL TOUGH KID I CAN HANDLE MY SHIT THEY SAID BABE YOU GOTTA FAKE IT TIL YOU MAKE IT AND I DID

#and I did!!!!!!

[itspileofgoodthings]

say it once again with feeling! how the death rattle breathing silenced as the soul was leaving! the deflation of our dreaming! Leaving me bereft and reeling —my beloved ghost and me. sitting in a tree! d y i n g

[itspileofgoodthings]

it’s the overwhelming love for me

#my beloved ghost and me 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I’m going to chaperone prom today!

#if you could say a prayer it goes well and I don’t fly too close to the sun in my enjoyment of being admired #(I have a great very appropriate for a chaperone but still killer black dress I’m going to wear) #but I do want to make sure I am not ENFP-ing too close to the sun or letting THEM #teaching tag

the school counselor (a lovable bro) asked me about Taylor’s album as someone who respected her in a general way but didn’t know her particularly well and so I spoke for a little bit on a couple of things and then said I thought that she had the rare gift of being universal in her specificity and he lit up and he quoted the all my friends smell like weed or little babies line like “oh my gosh, I heard that and it HITS. DIFFERENT in your mid-30’s”

#he then said he felt like he was the universe in the universal part of Taylor’s appeal #like he could feel her drawing him in even though he doesn’t think he’s going to listen to the album #but the astonishing reach of the art does not preclude him!!!! #I thought it was so insightful

the way “leaving me bereft and reeling” echoes loml

#going 2 die

[itspileofgoodthings]

How Did It End? is the entire grief of her life.

#fills me with rage to think of how many people make fun of this exact grief #but it is the central piece
