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

“Corro—You do remember!” “Oh my god! Yes, of course. With a name like that, how could I forget?” “I dunno. You’re a freak”

Yes. We haven’t talked enough about them. And yes, they deserved a better ending. A happy ending.

I Hate It Here is for the creative ADHD girlies who think they got their dream job but then pull back the curtain and learn it's not what it seems but now they're trapped and stuck in it and fall into a massive depressive episode where nothing is enjoyable and nothing interests them and now they're just hollow and breaking

We were so incredibly on point that day when we discussed that their relationship came to a massive turning point in 2021 and never recovered. Taylor overstayed the entirety of 2022 and has a lot of regret that she did. Perhaps if she hadn’t stayed hoping a cure would come through, she wouldn't have exited the relationship in the fashion she did and the entire manic episode could've been avoided? Making an entire album focussed on Joe would be like going after a dead man/beating a dead horse. She shares that he neglected her, resented her, preferred spending time with other women, and basically left her devoid of any love and affection - she’s explicit about these problems/his behaviour, but none of this is a focus of any one song or songs directed at him. Their intimacy was catalysed by arguments which was mostly caused by her fighting for the relationship, trying to keep it (and him) alive.

She's clearly cognizant of his mental health which so adds an extra layer to this. She even expresses her uncertainty with how it ultimately ended - because these were all issues in the relationship while still ongoing: cheating happened and they remained together; he neglected her and they remained together; he resented her and her success and they remained together. It was the totality of all of this that of course meant it had to end. But because it all was accepted until it wasn’t, it’s confusing even to her how it finally did (How Did it End).

So the story of them can be found throughout the album for the listener to pick up and it's by using a much shorter but also incredibly painful relationship as a vessel. This might just be the biggest feat she's ever accomplished as a songwriter and I applaud her for succeeding so wonderfully.
