I think Matty Healy is awful but I’m still proud of Taylor putting “but daddy I love him” on the record.
There are songs on the album about her realising he love bombed her and manipulated her. Realising she fell for all of it, she was never going to fix him, and he was never going to be her saviour. She is scathing towards him, but also towards herself for falling for it. She could have left it at that and maybe copped less criticism. Instead she acknowledges the backlash and the defiance she felt in that moment.
It makes me feel the same way her putting Ours on Speak Now does. Grateful that she is open to sharing her stories even when the muse isn’t deserving of the words she wrote, even when releasing it fans the fires of the “I told you so” crowd.
And much like Ours is not a defence of Mayer, BDILH is not an acquittal of Healy. The phrasing she uses is not “he’s a good man they just don’t know him like I do”, it’s “I’m not coming to my senses” “I’d rather burn my whole life down”. The message of the song is not her trying to convince you he’s a good person (he’s not), it’s about a woman stumbling through a crisis and her desperate need to be able to make her own decisions, and that includes her own mistakes - which she seems to be acknowledging Matty was.
The “oh I could definitely write this fanfic in under 5000 words and it really wouldn’t take me that long” voice in your head is actually the devil speaking
How’d you ever get over the fear of posting your first fic?
Anonymity is a wonderful thing. I created a whole new account where I hadn’t talked or interacted with anyone at all before posting - it helped me feel protected, I guess. So that way even if everyone hated what I wrote, I could just slink back to my original account and pretend nothing ever happened.
However…
I was 14 when I posted my first ever fic. It was terrible, something I wouldn’t dream of sharing today, but people were very encouraging and that helped so much! I had people genuinely trying to help me with comments such as “the story is here, you just need to do x, y or z to get deeper into it” or “the characterisation is so close, but blah blah blah…” and at first I read these and absolutely spiraled because I focused on the negative. It took getting actual, pointless negativity for me to appreciate the constructive criticism of these other comments and while I would never claim to be some amazing writer I know I am a hundred times better than I was and I have kind internet strangers to thank.

She asked him where they were going and he said “I know places”. He took her to Florida!!! (Because, where else?). She was very grateful.
With a sigh he said “it’s nice to have a friend”. To which she replied, “you’re not a friend, baby, you’re the king of my heart”.
Later, after that cruel summer, they got married with paper rings.
😂😂🫣

The mistress is the main suspect - obviously - until years later Beckett is listening to a song and thinks “hey, this sounds awfully familiar” and connects the dots.
Taylor is arrested.
The fans are devastated but are curious as to how Taylor’s music will have changed when she’s ’fresh out the slammer’.

Mental images of Gates standing in the corner watching TayTay going absolutely nuts throwing papers just thinking to herself “… and I thought Castle was bad!” 😂
