the black dog is such classic taylor songwriting - starting with a small detail/memory (seeing her ex visit a bar) and then it spirals into a wider recollection of the relationship. the flip from 'magic fabric of our dreaming' to 'tragic fabric of our dreaming' because those dreams are now ruined. the disconnect between being so far apart that she's stalking his location, to once showering together while she was shaking. the switch in the last chorus to him being a black dog, leaving with his tail between his legs. i am simply OBSESSED
The Tortured Poets Department is a great reminder that women don't owe the world pretty. Taylor Swift doesn't owe anyone an easily digestible pretty pop album wrapped in a bow with short songs you can make TikToks to. She's allowed to present something raw, uncomfortable, and vulnerable to the world.
