friend <3 did you listen to TaylorxFlorence Florida!!! song? and Taylor's Cassandra??

Hello lovely <33 yes! I’m not a huge Taylor fan, but I did enjoy it, definitely felt more like a Florence song, which is an absolute positive for me lol

and i enjoyed cassandra (although Florence's Cassandra will always be incredibly dear to me, it's just got so much energy). i definitely don't understand those people getting really annoyed about its kind of inaccuracies ("actually cassandra was killed after the war blah blah blah"), because I do think it captures the idea of a Cassandra archetype, a (usually) woman who is shunned for speaking out of turn. she loses her identity, reduced to a madwoman. it's a death of sorts

so yeah, not enough to make me a swiftie, but definitely a couple of good songs- i'll give the album a back to back listen when i get the chance probably
