all shall be well :')))) ALL SHALL BE WELL

#always a timely reminder for us all! #this is re: texting troubles. breadmaking shenanigans. all the things going on in the world. #on an unrelated note (i just watched miss americana today): do you (referring to tswift lovers) pray for her? #i wonder how many people are praying for her. i know for kpop there's a small fraction of kpop fans who pray for their favourite singers #this is a sudden thought because my word has she Gone Through It a lot in her life. and she DOES have this incredibly golden #and somewhat firmly oriented moral imagination when it comes to what SHOULD be in the world #(i.e. eucatastrophic turns in sad songs/lyrics; tswift clearly SEES and names heartache and sorrow but also is able to draw out #such beautiful and true images and motifs and so on and so forth) but though she says she's a Christian (in the 2020 documentary anyway) i #don't know if THE Eucatastrophe (as prof jirt would put it) is a part of her creative big picture/perspective ? #anyway love y'all happy pentecost (it's almost midnight here. alas) LOVE YOUUUU :D #songbird again

2019 feels so much further away than 2020 but it’s literally just a year

#the way our lives just… changed so rapidly. #did you ever hear about the girl who got frozen? #anyways. this isn’t me feeling like I got frozen at 21 btw don’t get any ideas #I’m just saying. 2019 (the year lover miss americana came out) feels WAAYY further away in time #than Covid 2020 #like Covid happened yesterday to me #meanwhile 2019 feels like half a decade #leah rambles

"It's a lot to process because we do exist in this society where women in entertainment are discarded in an elephant graveyard by the time they're 35. Everyone's a shiny, new toy for, like, two years. The female artists that I know of have reinvented themselves 20 times more than the male artists. They have to, or else you're out of a job. Constantly having to reinvent, constantly finding new facets of yourself that people find to be shiny. Be new to us, be young to us, but only in a new way and only in the way we want. And reinvent yourself, but only in a way that we find to be equally comforting but also a challenge for you. Live out a narrative that we find to be interesting enough to entertain us, but not so crazy that it makes us uncomfortable. This is probably one of my last opportunities as an artist to grasp onto that kind of success. So, I don't know, like, as I'm reaching 30, I'm like, 'I want to work really hard, um, while society is still tolerating me being successful.'"

January 31, 2020: Taylor describes the challenges that women, in particular, face in the entertainment industry as they age. (source 1, 2)

It seems like the general public has just discovered Miss Americana which is interesting to say the least.

#taylor swift #miss americana #I have seen the clip of her talking to her dad like three times on my twitter this morning #and the funny thing is that people are treating that clip like it’s brand brand new #as if it wasn’t from a 2020 documentary and filmed in 2018 #it seems like people are being positive about it and recommending others to watch even if they aren’t massive fans

K this doesn’t matter and I disagree with this person but it’s cracking me up how many of those qrts are misreading “inane” as “insane” I have to save it forever on my this here blog

This person is saying that Harry’s “don’t let anybody tell you what to do with your body” speech is inane, as in they think it’s a childish thing to say in lieu of an actionable political statement; not that they think basic bodily autonomy is “insane” omfg

#it’s plainly untrue that he’s less publicly political now than in 2017 he was deep in his ‘it’s not my place to say’ thing back then #talking #he watched miss americana and became inspired to be a democrat too and that didn’t come out til 2020 sooooooooo #I joke I kid I goof good night

"If I get bad press for saying, 'Don't put a homophobic racist in office', then I get bad press for that. I really don't care. I think that it is so frilly and spineless of me to stand onstage and go, 'Happy Pride Month, you guys,' and then not say this when someone's literally coming for their neck.”

Randomly thinking about “tolerate it” (narrator voice: it was not random) and how under the cloak of fiction it is ostensibly inspired by works like “Rebecca” (which Taylor said she read during the 2020 lockdowns I believe?), with the line of “you’re so much older and wiser” indicating that the speaker is significantly younger and inexperienced compared to the person she’s speaking to and a pretty direct reference to the plot of the book.

But I saw something somewhere once that stuck with me about how it might not be referring to relative age between the characters but chronological age as in the passage of time in a relationship. And that made me think about how in a contemporary context, it might not necessarily be referencing an actual age gap between the two characters, but rather a sarcastic or cynical response to the man’s claims that he has matured (“you’re so much older and wiser [than you were before/than you were when we met/etc.]”), which then made me think about that line in relation to the woman. And that it could be taken like, “you act like you’ve matured so much in our time together and like you know everything, while I’m supposedly still stuck as the girl I was when we first met.”

Which then made me think of the “right where you left me” of it all and did you ever hear about the girl who got frozen time went on for everyone else she won’t know it and the bit in Miss Americana where she talks about how celebrities get frozen at the age at which they got famous, and how she’s had to play catch up in a lot of ways not just in her emotional growth but kind of in general. (Which also made me wonder if she’s ever been called out for immaturity/lack of curiosity/lack of education about things in her life…)

Which then made me think about the rest of the song, and @taylortruther’s posts yesterday about “seven” and “Daylight” and the way Taylor idealizes her youth yet contrasts it with an almost sinister reality in its wake, and the line, “I sit by the door like I’m just a kid,” because the discussion raised that her relationship let her recapture some of the childlike joy and wonder she’d lost. So this line is a double-edged sword: the speaker sits by the door with childlike hope that the person will come home and cherish her, but on the darker side, feels like the child dealing with the monsters she doesn’t have names for yet and the feelings of isolation she felt as she aged.

I’m not saying the song is necessarily autobiographical; like most of the songs on folkmore, it’s clearly a fictionalized story based on media she’d consumed and created, but we know a lot of the fictional songs were infused with her own feelings and experiences and… This idea swirling in my head picked up steam and now I kind of can’t stop thinking about it. Sorry but I’m a little obsessed now.

Like maybe it might start to shed light on why she identified so strongly with the novel in the first place…

#the third eye has been opened #😵‍💫 #like tolerate it was always a difficult song #even when we learned it was based on Rebecca it obviously took on new meaning post-joever #and especially in light of ttpd #but the thought spiral i went on last night when i started thinking about all these connections #and the evermore of it all #I’m Charlie at the conspiracy board again #writing letters addressed to the fire #me thinking too hard about Taylor lyrics #evermore my beloved #tolerate it #i kinda gave myself the ick with all this 😵‍💫 #because of the ttpd of it all coming up #and i feel like i remember interviews where Taylor said joe was so well-read especially about like world events and politics and stuff #and supported her when she wanted to start speaking up (not getting into that) #but just based on ~vibes now I wonder if that was like a sore point too at some point #which again i have no proof of but just like… experience with pretentious millennial art bros lol #oh man oh man oh man #this feels like some sort of huge revelation at 1:00 am #when i started writing this lol #eta: when I queued this in the middle of the night i didn't see all the excellent discussion about the seven/folklore posts #so all of you who have been posting about them this morning consider yourselves tagged too!

What are the chances that Joe was “blue” because of her? And that he has color back in his face too because he’s no longer with her? Because I just have this sense that she is an unreliable narrator based on the 10 different reasons she has given for the breakup and none of them include her taking accountability for her role in beating that man down due to her behaviour.

Well, let's see! There are NO mentions of him being "blue" on Rep. None!

Like if Joe is just naturally predisposed to be anxious and depressed you'd think she would have noticed it immediately, so he wasn't broken and blue from day 1. Joe is not like this naturally. He was a "killer" and "cool" back then. Took her a couple of years to break her favourite toy. So, he was introverted yes, but not blue.

The Joe is "blue" references appear later on Lover. "I'm with you even if it makes me blue" (Paper Rings; Lover), "We're so sad, we paint the town blue" ( Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince Lover), "I blew things out of proportion, now you're blue" & "It's so excruciating to see you low" (Afterglow) "But I'm a fire, and I'll keep your brittle heart warm if your cascade ocean wave blues come" (Peace; Folklore), "Don't want no other shade of blue but you" (Hoax; Folklore), "Is it really your anxiety that stops you from giving me everything or do you just not want to?" (Renegade; written after Evermore) "Soldier down on that icy ground Looked up at me with honor and truth Broken and blue, so I called off the troops That was the night I nearly lost you" (The Great War)

Lover was apparently done by Feb 2019 and released Aug 2019, Folklore was July 2020, and Renegade was being written maybe December 2020.

So the broken and blue Joe wasn't a thing before 2018. Suspicious huh 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

It took her a couple of years to break her favourite toy and the themes of Joe being "blue" and accusing him of cheating came in.

So, 4 years of mindfuckery and abuse assuming the first 2 years were decent enough… 🙄

Also, funny how the boy who was brave enough to fly to the US all alone with a backpack (they literally had to buy him clothes) and charm Ang Lee and Yorgos back in 2015 to give him roles is now all anxious and insecure. Suspicious huh 🙄🙄🙄 Yeah Joe, where the anxiety at back in 2015? 🙄 This is not something an anxious boy could handle.. 🙄 Almost like someone made him feel he wasn't good enough or successful enough… 🙄🙄🙄
