u shd rank the speak now vaults once they've marinated in ur mind a bit

i can see you - I LOVEEEEEE THE INSTRUMENTALS it’s just so groovy and electric and different and totally delicious. not to mention the music video is absolute perfection. and idc what anyone says the horniness is kinda iconic

when emma falls in love - this song is about the book and you know it. but when i heard this i was so shocked because i just feel like the singer is lowkey in love with emma… but that’s just my interpretation. it would not be that hard to change the lyrics to “to tell you the truth, sometimes i wish i was with her” especially in the last verse which is just so. filled with longing. ANYWAY i really like this one because the storytelling style and instrumentals are just so reminiscent of fearless.

foolish love - JEKFKAKCKKSKF WHY DID SHE WRITE THIS FOR ME?????? WHY IS SHE PERSONALLY ATTACKIGN ME RN.

electric touch - THIS SONG IS SO CUTE i could totally see young taylor belting this out but the beginning verses are so sad??

castles crumbling - did she write this after what kanye did at the vmas? if she did then the lyrics become even more depressing… lots of levana vibes though (if she was self aware)

timeless - yk what i like this mainly for its amazing music video potential.

#sorry this took a while #but thank you for giving me the excuse to listen to the vaults again #ts ranking #ellie tag

ttpd review: thoughts (and prayers)

cuz wtf was that. (also providing my two cents that no one gives a shit about)

Is the promotion in the room with us?

Not going to lie, this part pissed me off. As a post evermore release swiftie, the first album release I got was midnights. And while the promotion for midnights wasn't astoundingly genius, the track list release (midnights mayhem with me) was smart. Everyday, there would be chaos all over social media of taylor taking out a number and releasing the track name. The excitement over YOYOK was to die for. But after reaching peak fame, girlie just decided shit wasn't necessary anymore. Absolutely no promotion for ttpd, except a few lyrics that provided no context (or excitement) whatsoever. That, and the very non subtle "hinting" of some big reveal of what went down between her and joe, by making some playlists, that not only ruined the perspective of many of her fans and the relationship they had with her previous songs, but ALSO. THE ALBUM HAD BARELY ANYTHING ABOUT JOE. (Not that i personally care about what happened, but it was so unnecessary to center the ONLY promotion done around someone who was barely a part of the album). Swifties went on the internet to harass joe alwyn (and his female coworkers) who might as well be called a special mention on a matty healy album. Why even do all that then? We will never know.

Confusion?

taylor released 31 songs, and while a double album theory coming true would be a dream come true for any swiftie, it just... wasn't. Out of 31 songs, barely 10 stood out. Some of it just didn't make sense, in any way. "Why is this on the album?" "This sounds like a midnights vault track." "No issues, maybe this is just a skip. I'll listen to the next. Oh wait nvm. Um." Like girl what. It just feels like a giant vault album of synth pop music.

Also, it's called the tortured poets department. There is barely anything poetic or tortured about the album aesthetic. Except maybe it's torturing me, but I'm as much of a poet as she is, which basically means I'm not one.

The album just feels so different than the other albums, in the sense that they followed an aesthetic, a certain style of music and lyrics, and created some sort of story. This one just feels like she wrote many songs and put them all on an album, picked whatever track name seemed interesting enough as the album name, and called it a day. Some of the songs are gems, some create a confusion as to why they are on this album, and some just make you cringe- or atleast go "wtf". Which is fine, but if not even half the songs fall under the first category out of 30 songs, then it's a problem.

These were written by... taylor?

The lyrics omfg. I'm not going to be one of those ppl who go around saying that the lyrics sounded like an emo middle schooler (I've heard this take) BUT again, some songs have lyrics that make you question how taylor, someone who wrote the albums folklore and evermore, and many great songs like would've, could've, should've, story of us, all too well, fearless, white horse, dbatc, daylight, red... I could keep going tbh, produced...this.

It was very weird to listen to the words "tattooed golden retriever" from someone who wrote "handsome, you're a mansion with a view" (also who the FUCK is calling matty healy that??)

A very important part of taylor's music is how it is focused on the lyrics. The music itself isn't the most special, or different, in most of her songs, but what makes them (and her) special is her songwriting. However, from her songwriting going from commonly used phrases and idioms to make them tell a story, use a wide range of vocabulary, heavily using personification, allusion, transferred epithet, and a few other figures of speech that she uses in her songs to make elements such as colours, for example, tell a story, in a way it seemed effortless and fit perfectly, to this... now it feels like she's trying to do that, but that's it. She's TRYING, and it's not yielding results, and seems more like a try hard "poet" rather than... whatever she was going for. The songs are filled with self-satisfied "clever" metaphors that are being reused and recycled over and over. This is not what ppl meant when they asked you to be more environmentally friendly, taylor.

Final thoughts I guess?

While the songs are basically only an empty shell of something that taylor used to make, the album isn't all bad. Some of the songs do sound good and go well with taylor's voice (aaron dessner, the fucking legend you are) and are quite enjoyable, if not as memorable as her other songs.

There are songs such as the prophecy, clara bow, so long, london, loml, guilty as sin?, etc., that really do come through and honestly I really like them.

I do feel that the album can grow on people, but it's just... not the best. Like she says so much, and not to quote taylor swift, but genuinely the only thing in my head right now is "the more you say, the less I know".

Overall, the album is fine, but not in taylor swift standards. It's just... not bad, with some exceptions.

Briefly lost my mind and considered doing a second PhD last night -- which, we can agree, is quite probably the worst idea I have ever had.

#hilary for ts #school stuff #i was in bed but i did the mental equivalent of sitting down until the thought went away #but the university i work at offers tuition waivers for faculty + staff #and has a top ranked international studies program that would work well with my history + current events + international politics interests #i just. i thought about it all right.#because i am exactly the kind of person who emerges from that and goes hmm. that was awful. we should do it again.

ranking live action frankie's fits

#1

[ID: two screencaps of frankie stein showing off their outfit. they are wearing a black leather-esque jacket with a safety pin heart on the left side, with a blue chain hanging right below that attaches to the jacket's side pocket. frankie has a yellow lightening bolt earring and a metal chain necklace with what appears to be a supersized safety pin instead of a necklace's traditional pendant. they are wearing a black shirt, and their pants are half black on the right leg with white and black pin stripes on the left leg. end ID]

the fit they were in for most of their screentime, i believe. and it's a fucking BANGER. the jacket? the pants? with the gloves? slay, frankie

#2

[ID: screencaps of frankie wearing knee high silver boots, a yellow lightning bolt earring, a black school vest with blue trim, a white button up, and a pleated skirt that is half yellow/black plaid and half black with one yellow striped accent. their belt has a chain that splits into three, and they are wearing their safety pin heart on their vest. end ID]

the half and half skirt? beautiful. the heart safety pins? the BOOTS? what a great first outfit to introduce us to them

#3

[ID: screencaps of frankie wearing a blue lightening bolt earring, a yellow plaid shirt under a white sweater vest with black line detail. their jeans have a hole under their right knee and above their left knee. above and below both holes, grommets have been placed with decorative thread placed between them. they are wearing two belts on their waist. frankie's shoes are platforms with blue and neon lime green/highlighter yellow. their bag is either leather or faux leather with studs. end ID]

fucking work, babe! i love belts and i love plaid

#4

[ID: screencaps of frankie wearing their pajamas which consist of a boxy fit yellow hoodie with wide armholes and black pants with numerous chunky zippers all along the legs. end ID]

i fucking want these jammies. the hoodie looks so damn comfy, and the pants are chic. i want that many zippers just to look cool

#5

[ID: screencaps of frankie wearing a sweater vest with white and pink trim, a white button up with a black studded collar, a skirt with three different types of plaid – blue, green, and yellow – distressed leggings, and two belts with dangling chains on the waist. they have a large pink electric bolt earring. end ID]

a similar outfit to fit #2, but i like the skirt less. i love the pop of pink and the collar on the button up is *chef's kiss* really, if it weren't for the skirt this would be look #2

#6

[ID: screencaps of frankie wearing a striped white and black shirt. the shirt is not one continuous cut of fabric; its stripes do not line up along the front of the bodice. frankie is wearing a black pleated skirt; on the pleats are grommets with blue laces threaded through them in an "x" pattern and tied at the bottom. under the skirt is the same pair of jeans from out #3. end ID]

the skirt is cute. love the reuse of the jeans; pieces of clothes are meant to mix and match! but the overall look just isn't as visually interesting to me. it does look very comfortable, tho. i'd wear it.

#7

[ID: the monster high: the movie poster for frankie stein. in it, they are wearing a white button up under a plain black dress. the only details on the dress are the belt sleeves and the matching belt frankie has placed on their waist. a neon green chain hangs from the belt. frankie is also wearing distressed leggings and black platform boots. end ID]

unless i just missed it somehow, i only saw this fit in the actual movie in a bust shot. so. on account of not seeing the full fit in the movie it gets last place even tho i like the dress

TTPD: Ranking

My personal ranking of the songs on The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology.

I love all the songs on the album!! The sound is very 1989/Midnights for the first half and then quickly shifts into a very Folklore/Evermore vibe in the second half (thank you Aaron Dessner) which I absolutely adore. So all in all, I love the mix of the songs. Some of them I like more than others, however.

The songs, in chronological order, with what I personally rank them on a scale from 1-10 (and technically 13 since a few of them I had to give an even higher score than 10 lol)

Fortnight - 9 stars (Great opening for the album honestly)

The Tortured Poets Department - 8 stars

My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys - 7 stars

Down Bad - 10 stars (this is a fucking banger)

So Long, London - 8 stars

But Daddy I Love Him - 6 stars

Fresh Out The Slammer - 9 stars (my little lawyer heart loves this obvi)

Florida!!! - 9 stars (another banger)

Guilty as Sin? - 7 stars

Who's Afraid of Little Old Me? - 11 stars (this is absolutely fantastic. My fave songs are always when she sings about herself, also why I love Anti-Hero so much. This feels the same to me and I love everything about it)

I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can) - 9 stars (the ending of this one is abosolutely perfect and exactly what I hoped for)

loml - 11 stars (absolutely beautiful piece)

I Can Do It With a Broken Heart - 11 stars (THIS IS AWESOME. We did theories before listening and it lives up exactly to what I had hoped which just felt very, very nice. The song is fun and beautiful and the beat is great and her outtro is just the best thing ever)

The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived - 9 stars (absolutely haunting)

The Alchemy - 9 stars (this was adorable)

Clara Bow - 7 stars

The Black Dog - 7 stars

imgonnagetyouback - 8 stars

The Albatross - 7 stars

Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus - 9 stars

How Did It End? - 8 stars

So High School - 10 stars (This made us all so giddy, I adore it)

I Hate It here - 12 stars (THIS IS PERFECTION. And too relatable honestly)

thanK you aIMee - 10 stars (This was so cunty and I adore it and I heavily relate to Andrea's feelings on Kim K, just saying)

I Look in People's Windows - 8 stars

The Prophecy - 11 stars (BEAUTIFUL. My Folklore heart was SOARING)

Cassandra - 8 stars

Peter - 9 stars

The Bolter - 13 stars (MY FAVORITE ON THE ALBUM. This hit WAY too close to home for me and I legit started sobbing and needed a moment after finishing. This hit me right in the gut. If you don't already know why then you can probably imagine LOL)

Robin - 6 stars

The Manuscript - 10 stars (this was gorgeous, and it definitely made me think about All Too Well and the manuscript for the music video and that made the lyrics even more profound to me)

rank speak now and folklore rn🤺

YESSSS

speak now

enchanted - ICONIC.

better than revenge - i have a soft spot for this song

dear john - SO SAD. and the bridge? come on

haunted - really angsty and scream-y

mine - idk it’s just very sweet and nostalgic

sparks fly - similar to mine but imo mine is a little better

the story of us - meh for me

back to december - a little boring but the bridge slaps

speak now - for the title track it’s not that good…

last kiss - i know everyone freaks out over the shaky breath but idk it’s just ok for me

long live - i don’t really listen to this song

mean - i cannot handle her voice in this

never grow up - same with mean, i don’t like her voice

innocent - kanye is not.

folklore

cardigan - you CANNOT TELL ME this isn’t the best song on this album. every line is so pretty but melancholy

peace - one of taylor’s best lyrics tbh

seven - say it with me: COMFORT. SONG. it’s just so beautifully written it makes me want to cry. also it kinda alludes to queerness…? whether that’s intentional or not idk but i’m here for it

invisible string - so delicate and inevitable and prettt

august - the. bridge. is. everything. i feel for august. i, too, want to be loved so madly….

my tears ricochet - this song is. good. like yes this is a good song but i don’t necessarily understand why it’s everyone’s favorite?

illicit affairs - how do i say this. i like this illicit affairs but i love ivy

mirrorball - absolutely devastating. i’m not a natural all i do is try try try

exile (ft. bon iver) - at first i didn’t really love the deeper vocals but then someone pointed out the contrast between the voices just further shows the incompatibility between the two characters and OH i love that

the 1 - underrated imo. i love the bridge

betty - i do not like the country accent. i do not like that it’s semi country(?). i certainly do not like james.

mad woman - i was listening to this song yesterday and i had a heart attack when she sang “or does she mouth-fuck you forever?”

this is me trying - the song is good but it’s a little too slow for me and i don’t really feel taylor’s emotion in her voice as much as say. mirrorball

the last great american dynasty - playful but meh

epiphany - it’s. fine

hoax - its. also fine

right now it's like this:

folklore

Speak Now

1989

evermore

Red

Fearless

Lover (except for one (!) song 😭 this album has some of the best ones she's written imo, it's also where i realized i love in love taylor more than the brokenhearted one)

reputation (it's only this low because i'm not as personally attached to it as a whole and also because there's no more slot lol)

Debut

Midnights

i'm sorry to midnights truthers but it's just....it's her weakest album (for me!) and i just couldn't connect to it sooo 😔
