The hot new club is The Tortured Poets Department. It has everything: alcoholism, suicidal ideation, infidelity, mental breakdowns, drug addicted losers, pathetic little men, insane bop, defiance of fans, god complexes, near debilitating self-hatred, radical exceptance
something that's actually SO sad to me is the fact that Joe is not all over this album in a super in-your-face, extremely obvious kind of way. PLEASE don't get me wrong, I think how she wrote the album makes PERFECT sense based on the circumstances in her life (the rebound, the manic phase, etc.) and this is not a critique of that! I actually love the dissolution of a "specific muse" writing concept for a lot of the songs on this album and I love how that writing choice really forces the listener to see Taylor as the main character in her own life and story rather than as a vector for drama. BUT, that being said!!! Joe was her entire world for such a long time and she wrote SOOOO much music extrapolating on the beginning of their romance and when times were good in their relationship. She very clearly articulated that she expected them to be a forever thing. and then to go from that to just....nothing super specific? absolutely wild. I mean I know we have So Long, London and How Did It End? but to only have TWO TRACKS out of THIRTY-ONE specifically about the demise of a six and a half year relationship with the person you thought was going to be your forever partner... that's so sad!!! that's so crazy!!!! that's so heartbreaking!!!!! how bad must it have been for her to go from writing songs like Lover and Cornelia Street and CIWYW and willow to literally not even knowing what to say!?!? how did it end indeed!!!!!!!
literally any upper middle class tiktok self-identified ‘that girl’ in a pastel workout set with a thirteen step skincare routine and a green juice is a million times closer to being patrick bateman irl than any self-identified sigma film bro
accidentally indulged in too much ‘me time’, turns out i’ve been reported missing for over six months and presumed dead by most local and national authorities
