Taylor does not give all her exes the fault. Also songs are a point of view in a moment. She gives clear reasons in so long London but also declares in how did it end that she doesn‘t understand how it ended.

@PeaceIsWork 23 күн бұрын

Exactly, it’s so ludicrous how people love to blame her and say she lacks awareness and always plays the victims. She had incredible awareness since a teenager. And she’s artist, people will not take a novel or a fictional movies and think everything in their is like a documentary. She said it already, she process her feelings and deals with life through creating music. People are so silly, it’s no wonder this album has many songs telling people to mind their own business lol

I don't think So High School was as explicit as you made it out to be. Most of the references were specific to things they have said in interviews, podcast, videos of them in public etc. Yes she has younger fans, but remember she is 34 yrs old and most of her fans are 18 and older. The youngest fans are more than likely children of her fans in their 30/40s

Fellow therapist here. Also a swifty. In Chloe or Sam or Sofia or Marcus, i think a lot of people miss the word "decade" in the beginning. It's about her not pursuing a relationship with someone she loved, then watching them descend into addiction while she moved on with her life. She always wonders if she had known how to help him or decided to pursue the relationship back then, might everything be different. She mentions that they were both a mess when they first met and that she was too young to know what to do and she 'deserted' him. But they both watched each other move on through the years. That's why she says if he says "i loved you the way that you were" is how to break her cold heart. He turned her into an idea through the years, the one that got away - and they both always wondered "what if". By the time they reconnect and give it a shot, it doesn't work outbecause they are so changed by time. I've heard this story a lot from people who leave addicts and watch them sink further after they leave. I didn't know anything about Matty Healy on first listen so i second guessed my interpretation at first. Once i looked into it, i found that apparently they met in 2014 and seems like they had a short private affair of some sort, and he has been open about going into rehab for hard drugs in 2017. This song really puts the whole album into context for me since it seems she finally got the courage to end things with Joe because she wanted to try again with Matty since he was finally sober and they had both grown up. She found out quite quickly that he was not a reformed as he portrayed.

I need you to remember she is 34 years old. She may have younger fans but that’s because she was young when she recorded her old music and she can’t go back and make it less appealing to teens. However she is allowed to sing her age. The woman is an adult. For awhile

At least 50% of her audience is 30 and older. The younger crowd is because their parents have introduced them to Taylor Swift.

With the Olivia and Tyalor situation many many people have framed it incorrectly, claiming Taylor sued Olivia for a bridge she did (for deja vu) when she didnt, at all, Taylor never asked for credits and never sued. Olivia had just stated the bridge was inspired by Taylors Cruel Summer and credited her whether it was by her own will or advised by her team, Taylor never sued. That was just a narrative the media has portrayed as the truth when we know for a fact she never sued. That "That ill sue you if you step on my lawn" line would be about how everyone thinks she does stuff like that, where anyone who crosses into her lane or touches whats hers (idk the charts and songs and stuff) theyll be in trouble. Its real funny bc people are still claiming this. Hundreds of people are under some odd belief Taylor is out to get Billie bc she released some voice memos around the same time Billie released her album, apparently she was "blocking" her or wtv, bc Taylor just loves to horde the charts and thats apparently the only reason she releases stuff. Its ridiculous. The irony since this song has been out for like a month now lmao.

While that’s true you can’t also deny that something shifted between the two of them after the whole Deja Vu/Cruel Summer bs went down. She might not have sued Olivia but it’s not far fetched to think that there was likely some pressure from Taylor’s team to credit her & Jack. Taylor didn’t have to accept those credits bc let’s be real, it’s unwarranted. Whatever similarities the two songs have are so subtle you had to be looking for them to notice. Or, she could’ve at least acknowledged that the credits aren’t necessary like Paramore did w Misery Business/Good 4 U & those particular riffs are MUCH MORE similar to each other. Olivia might’ve given credit without being literally sued but you can’t tell me nothing went down between the two behind the scenes or that it’s as simple as Olivia willingly giving credit without any input from Taylor & her team. It makes no sense for there to be palpable tension between Taylor & Olivia if Olivia gave those credits without being prompted by Taylor’s team. So, I don’t believe that Taylor never asked for credits. I think what ppl are forgetting is that Taylor’s legal team is massive & powerful. She doesn’t ever have to literally sue to put legal pressure on most other parties to do what she wants. There’s also the factor that had Olivia not given into whatever pressure she was put on to give those credits that would’ve been more disastrous for her career. Had Taylor literally sued, even w her massive legal team, she would’ve likely lost bc she has no evidence that’s enough to hold up in court. However, the real jury that would’ve sank Olivia’s career is Taylor’s incredibly loyal-sometimes to a fault-fanbase. There are so many Swifties out there who literally think she could do no wrong so even if Taylor loses that court battle, she’d still come out on top & there goes Olivia’s career! Don’t get me wrong, I’m a big fan of Taylor but I don’t agree w the idea that she’s a victim of false perception when it comes to that whole Deja Vu/Cruel Summer drama. What it seems like to me is she or someone in her team heard that Olivia was inspired by a tiny part of Cruel Summer & she or someone in her team thought that means she’s deserving of songwriter credits in Deja Vu when Deja Vu became as big as it did. Whether the driving factor was greed or power play, idk but I don’t believe for a second that she’s a completely innocent party. We all know how passive aggressive & petty Taylor can get-she acknowledges it herself in “who’s afraid of little old me?”. Inviting Sabrina AND Hayley Williams to open for her wasn’t exactly subtle. Yeah, her & Hayley have been friends for years but let’s bffr-it’s also statement.

I don't get the people saying "she's the common denominator" - before her 6 year relationship, she was about 26-27, a time when many people go through many breakups. Young people are not expected to know everything, and *many* young people fall victim to manipulators like she did at the age of 19. Again, *young people* should not be expected to know how to detect red flags in their teens and early twenties. So the quote above is just unrealistic - everyone goes through breakups why? Because relationships are hard.

I agree. In her documentary, Miss Americana, she says this was her last chance to be successful due to her age… then her star rose when they both least expected it. He wasn’t possessive. She went on tv shows, put out albums, did a tour, etc. When they got together she too wanted to be out of the public eye and repeatedly said they BOTH wanted their relationship private. But I think she changed her feelings on that once she became popular again.

Yeah, in the songs apparently about Joe, Taylor seems to meditate more on the tortured demise of what had been a promising relationship with a good man, and some of the prime years essentially wasted trying to carry on with what would ultimately be a failed venture. She doesn't really bear him any ill will, she's simply mourning the end of their time together and trying to figure out where it went wrong. The (surprisingly many) songs about Matty are altogether different. There's more anger and disgust with him and how he manipulated her - especially right after her relationship with Joe ended. Regardless of whether his struggles with drug addiction were the prime reason, his treatment of her was rather reprehensible. Then again, what Healey did probably helped break the spell he'd long had over her, making her more open to being courted by someone who is rather different from the guys she'd fallen for, in the past. So far, so good. Let's hope it stays that way.

Listen to Dress from her 2016 Reputation album and So High School will seem tame lol. There’s the misconception that her fans are 13-year-old little girls. But the thing is is that we grew up too and didn’t stay that age forever. The majority of her fans are adults now; I went to the Eras tour and nearly everyone was my age (27yo). And if there were kids, it was fans who had grown up and had kids that became fans. She’s been in the music game for close to 20 years now 🙂 btw, this wasn’t written with a snarky tone; just wanted to clear up some misinformation I hear a lot.

@clarem8784 19 күн бұрын

I love "So HIgh School." Taylor was ... 17? when she became famous. I think she missed out on a lot of HS stuff because she was trying to learn how to write songs, recording, singing in parking lots, etc. Also, it seems like most of her boyfriends were people that she thought were better than her in some way- older, more experienced( and it also seemed to not treat her very well and dumped her in pretty mean ways it seems,) then she got with Joe who seemed like a good guy but he just couldn't do the public part of her life... And that was okay during quarantine and during the time she wasn't around because of the Kanye/ Kim incident but... She is bejeweled. She needs to shine. And with this record she really made a point that it was hard on her not being out in public with the person that was her person. I have a person like that and I understand it's. It's very frustrating and it's depressing. It makes you feel like they don't support you at all. So then she meets Travis Kelce who went out of his way to get an introduction-- Even though he is quite famous on his own. So meeting famous people isn't all that hard for him. So when they hit her off he doesn't actually care about being out in public with her. In fact, he is very impressed with her and likes to be out in public with her. One of her first videos was one where she is kind of jealous of a cheerleader... I can't remember what song it is. I'm an older swifty and I'm not the type that has every freaking thing memorized. But when I see her so excited about being appreciated. It's it's just really cool and I'm happy for her.

You listened in a 'shuffle' pattern, so sonically you heard it differently. A lot of people on first listen from start to finish thought it was 'same sounding' but after time or with shuffling or when focusing on individual tracks, they realize it really isn't. This album tells a story of the breakup of a long-term relationship, the immediate rekindling of a long-lived flirtation/old flame with someone unstable and creative that many didn't approve of that burned hot and died fast. So she was then suffering double heartbreak. Then we touch on her new love. Such an experience here.

Who’s afraid of little old me isn’t just about the media but the general public who always find reasons to attack her for no reason. In any situation they criticize her and she tries to constantly mold herself to please people but they find new reasons to hate her. “I am what I am cause you trained me.” She had to learn to be calculated because at the start of her career she was kind and polite and had to adapt to protect herself . “I was tame I was gentle til the circus life made me mean. Don’t you worry folks we took out all her teeth.” A reference to what role old circus leaders did to circus animals so that they could abuse them without being hurt.

The hurt Taylor express in the Smallest Man Who Ever Lived, seems like its was a heartbreak made worse since she was already heartbroken. Its been speculated matty and taylor had a situationship for awhile, on and off before she dated joe and possibly having feelings on and off for matty,, and they made it official shortly after Joe and Taylor broke up. Whether or not thats true, its like shooting someone whos already on the verge of death, just to make sure they felt it. Thats what I understand from the bridge alone. Also in terms of Taylor being friends before dating, I really agree with that, tho its also pretty out there that her and Joe were friends originally, and then became something more after time. Joe was good to her, I dont believe he was a bad guy or intended to hurt her, it would've been something over time which had changed in the both of them realising they dont want the same thing (learning steps to different dances type of thing) I think Taylor is just desperate, like she wont just pt herself out like "Im free to date anyone" or anything but shes always sung about finding someone like the one person for her. I hope Travis and her last, and I hope they can be happy, I also hope the public stays as much out of it as they can bc thats also what effects relationships.

A lot of the songs on this album are about Matty Healey. They had a relationship 10 years ago when they were around 25. They stayed friends and became closer as friends (platonically) as the Joe Alwyn relationship was petering out. When Taylor finally left Joe, just as the Eras tour got underway, she called Matty and he flew to FL where she was performing. They built a love relationship on their friendship that was very passionate (rebound) and then Matty (who has an acknowledged drug problem) ghosted her after a month and it really broke her because he was her friend who helped get her through the end of that previous relationship and so it was the end of both a great passion and a longtime friendship.

This song(loml), to me, is so representative of the devastation of gas lighting. The loss of the life promised, the dream, and it wasn't real at all. It was counterfeit. It's not the words, it's the promise those words evoke. Her pain is obvious. Feeling loss over something that wasn't real just makes that pain so much worse. As for Kim..... when Kim/Kenye put the recording out, they called it proof that TS lied. That led to backlash on Twitter. "TS the party is over" started trending on Twitter, went to #1. That's millions of people expressing how much they hate TS. She disappeared for a year. Many thought her career was over. She came back with her Reputation album, which was a hit, and her tour was huge. Kim's son's name is Saint, so if you know the back story, there is so much word play in the song.

@jaylynn8630 15 күн бұрын

I like the way you broke The Manuscript down, but there's a second meaning you missed. Speculation among fans is that this song is about All Too Well (and by extension, every other song she writes), which she directed a short film for (and probably wrote a literal manuscript for). She's said before that she initially found it incredibly difficult to perform the song, because it was about such a painful experience, but after she performed it for fans, that began to transform what the song meant to her, and turn it into a song she could enjoy performing. You could also say it's kind of death-of-the-author; she writes based on her experiences, and when she puts out those songs, they gain new life and meaning in the way her listeners connect with and relate to them. And that's the other meaning of her saying "the story isn't mine anymore."

Taylor is turning 35 this year. Her first real explicit songs came out when she was like 27, surely not when she was underage. Taylor has also never claimed to be making music for a specific young audience. She has fans supporting her since the beginning of her carreer in 2006 and these people are about her age. It's also not her responsibility to control what other people's children listen to! And it isn’t like her songs actually describe actual s3x explicitly. Sure, she mentions touches, taking clothes off and stuff like that, which is so normal! She is a woman, not a young girl! She can sing about getting laid without causing this kind of fuss.

About thanK you aIMee, I do suspect that she is talking to more people than just Kim Kardashian, here. A couple times, she has mentioned being bullied sometimes at school. I don't know to what degree or for how long, but I strongly suspect that there are actual people from her childhood who really will have their kid come home singing this song that only they will know is about them. Heck, maybe one of them is actually named some variation of "Amy"!

@tsounism526 27 күн бұрын

1:07:56 “the same searing pain” I think she’s relating this line to the massive bullying she experienced in school and how that followed her into fame by so many but Kim & Kanye rlly set the bar by framing her thru an edited phone call (out of the blue - even after Kanye & Taylor made amends for the award stunt, i shud mention, the full call was leaked years later after the damage was done) Kim went to lengths of calling her a snake 🐍 As a result, Taylor was bombarded by the media, some “fans”, celebs (tooo many ppl) bullying her online and canceling her. She completely disappeared from the public for a little over a year I think, that’s when she bonded with Joe (6yr relationship) so one can imagine how attached to him she felt. When everyone turned their back on her, he was there. She made her return to the public by dropping her studio album ‘Reputation’ w/zero indication before doing so just Bam 💥. It’s all pretty deep, everything with her is deep and so brutally honest hence you start to feel like you’re actually getting to know her in a sense as opposed to an artists “character” she is loved and appreciated by an abundantly large scale of ppl from all walks of life and ages. She’s also done a lot to improve the music industry and has conquered/created awareness over challenges Prince & MJ tried so hard to make the public aware of. Her lyrics have become a little more explicit b/c while she cares for the youth and does a decent job at keeping them in mind, she is genuinely & authentically expressing her experiences as a 34yo women (in a cathartic way no less). Yep, I love her 🫶

The media would criticize her for things would never criticize Beyounce for example. Taylor having started in the country music then turned pop and became extremely successful even there irked the liberal media because they believed her to be conservative, add to that misogyny in general in all sectors of society. She was bullied in the music industry as well, and by feminists when she’s actually THE feminist icon for millions of girls. Taylor had to fight to own her music, to put the truth out there when people smeared her and lied about facts almost ending her career, and also against the constant sexism about women in general. You can’t get along when people are coming for you, you have to defend yourself. She gets along with her exes who were respectful of her and works with them, but manipulators should be exposed this helps the little girls who listen to her to understand what is out there and to learn from her mistakes and recognize the signs of groomers and manipulators. She also has many songs on her own mistakes and faults (I wouldn’t marry me either, a pathological people pleaser) but people never speak of that and continue to repeat the same BS that she only blames others. That’s because she exposed as a teenager Mayers who was a legend at the time and destroyed him, so many in the industry and media hate her for it. To be fair she isn’t the only woman who said he was toxic but she was masterful in doing it. She’s fearless and that irks powerful men and women. Even now, she doesn’t care about industry rules. She does what she believes is right and her fans support her, and those holding the gates are MAD

I'm sure someone has said, Kim edited a tape of a phone call with Kanye. Supposedly Taylor okayed Kanye saying it was okay for him to call her a Bitch in his song. When Taylor was upset about the B-word, Kim released the edited tape that made it look like Taylor was a liar and a snake. Several years later, the real un-edited tape came out showing Taylor didn't lie. Kim refused to apologize. Kim wants Taylor to move on. Like all bullies do, right? You need to get over it. Only bullies say that.

I disagree with the idea that she’s the common denominator in all bad relationships. People who say that are superficial and don’t even know that she’s had diff kind of relationships ending in different ways. Many women face similar situation of toxic men because that’s what is out there…It’s not the 50s. Young girls and women date a lot, as do boys and men, and they are all still too young to understand what love and relationships are. That’s how they get to know each other. It’s totally fine. Stop being puritans. As they mature so do their relationships. And let’s not forget her life , none of us have e half of her experience, or know the kind of men she gets to meet. Most women get sexually abused in the music industry. It’s so easy to judge without bothering to understand. Plus people who are always challenging boundaries and status quo, take risks constantly, and that’s what she does with people, her music, and men. What mega pop star would date a footballer? Yet, she doesn’t care about what people think. And she has said that in this Album over and over. If she wants to end her career for a boy, it’s her fkn choice.

I really love your reaction because it is very similar to how i listen to her song, especially your reaction during lomf. As a lazy swiftie, i just listen for her music and am not really interested in her side story, tho i do tho about them as it helps me understand the song better. What drew me to her music is how beautifully she write her lyrics in the way that you can really paint the picture and feel the emotion, almost as if you're watching a movie. And ofc it youve been through the feelings it hits wven harder. So when I see you reacting to lomf and you feel sad for the character in the song, how she fell from her imaginary paradise and couldnt wake up in the morning, i really relate to it, as a human to another human. I feel her pain and loss and sadness despite not knowing (or caring) who she dated or what exactly happened.

Everyone was speculating and gossiping and seemed to think they were entitled to know why they broke up. "Did you hear they called it all off? One gasp and then "how did it end"?" That perfectly echos the way people were shocked and sympathetic for about 3 seconds before demanding all the "juicy" details. Edit: made this comment at the time stamp I mentioned.

It is interesting though that Joe IS a star in the UK as an actor. They met at the MET gala which he was invited to because he was already famous in his country. He was no where near her level of fame and he wasn’t really known in America but as an actor isn’t that the ultimate goal to be in movies or tv that are global successes?

Wolverine and I know flavor. Flav has made it public that he wants to be one of her besties. She went on a summer vacation after her break up with Cindy Crawford, and her husbandlast year I believe for the year before when you reach a certain age all the years blurred together and in bad blood Crawford and Marika Hagas, or however, you pronounce that from that Taylor loves her she even has a cat Benson after her character on SVU

I don’t think she had therapy, but she did admit to having eating disorders and also severe body dysmorphia in the anti-video here, hero or antihero video music video. The original her is standing on a scale when the one the bad influence one that knocked on the door because she was like looking down at the scale and shaking her head. Initially it said fat and I guess people went crazy because I don’t even know if Taylor has an inch of fat on her, but is a shame that that got taken out because that would definitely be a really good conversation topic I don’t think people know what body dysmorphia is or what the different eating disorders necessarily are or sign to look out for your friends because they hide it often times so when she met Joe, she had fly the country because of what Kim and Kim did with the phone call and she wouldn’t even come out of her like Airbnb for a year and when she started emerging, she started seeing Joe around a lot so he stepped in when she was broken and I think she tried to keep her broken so he could always be the hero. Otherwise then he was known as like Mr. Swift since she would be the major provider so even if relationship with Travis doesn’t last I think this is gonna be a huge learning lesson and other way she deserves to be treated versus the way she has been treated, honestly based on Travis‘s past, I don’t know that his intentions aren’t good but I do know that he has no problem talking about holding your hand until you leave if he can’t protect her like how is he supposed to help his boys on the field and it nobody’s been like that before She’s always. I think I like pretentious sort of be a victim otherwise they were intimidated. Hope that helps you a little bit or at least help me a little bit figuring stuff out and when you see the video of Fortnite, I believe you’re in the age class that you will know the Easter egg, the people that she has guest starring in the end they are from the original movie and I believe the last two alive from that movie
