I've always interpreted the "fuck the patriarchy" line as calling out his hypocrisy - he took advantage of Taylor's youth and treated her poorly, despite his performative feminism.

@DeadSezSo 6 ай бұрын

I 1000% agree but I do want to just point out that he was absolutely oblivious to his hypocrisy and could definitely have grown into a more authentic feminist. Only reason I say this is because sometimes people mean well but their immaturity/ego etc gets in the way when they are young. But that doesn't mean they can't be authentic feminists once they grow up some and gain some perspective. Hell, even Taylor had to grow into a more authentic feminist as she got older and realized some of her lyricism and behavior didn't quite represent her feminism in a manner that met her intended standard.

The “fuck the patriarchy” is in quotes so I assume it’s written on his keychain. He’s a Brooklyn hipster with his nod to feminism. Yet he tosses the keys at her and misses. He dates a girl way too young for him and then blames her. He manipulates and gaslights. He shows us that his feminist beliefs are as surface-level as his key chain.

Or because she is the definition of basic mainstream dribble and her music doesnt appeal to us. She had some decent tunes in her earlier days when she was more country but i am not into pop music so the transition has pushed me away from her and i never liked much of her earlier work to begin with. Then you also have the subject matter. Not relatable or appealing to me. But mostly for me its the fans- it a bunch of shrieking hive mind boombaclats are telling me i have to love it, its nearly a guarantee i will not. I would rather listen to other female led projects, like Destiny Potatoe, or Jinger, or Spirit Box to name a few. I would rather listen to Erykah Badu, or Lauren Hill. I would rather listen to Diane Ross and the Supremes. You assuming bigotry is the reason people dont like her is exactly why her fans are insufferable. Most people are dumb, so just because a bunch of people like it doesnt make it good. A bunch of people used to like JaRule too😂

Plus, Jake and Maggie were indie flick royalty back then.

Jake Gyllenhaal and Taylor are both Sagittarius, which is the "fire" sign. So "Did the twin flame bruise paint you blue" is a reference to that. She wrote this song in a stream of consciousness, all in one sitting, when she was 21(for her RED album!). She's 34 now. And Jake's girlfriends are still in their 20s. Taylor called that, didn't she? 😉

Knox, the actress who found Taylor in a party bathroom is either Jennifer Anniston or Anne Hathaway, they both have mentioned running into her in a bathroom around the time of her dating Jake. The story behind how this song was created was amazing. Taylor was rehearsing for the Speak Now tour and she was playing her guitar while venting about the whole relationship. She went on for about ten to fifteen minutes. Her mom went to the sound guy at the venue and got the whole thing on CD because they were recording. The studio made Taylor cut down the song to 5 minutes when it first came out on Red, but told everyone it was originally 10 minutes but no one wants to listen to a 10 minute song. With the re-records, she gave her fans the number one thing they wanted, the full unedited All Too Well. It’s become something of a Swiftie anthem.

This girl? She’s a true lyricist 🤘 Why does she get so much love and hate? Man, how much time do u have??? Basically: misogyny, jealousy, media narrative, coming up so young, singing about relationships, looking like a stereotypical princess and leaning into that when she was younger and people use that as an excuse to not really listen to what she’s saying. I could on and on. What I’ve found is that people give her art a chance, there’s probably something in her discography that will speak to an experience they’ve gone through.

I completely respect people who listen to her music beyond her radio hits and find it’s not for them. (Although I would argue that she has 10 albums and many re-recorded bonus tracks that range in style from country to pop to hip hop to indie folk and there is something for everyone.) It’s the people who see her incessant media coverage, which is WAY TOO MUCH at the moment, and just decide she’s awful and mainstream and over-hyped, etc. None of that is true but she can’t control the media. She just puts her head down and works.

I probably sound so cynical, and I’d like to think I’m wrong, but this reaction reeks of someone who did research ahead of time to me. To hit almost every point like that and ‘get’ it on your first listen is wildly unlikely (especially as someone relstively new to her music), and he appeared at times to be glancing at pre-made notes. It’s not a crime, isn’t that much of a big deal, and it makes for a video that Swifties will absolutely eat up, but it’s something I’ve noticed as a thread through most of his Taylor reactions (making the dollar bill connection in the LWYMMD music video, for example). Some seasoned Swifties might miss things like that on their first listen/watch, but he consistently reacts to them with that disingenuous ‘huh?’ look immediately followed by a clear commentary of what he thinks is being referenced that’s almost always on the nose.

The old Taylor (the one that had her reputation destroyed) died, her reputation was destroyed "killing" her. She then "rose from the dead" stronger and better than EVER before with the release of reputation. I could rant longer about how INCREDIBLE reputation is but I have to stop myself.

She is an Icon. Biggest pop star in the world. Self-made billionaire. Not famous for any sex tapes. Or ridiculous family reality shows. She is a very savvy businesswoman. She has such a kind heart. She donates a lot of money to charities. Never signs her name. She has given huge amounts of bonuses to her dancers, band members, backup vocalists, all stage hands, truck drivers.. Like over $100,000 a piece. She has won 12 Grammys, 39 Billboard Music Awards, and 40 American Music Awards. 16 People Choice Awards. Holds 101 World Records. She writes her own music and all of her songs. And for others. I like a lot of her music. She's a lyrical genius. And her bridges.. Wow. People bitch because she writes about her breakups. Well, she writes about other things as well. It's her life, her emotions. Her feelings. Other musicians write about their feelings as well.. Rappers, Country artist, R&B, other popstars.. Perhaps not as well as she does, well, definitely not as well as she does.. 😊

I’ll give you the short version of why she gets hate: she writes catchy songs that speak to a large array of people, and most people don’t have that talent, and they’re jealous. Throw in the fact that she’s attractive and kind, and that just gives people more ammo. People HATE what they can’t be.

The story about this songs creation was told by Swift in an interview. She said after this breakup ( we know now it was JG) she was feeling so bad and on a plane with her 23:34 band. They were jamming without her. She picked up her guitar and started to pour out this song. The band realizing what was happening stopped and picked up the sounds with her. After her mom went to her sound guy( I think) and asked I hope you got a recording of that and he did. Later when putting the album together her mom went to the story board for her upcoming album and said it had to be in it. Taylor is brilliant.

jake was 29 and taylor was 20 when they started dating; 16:57 even though he tried to convince taylor that the age gap contributed to the fall out, she points out that he has consistently (to this day) always dated people significantly younger than him (he has a 16yr age gap with his current gf). the twin flame line - this may be a call back to her song "state of grace" on the same album (red), where she talks about having the "twin fire signs" - both taylor and jake are sags (fire signs)

I think the f the patriarchy line is supposed to show his hypocrisy. He has that keychain basically claiming he's a feminist and all that, but at the same time he's throwing them on the ground instead of simply handing them to her. If you watch the short film, you'll understand it better. Edit: The song is supposedly about Jake Gyllenhaal. He was 29, she was 20. I believe they ended it after he didn't show up to her 21st birthday party even though he promised her he would (hence the 'you call me up again just to break me like a promise', 'weeping in the bathroom' and 'he watched me watch the front door willing you to come'). She explains that whole situation in the song The moment I knew. Very good song, totally recommend giving it a listen.

I've wondered why people hate her so much too and I come up with men feeling like there needs to be some sort of solidarity in embarrassment. People--particularly men but a lot of women haters do this too--go right to her 'dating a lot' as a put down. But like Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, Scar-Jo, ... every. single. male star. ever... have demonstrably dated around far more than her. But the only difference I see is she writes about them. And the men from the songs she writes are embarrassed. And then other men feel this need to put her down on those guys' behalf. That's all I've come up with. Also, they call her fake or calculated. Ummmm she's survived 20 years in the music industry. I'd assume she is very good at business and part of that is media management and being able to be 'on' at certain times and project an image. She wouldn't have lasted a year if she didn't. And I guess people say her songs are 'immature' and then reference a song she wrote at 15. Which of course. But when I was 16 dude that song was everything. And now that she and I are the same age, I see so much to connect with on a metaphorical level in her music. It's evolved but people don't want to try to be open minded.

She mentions him being wealthy pretentious yet wanting to appear as a “hipster” lowkey only liking underground indie music kind of guy in the song “I bet you think about me”. Daaaaamn. Poor Jake. She’s so good it’s scary man. I feel like some of her songs should come with a warning label.

„All too well“ is about Jake Gyllenhaal. When they were dating she was 20/21 and he was 30. When the Album „Red“ was released, only the shortened 5 minute version of „All too well“ was released, but I think she mentioned in an interview that it had been originally written as a 10 Minute song. The Swifties kept asking for the original version and when she re-recorded the album and released „Red (Taylor’s Version)“, we got the 10 minute version as a Vault Track (those are songs that she written for the original album, but the songs didn’t make the cut. Now that she‘s releasing the Taylor’s Version, we get to hear some of them on the albums they were intended for) Just as a bit of a background information :)

@kellyprang611 6 ай бұрын

She sings in this song about a relationship that ends, then is attempted to start again (3 months in the grave is when he finally told her he loved her), which always reminds me that We Are Never Ever Grtting Back Together is also believed to be about the same relationship as this song is. So, he stood her up on her 21st birthday, then tried to play that down, then they got back together, which he wanted to keep a secret, then they broke up a few more times and she finally had to say it is over, no more, we are never getting back together, like ever. Makes a bit more sense why she was so excited to turn 22 and really made that into a big deal after her 21st birthday was ruined.
