taylor swift is insane. it's official that she wants me to kill myself.
looking through my eras tour vids (cause post concert depression is real) and found this absolute GEM
Agreed. I really wanted her to say something coz she of all people know the impact online harassment can have on a person's mental health considering she faced it herself at a point in her life. So her silence on the whole thing sort of ruined her for me.
Is it just me or the songs on The Tortured Poets Department sound the same? It's like they all blend together at some point....at first listen there is not one song stuck in my head. And this is coming from someone who genuinely enjoys her music ...Red is one of my faves. You could swap the songs from Midnights and TTPD and I wouldn't be able to tell. I think she should start working with a new producer. Although I stopped being a fan since the breakup, I was still looking forward to new music .... I was excited for what new sound she would explore but it was disappointing to hear the same old repetitive Jack Antonoff synth pop genre.
She probably needs a break .... all this hyper production in the past few years with so many albums and their multiple versions must have had an impact on her creativity and quality...also a lot of lyrics are just......eh I don't know the right words, but she can do better for an artist of her magnitude and caliber.
Also, I feel like the aesthetic for the album does not match the music...like the dark academia/old books thing doesn't really go with the songs for me. Again, they sound a lot like something from Midnights due to the production so probably that's why I feel like that.
Another thing, the album seems to be mostly about the 1975 dude, but the marketing pointed to Joe Alwyn which led to him being harassed by her fans and she did nothing. That was horrible of her. It's these kinds of things that led me to leave that fandom. Even Ariana put out a statement when she released her new album.
Overall, I expected a better album from her. She really needs to take a break. The overexposure and overproduction are not looking good.
Taylor Swift having the balls to tell Joe Alwyn “do something, babe, say something, lose something, babe, risk something” when he’s the one speaking up about Palestine and she isn’t in fear of risking her career or whatever will never not be funny to me

Every since I found out the lyrics are actually “he looks up grinning like a devil” and that they refer to Taylor being completely exasperated by his lack of response after yelling that she’s completely in love with him, and he’s simply GRINNING AND SMUG ABOUT IT, I’ve since been screaming the line and wildly throwing my arms to gesture at an invisible person in the corner to show that I too AM REACHING A NEW LEVEL OF FRUSTRATION
Good times. Mr. Big Reputation had strict prohibitions on what he could and could not do? That's funny, because he seemed very unproblematic. His only real problem was that he didn't like Taylor's music.
I miss Toe (and his Toe pictures)! 😢 Karlie, can we get another Toe picture from you instead? 🙏
I feel like I need to put this out before it all consumes me, those who need to put Joe down to pull Travis or Taylor surely didn't grow out of their highschool mentality. Sometimes people don't work out, are not ready to get married, and want to keep private life "private" to keep the peace. And sometimes love is not enough for two very fundamentally different people to stay and work it out together. Doesn't make either of them a bad/worse person. Also, someone else's win/networth in life isn't equivalent to how happy that person is.
Tbh, I got to know joe when he started dating Taylor however from that moment onwards I have nothing but respect for him, his future work and his perspective. Few people in this entertainment line have integrity like him or his family.
Swifities need to let go of this mentality. We are the reason Taylor got the serial dater labels. And a fandom that has grown so much with Taylor, it all became worthless because of this kind of behaviour.
Just let it all go!
P.s. this for swfities only, not for TAYLOR! I'm a swfitie myself. Thank you. Any hate comment about Taylor will be deleted and not entertained!
okay let's get into my thoughts of each track based on the titles: Track 1 - Fortnight (ft. Post Malone) POST MALONE??? i swear, i'm not joking, i had like a dream or a thought a little while ago that was like "lmao what if taylor collaborated with post malone what would that be like- she would never tho that would be crazy" so ig i manifested it?? ngl i don't listen to post malone and i haven't heard many of his songs. except i think that one song about circles that was on the radio a lot a while ago when i would listen to the radio all the time was his song. it was fine, kind of annoying tho once i heard it too much. i'm really not sure what to expect with the song, but i do like the title. a fortnight is two weeks so i'm curious if time will have a significance in this track, let alone the album. she wore a clock choker last night and kept asking Tree if her watch was set correctly, apparently to midnight, so i have a feeling time may be a theme within the album. idk but fortnight just gives me middle ages castle vibes so i'm curious if this song will have modern vibes, old hollywood vibes, or like ancient vibes when it comes to setting.
Track 2 - The Tortured Poets Department the titular track!! okay i genuinely have no ideas whatsoever for what this song could be about. maybe another anti-hero/yoyok type song? or even like a mastermind/labyrinth type love song? tbh idk- im really curious to hear other theories or opinions on this track so pls share !!
Track 3 - My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys 101% about a bf who once treasured and loved their relationship starts letting it die (cough joe cough). that phrase is so powerful because it provides the perfect imagery to show "yeah he loved me a lot, but he also hurt me" whether or not he knew it, he did it. this title definitely gives me like poetry title vibes so i'm curious what not only the lyrics will be but what the actual musical element will sound like.
Track 4 - Down Bad OH BOY A DELUSIONAL TRACK YES PLEASE. i can already tell that a running theme within this album is like wanting someone you can't have or loving someone too much that it's an issue. oh boy am i ready for the down bad delusional song this track will give us. i'm really hoping it'll be more of a happy delusional than a sad unrequited love delusion because i could see it going in that direction and as clever as that is i would like to be supported in my delusions. i'm really excited for this song.
Track 5 - So Long, London I HAVE BEEN WAITING TO TALK ABOUT THIS ONE OMG. THIS IS THE WHOLE REASON IM MAKING THIS POST. OH BOY. OKAY SO. the parallel to London Boy is CLEAR. bye bye joe. FAREWELL. we are officially done and over. there is no way in which i can look at this track title and not think "this is about joe" because it just so clearly is and i am HERE for it. i am curious if it's going to be a bad bitch call-out track or a sad mourning track...we'll just have to wait and see ig! (just realized it's a track 5 so it could be more emotional, but maybe she'll go a different route this time? i don't know but it'll be great fs)
Track 6 - But Daddy I Love Him OH MY GOD. as a lesbian it's frustrating that i'm sure many of these songs will be heavy on the "he's a boy" so it'll be harder for me to sing along earnestly, BUT that being said...i CANNOT WAIT for this track. i honestly don't know what the vibe will be for it but i'm sure it's phenomenal and i can't wait to hear it.
Track 7 - Fresh Out the Slammer is this a phrase? am i out of the loop? hold on lemme look it up..okay all i've learned is that there are several other songs with this same name. truly have no clue what this could be.
Track 8 - Florida!!! (ft. Florence + The Machine) i. i don't even know what to expect. i think i might just expect nothing because that way i'll definitely be surprised and delighted.
