taylor says fuck on this new album
ᚠᚱᛖᛃᚨ
which I also quite like so far
ᚠᚱᛖᛃᚨ
did kanye postpone his album for this? are we finally done with kanye v taylor?
kronprins
I’m obsessed with this album already
kronprins
Cottagecore Taylor Swift
kronprins
Also I think she says shit too...idr, I listened to it while falling asleep
ᚠᚱᛖᛃᚨ
she does but she said shit on reputation
ᚠᚱᛖᛃᚨ
fuck is New Territory
ᚠᚱᛖᛃᚨ
anyway I was just thinking "boho librarian" is my new aesthetic and behold, taylor understood me
ᚠᚱᛖᛃᚨ
anyway looking more into kanye… is he okay, has anyone seen kanye
sᴛᴇᴘʜ 🎃
cottagecore taylor swift the perfect description and I am here for it
ᘜᖇค८꒐ꏂ ✨
safe & sound but a whole album
ᴇᴍᴀɴᴀᴛᴏʀ
this is really good.
ᴇᴍᴀɴᴀᴛᴏʀ
i admit I skipped her last two albums but I'm really enjoying this.
Lassarina
reading this I was like I guess I'll listen to my TSwift albums today and realized I am neutral to dislike on every song on Fearless
Lassarina
and it's the only album of hers that I feel like that about
ᚠᚱᛖᛃᚨ
ᴇᴍᴀɴᴀᴛᴏʀ
and betty for the gaylor swift conspiracists
ᴇᴍᴀɴᴀᴛᴏʀ
👀
ᴇᴍᴀɴᴀᴛᴏʀ
wait her middle name is my name???
Pixy🧚🏻
I think the answer to is kanye ok is sadly probably not based on recent events.
ᚠᚱᛖᛃᚨ
ftr I like lover (but Me! is kinda eh) and the back half of reputation
ᚠᚱᛖᛃᚨ
and fifteen ++ the title track from fearless
Lassarina
fifteen bugs me a lot because of teh way I read some of the lyrics but I'm sure I love songs that other people hate so.
ᚠᚱᛖᛃᚨ
i don't read it in the slut shaming way, fwiw
Lassarina
I didn't initially but then I couldn't unhear it later /o\ argh brains
ᚠᚱᛖᛃᚨ
i forgot all about a lot of the early taylor swift feminist takes and a lot of them were p unfair but i get the "can't unhear" problem
Lassarina
yeah. by the same token I'm pretty sure most people didn't read "ours" as queer on first hearing, but I sure did, and that interpretation is just glued into my brain
Lassarina
so at least it goes both ways I guess
ᚠᚱᛖᛃᚨ
yeah and tbf it's not because i think early taylor swift was full of feminist masterpieces-- something like "you belong with me" is def full of not like other girls sentiments
ᚠᚱᛖᛃᚨ
but i was hardly a perfect feminist in high school, adolescence is full of messy feelings, and she was a teenager singing about that
wolfgirl winter
yeah I am uncomf with the amount of grown-ass women dunking on a teenage songwriter in early tswift criticism
wolfgirl winter
like not that it's without merit
wolfgirl winter
also that twilight dunking is getting reexamined when stephanie myer wrote it as an adult but nobody is ever like hey maybe we were too hard on this actual high schooler
wolfgirl winter
I scrolled thru so much twitter for this
I scrolled thru so much twitter for this
ᚠᚱᛖᛃᚨ
aw I'm touched that you braved twitter on my behalf
wolfgirl winter
I am always on twitter
ᚠᚱᛖᛃᚨ
ᚠᚱᛖᛃᚨ
and y I think it's a of the Smeyer overreach "things teen girls like?? fantasy for teen girls??"
wolfgirl winter
ᚠᚱᛖᛃᚨ
which has plagued all teen girl media since the dawn of the concept, probably, because we see teen girls as both worthy of extreme derision and also incapable of critical reading
wolfgirl winter
tswift has the double problem of being things teen girls like and also publicly a teen
ᚠᚱᛖᛃᚨ
teen girls reading twilight were by and large aware that vampires aren't real and that actual relationships aren't like that
ᚠᚱᛖᛃᚨ
but it's an obsessive fantasy that mirrors the heights of teenage obsession
ᚠᚱᛖᛃᚨ
likewise taylor swift writes songs about teenage jealousy, and is both not given any credit at all for writing her music
wolfgirl winter
like as a former teen who hated twilight at that age, it's still like HOW DARE YOU THINK I WOULD LIKE THIS??????
ᚠᚱᛖᛃᚨ
"I don't hate Taylor, I just hate the things her managers make her do"
wolfgirl winter
only when you call them out on it tho
wolfgirl winter
like 'I'm critical bc I care!' bitch you dont sound like it
ᚠᚱᛖᛃᚨ
but also not given any credit for the artistry of her songs, by which I mean they are treated as exactly what she feels and advocates with no artistic distance whatsoever
wolfgirl winter
yeah,,
wolfgirl winter
people were extremely weird about that with 'look what you made me do' even
ᚠᚱᛖᛃᚨ
and tbf this is partly something she courts with her own extremely confessional style, like part of the appeal of taylor swift is the feeling her songs are autobiographical, like pages of a diary
ᚠᚱᛖᛃᚨ
but… they are not
ᚠᚱᛖᛃᚨ
ANYWAY I think the Taylor Swift discourse has flipped a few times
ᚠᚱᛖᛃᚨ
I'm not sure where we're at now
wolfgirl winter
yeah idk but it's like, hmm, the way people treat women writing memoirs or autobio or even first person journalism as having no artistic direction whatsoever
ᚠᚱᛖᛃᚨ
I WILL ALSO SAY re: the Kanye/Kim drama, that "I think I might still have sex with Taylor / I made that bitch famous" is a sexist line regardless if she gave permission
wolfgirl winter
I think it's a dumb joke but also that she was referencing the record label drama in her speech and people made it about kanye
ᚠᚱᛖᛃᚨ
I realize that's not what the drama was about but
ᚠᚱᛖᛃᚨ
and yeah, it's also like
ᚠᚱᛖᛃᚨ
was this the line that launched a thousand tweets?
ᚠᚱᛖᛃᚨ
not a big deal to me, kanye clearly has larger problems
wolfgirl winter
I also feel like kim's response was kind of................immature lmao
wolfgirl winter
bitch you were 37
ᚠᚱᛖᛃᚨ
32 and still growing up now
ᚠᚱᛖᛃᚨ
anyway they know they all profit off the drama so it keeps going
wolfgirl winter
what no surely that was not 7 years ago.............
ᚠᚱᛖᛃᚨ
nooo that's the line from the song supposedly about kanye
wolfgirl winter
ohhhh which one is that
ᚠᚱᛖᛃᚨ
Taylor Swift – Innocent
wolfgirl winter
awww that's a nice song to be about kanye
ᚠᚱᛖᛃᚨ
ᴇᴍᴀɴᴀᴛᴏʀ
also the real question is
ᚠᚱᛖᛃᚨ
will taylor swift get a fourth cat now
ᴇᴍᴀɴᴀᴛᴏʀ
I think she will.
ᴇᴍᴀɴᴀᴛᴏʀ
She needs to keep up.
ᴇᴍᴀɴᴀᴛᴏʀ
If she got "writing an album" out of her system in quarantine, clearly a cat is next.
spum
i'm so excited
ᚠᚱᛖᛃᚨ
ᚠᚱᛖᛃᚨ
benjamin button has gotten bigger: 
wolfgirl winter
look at that boi
Lassarina
Gorgeous cats
Lassarina
Also I migraine passed out but yeah even my husband who aggressively dislikes pop music as music comments on what a good poet she is
ᚠᚱᛖᛃᚨ
I hope you're feeling better!!
ᚠᚱᛖᛃᚨ
in another update I bought one of the limited edition albums… I still have a cd player, I'm not cool enough to have switched to vinyl
wolfgirl winter
my dad still owes me a record player from a 2010 hanukkah present
wolfgirl winter
I should just ask a music friend for recs and buy one myself
Lassarina
I am feeling better now that I've realized part of the problem was dehydration
Lassarina
I also still have a CD player. My dad gave me a 51 CD changer for Christmas my freshman year of college and I absolutely still use it
Lassarina
I used to stick all my FF soundtracks in there in order and hit play
ᚠᚱᛖᛃᚨ
I believe a black mages album is what is currently in mine
