a bad sign is all good

Not to be snobby/elitist but influencers need to remain in their own separate lane and I’ve never been more serious about that… you are not a real music critic because you review albums on your popular YouTube channel, in the same way I’m not looking at the top Goodreads reviews or going on booktok for genuine literary criticism. I saw some quote recently from an influencer who was interviewing celebrities on a red carpet and she said something along the lines of “fans want to see people like us talking to their favs as if we were their friends!” and it’s like…okay? But I actually want interviews with actual trained reporters, too. Which is not to say there’s no value in some of what influencers are doing…The woman who asks celebs silly, low stakes questions over takeout chicken is a cute addition to any press cycle. But she’s not a reporter, and what she’s doing is not actual journalism. Influencers with huge platforms should feel proud of themselves for building something that clearly resonates with people, but for any of them to claim to be “top of the field,” above people with like, actual education and qualifications and years of experience at their job, is just ludicrous. You are the natural successor to the Buzzfeed listicle. You are not “the only relevant music critic today.” Be so fucking serious.

all of showgirl is actually just about taylor choosing to be an active participant in her own life

now that it’s been 10 days of showgirl, reblog and tag with the lyric you think is the thesis of the album

something something taylor talking about being so disciplined & careful as a teenager, the cautious discretion lyric in eldest daughter, the contrast between wildness as a theme on rep - ttpd & the way she talked about loosening up re: the infamous convertible moment

legitimately having a mental breakdown. you don't understand. one of my all time worst memories/turning points in my life was someone telling me to be patient when i was sixteen and now i just want to scream at that version of myself 'no other life is waiting for you. you're already running out of time. your entire world is going to end in two years and you'll regret making yourself an island forever.' what the fuck taylor what the fuck !!
