💘

reflecting on the difference in how taylor tells her story of better than revenge as a teenager versus how she created the worlds of illicit affairs and august as an adult and her increasing awareness of how complex all types of relationships are and evident growth in not only empathy but understanding of the way women are vilified and blamed in these relationships (taylor writing abt how she felt someone ‘stole her man’ in an effort to hurt ‘the other woman’s’ reputation as a form of catharsis for herself vs her writing abt the heartbreak and emotions of the ‘mistress’ coupled with discussing the guy’s lack of care and his wrongdoings)

And this is why Story Of Us (Taylors Version) is going to SLAP

Guys I’m so grateful for you, and for how much you love Lover. I’m overwhelmed with emotion and so proud of this album..and every time I think about how proud I am, I just can’t help but become so completely elated because.. this one is mine. 🥺😭💗 Gonna cherish this moment forever. Never gonna stop thanking you for it either.

This album has the production of 1989, the lyrical equivalence of Speak Now, the raw emotion of Red and all the sassy aspects of Reputation making this, in my opinion, her best album to date.

I Forgot You Existed is such a good transition from reputation into Lover it’s literally Taylor being like uh hey one last fuck you anyway I’m in love now BYE
