newfound grace.

there is a moment between jumping from the frying pan into the fire that feels a lot like liberation

thinking about how on 1989 taylor says she had to turn into a shrouded mystery to make him want her and how she said the original album cover couldn’t have her smiling because it needed to be about the mystery of it all and how the og was covered in metaphors and never gave a full explanation about what happened between them because she wanted the album to be pop perfection and be loved by everyone and if she said what really happened she’d have gone through more slut shaming and misogynistic comments…

i knew it i knew you is a perfect song

and i am sure these people have substantive critiques of taylor and that's really fine that does not upset me but it's just like i cannot find peace.................. every time i complain about this, really well-meaning people show up to be like 'you just have to tailor your algorithm <3' and like yes i do that, that is important, but it does not solve for the ever-present 'this person whose commentary completely unrelated to the music industry i generally really respect has some kind of personal vendetta against taylor seemingly because they simply don't like her general vibes and have decided that means she's the perpetual butt of the joke' and perhaps i'm just a little baby for being so annoyed about it but that is my cross to bear in this life i guesss lol

considering the occasion - what's your favourite taylor lyric
