but the monsters turned out to be just trees

moment of silence for all my wasted potential

this is me trying - folklore (2020)

mirrorball makes me so fucking sad though like when she says “hush i know they said they end is near” it makes me think of in miss americana when she was talking about how now she’s reached 30 she doesn’t think she will ever be as successful as she was in her 20s. ever since the 1989 era finished, she has constantly felt like the end of her career is coming so when she says “i’m still on that trapeze i’m still trying everything to keep you looking at me” i feel like she’s talking about how she’s praying and doing everything she can to make sure her career retains the same prolificness that it did a few years ago, even though a part of her has also accepted that she’ll never reach that level again. god it makes me so sad 

i'm a simple woman, i hear i wanna get better by bleachers and suddenly have the impulse to drive down the motorway at 100mph with the windows down fucking SCREAMING

august has the same energy as cruel summer but with a sad ending

i’ve been thinking about the lyric “time wondrous time gave me the blues and then the purple pink skies” a lot and i almost feel like it’s alluding to how everything she went through brought her rep and lover....because reputation was put out as her saddest darkest album while the whole lover aesthetic was built around purple and pink clouds.....thinking

the funniest thing about folklore is the way critics and reviewers keep calling it “shocking” and “a radical departure” and “unlike anything she’s ever done” ya maybe if you only know shake it off you fucking weenies we knew she had it in her
