the last great american dynasty (2020)

i like that taylor swift went to a park and tried to manifest her own meet cute / soulmate fanfiction

Taylor opening Folklore with ‘I’m doing good, I’m on some new shit’, and then proceeding  to emotionally destroy me track after track is nothing 'new’ stop lying this is just like the last seven albums.

taylor said hello would you like to do some actual meaningful analysis and embrace metaphors and allusions and Fiction instead of combing my social media for clues? and she’s so valid for that....... the power of taylor swift is the deftness with which she weaves fictionalized narratives in with her own life so that she’s constantly telling multiple stories at once and everything is simultaneously deeply about her heart and yet also it’s own tale... i think people are finally seeing that Taylor Swift the figure is just as much a Character as a betty or a james but that doesn’t mean she’s not also telling us the closest thing to her truth that she can articulate... its folklore and myth and narrative and pieces of her all wrapped up in one package... she’s always done that to a certain extent but albums like rep. and lover were sooooo deeply performative in the service of a self-making mythos while this is a quiet web of stories that both reveal and obscure, and she doesn’t care what it says about Taylor Swift the mega superstar, but rather about what it says about taylor swift the woman. ugh!

you are not hard to love

part of becoming confident with yourself is just… posting it anyway. writing it anyway. even if you feel like it won’t be recognized, the process is just as important as the results. if you like what you do and who you are that validation will come naturally. shit won’t feel forced either.
