antithetical dreamgirl

taylor swift’s albums + painting by claude monet

As far as my music direction goes, I’d always like to keep people on their toes, in that regard, I think that’s the best way to be exciting. I don’t think that people were surprised that I went in the direction of pop, I think people were surprised that I was honest about it.

In isolation my imagination has run wild and this album is the result, a collection of songs and stories that flowed like a stream of consciousness. Picking up a pen was my way of escaping into fantasy, history, and memory. I’ve told these stories to the best of my ability with all the love, wonder, and whimsy they deserve. Now it’s up to you to pass them down

I’ve decided I want you to have the whole story, see the entire vivid picture, and let you into the entire dreamscape that is my fearless album. 

Sad Beautiful Tragic, Taylor Swift

TAYLOR SWIFT SONGS AS TITLE CARDS 2 or: 1989 You got that James Dean daydream look in your eye.

folklore first anniversary: my favorite line from each song (part 1) Stars drawn around scars. A cardigan that still bears the scent of loss twenty years later. Battleships sinking into the ocean, down, down, down. The tree swing in the woods of my childhood. Hushed tones of “let’s run away” and never doing it. The sun drenched month of August, sipped away like a bottle of wine. A mirrored disco ball hovering above a dance floor. A whiskey bottle beckoning. Hands held through plastic. A single thread that, for better or for worse, ties you to your fate.

“The song Last Kiss is sort of like a letter to somebody. You say all of these desperate, hopeless feelings that you have after a break-up. Going through a break-up you feel all of these different things. You feel anger, and you feel confusion, and frustration. Then there is the absolute sadness.”
