just like a folk song

no more jokes about taylor swift's lyrics or about gaylor when all that does is distract from the fact that when it is no longer lucrative to present yourself as a liberal "progressive" artist she has quickly moved on to marrying and befriending trump supporters. i do not care if there was anything gay between her and her ex bestie when her new bestie brittany mahomes is being personally thanked by donald trump. i think it's a shame that all discourse i see on this site about her right now is about whether it's ridiculous and stupid to think she's not straight. what we should be talking about is what it means when the biggest international pop star is getting engaged to a trump supporter during a time when we are seeing eugenics white supremacy ads. i don't care to hear about the eras tour unless it's about how dave portnoy (a trump supporter and alleged rapist) got a personal handwritten note from her at the eras tour. it does not matter if you think she's a crap lyricist or the best lyricist of our generation when what matters is what her choice to align herself with maga signifies about the culture

it’s just crazy. how you listen to blank space in 2025. more than a decade after it came out. and it’s still one of the best most perfect pop songs of the century. and it’s not even my top 3 from the album. And people expect you to just settle for all that slop she’s been putting out in the decade since and be like Yeah this is just as good

need taylor swift to dissolve her filler and remember joni mitchell. ​please girl leave those thigh high boots at home and put on a lesbian looking loafer

thinking about her (taylor swift’s speak now era nashville house)

one more bat at the hornet's nest post for the fun of it but ummm. it's wild to me that taylor swift fans have spent nearly two decades defending her from misogyny and fighting back attempts to define her career by the men in her personal life and stressing that she is an artist/musician about all else and her artistry is not lessened because she writes a lot of songs about relationships. only to immediately turn around and do that after she gets engaged to a football player. like what is there to do besides laugh out loud. laugh my ass off, even.

and I was right in a way

Your English teacher and gym teacher are getting married is such a hauntingly bleak glimpse into the lives of heterosexual women

the way being a taylor swift fan has kind of become metabolized as this inherent trait of womanhood is very bizarre

"pov all the women in your zoom meeting talking about taylor's engagement" "check on the women in your life this is a big day" it's just all so myopic, and it's less to do with taylor herself or her music and more with this neverending (and currently thriving) obsession with gender norms, with girl stuff/boy stuff, with redefining being a #girl or woman as baking cookies and pink bows and obsession with men. and im not even gonna start on the infantilization of this talking point that women universally arent gonna be able to focus on anything, including work and school and chores, today bc a celebrity is engaged. just a girl, etc.
