With all of this discourse around Taylor I want to remind everyone that she said she is not the art police. And her work is meant to be a mirror. I think there's huge nuance here to be had with the ongoing debates around the interpretation of onyx and opalite. This discourse is a MIRROR.

UPDATE: I was only seeing our discourse over here and not seeing the origin point of the discussion and I now understand the current frustration being a build up of various problems of solidarity the last two years!!!!!!!

I am genuinely so ~confused~

How can ~onyx~ be taken to mean someone’s race, when ~opalite~ is framed as its alternative in the same phrase and clearly doesn’t translate to any specific racial identity???? The interpretation is more than a reach to me it actually doesn’t make sense

Yeaaaaaaa when it’s presented this way I completely agree she has explaining that is owed/the last two years she has consistently associated with/failed to address unacceptable behavior. (I’m off tik tok so I’ve only seen the discourse secondhand on our end)

I actually agree with the the inclusion of any allusion to his exes was really the first problem/mistake and should have never happened (and we all know that Kayla isn’t the actual muse there but gp obviously thinks she is and Taylor knew that)

And for clarity - there are a LOT of very valid critiques of the way she has moved the last couple of years - this just feels like a very insincere one, and the way it’s spreading just reeks of bot farm organized misogyny campaign - especially given the timing of her upcoming deposition

This is my favorite part too. She said it best - art is a mirror. And even if we are completely wrong at the end of it, how lovely we all are to have seen something so beautiful reflected back. 🫶🏻

& decades from now when this is all past legacy and she is regarded as THE greatest of all time - it will be a queer artist who did all of this.

Pop Base @popbase.tv · 2d

‘The Life of Showgirl’ by Taylor Swift officially debuts at #1 on the Billboard 200 with 4.002 million units.

It becomes the biggest debut of all time.

Did anyone else feel like the “I’m not the art police” art interpretation comment in the release party movie was meant to shame hetlors for attacking us??????

This chart makes me even more sure. Imagine you’re in a legitimate serious relationship and your partner is choosing when you can/can’t show up to support them based on numerology lmao. In a real relationship this would be insane

Logan @wordswhispered.bsky.social · 2d

If you’re wondering, the shot of Taylor and Travis is from the last show he attended when he and Ross were taped arriving late (after the Jason slur footage came out) and the last play of Cowboy Like Me. They’re not giving too much away yet of the truly unknown BTS footage
