Just followed you! I’d love to spend more time over there because it’s much more long-form writing friendly.

There was something Taylor said in an interview ages ago that felt like she was implying that she’s had a lot of this heavily mapped out around the lover era.

I also saw this one re. a smear campaign. I haven’t face checked the comment about the onyx lyric being picked apart 15 minutes after the album dropped, but it’s definitely worth being aware of who’s driving and/or dominating the conversation with their ulterior motives.

I picked up on this parallel between Jimmy Fallon and Ellen DeGeneres immediately, but seeing the two interviews with Taylor side by side was something else entirely… ☀️🪞🌙

Look what you made me do

“What are you doing?”

“Getting receipts! Gonna edit this later.”

I really need to get around to making a post about the lover music video. And the post I started making about father figure too. I swear it’s all connected.

During the lover era Taylor said that the fishbowl scene was her favourite part of the lover music video—as in the moment when her lover jumped into the pool with her. If that’s the moment that destroyed the whole bathroom… I—

My brain is completely overloaded with this information!

So many instances like this story about Zoe’s mother’s snake destroying the bathroom are analogous stories that reference incidents from the past that Taylor can’t explicitly talk about.

I haven’t looked I to it, but hopefully it’s not just a YouTube premium feature.

It’s so frustrating that they pop up before the video has even ended! If you have the option like in this video you just click on the hide button and it turns them off.

The exile mashups. Especially the one where she said you didn’t read the signs.

I had to pause the video to get Florence’s face in the picture! It was very brief and not as close up as everyone else.

In other news, YouTube finally added the option to hide the recommended videos!

I love how the ‘fortnight’ music video transitions into ‘the fate of Ophelia’ music video so seamlessly. 🎭

Trees have been a recurring motif in Taylor’s music videos, but it’s the trees from the ‘all too well’ short film and lyric video that feel connected to the aesthetic of her debut album.

With everyone talking about Easy A so much this week I just wanted to point out something that stood out to me when I first watched it. In the opening scene Penn Badgley’s name is written at the base of a tree, which is in the exact same spot Sylvia/Lauren was sitting when Truman first saw her. 🌳

She sounds angry/fed up/so very tired, likely because she's sick of people not giving credit for how much work goes into everything she does, and how easily her work (masters) can be eclipsed by a guy (engagement)
