They did it! Ahhhh!

It was so random bc it was a brand new artist that no one had ever heard of, and then Taylor posts a tiktok with their song about the making of midnights? And no one knows who nice boy Ed is. There was one reference to the phrase nice boy Ed at the time, and it had queer connotations.

We were valid, and yeah, she was too, because she was protecting herself.

agreed, super sapphic. I was wondering why no one was seemingly talking about this concrete proof. I meant to look into it more, but I've been so busy!

I had no idea the lyrics are my wrist, I've only ever heard OUR. This is fascinating!

she always does, eventually, in her own time and way. after watching her pr moves over the past 15 years, she always does. endorsing Kamala being the most recent example, but it's never on her fan's terms.

op is a gaylor, I'm fairly certain.

I'm sure someone else made these connections, too! I thought it was fun to put it all together quickly.

She gave us the narcotics that got us brave and critical, but all the attention turns her on. This song is about the fans, again. (I say this without being definitively sure, because I never go all the way on anything. That was a joke about my sexuality as well.)

a screenshot of a google search of fan criticism of Taylor Swift's new album, The Life of a Showgirl. There are posts from reddit, Refinery29, Pitchfork, E! Online, USA Today, all about the criticism fans have for Taylor's new album.

I have another shit post:

Bonus: the casual homoeroticism that men do that is simultaneously misogynistic is fascinating.

A funny moment I just remembered. I was out with friends all older than me in Nov 2023, and I got drunk and started talking about Gaylor. A straight, cis male friend said "you don't think she's climbing Travis every night?" And I wish I said "it sounds like you want to." 3/3

The Eras tour felt like a goodbye because it was one. It was goodbye to Taylor Swift™️. Or like others said, the victory lap of the showgirl. 2/3

Ok, some rapid fire thoughts I had recently, and are not in order or fully related:

TFOO could be about Chely Wright. She saved herself from going crazy from all the men around her gaslighting her and her lack of agency. She almost died. She came out, wow. 1/3

You are. Maybe one day a T.O. gaylor meet up!

I didn't know you were canadian! Hi!! I'm way out west, though.

So when do i get to listen to ruin the friendship without crying because wtf taylor

matching scars with Taylor Swift, that's for sure.

(this also means you're her friend!)

I needed the gif of Tina Fey, sorry! The quotes have different inflections!

if this is true, i don't know how to square my feelings regarding what we know about spade. and then calvin harris just liking a tt about Taylor's anti-blackness? i'm having troubles here.

Hamlet also acted crazy on purpose. But then was he actually crazy, though? Or just acting?

I'm sure Taylor knew before Kam!

So interesting how before father figure she talks about how sacred song writing is and respecting that process 👀

i love cancelled mainly bc i imagine her strutting with a bunch of drag queens and queer people and POC who are the people ACTUALLY being cancelled in our society rn and the image is just too powerful… “they’re the ones with matching scars”

Lol

Content warning, self harm in the description: The original cover of the life of a showgirl. Taylor's arms are out and slightly above her head, so you can see the underside of her wrists. Each arm has a photo shard slicing across her wrists.

TW: self harm

I don't like this connection my brain made:

"We're the ones with matching scars." And how her wrists and arms look on her cover. (Someone else originally pointed out this for the cover!)

I LOVE this take!!!

Your confidence gives me strength. Thank you.

(This has just been a very long road)

So let me get this straight: She gave them a MM and Shellback record (because they are tired of Jack), talked about Trav, gave basic lyrics (because TTPD was “too wordy” and required a dictionary), yet they are STILL unhappy??
