Also, I was wondering about your sweater! It looks like a hexagranny cardigan. I made myself a purple one. Yellow is perfect for you.

Thumbnail game is fire

My guess is a curry because I just had a curry with coconut yoghurt.

Its holding up on rewatch

I just watched this episode!

"I'm glad I didnt bring my umbrella"
"I brought mine in my bag"
"Yeah, but mine is bigger"
"That's the new Taylor Swift song: I made a deal with the devil because my umbrella's bigger"

She was calling on the megaphone. She didnt want to be all alone

If I ignore the lyrics, it's a bop.

Honestly, most of the tunes on her album are catchy. And not every pop song needs to be deep. A couple of songs are a bit of a mess lyrically though.

I think the difference is one album was written during lockdown and the other was written while she was busy.

She's called Sugar because she's ao sweet

Reminds me of the time my doctor wrote my occupation as one of my long term conditions

I lived in Molesworth Street during the 2022 occupation. It wasn’t “peaceful”; it was filth and menace. People shat and pissed on our lawns. Emergency workers were blocked from reaching neighbours. The smell lingered for weeks.

Remove the reference to Travis Kelce, and I think The Fate of Ophelia is also about the eras tour reviving TS's fame and Opalite is about getting her master recordings back.

When people hate watch and hate comment on your content, it's Actually Romantic.

Elizabeth Taylor may rise up the ranks.

Update on relisten

1. The Fate of Ophelia
2. Actually Romantic
3. The Life of a Showgirl
4. Cancelled
5. Ruin the Friendship
6. Father Figure
7. Opalite
8. Elizabeth Taylor
9. Honey
10. Eldest Daughter
11. Wood
12. Wi$hli$t (still hate it)

Second listen through concentrating on the lyrics and the theme she said on that podcast. First four songs are solid, plus Actually Romantic, Cancelled and The Life of the Showgirl all related to fame. I think Ruin the Friendship could have if she focused on how personal news interests show girllife

I was so worried Father Figure was about Olivia Rodrigo but in second listen, I think its about Scott Borchetta and men like him.

Musing in the album tonight, I feel that tonally "Ruin the Friendship" does not fit on TLOASG. But I'm glad it exists. At first it made me think of a highschool crush. Now I think of late friends. Doesn't it break you, the first time a close friend dies? You wonder what more you could have done.

Current TS12 ranking
1. The Fate of Ophelia
2. Actually Romantic
3. Ruin the Friendship
4. The Life of a Showgirl
5. Cancelled
6. Father Figure (this one just amuses me)
7. Honey
8-10. Elizabeth Taylor. Ophilite. Eldest Daughter (need to relisten to rank)
11. Wood
12. Wi$hli$t (hate it)

I also see me adding Ruin the Friendship to my regular listens. Reminds me of my own highschool crush (though shes not dead, just married a man)

Ophelia is the closest to my typical music taste. Actually Romantic is going on my Queer Angry Woman playlist

Some of the songs are clearly post-Short and Sweet

That one is my favourite so far, except maybe Actually Romantic. Still on my first listen through.

Now listening to Wi$h li$t and like, this is it?

Just listened to this song and I am definitely coming back to it.

"Actually Romantic" has similar vibes to Taste and Obsessed

If the first 30 seconds are accurate this album is a bop.

The idea of emotional cheating pushed me towards polyamory. I didn't have to fear my partner decided my friendship with someone was too close if I was already allowed any kind of relationship with other people. 😆
