So Long London track 5 truthers unite!! As she said in Smallest Man, I'll forget you but I'll never forgive. He wasn't important enough or impactful enough in the big picture to be deserving of the track 5 emotional slot. Her putting Joe there honours his role in her life while slighting Matty. When she's above the trees, she sees it for what it is. But her reflecting on the slow dissolution of her long term relationship where she was constantly fighting to be enough... that COOKS. It's devastating. The seething anger and sadness and grieving of what she's lost (that youthful time, a "place" she really did love, etc), while recognizing all the effort she put in to make it work without any of the compromise being reciprocated...I'm in shambles after each listen

The transparency is inspiring. Music is subjective, it’s not meant to hurt you feelings or your ears. That being said, Style is not only my favorite Taylor song but also one of my favorite songs of all time, and I’ve heard some shit. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard that song, it’s lifeblood at this point, my two year old asks Alexa to play it in the kitchen during dinner, like that level. I like to think I’m a pretty smart chick, I’ve always had an above average reading comprehension. I mean I understand statements that put Shakespeare & Swift in the same category, I would take either side of that debate with receipts. Zack, I just want to say THANK YOU for being the very first person in (shit 10 years now?) to tell me that STYLE, is in fact about Harry Fucking STYLES. There’s gotta be a moral in there somewhere but it doesn’t matter if you connect with the context or without, both are options with a Taylor Swift song.

She bamboozled me so hard in the moment of the 1989 era that she was just a single girl in the city like me, and we didn’t need a man, just the girlies. 1989 wasn’t about a guy, she was done with that after speak now and red.

Her tour visuals really help understanding her lore and lyrics beyond the catching tunes. Most pop albums are about love. No one else gets picked on. She’s kept her Scottish ass-kicking off social & industry typecast of tall pretty blondes 🙄

Jackie

Do you guys think she will ever work with Max Martin again considering she just gave him that whole shoutout in Stockholm when he went to her show in Stockholm? I can't really discern the state of their relationship anymore lmao since he isn't working on the rerecordings with her but he's going to her show and she's boasting about him at her show...
