Dear Reader Posted October 23 Posted October 23 1 hour ago, Great Username said: Robin is sooo good. When will society wake up The melodies are gorgeous, especially the "strings - tied - to - levers - slowed - down - clocks - tethered" section. But within the context of the album, it becomes literally tooooo powerful. "You look ridiculous and you have no idea / Buried down deep and out of your reach, the secret / We all vowed to keep it from you, in sweetness" at the end of an ablum all about Her loss of innocence and dignity - having Your youth stolen from You by a partner, degrading Yourself for fame, getting humiliated in the pursuit of real love The concept of Her loving and protecting Her friend's kid, while She's being sh*t-talked under the table, talking rings and talking cradles "Youve got a favourite spot on the swing set / You have no room in your dreams for regrets" alluding to the vain hopefulness She once had: "Ain't no way I'm gonna screw up now that I know what's at stake here / At the park where we used to sit on children's swings / Wearing imaginary rings" Finally some love for Robin

In a cloud of sparkling dust Just to do experiments on She was ******* insane for this Oh the pain of being someone's queer experimentation Did you take all my old clothes? Just to leave me here naked and alone In a field in my same old town That somehow seems so hollow now They'll say I'm nuts if I talk about the existence of you AAAAAA Karlie taking Her old clothes... And "they'll say I'm nuts if I talk about the existence of you"... Must we spell it out... I'll build you a fort on some planet Where they can all understand it How dare you think it's romantic Leaving me safe and stranded LIKE???? The pining for a planet where people are less ignorant... The allusions to 1989 error...... Like I lost my twin I don't think anything needs to be said here. And needless to say the whole ablum is fraught with queer religious tension... "I just learned these people try and save you / 'Cause they hate you"... "What if I roll the stone away / Theyre gonna crucify me anyway / What if the way you hold me / Is actually what's holy"... "I got cursed like Eve got bitten" So then, I Hate It Here: All you'll ever be is My eternal consolation prize Ummmm You see I was a debutant in another life But now I seem to be scared to go outside The fact that debutantes literally come out I hate it here so I will go to Lunar valleys in my mind When they found a better planet Only the gentle survived I dreamed about it in the dark The night I felt like I might die More allusions to a better planet, for "gentle"/enlightened people Kind of also harkens back to "I wanna transport you / To somewhere the culture's clever / Confess my truth" I'll save all my romanticism for my inner life I Look In People's Windows: I look in people's windows Transfixed by rose golden glows They have their friends over to drink nice wine The reference to golden The allusion to "rosé flowing with your chosen family" The connection to "I peered through a window / A deep portal / Time travel / All the love we unraveled / And the life I gave away / 'Cause he was sunshine I was midnight rain" Peter: Forgive me Peter My lost fearless leader In closets like cedar Preserved from when we were just kids Is it something I did The goddess of timing Once found us beguiling She said she was trying Peter was she lying My ribs get the feeling she did There isnt a plausible non-queer reading of this, like please Are you still a mind reader? A natural scene stealer I've heard great things Peter But life was always easier on you Than it was on me Aaa it's giving "Everybody wants you / Everybody wonders what it would be like to love you" it's giving "What must it be like to grow up so beautiful" And I won't confess that I waited But I let the lamp burn As the men masqueraded I hoped you'd return ?????? But the woman Who sat by the window Has turned out the light I look in people's windows, transfixed by rose golden glows I dreamed about it in the dark the night I felt like I might die I don't mind the Gaylor claims but I draw the line at Kaylor allegations... Not that upper lipless demon, Tay can do better 1

Gaylorism needed to die yesterday, it's a seriously toxic mindset and no serious Swiftie should ever entertain it. There's ZERO proof whatsoever that Taylor is queer in any way and even if she was, trying to overanalyze her life to "force" her to come out is seriously messed up. As an actual queer person myself i had close ones who tried to force me to come out to the world before i was ready and i can tell you it did serious damage to my mental health. And in the case of Taylor it's even worse because people want to impose a sexuality on her that she doesn't even have. The fact that Gaylorism was published in the NEW YORK TIMES of all places really showed how insane and out of hand the whole thing has gotten, people really need to stop. You are NOT helping queer people in any way by doing all of that 3

Taylor was clearly disturbed by this and you know it, otherwise her publicist wouldn't have talked about it. I agree with you. It's gotten really crazy. However, finding sapphic themes/meanings in her music and interpreting it in your way to personally relate to it is still harmless imo. I miss when gaylors only did that instead of being a delusional subcult stanning a completely different person that they made up in their empty heads. Edited October 24 by State of Grace. 2
Goaty Posted October 25 Posted October 25 A Travis Kelce x Ross Travis secret lover conspiracy TikTok montage set to "You Belong With Me"?
penguintim Posted October 25 Posted October 25 Any chance of us getting Holier Than Fiction TV on streaming this weekend for the 1989iversary?
Calvin Posted October 25 Posted October 25 I hope she recorded Crazier (Taylor's version) for debut TV. One of her absolute best songs. 2
