Oh! & Of Course:

bro...hold on...shes also referencing the failed coming out of 2019. and has been ever since folklore. lover came out in august. 'august slipped away like a bottle of wine cuz you were never mine'...going insane. she tells the story of her life through love songs bc she knows thats the only way to get & keep people's attention. 'I'm still trying everything To keep you looking at me'

You said some things that I can't unabsorb

You turned me into an idea of sorts

You needed me, but you needed drugs more

And I couldn't watch it happen

I changed into goddesses, villains and fools

Changed plans and lovers and outfits and rules

All to outrun my desertion of you

And you just watched it

this play was about us. how the public viewed the ME! and 'you need to calm down' songs & music videos. she gave so many signs. she tried to tell us a million little times. she reinvented herself over and over to try and make us see. some of us did, most of her fans and the world at large didn't. now shes burning all her past lives. shes going to come out and destroy everything she built in the name of being her true self.

the more i listen to TTPD the more convinced I become shes not talking about being in love in any of the songs at all & all the references to muses are just red herrings for fans to look past, & shes really just talking about her relationship with the music industry & her fanbase

hmmm.

GUYS I PUT THE FOLKLORE TAYLOR IN A FOREST AGAIN !!!

Taylor right now:

so The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived is for SURE about so many things, like scooter braun, scot swift, the music industry at large, her fans, etc. but. what about taylor talking to herself? she is The Man after all. so what about True Queer Taylor talking to Public Persona Taylor? i need to sleep but!!

I don’t think the timing of the Emily/Taylor related announcement is coincidental

The most obvious reasoning for this being shared now is to draw parallels between Emily and Taylor as poets

However, I wonder if we might receive a song that Taylor wrote from “Emily’s perspective” on TTPD

"Betty" live from the Academy of Country Music Awards (September 2020)

Taylor Swift and Hayley Kiyoko performed an acoustic version of "Delicate" during the Jack Antonoff-organized Ally Coalition Talent Show! (December 2018)

Forever in our minds. 🏳️‍🌈

Taylor Swift | Fortnight feat. Post Malone | 2024

something i will never shut the fuck up about is that taylor swift gave us "shade never made anybody less gay" as a fucking easter egg MV visual during the FIRST single of lover era, a song titled "ME!" that includes the lyrics "like a rainbow with all of its colors, babydoll when it comes to a lover, i promise that you'll never find another like ME!" by putting herself in a dress of dripping rainbow paint. i will never fucking let this go. what the fuck do hetlors think was going through taylor's head? how do yall straightwash this behavior.

Also this album plays with humor in ways Taylor hasn't experimented with before and as with everything else she tries, she absolutely NAILS how to do it in a tasteful way.
