the manuscript

my favorite choice ever at the very end of the black dog is when she whispers the final “screaming”. after literally screaming it the whole song, after she’s gone through all that grief and catharsis, you can hear her voice shake as it barely chokes out the word. And she’s so insistent the entire song that “old habits die screaming” like I will rage against you with my dying breaths! Loss and death and grief have made me angry and vengeful and you will feel the flames of my wrath!!! But in the end, after she goes through all the accusations and the blame and the vitriol and confusion and the cruelty and injustice of it all, she has no more fight left in her. she realizes in real time that this is what grief and letting go actually feels like, the summation of it all at the end. It’s perhaps in conversation with that TS Eliot poem: “This is how the world ends, not with a bang but with a whimper.” The journey through all of that sorrow and pain and grief and loss doesn't end in a blinding magnificent rage and it’s over, as much as she wanted it to, with indignation and vengeful pride. Instead, it’s a long drawn out suffering and when she finally gets to the end of her grief, it has drained everything from her. she may have the last word, but it'll be nothing more than a pitiful whisper.

when taylor first revealed her desire to “find a place in this world,” i don’t think she could’ve anticipated that, two decades on, she’d be playing that song she penned at just 13 years old to a sold-out crowd at the closing night of her sixth headlining tour — the biggest tour the industry has seen — when her place in this world has, in fact, been found (both personally and professionally). it just makes me very, very emotional, knowing the girl who wrote “i’m alone, on my own, and that’s all i know” has kept going and persevering through it all, even when she’s felt scared and unmoored — see: her saying “i’m sure i related to [a place in this world] when i wrote it, but i think i relate to it more now” in houston last year before she played it on this tour in the wake of her breakup — and just look at where she is now. something tells me her younger self would not only feel so grateful and happy, but also ridiculously proud.

The Thesis For Every Taylor Swift Album

Debut: I'm just a girl, tryna' find a place in this world - "A Place In This World"

Fearless: You take my hand and drag me head first, fearless - "Fearless"

Speak Now: The girl in the dress wrote you a song - "Dear John"

Red: Love is a ruthless game unless you play it good and right - "State Of Grace"

1989: The best people in life are free - "New Romantics"

reputation: They're burning all the witches even if you aren't one, so light me up - "I Did Something Bad"

Lover: You are what you love - "Daylight"

folklore: I don't belong and, my beloved, neither do you - "the lakes"

evermore: And I couldn't be sure, I had a feeling so peculiar, this pain wouldn't be forevermore - "evermore"

Midnights: Lost in the labyrinth of my mind - "Labyrinth"

TTPD: I love you, it's ruining my life - "Fortnight"

it's going to be so ironical if the theme of the album is what about my art? what about my voice? and all that people do is focus on the person behind the motivation of it. Obviously it's taylor breakup so she's allowed to get personal in every way about it but what happens when the fandom's whole focus is just on Joe and how he fumbled instead of connecting themes and parallels because what about her art now? what about her voice? what about recognising the core thing that makes her her?

she reacts to the cheers as if she doesn’t know we’d all kill for her

Taylor, deer, this u?

‎‏Dear friends,

‎‏My name is Ghazal Naseer, from palestine north-Gaza, I am 16 years old and this is my story.

Before the war, I was passionate about learning English and raising awareness about the Palestinian cause through the Hands Up Project, where I participated in plays that highlighted the resilience of Palestinian children.

But the harsh reality of war forced my siblings and me to leave our home and flee to southern Gaza in search of safety. The war shattered all my dreams and robbed me of my childhood innocence. Separated from our parents, we were left to face an uncertain future, clinging only to the painful memories of a life we once knew.

"I haven't seen my parents for over 430 days, and the longing to be with them grows stronger every day."

I was forced to live with another family whom I did not know before in a tattered, worn out tent a tent filled with constant fear, unable to shield us from the missiles launched daily by Israeli planes. It provided little protection from the scorching heat, the biting cold, or the swarming insects.

I am exhausted by this life: there is no food, no safety, and not even clean water to drink.

’ I fell into a deep depression and attempted suicide several times ’

After that, I made the decision to break free from the circle of despair and hold onto hope, believing that one day the war would end and I would finally fulfill my greatest dream of reuniting with the rest of my family.

After more than a year of genocide , Our current circumstances have left us in urgent need of support, as each passing moment only intensifies our suffering and despair.

Therefore, I kindly ask you to consider offering us your support and sharing our story with your friends and family to help raise awareness and inspire them to contribute. Your donation, no matter how small, will make a significant impact on our lives and bring a spark of hope back into our hearts during these challenging times.

its always "music is subjective" until its taylor swift. no I'm not defending a millionaire white woman. I'm defending the people who enjoy her art. calling her lyrics shallow and meaningless is insulting to the people who connect with those lyrics.
