all that work. I hope @staff knows that losing jaime’s blog (@cages-boxes-hunters-foxes) will kill swiftie tumblr, the fandom that runs this stupid site. it’s a cornerstone of our fan culture and jaime is a friend/mutual to a lot of us.
#the album prologues are the bible. to me.
Getting parasocial on main again but the fact that she started this tour as the relationship she wrote those songs about was ending while she was embarking on this career-defining journey and EVERYTHING that has happened in the last 20 months both professionally and personally, and now she’s ending the final US show singing those same songs, reframing them to tell new stories about the memories she’s written about, is just so fucking cool and SO creatively fulfilling. She was terrified of if he ever walked away, but as she was leaving it felt like freedom. It’s death by a thousand cuts if we survive the Great War.
Everything changes, nothing stays the same, things you think are going to kill you end up leading to something new that changes your life. It’s pain and it’s joy and it’s loss and it’s growth. It’s just so, so special to see this happening in real time.

I simply cannot hate Taylor Swift, she is a fascinating psychological study to me. Being a never-satisfied, perpetually hungry striver who recklessly amasses riches and fame but perpetually yearns for love and who is somehow both extremely calculated and conniving and embarrassingly earnest and sincere is so compelling and Great American novel of her. She is Jay Gatsby to me.
