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
Fucking exactly 😂
The thing that is striking me the most about this album is just how messy and human it is. She’s not holding anything back or trying to appear one way or another. She’s just letting it all out regardless of what anyone might say. She found that trying to be polished and keep all the ugly, imperfect, human stuff in to be stifling and just said fuck it I need to do this for me. This album was an exorcism for her.
The people saying that TTPD is so boring because it "sounds just like midnights" are absolutely wild to me because how dare an artist make more than one album that's the sane style.
Oh, wait....

taylor posted a photo of sequined fabric fans felt reminiscent of the lesbian flag via instagram:
“4.26”
april 26th, of course, was the day taylor chose to release ‘ME!’, but it is notably also lesbian visibility day
I can’t imagine not viewing this album through a queer lens
What I’ve learned in the past year on my journey into the swiftie universe is that gaylors are so much nicer and intelligent than swifties/hetlors. I have not seen swifties/hetlors do lyrical analysis the way gaylors do. I don’t see them connecting historical figures and nods in her work the way gaylors do. Like gaylors will point out all of the lgbt history that Taylor has used/put into her work and say how much of a genius she is and swifties will attack the gaylors and say “well she didn’t know that’s what it meant” or “oh no that’s not the real meaning” when there is literally no other meaning than the lgbt one. The way I see it is, I’ve seen gaylors appreciate her art and work and her lyrics (because Taylor wants us to read the lyrics) and the swifties just don’t as much. Also the way that swifties/hetlors are about the “male muses” compared to how gaylors are about “female/male muses) is also vastly different. Ive noticed that the swifties see her as some character and not an actual human. I don’t feel comfortable or welcome in swifties spaces whereas gaylor spaces have made me feel at least semi welcome (only semi because I don’t ever feel 100% welcome in any space I try to be in) Overall I’m here for Taylor Swift and her music because it has brought so much joy to me personally in the last year. This has been one of the craziest and best rides I’ve been on.
The fact that articles about which songs are about who were published not even an hour after the album was released infuriates me. This album is so clearly about Taylor and her story; not the men who may have inspired her writings. Never has a Taylor album been so centered around her and her reflecting on herself and people trying to attribute which songs belong to what muse misses the entire point of the work.
🚨🚨🚨
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.
If you aren’t angry for her, you should be.
Down Bad
This is admissible as evidence, as the chairman published the lyrics herself and I'm free to interpret and dissect as I wish. This song would make 99% more sense if the pronoun was "her"
"Did you take all my old clothes? Just to leave me here naked and alone"
there's no manly-man-boy who would be nicking her clothes, that does happen in a wlw relationship tho.
"They'll say I'm nuts if I talk about the existence of you"
no reason to call her crazy about a guy, but you sure can get called crazy for talking about fancying a woman
"Like I lost my twin"
...
"I'll build you a fort on some planet Where they can all understand it"
why would people not understand a relationship with a bloke? there would be a lot of people who didn't "understand" if it was a woman
"How dare you think it's romantic Leaving me safe and stranded"
ending a relationship on the grounds that "it's not safe for you for us to date right now" is the least heterosexual thing I've ever heard.
Is she…finally outside the glass now????
amazing
put narcotics into all of my songs and that’s why you’re still singing along
but daddy I love him is so 🏳️🌈👩❤️💋👩
but daddy I love her 😇
i'm working late....'cause i'm a member of the tortured poets department
this really is for tortured gay people with depression i love it
she said i hate you and you and you and you [points to self]
im still not past literally any of this "you wouldn't last an hour in the asylum that they raised me" is absolutely insane
its 4:30am & i cant fkn sleep how can i sleep???? after this 31 fucking song drop???? like?????? im just listening to whos afraid of little old me on repeat she FED us!!! gaylors stay winning!!!
Taylor saying her own name on Clara Bow felt hauntingly strange. It almost felt unnatural.
Taylor right now:
taylor swift really gave us a mental break down and then said double it and give it to the next everyone
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.
WHOS AFRAID OF LITTLE OLD ME
‼️‼️‼️🗣️🗣️🗣️
Okay hear me out
Until 1979, being gay was considered a mental illness, for which they’d send people…..to the psych ward.
