"Taylor didn't want Karlie there" "Karlie was NOT invited" "Taylor looked irritated"
So much so that Karlie was also at the after party bc Taylor REALLY didn't want Karlie there 😂🤣😂🤣😭😭😭
People always dump on Taylor for looking after her own interests but by god she was being super brave to speak out against that man when NO ONE ELSE would. She could only do so much but…she tried, you know. Over and over she uses her platform to speak up about stuff no one else dares to (Apple Music letter, for example) and people shit on her for it only to find out years later she was just ahead of her time…again.

Wow, Olivia really did something with this album. The nostalgic feeling is a chefs kiss!. It's the vibes of the old-school pop-rock white girly music I used to love back in the day. My black ass would bop that shit on my way to school. Thank you, Olivia! Great album.
😂 it does have some pretty great nostalgic early 2000s vibes on it! I have to give it another listen with my good headphones! (also emo is coming back)
I’m thinking about jlatdc again
I’ve noticed something when watching the midnights set from one of the LA shows (disclaimer, I’ve not actually been to a live show of this tour yet so all my observations are from other people’s videos).
Before going into her final song, Taylor ends her performance of Anti Hero with this pose which was immediately familiar to me as the famous Matilda pose from the poster for Matilda the Musical. The head position and even the light from the back…? I’ve seen that musical a ton of times but even if you haven’t I’d say it’s quite the resemblance.
So if Taylor is in fact referencing Matilda here, what is she saying? If you haven’t seen the show (or the film), this pose is from a song called ‘Naughty’ where Matilda tells the audience that even when you’re a child you can change your story by taking charge of your narrative and not playing by the rules. She ends the song in this pose while she sings the final lines which are:
‘But nobody else is gonna put it right for me,
Nobody but me is gonna change my story,
Sometimes you have to be a little bit naughty.’
So, if this is a deliberate Matilda pose, my interpretation would be that, like Matilda, Taylor is taking charge of her public narrative and is changing her story to show herself authentically. No more perfect princess stories. Naughty also references Romeo and Juliet and Cinderella, both also mentioned in Taylor’s songs, and emphasises how they were just victims of their ‘stupid fate’ and if they’d changed their story maybe they would have lived happily. So bottom line: the people in the story can take charge and change the ending. You don’t need a fairy godmother, you can be your own hero. Very Taylor to end a song called Anti Hero with such a defiant hero pose 😉
Another thing I noticed that solidified that thought for me, is that the giant Taylor on the screen visuals balls her hands into fists and yells at where Taylor is standing performing before she turns and screams at the audience.
I’ve never actually seen a video of the full screen visuals during this number, because people tend to film Taylor walking around on stage which is ironic, because I think it is exactly the point she’s trying to make that we’re all too distracted by the glittery performance to notice the giant screaming in the background.
That’s my (rather long) rambling on the Anti Hero performance. And that was just one song, I swear, when I get to see the full show, I’ll have pages of notes! Sorry (not sorry) 🤭
Something I thought of for explaining the wlw reading of “argumentative antithetical dream girl” line to hetlors: flip it. Make it: “I could still rock your nights; argumentative antithetical dream guy.”
It still makes sense, doesn’t it? Therefore, it makes perfect sense that she could be addressing that line to a woman.
Yes, this is a great point!
I’m not laughing anymore this is scary
