SIXTY FOUR??? WHY??
JUST found out "touch me while your bros play grand theft auto" is a taylor swift lyric. when a mutual of mine posted that I assumed it was a regular post if i'm being completely honest
think about lesbian sex on. the. clock.
even when they're playing taylor swift in the lobby. You can't break my spirit you vile woman
I hate to break it to you but all of Taylor Swift’s songs are about lesbian sex
if you went outside and interacted with real life adult humans you would discover so many wonderful things
we are past swifties calling themselves punks and have arrived at swift calling herself punk
it’s really funny that taylor has adopted a reputation for being well-read and book smart because every time she opens her mouth about a real world issue i am forcibly reminded that she stopped going into school after 10th grade (her words), and even then, her formal education was provided by the state of tennessee.
because… what?
to frame patriarchy as this inherent thing that has ALWAYS existed and is as naturally occurring as a blue sky, is just not true. and to frame capitalism as this thing that is inherent is also just… not true. i could never unpack in just a post why those claims are ahistorical, but i will say that it is fucking nuts to look at an issue of capitalism and say “yeah it’s a problem, but, well, i’m just going to win at it 🤩” and call it feminism.
and that is the problem with white feminism. it just turns into idiots trying to speak on single topics and cherry pick their agendas, even though, in a sociopolitical or socioeconomic sense, it doesn’t work like that. you cannot talk about feminism without discussing western society, organized religion, global superpowers, communities of color, colonization, climate change, corporations, monopolies and more. anything less is useless at best and misleading at worst.
(because when you don’t, you get brain dead hot takes like “patriarchy has existed since the dawn of time, and so has money!”)
it’s like how greta thunberg said that she started as just a climate change activist, but now she’s basically a total anti-capitalist advocating for a complete disruption and overthrow to the way the world currently runs because she realized that advocating for that and advocating for climate justice are one and the same.
and if you criticize taylor swift for talking out of her ass, you’ll be hit with brainwashed swifties throwing out the word “misogyny” or “you’d never ask another celebrity this” or “you’re holding her to her own standards” because they’ve been hearing taylor’s bullshit feminism for so long that now they’ve adopted it as their own
taylor’s feminism will NEVER surpass the self-serving role it fills in her life because to do so would mean confronting the bigotry she has upheld, the questionable people she spends her time with, the wealth she is hoarding, her impact on the environment, and much more.
which is… fine, i guess. she doesn’t have to be a good feminist. but in that case she needs to pick a side and shut her fucking mouth about it. because letting her romp around spewing out the most egocentric and individualistic interpretations of it is boring and unhelpful.

it's a little sad that people expect songs to always reflect the lives of the lyricist and not a sign of the lyricist's strong imagination.
you don't know mitski. you don't know hozier. kate bush did not witness a murder of a hammer horror star and take their role as the hunchback of notre dame (it would be fun if she did though)
i haven't really listened or liked any t-swift song since she switched to pop (nothing against pop, judas by lady gaga 4ever) but I think the funniest thing she could do rn is write a vague song that sounds like she murdered someone and feels guilty, but doesn't want people to know because she's famous, and watch everyone go insane with theories
I have GREAT news for you about the song Out of the Woods by Taylor Swift
i tohught you were joking?????
i keep seeing posts that are like 'taylor swift is qanon for white women' and while it's a funny sentence i need everyone on this website to understand that qanon is already qanon for white women
The most egregious biphobia is everyone insisting Taylor swift is bi for no reason like what did we do to you people
i'm a taylor swift centrist. she makes perfectly tolerable pop music that i can't imagine really getting into. dunno what it is about her that makes so many people go insane
i listen to one of these relatively bland and inoffensive but nonetheless well-crafted pop songs and everyone around me demands that i proclaim it a masterpiece or artistically bankrupt or whatever. i just want to grill for god's sake
taylor swift fans interpret her lyrics the way protestants interpret the bible
sentences you can only get on tumblr
THIS IS SODNFJSKNJKSNFKS
i’m losing my fuckibg mind
