I mean, who really cares what they think if she's happy. I bet she doesn't. And you know they were all looking down their noses at her the whole time she was in their crowds. Such snobs.

This is deranged. Taylor quite obviously cares what they think because she wrote a whole song on this album about how she thinks they they make fun of her behind her back. It's clearly very important to her and she is viewing Matty's rejection as a rejection by this whole group of people/corner of the music industry. Sure, sure, she says in the song she doesn't care and it's funny because, omg, Charli is so obsessed with her. But if that's really how she felt, she wouldn't have made the lyrics so biting or vindictive.

Look, we know Taylor is petty. She always has been. It's one of the things I find relatable about her and her music because I can be petty too. But twisting ourselves into knots to justify everything she does or paint her as the good guy and victor in EVERY situation is cult like. Actually Romantic is a petty, vindictive song, and she is yet again using her very large microphone to go after a female peer because she feels insecure. Which is ironic because Charli used her much, much smaller microphone to release a song explicitly about feeling insecure around Taylor and trying to deal with that, but without trashing Taylor.

This time it's Taylor who's the smallest woman who ever lived, sorry.

It sounds like Charli and Taylor were beefing and she wrote about a song about it. People are really overthinking it. She has 100s of songs. To pick one and say it means she is obsessed or clearly never getting over something is odd. It’s what she does - picks a feeling and writes song. It also gets people talking which is not a bad thing.

I’m sure Charli bugs her and vice versa.

She is writing about Charli *right now.* "But she has written hundreds of other songs in the past"...okay? How does that prove she doesn't care about Charli? She is obviously very bothered by her.

I bet she's so bothered because of the Matty connection too. That's unfortunate. Its like the popular girl next door fighting with the popular bad girl crew. Again I don't see how she could do all of that for someone like Matty.

It’s not a good album. Nothing memorable at all and some downright bad/embarrassing. Her tortured pets one was better and that only has a couple good songs.

Agree. In we are never getting back together which might have been about JG but who knows, Taylor says “you hide away and find your peace of mind with some indie record that’s MUCH cooler than mine.”

This seems like a consistent theme in her life. People always just dismissing her thinking she’s bubblegum or a little girl pop or whatever, and then when she gets some success and hangs out with people like MH and his friends who are burning with jealousy over her success and creativity they have to find some subtle ways of putting her down like she sold out to pop or whatever.

Meanwhile, they look like true idiots. Matty’s wife is a model. She literally just stand there looking dumb and starved. They both look like they eat cigarettes for breakfast.

But man, they’re so cool!

Haha the eat cigarettes for breakfast look is exactly how I see this crew. I tried to be part of a cool group and was the outsider. So I understand how Taylor feels. The only difference is I was a freshman in high school. She needs to grow up a bit. The way to show you truly don’t care is to ignore something. Like Matty has done since he broke up with Taylor.

I don't follow the ins and outs of her life, but she's engaged to someone else? Why is she still talking about this other guy and his friends.

To be fair charli and taylor were friendly at one point so she probably feels betrayed on some level but context matters. Charli's husband is in Matty (her ex) music group. She was always going to side with Matty and I am sure did say something since the Matty/Taylor break up was bad. Imo she's just still upset about the Matty situation and transferring that anger to Charli. It's a childish song because it's a childish fight

Mostly skips for this Swiftie, but I like Ophelia, Elizabeth Taylor, the title track, and Father Figure.

Can someone help me decide whether Father Figure has a perspective switch? Does the father figure crush the protege at the end (all one narrator), or is there a perspective switch to the protege either when the chorus lyrics change slightly (“WE drank,” “THIS devil”) or at the key change (“Whose picture’s on the mantel?”)

She could have made it very obvious with a change to “you were my father figure” if a perspective change was intended, but she might have left it ambiguous on purpose.

If it’s inspired by Borchetta, the protege winning out makes sense, but I kind of prefer the darker ending with the father figure winning. It’s more interesting.

What don’t you see? She was in love with him for most of her adult life. Has admitted so in a million songs. He inspired her, kept her going all those late nights. Encouraged her to speak up and engage in political discussions. Set her sheets ablaze. Introduced her to old bands, retro films and classic texts.
He was one epic muse and a tease too: “I’m better at writing was just a way to get you biting.” They toyed with each other like this over the years, and their fans got to enjoy all those great songs and albums that were created in the process.

Matty Healy is the loss of Taylor’s life and not necessarily in just a romantic sense.

She is so not over him.

He looks like he doesn't shower and looks like he is high 24/7. I don't find it attractive but I guess one would if they like bad boys.

I don’t get the no shower comment. I suppose people with curly hair can appear dirty depending on how they style their curls, esp if you use gel or walk out on stage with wet hair. To me he just looks tired and sad these days, like his spark is gone. Very different from 2022-2023 Matty when he was hooking up with Taylor and doing those coy proclamations of love on stage in Malaysia, Australia etc.
I am curious about his band’s next album. The last one was awesome, but those were peak Taylor months and songs.

The album is exactly what she said it would be, a look behind the curtain during her eras tour. In that time she had her heart broken by Matty and saved by Travis. Lorde had her Brat summer. Sabrina took over. Controversy surrounding Blake and Brittany. Everybody left Scooter. She got her masters back. What am I forgetting or mixing up? I don’t think any of this album is meant to be punching down. It’s just her life for the past few years set to a more upbeat tempo. It’s not my favorite but after a few listens there are no skips for me.

She’s not she’s talking about one girl. One girl who’s been talking shit about her when Taylor had no beef the other direction. Did you actually listen to the song.

Exactly this.
