Matty Healy was a fake and she fell for him so hard and fast he was obviously overwhelmed and didn't want to actually play house with her. The whole album is an embarrassment. After all these guys and being a "mastermind" she literally is telling the whole world to fk off so she can chase this loser who ghosted her. And now she's giving him the satisfaction of a whole album when they were just a literal fortnight. I am kind of shocked.

Except here's Travis and he's fawning her and all she can say is he's highschool playing video games. Like he's probably hurt by that deep down. She is kind of an idiot, but I guess if we all listen she's smart.

It’s such a tragic album really. It’s clear they both were hot for each other for a long time. They have the same producer and close friend, Jack Antonoff, who helped them stay in touch or reconnect. It is likely she left Joe who she was bored with to be with Matty. Then the fans went feral about Matty being “problematic” and also her tour had just started, so it was probably too much strain on him and the relationship. But yah, those two were pining for each other for over a decade (so many clues!) and would have made the cutest babies…unlike the current jock.
The lyric “I would have died for your sins, instead I just died inside…” She was ready to stick by him regardless of public opinion and her dad’s advice (though was she really going to throw so much away?), but he was probably spooked and wanted out.
All of this. They were so great together.
Eww. He’s a heroin user and perpetually looks like he needs bath.

Ok I'm the OP. Some time has allowed me to fall in love with some songs.
For the record, I'm a 1989/Rep loving Swiftie (in that I reliably go back to those albums the most).
So Long, London (woah. I mean... it's beautiful)
But Daddy I love him (feels like old Taylor and I love.)
My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys (really intriguing. love.)
I can do it with a broken heart (the banger that I needed).
Fellow 1989 loving Swifties, what songs do you love that I need to listen to 5x more to become obsessed?
Really? No “Bad Down”?
That was an instant fav for me. But I like aliens too, so maybe it’s a me thing 😄
Down Bad?

Right. That’s why she keeps making chart-topping album after chart-topping album, sells out shows people waited hours in line for tickets for, and breaks records. Because she lacks talent. LOL. Your opinions aren’t facts.
And Stanley mugs sell out too. There are lots of things people go crazy for and stand in line for. In this case, Taylor is a trend or a craze. They aren’t paying to see her for her talent. They would stand in line and pay to see her if she just walked around and talked to them and didn’t even sing.
She has taken singing lessons and can can carry a tune but she isn’t anything special when it comes to vocals.
