Tortured Poets was long and indulgent but I could at least defend it as a work with artistic integrity because it wasn’t interested in being a safe pop album and Taylor had something to say about her rise to mythic culture status. The Life of a Showgirl is just vapid to its core
i don’t even gaf if the fate of ophelia has the best musical beat ever conceived, as an ACTUAL english major, i refuse to listen to a song that implies ophelia might’ve reconsidered killing herself if she had just dated a quarterback
I think wood is a great example of how knowing things about artists can hinder the experience of pop music bc today I learned I have no problem singing about a dude’s disco stick as long as I don’t know exactly which dude’s disco stick we’re singing about
@fateofophe1ia_ I'm going to assume, as her future mother in law, Donna Kelce knows Taylor 9387383883 times better than I do or ever will and not worry about policing the internet activities of people close to Taylor.
@taylornation13@taylorswift13 It may be June, but it will never be June 2023 at Ford Field when Taylor sings Breathe for the first and only time during the Eras Tour 💛
STATEMENT FROM TIKTOK:
In agreement with our service providers, TikTok is in the process of restoring service. We thank President Trump for providing the necessary clarity and assurance to our service providers that they will face no penalties providing TikTok to over 170 million Americans and allowing over 7 million small businesses to thrive.
It’s a strong stand for the First Amendment and against arbitrary censorship. We will work with President Trump on a long-term solution that keeps TikTok in the United States.
