screaming into the void about how subversive it is to release this album in the midst of the WAG era. this album is her Trojan Horse.

let me repeat.

So sorry that you have to deal with that from your mother….. I no longer talk to my dad because he is a radicalized trumper. It’s sad what these people have been led to believe about their own families at the hands of manipulative god complex patriarchal leaders

“That’s the joy of the double entendre, people think they know what I’m talking about but it just goes right over their head” -Taylor swift speaking about wood….. youtu.be/Evt_y5Rwpk0?... ok so the conventional interpretation isn’t true then confirmed

Hey kids🏳️‍🌈Spelling is fun! @spellingisfunlor13.bsky.social · 22h

Listening to the back half of the album with this in mind really made things look a lot different for me. I think Wi$hli$t could be her singing about what queer celebrities (queer people in general) want. They just want to be around fellow queer people and have the world leave them the fuck alone

tree 🪾🏕️ aka cady heron @treepaineburner.bsky.social · 1d

reposting for clarity: I think taylor might be quietly referencing “New Kids on The Block” with her “have a couple kids, got the whole block looking like you.”

it was driving me nuts because the language choices were so specific and contradictory to what we (think) we know about her

I totally can see this as a possibility within the context of the play within a play

I didn’t even get into how hamlet and Ophelia were together but then hamlet accidentally killed her father and drove her mad

All these old Taylor’s have to die during act 5 in order to have the phoenix rise from the ashes on December 13.

tori🧡🤍🩷 @femmelor.bsky.social · 1d

The need to please the crowd is what killed every version of Taylor along the way. But here on Dec 12, (likely December 13th at midnight) we see a resolution. Someone will rise forth from the ashes of all this destruction to tell the story.After all, Chely wright said coming out is “like a birthday”

Laertes falls first and warns Hamlet ‘thou art slain’ and that ‘the king, the king’s to blame’. Referring to Claudius who commited the original attack on hamlets father to gain the throne.

The crowd is your king…the kings to blame.

Act 5/ Nov 29- Dec 12: the resolution

Act 5 gets wild. Hamlet apologizes to and sympathizes with Laertes, who has lost his father and sister. There is this huge fight where Gertrude, Laertes, hamlet, and Claudius are all poisoned and die.

Moment in the spotlight as the protagonist. But in the end, this can only go on for so long, there has to be a resolution. Every story ends. Which brings us to act 5.

tori🧡🤍🩷 @femmelor.bsky.social · 1d

How much of Ophelia’s suffering is hamlets fault? Hamlet just wanted to protect his own family and made a mistake. When Ophelia dies by su*cide from her madness, should hamlet also suffer? I think Taylor has had so many reinventions, times where she killed off one character to give the next their

tori🧡🤍🩷 @femmelor.bsky.social · 1d

My ideas for connections to Taylor: we are the reader. Trying to discern who is at fault for all these characters suffering/death. Who can be blamed? It’s not easy to just point a figure at one certain offender. A good guy and a bad guy. The lines are blurred.

Act 4/ Nov 15- Nov 28 : falling action

Following Polonius's death, Ophelia descends into madness. Hamlet is exiled. Laertes, polonius’s son returns and vows he will avenge his fathers death and his sisters suffering.

Key event:Ophelia’s madness and death by drowning.

Also, the play is called the mousetrap. “If it feels like a trap you’re already in one”

Polonius serves as a symbol of corruption. His death at the hands of hamlet leads to hamlet being EXILED. to England. Yes I’m serious… exiled

Act 3/Nov 1-Nov 14: Climax

The play within a play exposes Claudius, the betrayer. In a fit of rage, Hamlet accidentally kills polonius who was eavesdropping. Polonius is characterized by his arrogance and desire for approval. He is a hypocrite, and he is the father of Ophelia.
