On a completely unrelated note, I think tomorrow for breakfast I’ll be enjoying a bagel with ✨cream cheese✨ on it 🥰

Holy shit they BOTH lost 🤭

A man is standing at a pastor’s pulpit in a church looking toward the congregation. He has a giddy grin on his face, and the question “Ain’t God good?” appears at the bottom in basic meme font.

Be honest with me:
Would y’all read things I write?

My chaotic rambling via Teams the other day has me wanting to articulate my thoughts when they need to come out. I feel I’ve always been somewhat of a decent writer.

What do we even use for long-form content now? Surely not tumblr or blogspot?

One time, someone at work couldn’t fathom how a man could be a Swiftie and when they said this to me, I said “Wow, that’s quite the void to fill.”

I got reported for “bullying” 😭😭

larissa⸆⸉ @larissa.swifties.social · 2d

i never know what to say when someone hears i’m a swiftie and immediately feels the need to let me know they hate taylor and they think she’s overrated. like what reaction would you like to get from me here? because i really don’t care, i just feel a little sorry for you lmao

The rambling in question:

bsky.app/profile/chor...

Christian 🫶🏻 ⸆⸉ @chorusl1n3.swifties.social · 5d

In case anyone’s curious, I took notes by sending myself in Teams messages while listening

They only go up to track 6 because that’s all I could stand to listen to. I’ve never posted any think pieces online, but this I just couldn’t hold in

They’re mad, unfiltered thoughts. Sorry if any are harsh.

Screenshot messages sent to myself in a Teams chat to take notes during an “opinion” stream of Taylor’s new album. The blurbs read as follows:

the Al slop with the doors is not Taylor's fault. This was between TN and Youtube. She hates Al

She did not lose the folklore/evermore lyricism. It's there, you just don't understand or relate and that's fine, just say that

a frequency problem?? She's doing what she loves. she said in The Prophecy she doesn't want money. this is her passion. she can release albums whenever tf she wants to

"i just want the music to be good" it objectively is ???? you don't have to like it but don't say she's compromising quality

Track 1:
saying the album "lacks bridges" while a bridge is playing is cuckoo for cocoa puffs

"dont like the idea of her celebrating being saved by a man" THATS NOT WHAT FATE OF OPHELIA IS. and even if it were, so what if that was her experience?? she said this album was about HER LIFE, not universal experiences

Track 2:
learn about Elizabeth Taylor's life before judging this song.

to be cringe is to be free, and Taylor has been cringy since 2012. Move on

Screenshot messages sent to myself in a Teams chat to take notes during an “opinion” stream of Taylor’s new album. The blurbs read as follows:

THE ALBUM IS NOT SUPPOSED TO GIVE SHOWGIRL. ITS ABOUT HER LIFE WHILE BEING ONE. АААННННННН

yet another bridge after complaining about bridges. crazy

she didnt "promise" anything, especially not a redo of 1989. Stfu

Track 4:
"wah i don't like the d***'s bigger part wah" listen to the clean version then.. tf?

"kisses the mahogany grain isn't as clever as she thinks it is" just say you're surface level

"what does she know about trade" SHE WAS QUOTING SOMEONE. ARE WE EVEN LISTENING???

oh look, another gd bridge

claiming she lost her lyricism with father figure being your fave is crazy considering that same lyricism is all over the album. just say you dont understand it yet and move on

Track 5:
starting off with comparing all other track fives to this one is bold for sure. (This message continues but is cut off, will be included in next slide.

(Continued from previous slide)

Track 5:
starting off with comparing all other track fives to this one is bold for sure. this song wasn't written for you and that's okay, but it doesn't make it bad or cringy (its meant to be cringe) or less than

(The following blurbs are new)

the cringe is intentionally ironic. if you can't grasp that dont listen to it bro

"it sounds good if you dont know english ACTUALLY, its the exact opposite. its good BECAUSE we know english. open a book.

0/10 for a song you dont relate to or care to open your mind on is insulting. bro ain't a swiftie

Track 6:
this is "classic taylor" but none of the others are???

Same format. Messages read as below:

I had to give up. Every take was so closed minded and dense and short sighted that it's not even fair to continue. Call yourself a sad music fan and not a Swiftie, because you're not an actual, honorable Swiftie if you are a fan of only albums and not Taylor Alison Swift the artist, businesswoman, musician, songwriter, and lastly, person with valid feelings and experiences.

It's also worth noting that I spoke up in the Twitch chat in defense of Taylor, her lyrics, and the intentional ironies within, and I was muted from sending messages. This person was not here to host a "discuss" stream, this person hosted a "here are my superficial, incomprehensible, and accusatory statements shrouded as opinions and anyone who isn't here to stroke my ego and spew validation is not welcome" stream.
I realize that there are many folks who do this and feel this way, but this person has a large following and claims to be a Fearless Swiftie. It saddens me to see such a long-time "fan" lose touch with who Taylor is and how she composes her music. If you prefer the 2020-2024 albums, that's fine, but that Taylor was miserable. THIS is the most "Taylor" Taylor we've had since then. She is happy, she is embodying her cringe millennialism, she is in love, confident, on top of the friggin' world.
2020 lyrics came from depression, desertion, incompatibility, and so many other things she didn't deserve to feel. Objectively, these lyrics are just as deep, profound, and meaningful. even when 180'd to the other side, and the problem lies within the inability to comprehend that.
That Taylor was depressed. That Taylor was begging to be seen, heard, and appreciated. That Taylor wanted to verifiably kill herself.
And to say you prefer that? Or that she needs to go back to that simply because you "don't get it"?
A slow, depressing music fan, maybe. But a loving, knowing, all-in fan of Taylor Swift the person?
No, I'm sorry, but the Swiftie badge is not for you.
