The broader point though is that we are collectively powerful — Taylor starts these discourses with the goal of tapping into OUR power.

She uses her celebrity persona to hold a mirror up to our most problematic behaviors and values. The subsequent discourse is actually shifting the Overton window

we all shine on! 🌙✨🌈 @instantkarmaisacat.bsky.social · 1d

Honestly … yeah. And I believe this is her entire game, too — she knew what discourse her word choices would cause, and now there’s a counter discussion unfolding around that exact point. Collectively everyone is wasting energy on the wrong fucking thing.

When she says, “I’m not the art police,” she also means “and therefore neither should you be” — spend your time getting angry about the REAL shit. The obsession with online virtue signaling over celebrities just keeps people 1) distracted and 2) easy to control

The Fate of Ophelia: The Story of Us. The Poet & The Showgirl.

The Fate of Ophelia is a story told from The Poet’s perspective, or, Showgirl’s perception of Poet’s perspective. It’s a romanticised tale, told thru the Midnights & Fortnight MV’s where Showgirl rescues & reunites with Tortured Poet.

Wait i feel the need to clarify here:
I was a fan but more casual listener, not fully aware of the eggs aspect or gaylor or performanceartlor.
I wish i found this community way earlier in my life lol

This was the first time i had been around her really and i didn’t want my 🍃 ramblings about TS performanceart to be her first impression of me 😅
But next time i don’t think I’ll be able to hold back and will spill the full gaylor info. No clue how it will go lol

giblor🩷💜💙🧶🍃 @giblor89.bsky.social · 2d

I was with the person I’ve been hangin w recently + their roommates last night. I had just ripped the b0ngo. the gal bought up TS, the album/engagement. i could tell she was a GP.
I was too zooted to make a fool of myself and say my real thoughts so i just had to bite my tongue :/

giblor🩷💜💙🧶🍃 @giblor89.bsky.social · 2d

Yes!! I wasn’t even a big big fan during these eras but i still remember these pictures so easily but so many of the gp seems to have conveniently forgotten about it

sharing an alternate perspective from Sunny Adcock re racial implications in the album (whether you agree or not on the intent), in case anyone had not considered this lens. we have to acknowledge that high-risk rhetoric and slang comes with consequences

OPINION
In 'Eldest Daughter' she confuses a movement made to shine light on the burnout and mental health struggles caused by the parentification of (mostly ethnic) firstborn daughters at the hands of their parents, as a platform to reheat her own nachos about being a (white) woman in an industry that loves to tear women apart.
Never mind that she appears to use the same track to compare herself to Kelce's ex-lovers (the majority of whom are Black women) who she describes as "bad bitches" and
"savage" — heavily racialised terms reclaimed by Black women in the hip-hop industry to denote inner strength, assertiveness, bite and resilience. Instead, Taylor, by contrast, claims to be unaggressive and uncool, but "will never let [himl down"

OPINION
Her attempt to distance herself from Black culture is strange given that this song - one of her most try-hard - features
AAVE (African-American Vernacular English, or alternatively Travis-Kelce-accessible language) in lines like "we looked fire" and is nearly unrecognisable from the introspective and Shakespearean lyrics that made albums like Folklore and Evermore so critically acclaimed. This album is also unquestionably her most sexual to date, and until the advent of Sabrina Carpenter, only hyper-sexualised Black women were allowed to talk about enjoying sex.
These racial undertones are further on display in 'Opalite', where Taylor sings about a lover who overcomes sleepless
"onyx nights" in his romantic life and is rewarded with
"opalite" skies. It's not hard to interpret these lyrics literally, given that Taylor — Travis' white fiancée — is also milky white and iridescent like opalite. And while I'm nearly certain that Swift didn't intend to reinforce white supremacy and eugenics with the comparison, it's particularly tone-deaf given the cultural climate we now find ourselves in.

what is very much on display with this album is the outcome of compounding narratives and confirmation bias. If you already believe a certain thing about Taylor then whatever you see in the media strengthens your bias. this album will mirror your beliefs back to you if you take the bait
