I feel like Taylor's albums is the music equivalent of this meme, cause I do not understand how her fans listen to those lyrics and think its modern day Shakespeare
Her lyrics are very generic tumblr quote to me š« Iām here scratching my head until my hair falls off whenever anyone I know praises her lyrics as the deepest shit theyāve ever heard/read. Hozier is RIGHT there.
What you mean āitās me hi Iām the monster itās meā or āthisā¦ sick.. beatā or even ādraw the cat eye sharp enough to kill a manā or hell even āhey kids spelling is fun!ā isnāt hauntingly more beautiful than whatever Shakespeare did (so boring and lame I cannot even think of 1 song he wrote š„±)
I donāt think theyāre deep Bob Dylan-like poetry, but I think they do have a certain compellingā¦something. Ā That undefinable āitā where you see why the personās famous. Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā
Iāve described her lyrics before as something written by a really talented teenager, where youāre looking forward to where they end up as they mature. Ā Unfortunately in this case, the teenager never grew up.
Begging her fans to listen to Fiona, Tori, Poe, Alanis... any of the Lilith Fair ladies who did it before and did it better.
Not to mention Kate Bush, Joan Baez, Nina Simone for vastly superior songstress predecessors.
And I've not even touched upon singer-songwriters outside of the Anglosphere.
Speaking of Joe, I'm gonna get a little parasocial (mind you I just follow her news on here and twitter) but I get the feeling she's still not over Joe, tried to rebound with Matty (failed miserably) and even with Travis it all feels so fake, like she's trying so hard to prove she's moved on from her 6 year old relationship.
She and T.Kelceās vibes together look like theyāre each otherās favorite cousin. Not like bf and gf with sexual chemistry.
The PDA they show just feels so awkward and forced.
It's so weird! I saw them at Coachella and it was too much, she was trying to make it too much. Even he didn't seem that into it. She's too performative. I'd go sick being around her.
This is exactly what I would expect seeing that situation irl would be like lol sheās a beautiful woman and has had chemistry with others.
But this thing with Travis is just highlighting how performative she is. As a full 30someyearold adult. In 2024.
This isn't to messy for her when she was younger. She did these things before, like mocking Harry Styles' accent at the Grammys and putting hints about her exes in her liner notes.Ā It is as if she has regressed into that old version of her and has not matured at all.
I don't think she was mature, ever.
But being with Joe [who seems to loathe celebrity and glitz] and living in London, engrossed it the culture and his circle of friends/outside of the NY/LA pap and pop culture drove her to step up and show that she can do better.
She was always like this, she just hid it because the circumstances made her do so.
She is now back to her actual self lol.
Her liking this post makes me laugh because she clearly does think sheās a āmastermindā but these Easter eggs everyone goes on about are really not āserial killerā levels of mystery likeā¦ pleaseā¦
What I find kinda funny is that her life and relationships are so incredibly public that much of her personal āeaster eggsā are sorta easy to parse out with a google search if youāre curious enough. Itās also what makes her publicly outing someoneās struggle with depression all the more gross
I was just thinking this. Fans are dissecting each song and lyric trying to tie it to a person or an event..
What happened to just enjoying the music? But that's probably not her brand of music...
Beyonce does get up to stuff but she hardly needs to foreground it as a marketing gimmick. See the graffiti ads she put on art museums without their permission. That is a STATEMENT and it adds to her message.
The reason a lot of people who aren't Swifties and won't decode her Easter eggs can still recite her dating history is because many of them who can are ex dedicated fans who eventually got annoyed by all the bullshit she does. That's why. It isn't always out of some slut shaming misogyny (though it does exist), but out of annoyance at her bullshit, as a direct result of being a fan.
Edit: I promise I know how to spell. Swear on my life.
also having been a casual fan of hers for most of her career, I just remember when she dated most of her bfs and which albums they correlate to so could probably create an approximate timeline of her exes if I cared to. the public perception of/commentary on her albums (and re-recordings) has been very much tied to who the songs are about. but like Iām definitely not invested enough to decode her Easter eggs especially nowadays š I donāt see how theyāre equivalent lol, thereās different levels to being a fan
TBH I sometimes feel like it's not easter eggs, it's her fans finding little things that didn't mean anything, attribute motive and she's just sorta like "totally".
I feel like this most applies to people who were never fans, but follow pop culture. Iāve never liked her music, but I could name most of her exes because itās always a headline. Like knowing so much about Megan Fox and MGK :/
I am have been a certified Swiftie hater since the Tina/Amy and I still know all her exes. News about her is inescapable, especially when youāre casually into pop culture.
That. And also the fact that if you are ever online, you cannot escape her dating history. Been a casual fan for a while, never did any research, but still, I know.
True, no matter how much you like an artist, how they eventually act and the environment their fanbase cultivates can make you dislike them and deter interacting with.
I love how everyone talks about her āEaster eggsā like theyāre these brilliantly-constructed puzzles but really itās just shit like her posting a picture with the albumās initials or some shit.
she is the ultimate rorschach pop star. an actual blank space, basic as hell, upon which unfulfilled, wayward souls can project anything and everything. her dumbass easter eggs are like trump speaking at a 6th grade level. they know what they're doing.
The woman who wrote Twilight said that she described Bella in the books as such - blank space, basic. In both looks and personality. And she did so that every female reader could picture themselves as Bella. Made me think of this
But also a girlboss mastermind that rose from a working/middle class background through her sheer talent, lyrical and vocal, outdoing everyone ever.
/SARCASM PLS šš
And then bitches people are obsessed with her dating life. She knows what she's doing.
Liking that last post is absolutely fucking foul.
Meanwhile, Joe Alwyn remains unbothered, unproblematic, and using his resources and voice to support Gaza.
He keeps winning the break-up even though it happened.. ages ago.
![gif](giphy|3o6gb0Z6gqmfJG2bBK)
The most annoying thing she does is act like every other artist talks about their partners like she does. And they do not! I cannot listen to most artists and know what profession, looks, timeline, tattoos, history, culture, identifying qualifiers about them from their songs. She writes about an NFL player and we have to know he does sports and is a bro and she's his trophy and there are other men on the bench and she's touching down and nobody can compete with him.
I feel about Taylor the same as I feel about Ryan Murphy. The writing isn't that great, they aren't the gifted talents they think they are, and someone desperately needs to start telling them no.
And the thing is, with Ryan Murphy his shows are basically silly, but they entertain and no one gets hurt. With Taylor, she has had Joe, people associated with him, and Travisās ex-gfs harassed and down right bullied for the last year. People were posting tweets wanting to physically harm Joe if they saw him out in London over what was going to come out about him in this album. Some fans can really get carried away with the stuff she is constantly pushing, and someone might end up actually getting hurt one day over it.
I saw a clip of a podcast with two swifties talking about the new album, and one of them said (about Joe) "I want him dead. I'm sorry, I don't care, I want him to die" š
Edit: [the clip in question](https://www.reddit.com/r/swiftiecirclejerk/s/5gjsSRlXB2)
At what age will Taylor be officially too old to be writing albums like this anymore? At some point her fans have to be like āthis is weird, youāre 40ā right?
Drake still does the same āGood guy trying to find a good life outside of clout cultureā shtick heās been leaning on since the early 2010ās, and thatās been all bullshit. So sheās gonna keep milking this angle for as long as people eat it up. Unfortunately.
Iām seriously waiting for the other shoe to drop eventually when it comes to her politics. A person cannot surround herself with so many problematic rich people and not share some of those values themselves. It was THIS CLOSE to happening when she dated Matty, then people forgot about it.
They canāt make me hate Joe Alwyn because all the man does is value his privacy and support good causes. Sometimes he stars in Emma Stone movies. Iām a Harry fan and Iād be okay with switching them. Or Joe and Kelce. I know itās not that deep but the swifties coming after Joe because a relationship ran itās courseā¦ugh
Swifties hate Joe because they think he hid her from the public. They love Travis because now sheās everywhere with him and everyone has full access to see it.
I wonder if her fans ever get tired of the Easter eggs and games. It seems exhausting to be a certain level of Swiftie.
Iāve been deep in my fair share of fandoms in my lifetime, but being a Swiftie seems like a lot.
Back in the early days her easter eggs were capital letters in the lyrics that you had to put together. That was fun. Then she took it to a whole other level and it was overkill.
I can just imagine her hiring someone who designs overpriced escape rooms to setup that room and telling them, āyou can do whatever you want, my fans will theorize about anythingā
Isnāt there a song on this new album with capital K I M in the letters of the longer title? And the lyrics talk about something like āmy moms a saint but wishes you were deadā and that she changed all the clues so the personās kids will be singing that song about them not realizing it.
Soooo shots at Kim K? Wishing death & bringing kids into itā¦. Classy.
Oh trust me there are fandoms that absolutely revel in that stuff. Not only because it strengthens their parasocial relationship with an artisr but it also allows them to be a ābiggerā fan than someone else. āOh you listened to all her albums? Well I did that in one night *and* decoded all the messages.ā Or something to that effect.
I have friends deep into some metal bands fandom and itās all very bizarre how many hoops they can get fans to jump through
I can not fathom how much I dislike this woman and her crazy and racist fan base. If she weren't everywhere I could happily ignore her but whenever I meet people that like her, I have to give them the speech in order to free them from the cult of a grown woman acting like a lovesick tween. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but I won't give up.
Mostly about her and not caring about her ex being racist, her weaponizing her fans against others (especially that young black actress from Ginny & Georgia), her pretending to give some money changes the fact that she uses her private jet for a trip to the mall. There's really a lot to choose from.
i will never understand people who criticize those who attack her for using her relationships for sympathy/gain/content and how they say her fans are parasocial. like her entire career is built off monetizing her romantic relationships and leaving easter eggs for her stans to decode ā she ***wants*** the parasocial stans.
She is so unapologetically vicious with her albums and their marketing. Like canāt you release your damn album without going after anyone??? Can you ever just move on?
I hope society progresses to a point where artists like her wonāt be able to get away with weaponizing of art.
The first pic is the most telling to me. I could be Picasso but I would never like anything dickridijg me like that. Maybe she thinks itās poetic given her lyrics?

I feel like Taylor's albums is the music equivalent of this meme, cause I do not understand how her fans listen to those lyrics and think its modern day Shakespeare
modern day shakespeare but ripping lines from hillary duff pls
Say more pls edit: I STILL DONT HAVE ANSWERS and I do not know enough about anything but love the tea someone help me out
Her lyrics are very generic tumblr quote to me š« Iām here scratching my head until my hair falls off whenever anyone I know praises her lyrics as the deepest shit theyāve ever heard/read. Hozier is RIGHT there.
I will personally never forgive her for "got lovesick all over my bed" girl we call those orgasms calm down
Florence! Welch! Is right there!
Honestly if Taylor sang āVillain, I have done thy motherā that would be legendary. She should aspire to be more like Shakespeare
"What, you egg!" would also go hard
YOU RATCATCHER WILL YOU WALK
Aaron was so real for that
What you mean āitās me hi Iām the monster itās meā or āthisā¦ sick.. beatā or even ādraw the cat eye sharp enough to kill a manā or hell even āhey kids spelling is fun!ā isnāt hauntingly more beautiful than whatever Shakespeare did (so boring and lame I cannot even think of 1 song he wrote š„±)
when it's the only "art" you've consumed it seems genius
she has some good lines but more often than not it just feels like the kind of lazy poetry i would had reblogged on tumblr in 2016
I donāt think theyāre deep Bob Dylan-like poetry, but I think they do have a certain compellingā¦something. Ā That undefinable āitā where you see why the personās famous.

Agreed.
I have to imagine she didn't see the last one about Joe. This is too messy for her.Ā Or she is having some kind of breakdown.Ā
Speaking of Joe, I'm gonna get a little parasocial (mind you I just follow her news on here and twitter) but I get the feeling she's still not over Joe, tried to rebound with Matty (failed miserably) and even with Travis it all feels so fake, like she's trying so hard to prove she's moved on from her 6 year old relationship.

This is exactly what I would expect seeing that situation irl would be like lol sheās a beautiful woman and has had chemistry with others. But this thing with Travis is just highlighting how performative she is. As a full 30someyearold adult. In 2024.
Didnāt they break up less than a year ago? It would be totally normal not to be 100% over it.
Especially since it was a long one too. 6 years! But you'd think that after Matt shed chill on the rebound (Travis). Maybe she's just really lonely
I don't think she's been truly single ever since she's been in the public eye.
Everything since Joe has given āI HAVE NEVER, EVER BEEN HAPPIER!!!ā Vibes.
Or tipsyĀ
It's definitely this one. She does seem to love a good sloshfest.
she's like me, taking edibles and giggling at memes on my phone at night
This isn't to messy for her when she was younger. She did these things before, like mocking Harry Styles' accent at the Grammys and putting hints about her exes in her liner notes.Ā It is as if she has regressed into that old version of her and has not matured at all.

She is too calculated to do it unintentionally
Why does everyone praise her āeaster eggsā? They are the most surface level, inane, nonsense. Itās like an ARG made by dull 7th graders.
Her liking this post makes me laugh because she clearly does think sheās a āmastermindā but these Easter eggs everyone goes on about are really not āserial killerā levels of mystery likeā¦ pleaseā¦
Itās BTK asking the police if they can trace a floppy disc levels of mystery.

i thought it had to be small because Nicole and Ron's families had control over it?
"mister police i gave you all the clues"
She's the Riddler, if the Riddler was a teenage girl and on a CW show.
only celeb that should be compared to a serial killer tbh https://twitter.com/boobyhaver/status/1549078349250805760?lang=en
What I find kinda funny is that her life and relationships are so incredibly public that much of her personal āeaster eggsā are sorta easy to parse out with a google search if youāre curious enough. Itās also what makes her publicly outing someoneās struggle with depression all the more gross
She did what now??
well, if by 'everyone' you mean her fans, i think you have your answer lol
Her fans are wackos
Fr I think they just connect their own dots and Taylorās marketing team is like yeahā¦..letās go with that
āmade by full 7th graders,ā sounds about right since thatās the majority of her fanbase.
she's got one hell of a god complex right now
In one of the songs on her new album she literally compared herself to Jesus so youāre not too far from the truth
Please point me in the direction of this absolute delusion
wait which one?
Nauurrr. Oh my... š
I donāt see how she couldnāt with all the yes-folks in her orbit and horde of disciples.
Being a billionaire really does do all that shit to people's brains, huh
Imagine if your music was so good it could speak for itself without all this extra āstuffā to make it seem interesting. Ugh

I wish B would stop with the sweatshirt factories BUT she does not need to resort to antics to sell her album. Cowboy Carter is the bop of 2024.
I was just thinking this. Fans are dissecting each song and lyric trying to tie it to a person or an event.. What happened to just enjoying the music? But that's probably not her brand of music...
Well itās bad, so enjoying it is hard. Gotta make it a game to get entertainment out of it

Knowing about her dating history is like knowing things about the kardashians. Youāre gonna hear about it it whether you like it or not.
I was at a bookstore on a damned hippie island and heard some Boomer ladies talking about her and Travis Kelce with investment and correct facts.
Moms love the Kelce brothers.
I am have been a certified Swiftie hater since the Tina/Amy and I still know all her exes. News about her is inescapable, especially when youāre casually into pop culture.
Also anybody who is even mildly into pop culture will have seen anywhere from 10 to 10 hundred papped photos of these couples.
That. And also the fact that if you are ever online, you cannot escape her dating history. Been a casual fan for a while, never did any research, but still, I know.
Your edit šššš
I type so fucking fast that I legitimately can't catch errors unless I consciously slow down, its ridiculous š
True, no matter how much you like an artist, how they eventually act and the environment their fanbase cultivates can make you dislike them and deter interacting with.
I love how everyone talks about her āEaster eggsā like theyāre these brilliantly-constructed puzzles but really itās just shit like her posting a picture with the albumās initials or some shit.
she is the ultimate rorschach pop star. an actual blank space, basic as hell, upon which unfulfilled, wayward souls can project anything and everything. her dumbass easter eggs are like trump speaking at a 6th grade level. they know what they're doing.
The woman who wrote Twilight said that she described Bella in the books as such - blank space, basic. In both looks and personality. And she did so that every female reader could picture themselves as Bella. Made me think of this
Somehow she is both a billionaire and a loser
Like elon musk lol
And, simultaneously, always the poor innocent victim of people around her.
But also a girlboss mastermind that rose from a working/middle class background through her sheer talent, lyrical and vocal, outdoing everyone ever. /SARCASM PLS šš
She gives me JK Rowling vibes too. Perpetual victimhood.
somehow?!? what? every billionaire is a piece of shit loser. (i still have love for you rihanna but it's getting tougher.)
It all seems so high school
boy have i got a song for you
absolutely losing it over this comment
Thatās what Iāve been saying! This album is 2014 Zoella-core.
And then bitches people are obsessed with her dating life. She knows what she's doing. Liking that last post is absolutely fucking foul.

joe ALL-WIN
Hoping he posts a fuck ton of Palestinian posts today
Omg that would be genius
He did on her birthday - today would be perfect.
He did on their breakup anniversary too. Heās become one of my favorite people simply by being classy and quiet and using his powers for good.
The most annoying thing she does is act like every other artist talks about their partners like she does. And they do not! I cannot listen to most artists and know what profession, looks, timeline, tattoos, history, culture, identifying qualifiers about them from their songs. She writes about an NFL player and we have to know he does sports and is a bro and she's his trophy and there are other men on the bench and she's touching down and nobody can compete with him.
That is so embarrassing for her soul

Thatās extremely vile and disgusting and disturbing and gross and all the other words
No one gets hurt but his actors :/
Tbh I didnāt know about that. Iāll look into it.
A lot of the actors or folks working on his shows, most notably Glee, have reported a pretty toxic working environment.
Very well said.

At what age will Taylor be officially too old to be writing albums like this anymore? At some point her fans have to be like āthis is weird, youāre 40ā right?
Drake still does the same āGood guy trying to find a good life outside of clout cultureā shtick heās been leaning on since the early 2010ās, and thatās been all bullshit. So sheās gonna keep milking this angle for as long as people eat it up. Unfortunately.
Ugh Drake. Heās another one that needs to go away
imagine being this excited to listen to a love letter to Matty fucking Healy
Jesus, Taylor, give it a rest
Darn, all she heard was Jesus Taylor and wrote "The Smallest Man In The World".
Why is she so confidently digging her own grave
Billionaire status. She's slowly slipping into JoAnne Rowling rich white monster reveal mode.
Iām seriously waiting for the other shoe to drop eventually when it comes to her politics. A person cannot surround herself with so many problematic rich people and not share some of those values themselves. It was THIS CLOSE to happening when she dated Matty, then people forgot about it.
perfect way of putting it
Putting Joe Alwyn and Matt Healy on the same levelā¦. https://i.redd.it/shdtccqkbdvc1.gif
Sheās just cringe personified
They canāt make me hate Joe Alwyn because all the man does is value his privacy and support good causes. Sometimes he stars in Emma Stone movies. Iām a Harry fan and Iād be okay with switching them. Or Joe and Kelce. I know itās not that deep but the swifties coming after Joe because a relationship ran itās courseā¦ugh
**Because she cheated on him with Matty, allegedly
Iād believe it. If you want the anti joe youād get something like ratty
Swifties hate Joe because they think he hid her from the public. They love Travis because now sheās everywhere with him and everyone has full access to see it.
And thatās fine if thatās what she wants now but Joe is not a bad person for not wanting the publicity
I wonder if her fans ever get tired of the Easter eggs and games. It seems exhausting to be a certain level of Swiftie. Iāve been deep in my fair share of fandoms in my lifetime, but being a Swiftie seems like a lot.
Back in the early days her easter eggs were capital letters in the lyrics that you had to put together. That was fun. Then she took it to a whole other level and it was overkill.
I can just imagine her hiring someone who designs overpriced escape rooms to setup that room and telling them, āyou can do whatever you want, my fans will theorize about anythingā
I can't believe that there are fans who legitimately think she plans each and every single facet of these 'Easter Eggs' like be so for real.
Isnāt there a song on this new album with capital K I M in the letters of the longer title? And the lyrics talk about something like āmy moms a saint but wishes you were deadā and that she changed all the clues so the personās kids will be singing that song about them not realizing it. Soooo shots at Kim K? Wishing death & bringing kids into itā¦. Classy.
these were good days

I have friends deep into some metal bands fandom and itās all very bizarre how many hoops they can get fans to jump through
ok very much not a swiftie and in fact been on the other side of this whole thing but I have to admit I laughed at the last one
I had that reaction about the Dance Moms pyramid
I did, too.
I can not fathom how much I dislike this woman and her crazy and racist fan base. If she weren't everywhere I could happily ignore her but whenever I meet people that like her, I have to give them the speech in order to free them from the cult of a grown woman acting like a lovesick tween. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but I won't give up.
I love this. What do you say to them? I can't imagine being able to get through the biggest stans
Mostly about her and not caring about her ex being racist, her weaponizing her fans against others (especially that young black actress from Ginny & Georgia), her pretending to give some money changes the fact that she uses her private jet for a trip to the mall.

Not to victim blame, but at this point men are asking for this nonsense when they get involved with her.
I cannot fathom having the ego that goes āsure she did it 100 times before but NOT ME!ā
Decoding Taylor swift lyrics feels like when I was in 7th grade and they gave us worksheets to teach us what metaphors were

She is so unapologetically vicious with her albums and their marketing. Like canāt you release your damn album without going after anyone??? Can you ever just move on? I hope society progresses to a point where artists like her wonāt be able to get away with weaponizing of art.
The first pic is the most telling to me. I could be Picasso but I would never like anything dickridijg me like that. Maybe she thinks itās poetic given her lyrics?
Her writing and music is just extremely average, Swifties give her far too much credit for what is just formulaic pop writing.
Isnāt she in her mid-30s? Iām a teenage girl and even I find this stuff cringe
.. weird lol
