Am I The Only One Seeing The Lowkey Ableism When People Constantly Call Taylor Childish And Immature

Am i the only one seeing the lowkey ableism when people constantly call Taylor childish and immature as if childhood trauma doesn’t cause arrested development in the brain. This isn’t even about Taylor before someone comes at me for DeFenDiNg her and OMg SwiftIeS it’s actually about how those of us with trauma aren’t even allowed an ounce of empathy or compassions or understanding and the things we write about or even do will constantly be judged and how adults will always have some strict impossible standard to live up to and if we don’t reach that we are failures and automatically worthless and bad. It’s pretty hurtful seeing songs that you relate to being deemed childish when those songs are just… about feelings and emotional vulnerability.

when i die i hope my kindle paperwhite is buried with me so i can take it into my next life

can we talk about how wonderful this line is

i dream of cracking locks (where the harsh k sounds emphasize the action of cracking a lock) throwing my life to the wolves (where the wo sound is repeated in the first and last word) or the ocean rocks (again, the harsh k implying a cracking action like a jagged sharp stone, the o in or similar to the sound in throw and wolves) crashing into him tonight (the sh in crashing like the c sound in ocean)

because i looooove itttt

what's so clever about Clara Bow is that when she references her own name at the end, she's not talking about the present but the future, quoting the inevitable way people are going to one day talk about her, imagining it will only be in regards to the woma(e)n who surpass her. because there will be someone who surpasses her, eventually. that's the cycle of fame, isn't it? we're simultaneously captivated by the alluring trick of the past while looking for the next big thing. we compare current stars to the lights that shined before them, "you look like taylor swift." but we're also constantly waiting for someone new and greater to take the crown and captivate us anew, "you've got edge she never did." And half the song is about acknowledging that being revered is hell on earth for the people who are in it, because you're always trapped between what came before and what will come after. you're only safe insofar as you remain shiny. But the real beauty of the song is that it never succumbs to this dichotomy, but embraces it. It's Taylor acknowledging she wouldn't be who she is were it not for the women who came before her, who shared the same dreams, and recognizing her place in the chain of the women who will come after. The future's bright, dazzling.

All men do is shit on swifties and call us white and teenagers so why doesn’t anyone point out that most Taylor haters are balding white men in their 30’s - 40’s who are failed musicians
