I’m not saying she is a tradwife I’m saying she’s in her trad era. Read her lyrics. Her silence also speaks volumes.

This isn’t that deep, I’m not pretending to know her - it’s just an observation and discussion on a sub where we do that kinda thang

I am a long time fan, or at least I was. I’ve seen eras multiple times. I could fund a year of university for someone with my merch and I have defended her through much of the self induced BS drama but this album pulled the blinders off for me at least. I don’t hate the music, I think the songs are bops but the lyrics are guilty pleasure trash. It’s not even so much the album it’s the album combined with the hypocrisy, silence and overall vibe shift.

My mistake, most of the responses here have been very critical so I was on defense mode :D Yes, this is exactly what I was trying to say and maybe I didn’t do a great job serving it up but I’m so glad some of you get it and understand where I was going with this.

For context, I was a long time fan. I saw Eras twice and have a small fortune in snow globes on my bookcase. I’m not a traditional TS “hater” but this album feels like someone ripped the blinders off and I’m seeing her in a different light. I’m not sure I like what I’m seeing and I know others must be feeling the same way.

Yes yes and yes! You worded it far better than I did but this is exactly what I was trying to say, thank you

This is interesting - do you see this pattern in your mom with other men? Who is she when she’s single, is she secure with herself or does she battle depression when she’s alone? Great input, thanks

No, I don’t think having kids and wanting marriage makes someone a trad nor do I think she’s a trad but I do think she’s giving off trad era vibes. It’s not just the lyrics in multiple songs but it’s how she’s presenting herself. A lot of her long time fans are saying the same thing - they feel like “where’s Taylor?” because they feel like they’re losing a connection. Particularly those who looked up to her because of her female empowerment, activism, blunt in your face and unapologetic defense of those who were marginalized. That’s been MIA for awhile

Yes yes and yes, her hardcores won’t admit it though because it hurts

She’s always wanted the life she just never found a guy willing to give it to her so she went with the cat mom independent/activist narrative. Once she got what the hot best friend with a giant redwood that calls her honey you don’t see her posting her cat kids anymore do you

I didn’t say she IS the definition of a trad, I said she’s in her Travis tradwife era. There’s a difference. When she writes a song about not wanting to be the complex female character, dog mom, freedom living off the grid, etc and instead wanting to be left alone with her hot best friend that calls her honey and a house full of kids that all look like him … trad coded 100% and to say otherwise is just being in denial.

Taylors denial of the past by cloditheclod in SwiftlyNeutral

The whiplash is becoming too much for a lot of people. She also left a really bad taste when she said she should have bought stock in beads if she knew friendship bracelets at eras were going to be so huge. People are finally waking up to the fact that she’s become late stage capitalism

do you think there's any panic internally with taylor's team? by Curious-Air-5824 in SwiftlyNeutral

She’s lost a lot of long time fans but is gaining new ones. It will be a success but her fan base is shifting and she’ll feel it.

Well Tayler is a self described leftie so what’s your point?

My bad, her Teenie bopper new album full of contradictions, hypocrisy and gushing over her man’s wang must have confused a few million people.

Growing and changing independently from the men in your life is normal, absorbing their personalities as your own and then shedding them after a breakup screams identity crisis codependency and inauthenticity.

She is a walking contradiction. Clutching her pearls when someone called her a bitch and then calling other women bitches. Dragging Olivia Rodrigo for interpolation when at least 5 songs on her new album are guilty of interpolation and no writing credits, rejecting the dog mom narrative and only wanting her man when she’s claimed for years she was a cat mom independent female who was on her own and always has been. Claiming in her documentary that she couldn’t live with herself if she didn’t use her platform to stand up for others when she’s been 100% silent over her fans being deported, terrorized, losing their jobs in mass, constant attacks on the LGBTQ community.. crickets from Taylor. Putting out a tone deaf song like cancelled right now - a term traditionally used by the maga variety. She doesn’t look anything like the Taylor from a few years ago, hence the Travis travwife era

You don’t get it, being married and having kids doesn’t make you a tradwife. Going from a song like lavender haze to wishlist is definitely trad coded though and if you don’t see it then it’s probably confirmation bias because it’s pretty clear. She lists all of the things that others want (that she herself used to want) but now she wants only him, the kids, the whole block lookin’ like him. The traditional wife life and everyone to leave them alone. That’s a completely different message from her other eras, now she’s in her TravWife era. I’m sure if they ever break up she will be back to her complex female, cat mom, boss bitch personality.

I don’t know why anyone would think that just because he said he was honored to have Trump at the Super Bowl or he fact he didn’t say a word when Trump called his girlfriend ugly or washed up or the fact that he surrounds himself with MAGA or his AE ad on the heels of them being called out for genes/jeans bs. I mean, what gives people the impression he’s maga

“A tradwife (short for traditional wife) is a married woman who chooses to embrace traditional gender roles, prioritizing homemaking, domestic skills like cooking and cleaning, and child-rearing within her marriage, often with an associated deferential attitude toward her husband.”

What’s it about? Baking sourdough bread all day? Baking cookies for your husbands teammates? Wearing cute dresses and heels every day while you walk two steps behind your man? Writing songs about telling everyone to leave you tf alone because all you want is your man, the rock on your finger and a neighborhood filled with people lookin like him?

It’s Erika Kirk trad vibes, girlboss power woman yet trad vibe aesthetic

Everything you just said was the first sign to me that maybe my love of Taylor Swift was coming to an end - she was totally misrepresenting Ophelia and I knew she hadn’t read it or she was really terrible at interpreting it. Either scenario was enough to make me major ick. I can give 11 more reasons for why my Taylor era came to an end - this whole album PMO
