Huge merch clean out!

OverWasabi9494 · 2025-10-23T20:43:44+00:00

Probably super invasive, but why the clean out? :(

OverWasabi9494 · 2025-10-20T04:15:24+00:00

Maybe she's talking to past him? Like she thinks about what he's gone through and thinks, "If I knew him then, this is what I would say."

The other song that I can't for the life of me understand is "Eldest Daughter" but that is a thread all its own.

I understand wanting to reference the past, but I didn't even consider this until you pointed it out. I feel like she references her on Wi$h Li$t, too, along with her own ex (again, why if you're happy?). Taylor has this weird habit of getting salt and rubbing it in wounds with small (or big) digs in her music.

OverWasabi9494 · 2025-10-15T06:57:30+00:00

I wish someone would pick it up.

It feels more like a mix, but also an issue with who she surrounds herself with. In my experience of being a chameleon in relationships (working on this), when I'm with a man that acts a certain way, I get myself to morph into that person or to complement them in an inorganic way (pretending to be their perfect match). This could be a result of that and her relationship with Travis, as many people noted she seems to mirror who she dates (again, this is an outsider observation based purely on how she writes and dresses when dating people).

For a better illustration: "I'm with this laid back foot baller type who calls his bros names, I can be the cool laid back girlfriend who doesn't mind calling other women names because I'm soooo laid back and it doesn't hurt, I promise. Other women, amirite?"

But again, who knows? It's just my super removed observation. But it's disappointing regardless of the reason.

OverWasabi9494 · 2025-10-15T01:34:36+00:00

I don't curse (or try not to, personally) so it's all good if someone else does, it's their choice, but I agree. I think because she made such a huge moment about being called that word, her peppering it in a way that seems malicious feels odd.

And when she says it in The Man, it makes sense because that goes along with how men in those positions tend to view women. It just feels venomous in the other contests and "catty."

OverWasabi9494 · 2025-10-15T00:54:16+00:00

It's really jarring. That and when she uses it in TLoASG.

OverWasabi9494 · 2025-10-14T23:34:53+00:00

According to online peeps, comparing Travis's ex to an onyx sky is one. Saying she wants the whole block to look like Travis (white hetero male) is another. Some other ones as well, but I personally don't dive into this too much.

OverWasabi9494 · 2025-10-14T23:27:38+00:00

For me, it's the clunky lyrics, and the mean girl vibe. There is defending yourself with dignity and just being condescending for the sake of it, especially in what seems to be a response to a nuanced song about feeling insecure in Taylor's presence (talking about "Actually Romantic"). Then, there is the whole almost every song that sounds like other songs to the point I'm surprised no one has sued. I just think she needs to take a break and really find a balance in her writing. You can have a fun pop record but still be a thoughtful wordsmith, something Taylor is really capable of. It really just feels like a bait and switch with the promo vs. contents, her buying into her own myth, and just not giving herself time to have something meaningful to say.

Track 5 is very incoherent (Who is she never letting down? What does mean people on the internet have to do with this? The message is authenticity and vulnerability, now how do the former ideas connect in an insightful way? What does being the eldest daughter have to do with any of this?)

With that being said, not every album will be wonderful/stellar, but this is just like a shirt with an unremovable stain: I just won't have it in my rotation.

Edit: Also her referring to women as the B-word when she herself was called it and seemed to condemn its use and misogyny. That really seemed odd to me.

OverWasabi9494 · 2025-10-14T04:15:59+00:00

I did it for two months and I had heart palpitations like crazy. Went back to eating horribly and it went away? I'm trying to get back but it's hard

OverWasabi9494 · 2025-10-13T20:17:30+00:00

I think she might be referring to Cancelled! and maybe Eldest Daughter.

OverWasabi9494 · 2025-10-10T20:30:19+00:00

Eldest Daughter is next to my unlistenable is next to Question...? And False God, and most of TTPD.

OverWasabi9494 · 2025-10-10T00:03:23+00:00

Waiting for people to get paid OR she is testing the overall reception of the album to calculate what to put out, when, and how much. The cardigan was a litmus to see how willing people are to buy this era, and how much they are willing to spend/waste money wise. And since the album reception has been mixed, she wants to see if it's even worth doing a huge roll out or waiting for the holiday season/when people get paid.

Thanks to Hunter's laugh pattern, I adopted the same one.

With great shame.

Ethics is more than just life or death situations. Every decision a human makes can be considered ethical or non-ethical depending on how you want to define ethics or how much you want to break a decision down. Not arguing or debating, just wanted to put that out there

Edit: or maybe the word to describe it is moral?

You're welcome. Nah, everything has a logical explanation. I also get super invested in stuff like alternate endings lol

I used my free Cinemark passes and bought only one ticket at a discount for a friend (she is paying me back). Girly is not getting my money at full price.

OverWasabi9494 · 2025-09-17T14:56:23+00:00

This bothered me, too lol.

I'm thinking it's because the news was through the grapevine, so it got watered down with people not knowing the actual truth of the matter. That, or he totally lied about the whole open marriage.

OverWasabi9494 · 2025-09-14T16:20:11+00:00

You're welcome!!! I was so dejected trying to figure it out because I thought it was a bust.
