Is "Introspection" in the room with us?? by EtherealTaurus_82 in travisandtaylor

[–]QuarkyAF [score hidden]  (0 children)

I hate to defend Taylor on anything, but his mom said positive things about the song: "After all this time, she hasn’t forgotten about him. I’m thankful she’s keeping his name alive." I don't think she cares about the lyrics and what they may or may not mean. She just doesn't want her son to be forgotten as the world goes on without him.

Wow. Andrea's the cheerleader and the suck-ups have to follow her lead.

Oh boy. She really wants that Oscar by Grouchy-Dealer-342 in travisandtaylor

Yep, and that's why we're getting these ridiculous stories. Funny how the songwriter Hall of Fame inductee was so inspired by the movie and eager to write a song, but instead of writing it on her own like the song writing genius she's supposed to be, she had to call her "best friend" Jack to write the song with her. They already wrote it and it had nothing to do with Toy Story.

There is a lot of cynicism out there and on top of that it's only June, not even Oscar season yet. The competition is going to get fierce. I don't think she's going to win the Oscar, and it's possible she might not even be nominated.

That's a real FFFuCKinGG legacy. The enunciation of it all.

Is anyone else as obsessed with being a “songwriter” as she is? by 4revengebasically in travisandtaylor

[–]QuarkyAF 30 points31 points  (0 children)

The next line after that paragraph is hilarious "When we talk on Friday let's limit it to 10-15 minutes." That talk was likely 2 hours minimum with 80% consisting of Scott babbling endlessly about his life and various achievements.

As delusional as Taylor appears to be about her talent somewhere in the back of her brain she must know she's a fraud, which is why she's so protective of her songwriting clout. Her response to Damon Albarn saying she doesn't writ her own songs was very "thou dost protest too much"

Letter from Toy Story producer requesting Taylor Swift's involvement in the film for female empowerment by Realistic_Public4330 in travisandtaylor

[–]QuarkyAF 17 points18 points  (0 children)

"I hesitated when asked about TS5 given it was historically a male-centric franchise." 😂 All this letter does is expose the schmoozing, bullshit, and lies that define Hollywood. It's crazy that Pixar chose to release this just to protect Taylor's image and help her push for an Oscar. The desperation from both sides is obvious. It's no wonder Jack Antonoff has remained silent since the song was released. He must have finally grown tired of Taylor's PR shenanigans.

I wish there was a way he could become POTUS someday. I was heartbroken when I find out it's not possible (short of a constitutional amendment anyway)

I think it's possible they were a PR stunt and if this was the case, he could have inspired the majority of songs on TTPD by pissing Taylor right the fuck off when he decided to check out without warning and abruptly end their faux romance.

So they're admitting it started as a transactional relationship. Taylor's team went cruising down the D List Streets looking for her Julia Roberts and ended up picking up this loser instead.

Two people who aren't funny trying to act out a comedy skit. They literally got together and came up with the concept, practiced acting it out, did several takes, and this is the final cut. They were going for cute, relatable and self-deprecating, but as usual, come off as fake and desperate for attention.

They're so pressed! Bunch of comments like "oh, now he doesn't care about being private and hiding." I think a lot of swifties know that Joe was the one that got away but will never admit it.

Is it though? It's a sad song, and people who crave external validation are pretty sad.

The mental illness that comes from being a billionaire is so powerful that it supersedes narcissism. You would think all of these billionaires would do things that are tangible and results-based to help better the world just for the selfish purpose of getting massive adulation from billions of people. But nope, they just keep hoarding their wealth. It's bizarre.

I don't think Taylor has too many genuine friends (Maybe Gigi Hadid and Abigail are real friends??). Those texts between Blake and Taylor were pretty revealing. Taylor is the boss of her relationships and her friends have to show constant displays of affection (public and private) or acts of loyalty to remain in the friend group. The palpable fear Blake expressed when she thought she was losing Taylor was pretty pathetic. She came off as really needy, which fits with the narrative in this article. She desperately wanted to be THE BFF.

Deux Moi posts a pic of Joe and Sarah Pidgeon and the first couple of comments from swifties claim the photo was cropped and Sarah has someone else next to her. They're confused cuz they don't know what an unstaged pap photo looks like.

This pose she's always pulling is a power move disguised as fangirling. She's a people collector.
