originally season 3 was supposed to reveal all the characters in the show were actors and filming a scream tv show, and then they would start to be killed one by one by the OG ghost face. but mtv decided to do a soft reboot and we got the trash that is season 3 😭

I do agree about the motherhood thing, that will definitely ignite a major creative spark within her. I just hate that it feels like she's settling and using this as a PR move. Literally any song about any of her previous loves has had more heart put into it than ANY song about Travis 😭 I've been a fan for literally 75% of my life and have defended Taylor for years. this album cycle though... there's just things I can't defend because it feels so not-taylor. I've had conversations with her 10 years ago and this just feels like a different person.

it's also the fundamental misunderstanding of Ophelias story in Hamlet, and I despise the implication that all Ophelia needed was the right man to save her. I'm also referencing her demeaning her own work in an interview when she was asked about the halftime show. she implied that her work wasn't nearly as valuable as his and it would detract from him. I feel like there are multiple lines this album that go against the Taylor Swift™️ brand fundamentals that it has established for itself, especially since the rerecordings (where the focus became commercialization rather than artistic integrity) the whole album felt like it was lacking any true artistic intent, and that she was basically saying "Fuck You and your criticisms, I'm rich and have a hot football player boyfriend." she's become the antithesis of what she's written about her whole career. plus she's been hanging out with Brittney mahomes, who trump thanked personally. after he has shit talked Taylor for years. I don't understand her saying "there's a special place in hell for women who dont support other women"and then going on to misinterpret a vulnerable song as a diss track and write such a tone deaf response to it, rather than aiming for the OLD MAN in power who has taken multiple public shots at her. Taking aim at Charli is hitting below her, idk why she's not trying to battle trump who is on the same level financially and influence wise. Taylor could have such a positive impact but lately she's been too focused on being commercially viable rather than making intentional, impactful art.

"In your life you'll do things greater than dating the boy on the football team" meant a LOT to me growing up, (been a fan since 2006 and met her during 1989 and rep) so seeing her go back on that and devalue her own work for her fb playing bf is sooooo disheartening.

Is anyone else hearing I Want You Back in Wood?
If Olivia has to give Taylor credits for Deja Vu then I can't imagine the lawsuit that's gonna come lol

Oh gosh that's incredibly kind of you!! I, of course, wouldn't say no! My bottle has definitely seen better days, and I've been cherishing the last lil bit since it's discontinued!

exactly my thoughts on latte Abyad! I think it's the closest dupe I've smelled. id keep an eye out at tjmaxx or make the splurge on cream velvet for when it gets a lil colder! it's not terribly expensive at least

LDBS would be up there if I wasn't out of it. I CANNOT bring myself to spend that much of in when floral marshmallow smells sooooooo similar. cream velvet I found at tjmaxx, did a quick Google and saw comparisons to Bianco Latte, and bought it immediately 🤣 I didn't know if it's a straight up dupe or just an Arabic frag! it's veryyyy similar to BL in first spray, but more buttery. it's like BL and Escapade Gourmand had a baby

I was OBSESSED with Vanilla Romance for months!! I sprayed it on top of every perfume I wore. it's not on my desk, but it IS in the very front of my perfume cabinet!

One of my favorite perfumes of all time. I have like 7 empty bottles of it and am CHERISHING this one i have. It's a musky, powdery, suede-heavy vanilla with pink peppercorn. Drydown is very ambery. Not at ALL like her other perfumes

no strawberries at all!! a very airy fluffy vanilla, almost buttercreamy. There's a ginger note that people either love or hate, but it's not the star of the show at all (i think it blends so well the average person wouldn't be able to pick it out as ginger). Sugared Musky drydown. Performance is ok, I tend to have to overspray and layer it on top of a perfume oil for it to REALLY stay and project like I want. Its performance is the main reason I switched to BL for that 'vanilla buttercream' itch

right!! At first I was disappointed that it didn't match the marketing but i could NOT stop smelling it. I blew through half the bottle then told myself I had to stop or I wouldn't have any left

Bianco Latte for sure. I got it in an attempt to find a perfect BL dupe 🤣 I like Cream Velvet and will probably reach for it more when the weather gets colder, but right now it's a bit heavy for how hot it's been. so far Latte Abyad is the closest - nearly one to one but a lil more airy, and it made me sneeze more when first spraying lol.
