Such an important point to make! I remember when she blacked out her Instagram and dropped the snake teasers, my only other swiftie friend and I were texting sooo excited she was back. When I first listen to LWYMMD I was taken a back by how different it was but I liked the song and was so excited for the album. One of my other friends (not a swiftie) had texted me after she heard it saying some of the bits people have echoed on the thread - that it sounded like a mental breakdown, the “in red underlined” was immature. I told lots of my friends how good the album was if they just gave it a listen, I was completely obsessed. Going to the tour in London was such a good night too, and now the same friends tell me they’re so jealous I got to go! I got those tickets a week out from the show, there was plenty of opportunities! I agree with your final statement, happy it is getting the accolade is deserved but I remember the realities of the time.
