on the surface level “fortnight” seems like a song about a tumultuous romantic relationship, but a closer read reveals a more complex narrative

i’m not frustrated with taylor swift because i wish she’d break up with travis kelce, i’m frustrated with taylor swift because she made it seem like she was going to use the immense power she has for good and she hasn’t.
For my family, everything that has transpired recently gives us an opportunity to reflect, listen, and reprogram any part of our lives that hasn’t been loudly and ferociously anti-racist, and to never let privilege lie dormant when it could be used to stand up for what’s right.

so taylor swift does a mashup that basically says she was grappling with unrequited forbidden love and internal conflict about that love, sought freedom in a new place where you can like boys or girls, and found self-acceptance… and people get mad if i say that‘s 🌈?

i wanna know why taylor swift said rebekah harkness dyed a dog green when it was a cat
the obvious answer is because she likes cats but if i could ask her one thing that’s probably what i’d ask because i’m bad at meaningful questions and good at being distracted by small details

what a gross misrepresentation of what led to her breakdown. we’re not about to sit here and act like she wasn’t treated poorly her entire life by just about everyone she knew. she didn’t have a breakdown because of “rumors and speculations,” she was severely mistreated.
do you even know who clara bow is?? she was an it girl just like taylor she also had a breakdown because of rumors and speculations etc this is obviously going to be a song about that because that is what taylor herself goes through 🤦🏻♀️

yes i’m choosing to believe that if ttpd is a post mortem i don’t think it’s of a relationship i think it’s of taylor swift ™️ the celebrity persona and that’s why i’m standing by “but daddy i love him” being a reference to that interview she gave about love story

24
398
through this lens, “fortnight” is a powerful expression of her frustrations with her fanbase’s superficiality as they paternity test each song she releases and frame her story through the heteronormative 1950s lens that tortures her and limits her potential
6
25
396
if we look at lover as a failed coming out album, “i forgot that you existed” is the goodbye letter to a homophobic fan base that wouldn’t support her if she came out as queer (this thread is speculation based on lyrics and news stories move on if you don’t like that)

the chorus directly addresses the fanbase, holding them accountable for their “quiet treason,” which was a failure to truly connect with and see taylor beyond a superficial level

if anyone has ever told you that “dropping hair pins” hasn’t ever been recognized as a queer phrase, please know that they were wrong.

i think the biggest reason there are so many misunderstood or “hard to understand” lyrics according to swifties is because so many of them are determined to make sure every line of every song is autobiographical and if they can’t align it to a specific male muse it makes no sense

if you think taylor swift is "obviously straight" then you're really not engaging with her lyrics. could i be wrong about her being queer? sure. but there's no "obvious" about any of it. she's INTENTIONALLY vague when she discusses her personal life with the media.

taylor swift could go on stage and yell “i love women!!” and swifties would just say she’s a feminist

24
318
this also shows that she lies to her fans to maintain a narrative because how many times has she said during the eras tour that she’s happier than ever?
this album exists to tell us that we do not truly know anything about her and it’s wild to see so many people missing that

remember when i was called delusional for saying that the albatross might serve as a metaphor for the quest for queer identity in a heteronormative world wayyyy back in february and was called all kinds of names for it?
let's revisit that idea now that the song has been released
the albatross in coleridge's poem is more than a bird; it's a powerful metaphor.
its presence and subsequent rejection mirror the quest for identity and acceptance in a predominantly heteronormative world. a poetic exploration of belonging.

the violent imagery in the line “your wife waters flowers/ i wanna kill her” can be interpreted as her frustration with the fans’ betrayal and their investment in superficial aspects of their own lives rather than engaging with her art on a deeper level
