i came out to have a good time and i'm honestly feeling so attacked right now

[dhampyresa]

Watch on YouTube

Taylor Swift didn't need to come for my throat like that! "Midnights become my afternoons", "my depression works the graveyard shift", "I’m the problem, it’s me", "I’m a monster on the hill / Too big to hang out", "my covert narcissism I disguise as altruism", "I’ll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror" (et tu, body dysmorphia?)...

I know there's a music video and I usually link those but unfortunately there is Discourse about said music video and what I have seen of said Discourse is both very stupid and triggering (to me) so I would rather forget the Discourse exists, please and thank you.

This album is really growing on me -- at first I thought it was good but kind of samey, but it rewards re-listening (a lot of her songs do). I just can't get over

Sometimes I feel like everybody is a sexy baby
And I'm a monster on the hill
Too big to hang out
Slowly lurching toward your favorite city
Pierced through the heart but never killed

and her delivery on the repeated "Tale as old as time"! Augh.


(I loved the video and I am really sad there is very stupid Discourse about it. Blah.)

[dhampyresa]

Those lines are SO GOOD.

I FLEW ALL THE WAY HERE FROM IBIZA

I need to listen to that album a few more times before I can really vibe with it, but I've liked what I've heard so far.

[dhampyresa]

Swift's work tends to be quite hit-or-miss for me, but when she hits, she hits.

I love this one. Also really love Mastermind and Could've Would've Should've

[dhampyresa]

I should listen to thopse

I have had this song stuck in my head for DAYS. “When my depression works the graveyard shift” - STAB ME IN THE HEART WHY DON’T YOU.

I love love love the way this song is drenched in vocal harmonies. It’s an angelic choir and an obsessive compulsive disorder all at once.

[dhampyresa]

That line is such A STAB

an angelic choir and an obsessive compulsive disorder all at once.
YES perfect description

It feels weird to call Taylor Swift underrated because she's, you know, Taylor Swift, but she is just so good at what she does.

[dhampyresa]

I think she is underrated. She's very popular, but she's not given enough credit for her craft -- she's treated like the pop music equivalent of "popcorn movies", if that makes sense.

[schneefink]

Cleaning up old tabs: somehow I had missed this song until now but yes, it is very good.

[dhampyresa]

Glad to have brought something good into your life <3
