Are you seriously going to tell me that Bad Blood is not about a breakup? What about Wildest Dreams, My Tears Ricochet, Look What You Made Me Do, Ready for It (“Knew he was a killer first time that I saw him, wondered how many girls he had loved and left haunted, but if he's a ghost then I can be a phantom, holdin' him for ransom), etc?

That’s what I was saying - a lot of the songs amongst the others were about breakups, but it seemed like she wanted to avoid the albums following Red from being marketed that way because she had been criticised for it (as she alluded to in the billboard speech I quoted). That’s why I thought the positioning of poets was so interesting, because she was leaning into it again. Although now it’s out of course we know it was a different album entirely! About breakups but also about so much more!

I thought I was the only one in the whole wide world who doesn’t admire TS. (PS this is not a Death Threat request.

Gotta wonder how long it will be before Travis and Taylor break up and she turns her glare on him

I thought all of her albums were breakup albums. No?
