the evening light feels different here.

i'll say, as a new-ish fan and having only experienced two official releases of albums before tloas (those being midnights and ttpd), i didn't feel much difference in the actual album rollout and subsequent interviews/releases etc. BUT what felt vastly different was the fan reaction (and my own personal attachment to the album). and i feel that is because, A) while there are several songs i will forever reach for on this album........ B) there's just not the cohesive, unified "story" that her past albums have. the way she structured midnights and ttpd, for example, consistently have me reaching for the whole album (bonus very much included). not the picking out of the few songs i like that happens with tloas. all the songs tie into eachother.. they have a consistent VOICE. that is what is lacking to me

I don’t blame new fans at all for not feeling like this era is that different because the “traditional” way of album roll outs Taylor Style ended with the lover era (I miss lead singles!!!!)

I do agree that the life of a showgirl seems less cohesive though I also feel that way about midnights 🫣

Usually with Taylor’s albums they get better and better the more I listen to them because I always notice these little moments and lyrics that just blow my mind and make me want to take a bite out of that song, even on the albums that I like less like midnights or lover. TLOAS failed to make me feel this way which is so unfortunate because the concept is SO good

completely normal ask to receive in response to this post (that i didn’t even make)

[cruellesummer]

you can’t possibly have very strong opinions about something you didn’t actually watch (and many longtime fans said it felt like catching up with an old friend, so sorry you missed out!)

Actually yeah I can because unless Taylor was sending non verbal secret messages, I did read what was said during the episode.

I didn’t even specially mention the podcast episode and said that it was bad or anything, all I said is that we haven’t gotten a lot of content (specifically in depth content about the album in interview form) this era. Idk why you’re so hung up on that podcast episode.

this is one of the more creative hate comments i've seen and i felt the need to immortalize it

idk i always kind of roll my eyes at all those posts that are like “people used to be ugly in movies” like….. well☝️i don’t think that’s true. i think male actors have always had more leeway to look a bit imperfect. we’ve had average/weird looking male actors in every generation, including this one. but people have always needed to be “hot” for movies. and they did crazy shit for it!! marlene dietrich getting teeth extracted to hollow out her cheeks, carole lombard undergoing her (non-cosmetic) facial reconstruction without anesthesia because they thought it would look better, etc ad infinitum. do you know the kinds of diets they had women on to keep them skinny…. not to mention beauty standards for women of color tryna be in movies. like there’s a reason the three biggest black actresses of classic hollywood decades were josephine baker, lena horne, and dorothy dandridge: all pretty lightskinned with smaller mouths and noses -> approximating whiteness (no shade i love these women sm). i think the difference Today is that there are simply way more procedures you can get done since cosmetic medicine has evolved so much. so people can change more of their face with better and more reliable results than they could in the 1930s. point being that people have definitely always needed to be conventionally attractive to be in movies but given the physical scope of what could be conceivably changed about your appearance there was simply more diversity in like facial structure and features

so happy its warmer out now

[cruellesummer]

this is probably a bit of an... idk? inane? ridiculous? question considering that it's a sports/sports personality podcast and so obvs would contain that, but how much of the two hours of that podcast is about that and how much is about taylor/showgirl specifically? I've never actually watched it and I'm not sure if it's possible to skip through to bits specifically about the music (no hate towards Travis and ?his brother? (I want to say Jason?), wish them all the best, I just cannot stand American football and don't really want to listen to them talk about it)

I’m the wrong person to ask because I only read a transcript of the episode and had friends summarise it for me but the majority of it was about Taylor and the eras tour and how being on tour lead to the making of the album and also about her buying her masters back and all that.

I know there were detailed summaries on Reddit and I do recommend looking for them!!
