FROM ‘Why she disappeared’ (WHY TAYLOR DISAPPEARED From Big Machine Records)
When she fell, she fell apart (when she found out Scott wouldn’t give Taylor her masters unless she made one album for each one)
Cracked her bones on the pavement she once decorated as a child with side walk chalk (her innocence and happiness of agreeing to the recording deal with Scott when she was a “child”)
When she crashed, her clothes disintegrated and blew away with the winds that took all of her fair weathered friends (She knew that once the news came out that once again her reputation would be smeared by the media. “Clothes disintegrated” i.e. naked symbolizing “uncovered, stripped bare, vulnerable” by the news that Scott did this to her, Scott also being the “fair weathered friend”.
When she looked around, her skin was spattered with ink forming the words of a thousand voices
Echoes she heard even in her sleep:
"Whatever you say, it is not right." (Scott released a statement on Instagram saying what the “truth was” even though Taylor had already stated on her tumblr post what really happened. Also other examples such as Taylor wanted to name Speak Now Enchanted but was told not to by Scott.)
"Whatever you do, it is not enough." (Taylor made Scott famous and is the biggest artist under Big Machine Records but he never gave her the opportunity of buying her masters back, he was manipulative in making her make one album to get one album back. Over TEN YEARS) Demi Lovato seems to think Taylor can’t do enough either even though she was the first one to send flowers to her when she was in rehab, spoke up about the election, went to trial for sexual assault and gave money to sexual assault non profits, the list goes on. Not going to get started on Beiber or Kimye
"Your kindness is fake." (His kindness to Taylor was fake over all these years, all the smiles in the photos. Fake. And her smiles throughout the years with him, were they fake? And well, obvs the media again)
"Your pain is manipulative." (The media, AGAIN)
When she lay there on the ground, She dreamed of time machines and revenge (Taylor dreamed of going back in time and changing her contract with BMR, dreamed of revenge from Scooters clients who have bullied her over the years but would never do it because it’s Taylor. I think the fact “machine” is in here really signifies it. Also from Taylor: “Any time Scott Borchetta has heard the words ‘Scooter Braun’ escape my lips, it was when I was either crying or trying not to," Swift writes. "He knew what he was doing; they both did. Controlling a woman who didn’t want to be associated with them. In perpetuity. That means forever.”)
and a love that was really something, Not just the idea of something (“I’m ecstatic to announce that my musical home will be Republic Records and Universal Music Group.... be my FAMILY moving forward. It’s also also incredibly exciting to know that I’ll own all of my master recordings that I make from now on. Not just the fake “family”’ with Big Machine)
When she finally rose, she rose slowly, Avoiding old haunts and sidestepping shiny pennies, Wary of phone calls and promises, Charmers, dandies and get-love-quick-schemes (When making her decision to leave BMR, it wasn’t made hastily, it was made over a long time. "I walked away because I knew once I signed that contract, Scott Borchetta would sell the label, thereby selling me and my future. I had to make the excruciating choice to leave behind my past.” Wary of phone calls - well we all know why.)
When she stood, she stood with a desolate knowingness, Waded out into the dark, wild ocean up to her neck, Bathed in her brokenness, Said a prayer of gratitude for each chink in the armor, she never knew she needed, Standing broad-shouldered next to her, was a love that was really something,not just the idea of something. (After the decision to move to Republic Records and Universal Music Group, she knew she would be vunerable to whatever Scott Borchetta would do but was blessed with her family and her unforeseeable factor - her fans who would defend her against everything. Waded out into to the wild dark ocean is like walking through rainstorms as Taylor says, it gets you clean. Clean from what I imagine was the awfulness of having to try bargain over your own work from someone you thought you trusted since you were 14. From Taylor “music I wrote on my bedroom floor and videos I dreamed up and paid for from the money I earned playing in bars, then clubs, then arenas, then stadiums.”
When she turned to go home, She heard the echoes of new words, "May your heart remain breakable but never by the same hand twice" (when deciding on a new label, Taylor knew her new home would be one that believed in artists and would let her own the art she created. She would never make the same mistake again)
And even louder: "without your past, you could never have arrived-so wondrously and brutally, by design or some violent, exquisite happenstance ...here." (Taylor is incredibly proud of her old work and this whole ordeal has shaped her into the strong woman she is)
And in the death of her reputation. (After reputation, Taylor knew she would be changing labels and thus losing her masters, so in the “death of old Taylor, New Taylor would own everything going forward)
Taylor you’re my superhero and I love you ❤️
