Fifteen is one of the most aro-ace songs in the canon, to me at least. I've been sleeping on it.

There's just a distance between herself and Abigail's experience or being in love. She feels like an onlooker who relates to some things, but also is an alien to the life the others are leaving.

The idea "when someone tells you they love you, you're gonna believe them" is so relatable as an aromantic. Love, at 15, is assumed to be real but this indicates that the person believes but doesn't feel (but perhaps wants to because they're "supposed to".) There's just a distance between the narrator and the experience of romance that I can't quite express.

"in your life, you'll do things greater than dating the boy on the football team" is to me one of her most poignant lines, and it spoke volumes to me when I was a 15 year-old listening to this track in the back of my mom's van and crying. It's applicable to anyone, but when viewed through an aroace lens, it takes on new meaning: you don't have to be trapped in high school romantic politics forever and finding romantic love is not the foremost thing in life.

Unfortunately, sometimes we can't escape it however. And no matter what we accomplish in, say, the year 2023, the world still makes dating the manchild on the football team the greatest thing a woman can do with her life.

Overall, this feels like I am watching other people experience love and sex but not able to feel it myself.

Maybe she knew it all at 15.

I read somewhere she should have her artists friends (Halsey, Ed, Selena) perform her old songs so they would be covers and then she should step in and sing The Man OMG that would be artist and woman of the century😍😍😍😍

I didn't know it was possible to hate people I've never met, but here we are.

Even when I hate someone, I have a hard time wishing misfortune and misery upon a person, but here we fucking are.

Imagine having an ego so fucking fragile that THIS is how you react ? How can you win when you're dealing with CHILDREN.

This is absolute bullshit and I am SO happy she blew the lid off this one because this is important !! I hope that if any new talent coming up in the music business happens to see $cott or $cooter, they run the fuck the other way. I hope that this severely devalues every project, every business venture, every little thing they own. Light their stupid record label up and watch it burn (after safely redistributing the current artists, of course).

She's sending us to war, guys. Swifites are NOT a force to be reckoned with, and Taylor fucking Swift didn't become one of the most powerful artists in the industry out of coincidence. While the reasons she is this powerful are numerous, the number one reason is her fans. And I don't think those children know what that actually means. I am both excited and terrified to see what we're going to do.

Finally: EVERYONE STREAM BEAUTIFUL GHOSTS TONIGHT. LETS WIN CHARTS, OSCARS, AND VENGEANCE. LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO.

Hope she adds this setback onto the Netflix special.

Keep filming Taylor.

An alternative for Taylor's performance in the AMAs

Okay so, since Taylor apparently cannot do the medley she wanted to do for her AMAs performance this year, I got this idea in my mind.

Imagine Taylor, sitting in a chair in the middle of the stage, with tape on her mouth, as a symbol of Scooter and Scott not allowing her to perform her OWN songs. Then some of the most emblematic songs of her career start to play, one after the other, and which each one of them, one artist comes up to the stage singing the song, using their voices when Taylor can't (Selena, Halsey, etc) and supporting them. After, Taylor gets up and takes off the tape of her mouth and sings The Man, like the motherfucking boss she is, with all of her colleagues still on stage behind her, and finally they join her to sing Long Live all together, which is one of her most iconic songs, and it's also a nod to the fans. It would be pretty symbolic too, with those lyrics about fighting dragons (or rats ahem ahem) and being the end of a decade but the start of an age (since she is winning artist of the decade the same year she started fresh again with Lover, which she owns).

Also, I got chills just thinking about that last "We will be remembered" resonating with echo as they all stand together on stage, defying, fearless followed by an standing ovation from everyone.

So, that's my idea ♥️
