it’s amazing how many friendships have been created because of taylor...from having a fan account and talking online, or running into someone on the street wearing merch, or even just talking to someone new and discovering that shared interest....wow

there’s such a range of emotions on this album, there’s really something for everyone in every situation and i still don’t get how she does that but i’m loving it

[taylorselenaswift]

i know that i’m a handful baby

fun fact: if you start listening to Lover at 6:15:37 am, you will hear “damn, it’s 7am” when the clock strikes 7

the archer + track 5 parallels

cold as you - so i start a fight cause i need to feel something // screaming ‘who could ever leave me, darling, but who could stay’ - she’s so lost in her herself that she has to lash out to even start to process her internal struggle of liking herself

white horse - that was a small town, there in my rear view mirror disappearing now // I jump off the train, I ride off alone - she’s trying to escape what has held her down in the past and tries to find strength within herself

dear john - the girl in the dress cried the whole way home, I should've known // and I cut off my nose just to spite my face, then I hate my reflection for years and years - she sacrificed a part of herself to be satisfied in the moment, but it caused more pain in the long run and the only way she could heal was to go back and accept herself the way she is

all too well - and i know it’s long gone, and that magic’s not here no more, i might be okay but i’m not fine at all // and all of my heroes die off alone, help me hold on to you - she’s reminiscing on what she used to cherish (relationship/people to look up to) but she realizes that these things come to an end, and she wants to hold onto this happiness that she has

all you had to do was stay - why’d you have to go and lock me out when i let you in // cause all of my enemies started out friends - the people that she trusted the most turned her back when she needed them the most

delicate - my reputation’s never been worse so, you must like me for me // but who could stay? you could stay - even when everyone has gone against her, even when she doesn’t quite trust/love herself, she found someone who likes her for who she is, and reminds her of that

this is what it feels like listening to The Archer (2019)

[taylorselenaswift]

it continues to amaze me how, after all this time, taylor is still willing to be vulnerable with us. she could 100% choose to hide that side of her, but she doesn’t. and that’s really what sets her apart from other artists.
