Hi! i reblog and talk about what I'm interested in :)

IMO High Infidelity by Taylor Swift is about cheating on the person you’re cheating with

or helping cheat with. 

I think the second verse is from the perspective of the person she is cheating with (a certain married supermodel lmfaoo), who’s bemoaning their married life. 

God, I love Taylor. So many layers to this song.

Ever heard al album that’s so beautiful and crisp and sweet that you simply wanna tear your follicles out? Yes, that’s me with Death Cab for Cutie. Transatlanticism is truly one breathtaking album and I’m gonna make a post on it very soon! 

sidenote- The album brought me to tears so many times that I can’t even bear listening to all of it. it has completely and utterly wrecked me. I am lying smithereens on the floor :’’’’’(

I don’t think people realize just how big reputation was for Taylor’s career….like every day in 2016 would be another op-ed about whether or not you could trust her, if she was “really” a feminist, if her songs were all just “playing the victim,” etc. not to mention the torrent of of the online abuse from the #taylorswiftisoverparty…obviously Taylor had a mammoth career preceding her, but people were constantly questioning what on earth Taylor could do in response + if she could find a similar kind of success again, etc. 

for her to come back a year later with a record where she reclaimed the symbols used against her (the snake motif), addressed her reputation/image quite cleverly in music video form, and the album overall was well-received, did commercially fantastic, and launched her biggest tour yet… it proved to the world that Taylor’s art was not dependent on a carefully maintained image or PR favorability, that even if the world supposedly hated her, she had a diehard fanbase and that her words are more powerful than even the worst reputation

does anyone else remember when 19-year-old musician Lil Nas X released a single about riding horses and having fun. Became a wildly popular song. And then he was forcibly outted to the public and now every fucking day he’s fighting for his life against white supremacists and the Christian church. He’s only 22. Can you even imagine the immense pressure? The hurt you’d be experiencing in his shoes? At twenty fucking two? His music is amazing and his replies on Twitter are spot-on, but how are so many of you not enraged at what he’s being forced to endure?

Everyone may *think* they hate country music, but when Jolene, Before He Cheats, Take Me Home Country Roads, or Life is a Highway comes on, everyone is suddenly a liar.

I know this is a funny post but

There are a few major points in Country Music’s history that got the entire genre labeled as ‘annoying’

Post 9/11 nationalism

A term that I couldn’t make up “Bro-Country” which intensifies themes of booze, objectifying women, and partying that were present in past decades but not to such an extent

This is Gospel Music But With an Accent

Now looking at the songs op listed there is

A woman pleading to another woman

A woman wrecking a shitheads life

A guy loving the scenery of where he lived

A song that could easily be mistaken for a number of other genres

But it is easier to say that one hates country while privately enjoying select songs than explain why one doesn’t like the current market oversaturated with our nation’s problems of nationalism, sexism, and so on

see also jhonny cash/willie nelson era songs which were deeply emotional stories often about painful and deep subjects. prison, loss of loved ones, hard labor, facing despair, passion. ‘ghost riders in the sky’ and the like are also deeply satisfying as they bridge more into folklore then ‘murica fuck yeah im sponsored by bud light yall’ another example- ‘midnight in montgomery’ where hank williams junior sings about the ghost of his father

“ … And felt the wind die down, And a drunk man in a cowboy hat, Took me by surprise, Wearin’ shiny boots, a nudie suit, and haunted, haunted eyes, He said: “Friend, it’s good to see you, It’s nice to know you care” Then the wind picked up and he was gone, Was he ever really there? ‘Cause when the wind is right, You’ll hear his song, Smell whisky in the air, Midnight in Montgomery, He’s always singin’ there, “ the reason we ‘hate country’ is because we know its supposed to have FEELING and its infuriatingly absent now

70s country - bluegrass traditional

80s country - power ballads

90s country - pop crossover

00s country - white supremacy

“Sometimes I wonder if there's something wrong with me. Perhaps I've spent too long in the company of my literary romantic heroes, and consequently my ideals and expectations are far too high.” ― E.L. James

if you’re at a point right now where you don’t see any hope in the future, remember that the future will always seem overwhelming when you’re thinking about it all at once. you only have to live through one moment at a time. focus on now and focus on getting through this, because you will.

New Year’s Day // Taylor Swift

[ptactwo]

"gnc straight man being called a faggot doesn't experience homophobia" what the fuck are you talking about. there's absolutely no logic in anything like that. we have kids who literally killed themselves because of homophobic abuse in schools and you would dare to tell them it isn't homophobia that killed them because they weren't actually gay? insane. and so fucking cruel

[deadryn]

I need some of y'all to remember this:

Oppression is not dictated by who you are, but by how the oppressor percieves you. You don't have to be a woman to be a victim of misogyny, you don't have to be gay to be a victim of homophobia.

[maggierogers]

ive been SAYING this but growing up gay is a traumatic experience in and of itself

[maggierogers]

like not that anyone asked BUT to expand on this but despite the obvious interactions with homophobia that every gay person is bound to encounter its just like…your family/even some close friends never ~truly~ know who you are or what you’re interested in because the Gay Experience is about protecting your identity/interests before everything else so by the time you grow up even your parents - no matter how accepting they think they are - have absolutely no inkling about who you really are as a person and thats just a super lonely and exhausting way to exist within a family or a social circle broe!
