I can’t get over the amount of reaction videos I’m seeing where people don’t know what a fortnight is - do you not use that in the US? I just assumed everyone did lol!

I know what a fortnight is but we don’t commonly use it here. There are frankly a lot of words Taylor uses that I know what they mean but so many people don’t, and they act like she’s some super genius and I’m like “What did they teach you in school?” Ok there’s a few words I had to look up but I know the majority of fancy words she uses in her songs.

Ok I’m home and I’ve listened to Tortured Poets again. I really like it, lol. Sorry I said it was boring Taylor. I think 31 songs at once on a flight was a bit much for my brain to take in I haven’t done a second listen of The Anthology yet, I’m struggling to get more than a few songs into that one before I want to go back to songs on TP. I’m in the office tomorrow so gonna listen to that then. I’ve also realised what Guilty As Sin is about on my 2nd listen and I’m DYING 😂 At first listen I thought the album didn't had any songs that would stand out like Maroon & Anti-Hero on Midnights for example. After almost a week of listening I have a few faves BUT since I'm Dutch I have a hard time understanding what she's all saying! I do know English but this is written in a way I have to see the lyrics a few times with the songs and I don't have time for that lately. When I saw your post about what she's wrote about I'm DYING to know what it's about because 1. I can't seem to figure out the Matty/Joe songs, which songs are about who? And I don't now what Guilty As Sin is about...? I do like the song tho!! IF someone has time and likes to explain this album to me, you're more than welcome!!

And I don't now what Guilty As Sin is about...? I do like the song tho!! IF someone has time and likes to explain this album to me, you're more than welcome!! In Guilty as Sin she’s basically talking about fantasizing sexually about Matty while still being with Joe. But she’s asking how can she be accused of cheating as long as it’s only all in her mind and she isn’t actually doing it? Nothing is confirmed of course, but the majority of fans speculate the following songs are about Matty: Fortnight TTPD Down Bad But Daddy I Love Him Fresh Out the Slammer Guilty as Sin? The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived I Can Fix Him The Black Dog Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus Peter So Long, London is about Joe, and loml may possibly be about both of them or just Matty. My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys might be one or both of them, it’s kind of inconclusive. The Alchemy and So High School are about Travis, some think the end of But Daddy I Love Him may also be about him. The rest of the songs are about other topics like fame, the Kimye drama, or just her own general failed relationships. Robin is supposedly for Aaron Dessner’s son Robin.

In Guilty As Sin it’s basically.. masturbating over Matty Healy.. which is a line I never thought I’d type… 🤢 These fatal fantasies Giving way to labored breath My bedsheets are ablaze I've screamed his name Building up like waves I know she hasn’t said anything bad about Joe really but honestly just that song would make die inside if I was him lol poor guy

Yes Cassandra gives off mad woman vibes, possibly by design. Cassandra is a Greek myth who was a prophetess that had the ability to correctly predict the future but since she always predicted bad events she was cursed to never be believed. And so the song is alluding to how no one believed Taylor when the 2016 phone call happened.

OMG woooow thanks for explaining guys!!! And those things I couldn’t get out of the songs! That’s bad for Joe indeed to hear that.. still a lot of songs about Matty while it didn’t lasted that long.. that’s a bit weird. But she is respectful to Joe except for the masturbating part… but I have respect for her she just let it out there for the world to hear! That takes a lot of courage to do that! And yes I figured the KimYe drama song. It felt a bit cringe like girl it’s been a few years! You already had a lot of songs about them. Robin for a kid indeed but nice to know it’d maybe be about Aaron Dessner his kid. i don’t understand the baby thing in But Daddy I Love Him?? I must say after listening this whole week the album does grow on you and while it in the beginning sounds a bit alike and all the same it’s not after a week but there’s also not a big hype up song, I think So High School is that track on the record. Okay so my faves (without knowing the intentions and such) are! - Fortnight (I never heard of a ‘fortnight’ so I googled it and it made sense ) - My boy only breaks his favorite toys - Down bad (this song was the first I really liked and was stuck in my head) - The Alchemy - Clara Bow (like after 10 times playing the record I really liked it, it’s a clever song!) - The Albatross (instantly liked this song, I really love the melody) - How did it end (like omg so sad I love these sad song where you feel miserable, everything fits, the lyrics and melody) Worst songs: - Florida (I dislike Florence her voice so badly here, ugh, and it’s so repetitive) - The manuscript (it’s too slow, not a real melody or sound or maybe I just don’t get it) - I can fix him (I’d expected more from this one, it’s a bit bland) And what’s does Fresh Out The Slammer means? Also all those names in titles are a bit strange to me like that song Cloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus.Then you have a Cassandra, a Peter and a Robin like what? Even an Aimee but okay that’s technically Kim lol I see the Black Dog gets a lot of praise but it reminds me too much of Betty soundwise and unpopular opinion but I never liked Betty so this one just doesn’t do it for me. Lyric wise I don’t remember it that much but it must be about a bar where she and Joe often came? I Look In Peoples Windows is kinda sad and too short I think. Also quite nice are The prophecy, Peter, loml, so long London. But 31 songs is A LOT to process. I agree that for the next album ditch Jack and Aaron because it all sounds a bit the same since folklore and even tho I love those albums but another one like this is too much. Not that I only want lovey dovey songs but these type of songs just lacks real music I think. Like you can’t get lost in the music, only in the lyrics and I like it both way, lost in the lyrics WITH the the fact that the music brings you also in another dimension!

I wish Avril would make an album with a similar sound. I would love this in her voice.

I saw on the news that the black dog pub she’s referring to in London are absolutely swarmed with Taylor fans at the moment lol! The owner did also suggest Joe is a regular, but who knows
