    I feel like a lot of the songs on the anthology portion of the album are reflecting on previous relationships and how they were handles, not just the most recent ones. So this totally makes sense to me!

    The Manuscript: Exists
    Swifties: Existential Crises
    Taylor: What if I told you I’m a Mastermind
    Swifties: AHHHHH

    Thinking about that Jimmy Fallon interview from 2021 where she was wondering if she could tease something 3 years in advance…….
    (to clarify: obviously she wouldn’t have known what TS11 was going to be in 2021, I’m just curious if she wrote an early version of The Manuscript around the time she dropped ATW10)

    When I first heard the manuscript I immediately thought about all too well 10 min version, but I didn’t realized what you said. My mind just blew away when I was watching your reaction and you said it was 13 years later, how is she such a mastermind I just can’t comprehend 🤣😭

    I absolutely agree with everything you just said! The second I heard the song, I knew, it was about All Too Well… And I remember when the short film came out, it said “thirteen years later” and I was doing the math and the math wasn’t mathing and I thought, “oh, she just liked the number 13”… oh nay-nay! She was masterminding this whole time!

    I hear her reading the lyrics to ATW at the end of that film basically going full circle… maybe this song is about the rerecord of ATW10, because she has said before that we changed that song for her completely- from heartache to about singing with the fans and it being about the fans. But I think it speaks more to her entire discography- that all the songs she gave us about her life are ours now.

    I think ATW10 can be interpreted as the breakdown of the swifties relationship with taylor. Winter being 2016 maybe? Window creeper is us. What are your thoughts? It makes me wonder if this is a breakup album where our actions caused how sad she is. 2016 was started with Kim, but swifties made the tag go viral. We have clearly dropped her multiple times. I can see our communities actions portrayed through the Subjects (the ex). Our behavior has been very similiar to how the ex’s was. The ICDIWABH lyric video is soul crushing, and truly made me open my eyes. Al ot of her songs have versus that actually is meant for us. Its just wild how everyone seemed to completely erase 2016 and our role in…and truly think Taylor has forgot also. She knows we are toxic. Shes telling us to stay out of her personal life, stop crashing weddings, hanging out in front of her dwelling, gawking at her theough windows like shes an animal at the zoo. If a man did these behaviors to us, we would be TERRIFIED of them. How are Seifties any different? I love you, Ali. You have always reacted to her videos without judgment or prodding into her life. You have absolutely navigated this path with grace. Im starting to unsub to the toxic swifties. “1..2..3: ✌🏻ing out, bishes” is what im afraid shes hinting to. Even after putting out a double album, people are STILL expecting a third. The crowd keeps screaming more…
    I would really love to hear anyones thoughts.

    • @florencehaber9847
      @florencehaber9847 Před 15 dny +4

      @ButterBunBooks, Taylor in her TTPD album for sure spells it out that Taylor is furious with the Swifties and in no uncertain terms tells Swifties to stay out of her personal life, they are not invited to her wedding which means she knows now she will have to be extremely secretive when she gets married so Swifties don't come in front of the venue as it was so disrespectful to Jack and his bride for Swifties to show up to see Taylor. Swifties got way to involved in Taylor seeing Matty who Taylor did not like Swifties going after Matty telling Taylor to break up with him and that Taylor is ruining her reputation if she continues seeing Matty. Plus Taylor was way over Alwyn before Swifties knew they broke up and they broke up way before the Eras tour yet Swifties refused to believe they broke up, kept going online that they love Joe which was crazy as they did not know Joe at all. He is extremely private and yet Taylor saw Swifties only cared that they liked how Joe looked. And Taylor did not care anymore about Swifties who went berserk to who Taylor did like for years but kept it quiet. Swifties go after anyone to ruin their life if Taylor is upset. That is crazy. I love Taylor's songs but never called myself a Swiftie because I don't think it is normal to go online and try to ruin anyone's life or career. I wouldn't do it if a guy hurt me. I move on and Taylor writes songs and moves on. But Swifties never do. And still Swifties think they "own" Taylor. The young Swifties call Taylor "mother. " One started calling Travis Father online. It is creepy. Taylor was right to finally tell Swifties off. This is why Travis has said that Taylor and him decided long ago to not pay any attention to "noise " about them being together. Some don't watch football and think probably that Taylor should be with a musician but every musician dropped Taylor and did not want her so Swifties don't care as they only want Taylor to be with who they would be with. Meanwhile Travis is a great guy. I am a huge football fan and know the players.

      Another moment from the Fortnight video was Taylor walking up to the 2 way mirror window & as she peers at it & sings about “quiet treason”.
      Is the 2 way mirror her fans / public viewing her personal life from behind their screens?
      Then at the end of the video she is angry, feels betrayed & throws a trolley through the 2 way window which shatters.
      The pure / white original image shattered. Her face “unmasked”. Her personal relationships exposed. Her sadness & depression revealed. Her anger unleashed.

    Ally, thank you so much for all of your reactions and explanations, they really help me appreciate all of the songs and albums. I was very young when I became a swiftie, and I wasn’t aware of all of the connections in songs, I didn’t know any of the references to events, and i definitely wasn’t able to understand what the song were about and what half of the words meant! All I knew was that I loved her music. Once I discovered your channel, you helped me learn more about my favorite artist and her masterpieces. Thank you so much for making these videos so more people can experience her music with a deeper understanding of it. Also, happy High Infidelity Day! 🫶🏻 (P.S. Today I accidentally poked my finger really badly with a SAFETY PIN, so I hope your day is going a LOT better than that lol)

  • @taralovesdiamondart
    @taralovesdiamondart Před 14 dny

    Ally,I respectifully disagree. I think she is revisiting all of her old relationships and trials in the Manuscript.
    As the song starts she says:
    "Now and then she rereads the manuscript
    Of the entire torrid affair" Entire being key here.
    "They compared their licenses Taylor got her doctorate from NYU, so she is a doctor now (and she knows how breathing works.) That must have been a massive achievement for her and her family were probably so proud.
    He said, 'I'm not a donor but
    I'd give you my heart if you needed it'" Taylor Lautner and his wife, Taylor, have a podcast dedicated to healing and mental health.
    "She rolled her eyes and said
    'You're a professional'
    He said, 'No, just a good samaritan'" is a reference to the radio station she counter sued for a dollar after he sued her for getting him fired. From the Oxford Dictionary: a charitable or helpful person (with reference to Luke 10:33): [suddenly, miraculously, a Good Samaritan leaned over and handed the cashier a dollar bill on my behalf]"
    "He said that if the sex was half as good as the conversation was
    Soon they'd be pushin' strollers
    But soon it was over" These lines seem to be about Matty Healy. She put several lyrics in TTPD about Matty talking to her about rings, marrage and babies, but the relationship was over almost as soon as it started.
    "In the age of him, she wished she was thirty
    And made coffee every morning in a Frеnch press
    Afterwards she only atе kids' cereal
    And couldn't sleep unless it was in her mother's bed" These line seem to be about JakeGyllenhaal. In ATW, he tells her "if we had been closer in age, maybe it would've been fine" and later "...sippin' coffee like you're on a late night show." and in the short film, Sadie laying in bed, crying her eyes out.
    "Then she dated boys who were her own age
    With dart boards on the backs of their doors" She did date a few boys her age, Joe Jonas, Lucas Till, Harry Styles. I don't know what age they/she was when they were dating, but it was much closer to her age than John or Jake.
    "She thought about how he said since she was so wise beyond her years
    Everything had been above board
    She wasn't sure" These lines are giving me John Mayer. from Dear John to WCS, she knows there was something wrong about that relationship and it was not ok.
    "And the years passed like scenes of a show" 6 years with Joe Alwyn, an actor
    "The professor said to write what you know" Taylor has always writen songs about her life and experiences. With her doctorate she could teach at a collage level and so she is the professor.
    "Lookin' backwards might be the only way to move forward" These lines may be the re-records and the whole thing with BMR
    "Then the actors were hitting their marks" Making ATW the Short Film plus the other directing projects she's done, or maybe even being in Cats the movie.
    "And the slow dance was alight with the sparks" the ERAS tour, or maybe all the tours she's done in the past
    "And the tears fell in synchronicity with the score" Could still be the ERAS Tour, especifically when you add in "I can do it with a broken heart" But it could also be loosly nodding to Travis with the mention of "Score"
    And at last, she knew what the agony had been for Looking forward with hopefulness with all the bad stuff behind her, and the resolution of the re-records and Travis as postives.
    "The only thing that's left is the manuscript
    One last souvenir from my trip to your shores " Could be specifically be Joe and Matty, being from England, or it could be collectively all of these past relationships if you take the "shores" less literally to mean into their lives/homes.
    "Now and then I reread the manuscript" Of course she'll always remember the pain of her past, and never stop looking back at it.
    But the story isn't mine anymore." This refers to her instagram story, and she given all these years of pain to her fans. And we'll take in it and give it back to her as something beautiful.
    Whether we're right or Taylor meant something else entirely, I love this song and it makes me tear up every time I hear it. Loved your reaction video. Thanks for reading.

    Hi Ally,
    Thanks for sending me your videos.
    The Swifties do not really know
    who and what Taylor is writing about.
    Taylor's lyrics are somewhat of a secret.
    Some people will understand Taylor's
    lyrics. The some people are few. The
    few people will recognize coincidences
    in Taylor's lyrics that aren't really
    coincidental. The sex workers in my cult call
    me the chosen one. Taylor writes something
    about being called the chosen one in her
    lyrics. Why? I do not know why. Why is too
    complicated for an answer. Do not ask why.
    Never ask why. Never ever try to understand.
    Just sit back and enjoy.

    tbh, when i hear “in the age of him, she wished she were 30..” i immediately thought John Mayer, like Jake was 7 years older than her (still bad) and he 28 when she turned 21 (please sorry to me if i’m wrong, she was 13 years older and 32 when she was 19, so that’s why i think she’s talking about john, cause she would probably be shamed if she were older than Jake, cause let’s be honest, it was 2012

    Taylor Swift.. Please take a long break and redefine your music direction, enough tired of your ex-lovers songs, get back to basics..i loved you in Fearless, Speak Now, the masterpiece timeless Red, Reputation..and I felt you were coming back to your roots with Folklore. I loved you then and "I am losing you" now. Not one song in particular in Midnight or Tortured come close to White Horse, Breathe, Always Forever, Best Day, Long Live, Story of Us, Haunted, Don't Blame Me, Gateway Car, Call it what you want, New Year's Day... and forever All Too Well. Take a break Taylor n redefine yourself.

      I think she did in this album. People went on their dive into which songs are about who, but it's becoming more apparent after a few listens that she's processing her emotions about love, loss, family ideals not coming true, her career, the media, and that it could be about anyone or a mix of people in her life. I personally think it's her best and most vulnerable work, I don't expect you to agree. Everyone likes what they like, either way, I hope you enjoy whatever she does next.

      Even Swifties refuse to address that this album by Taylor tells off the Swifties and tells them to stay away from her personal life. She calls them empaths in clothing that are judgemental creeps. Swifties need to stay out of Taylor's life and just enjoy her songs. Taylor drinks, curses and loves who she loves and there is nothing wrong with that. Taylor is a grown woman.
