Welcome back divas!! Today we are diving deep into the heart of Taylor Swift's discography as we explore her complex relationship with fame and the anxiety it brings. From her early days as a country music darling to her reinvention as a pop powerhouse, Swift's musical journey is marked by her candid exploration of fame, its challenges, and its impact on her personal and artistic life.
In this video, we explore how Taylor's experiences with fame and its accompanying pressures have shaped her music, from the confessional storytelling of her early albums to the introspective narratives in her later works. We also touch on the Taylor's Version of it all, discussing how Taylor not only revisits her past but also redefines her relationship with her fans and the music industry, offering a fresh perspective on her legacy and the intricacies of artist-fan dynamics in the social age. Enjoy!!

I think mirrorball is an insane song because it truly is quintessentially taylor: talking about her experiences in a romanticized way, yet somehow being able to stay relatable enough for the fans... "i'm still a believer, but i don't know why, i've never been a natural, all i do is try try try" in hindsight is about her fame and having to rebrand herself for every album to stay fresh, but people pleasers (or people who have experimented some kind of abandonment by friends/family) can relate to that line because of the pain of not feeling good enough for the people they care about.
@ElectroSocketBlues
@ElectroSocketBlues 6 месяцев назад
So true haha. And I think that's because Taylor *is* a people-pleaser--and Mirrorball, like The Archer, is about her relationship to fame/the audience, but also about her relationship to love/her romantic partner.
@sateliteschinos
@sateliteschinos 6 месяцев назад
Mirrorball is so incredibly amazing to me for that reason. With it she’s perpetuating the very same things she talks about in the song, in trying to be vulnerable she finds herself performing even further. It’s paradoxical and beautiful and 100% intentional.

This might sound a bit unhinged but she's giving me the kind of person that has horrible insomnia having a breakdown obsessively asking herself why can't she be content with what she has like i just know she's malding over the fact that she can't be careless and effortless. Like there's a weird void that won't go away no matter what you do. As you pointed out, which is a really interesting idea to me, she's a STUDENT. Things don't come naturally to her and I relate so much to that. (This might be just me projecting my own shit but she def strikes me as being the same kind of person)

I've been obsessing over Dear Reader since that very first listen. The depth that it has is highly overlooked. Also the distortion just adds to the chaotic thought spiral it feels like. The breakdown and disillusionment of what we thought her life was is all in there. I think it will hit heavier with people only after Tortured Poets comes out

Taylor being so perpetually anxious in her relationships has always stood out to me and something that’s really spoken to my heart over the years but seeing that anxiety through this lens of the loss of sense of self through fame is definitely something I’ll be listening closer for now. The tightrope she walks between specificity and vagueness is truly the most masterful part of her brand. I just love love love your takes

I always interpreted the "they're burning all the witches even if you aren't one" as her being ambigious to whether she is a witch or not. She lets the listener decide if she's guilty or if she's innocent. And she ends it with "so light me up" which adds to the ambiguity even more.

I thought maybe albatross is about fame being so heavy that it weighs down the relationship/ruined it. She just couldn’t get over her fame. Bolter I thought bc she basically proposed to him on Lover with the paper rings and all… and then she was like, “ok… it’s Joe-ver, I gotta bolt…”

Taylor Swift is, I think, very good at hiding in plain sight. She's a master at keeping her real feelings under lock and key while still giving these tantalizing little glimpses into her psyche that feel like open windows, but really the curtains are always drawn. It's fascinating to watch but I think I'm always aware that, on some level, she is deeply unknowable and that is on purpose.

Wow, this was fantastic, thank you so much! It added so much depth and shading to some of what I’ve been thinking about the progression of Taylor’s Version of her life story. Mirrorball and Dear Reader to me are two hugely profound and revealing songs but I didn’t really link them together until you did. Also I do agree that Anti-Hero is too precious and tidy in describing a serious, messy state of being. It’s not exactly trite but to me it’s hugely unsatisfying. I have a feeling the theme will come up again and hope she finds a deeper and more compelling way to talk about it. Love your analyses.

i personally understood the lyric "you should find another guiding light, but i shine so bright" as Taylor telling that to herself. And the guiding light in this case is the turkey/romantic partner. And the fact that she shines so bright is her ruminating over the fact that her fame makes it difficult for her to have a normal relationship. Or, more specifically, that her fame was a major reason her relationship with Joe ended. has anyone else read it this way? I now see how this could also be her telling the fans that, and I like the layers in this song.

Dear Reader is one of my favourite songs from Midnights, and it was the bookend of the 3am edition, so I loved this discussion. One song that I could debate about adding would be Castles Crumbling. I could argue that it's about her fear of her fame turning against her, of all that love turning to hatred. But I'm not the best at analyzing lyrics.

Damn. Your last few videos in particular have been SO good and SO thought-provoking that I gave a thumbs up and left no comment, b/c anything I was going to say felt like it'd fall flat. This one is the same. Thanks for this.

God's work is you talking about Dear Reader...I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that inspite of the low-key and laid back nature of its sonic pallet, it is, potentially, the most revealing Taylor Swift track this far

This is the exact type of video that makes the Swiftologist's content UNIQUE. loved loved loved this video. I wish you had added You're On Your Own Kid, 'i looked around in a blood-soaked gown and I saw something they can't take away' is such a beautiful lyrics to discuss when it comes to her relationship with fame.

Taylor always refrences a wine stain in relation to harry styles: Clean: You're still all over me like a wine-stained dress I can't wear anymore Cardigan: marked me like a blood stain Maroon: The burgundy on my t-shirt When you splashed your wine into me Harry in response in the song Olivia (Taylor's cat): This isn’t the stain of red wine, I’m bleeding love
