Some extracts:
“Taylor Swift dropped some very 2005 album art. You have to forgive her, really – Taylor is, or was, a good, pure, country girl. Of course she’s only just going through her alt phase at the ripe old age of 27. And she’s going through it hard: the cover is made up of a very mall goth photo of Taylor surrounded by newspaper clippings of her name.”
“The language used in headlines to describe the song and Taylor’s reclamation of snake imagery (months late) makes it sound a lot more than what it is: savage, clapback, takes aim. She doesn’t actually take aim at anyone.”
“An aside: when I was eleven I wrote “songs” that were actually a lot more like poems that were actually a lot more like ripoffs of Avril Lavigne songs. They were about the haters and bullies, the girls I wasn’t like, all the boys I wanted to kiss. They were also really bad. But I was eleven.”
“On “Look What You Made Me Do”, Taylor claims that the old Taylor can’t come to the phone (honestly, truly, what year is this) because she’s dead. She’s not. She’s alive and well and the exact same petty little girl with a victim complex who sang “You Belong With Me”.”
