    I guess this is kind of a stretch, but I was thinking about how Taylor and Joe were writing all these sad songs together like exile, champagne problems etc. (Taylor also once mentioned how they both love a sad song) and so maybe were the tortured poets department themselves? Like two sad poets together who only brought each other down?
    It might not be that at all but I thought it was an interesting reference nonetheless ...

    My take on the cruel summer lyric is: shiny toy is a metaphor for something new and not serious. Her boy was new and she wanted to play (date). But the "casual" fun summer comes with a painful price, either hurt feelings or getting attached but shes willing to pay the price to have him. :)

      No one gets into TS astrology, but she is a fire sign, and they are known to be passionate fun with a hard time committing/staying committed, not just in love, but many aspects of life. The Sags I've known struggle with society's concepts of the rules of relationships, because they just don't ultimately work for them.

    the first thing i did when this tracklist came out was google clara bow. i came across this quote from clara herself, and i feel like it speaks very much to taylor, especially performing on the eras tour while heartbroken : "all the time the flapper is laughing and dancing, there's a feeling of tragedy underneath, she's unhappy and disillusioned, and that's what people sense."
    it's giving the mirrorball taylor had to be to keep performing and shining for us while going through so much emotionally. she could do it with a broken heart, but we the fans, knew she wasn't happy. like the early performances of lover, i don't wanna live forever and most of all call it what you want (angry version). we saw it then, but a few minutes later she'd be holding up her fearless heart hands or dancing on stage to bejeweled. i haven't seen anyone talk about this quote yet, but it's all i've been able to think about honestly.

    This is what I first thought of with Florida; Florida is known for being the stereotypical place where the average person goes to retire. Since Taylor loves romanticizing mundane normal lives, I thought she would be talking about the possibility of retirement here. Like “Florida” is more of a state of mind, than the literal state of Florida.

    What you said about loml, and the fact that it's followed by I Can Do It With A Broken Heart makes me think that maybe it could also kind of relate to her relationship with us fans, and how important her fans are to her. It might be a bit of a reach, but it definitely wouldn't be surprise me at all (not to mention her opening the Eras Tour with "it's you and me, that's my whole world")

    As a Clara Bow stan (framed picture of her in my bedroom wall level), I highly recommend starting with It (1927) to get to know her onscreen persona. It's sweet, light, and super charming. If you eventually become more interested, Wings (1927) and The Wild Party (1929) are other great movies. Wings (1927) is less about her, but it was the fist film to win the Best Picture Oscar and it's an amazing silent overall. The Wild Party (1929) is slightly more of a deep cut, but it was her first talkie, it's directed by a pioneer female director, and she plays a quintessentially Clara Bow part; it's one of my personal favorites for sure. If you want to keep going, Mantrap (1926) is enchanting, I also love her in it.

    I really really think she's teasing themes of this album with the surprise songs thus far - I did some analysis of the Tokyo N1 through 4 songs and they progress from being left behind/alone and longing to not be alone to learning that she deserved better and leaving. I think TTPD will have a similarly theme of learning to be happy despite the absence of a partner (or even love from the media!) and I think she'll continue the storyline in Australia! this is all so intense she's a mastermind

    We shouldn't forget that she was happy for years and that was partly because of him. So let's just just remember that no matter what we'll never know the truth.

      Exactly. To me, the music is so much bigger than the inspiration and it often bugs me when people try to draw 1:1 parallels, as if the poetry doesn't take those feelings and moments and twists them around to get to the art. It's such a simplistic way to look at what inspiration is and it almost takes away from the craft of writing to me. Songs can be about real feelings without being a direct translation of something that happened.

    For Who's Afraid of Little Old Me? I put down Cowboy Like Me as a reference, for the part where she talks about "Telling all the rich folks anything they wanna hear, like it could be love, I could be the way forward only if they pay for it." I could be sooooo way off though, this one was a hard one to theorize about because it could go either way. She could show herself as a mastermind in an industry where she's had to outsmart "the man", or she could be writing from the perspective of a humbled, tortured artist, who's just too soft for all of it.

    When I saw “Who is afraid of little Old me,” I immediately thought about Taylor saying it to Joe in the aftermath of their breakup, him being scared that she will write an album and expose what really went down. And it being sarcastic since he seemed to think he was above the other guys she dated and wrote about and how it seems that he belittled her at times, which would make the title fit.

    YAY! Been waiting for this video already. Thanks for your work, Ally!
    Here are some crazy unhinged theories of mine:
    My prediction for Track 16: 0:13
    Track 16 is titled „Clara Bow“ who was a silent film actress and first ever „IT-Girl“. She faced public intrusion into her personal & romantic life, which lead to a breakdown. She retired after marriage. This gives me major TLGAD vibes! Taylor draws subtle comparisons between herself and Rebekah Harkness in TLADG and talks about Rebekahs life. I feel like she‘s gonna do something similiar or maybe even the same with Clara Bow. Also similar to Taylor, Rebekah Harkness and Clara Bow were often a target of harsh criticism from the tabloids, and people alike. I genuienly believe Clara Bow is yet another Muse of Taylors. The song might be a sequel to „The Lucky One“ since Clara Bow retired and Taylor sings that the person in The Lucky One „And they still tell the legend of how you disappeared, How you took the money and your dignity and got the hell out“. If you do your research on Clara Bow I think there‘s pretty much no other lines that could sum up her life so well.
    I am so so excited for this album, especially for this song!!
    April 19th War-Theory:
    When Taylor held her speech at the Grammys this year I was wondering instantly why she chose April 19th as a release date for her new album and I came up with an insane theory why that is. At this point she has me delulu so take everything I say with a grain of salt pls. So on April 19th (1775) the American Revolutionary War began, declearing independence from Britain. Taylor really said „You're not my homeland anymore“ (exile) „I can reclaim the land“ (bejeweled) „Our country, guess it was a lawless land“ (dbatc) „So yeah it‘s a war“ (ivy) and „There's no morning glory, it was war, it wasn't fair“ (tgw) SHE IS INSANE FOR THIS!!! MOTHER IS DECLEARING HER INDEPENCE FROM A LONDON BOY 😭 Not to mention “all’s fair in love and poetry” is an obvious replacement for the word war!!!! Britannica.com says „American Revolution begun Launched this day in 1775 with the Battles of Lexington and Concord, the American Revolution was an effort by 13 British colonies in North America (with help from France, Spain, and the Netherlands) to win their independence.“ 13 Birtish colonies? We all know that Taylor is an educated smart ass woman, loving the number 13. To me it just makes sense. Other than that, April 19th is also national „Poetry and creative Mind Day“. Guess who‘s a poet, a creative mind and the Shakespeare of our generation? Yes, Ms Dr Taylor Allison Swift!! I AM SHAKING

      Wait Wasn't 19 April 2023 The day Taylor's inner circle unfollowed Joe, I thought that's why it's getting launched now Not to mention It's also International Cat Lady Day 😭

    sorry for commenting so much LOL but you said whiskey on ice, sunset and vine and that just reminded me of this: when taylor performed gorgeous for the first time on the eras tour as a surprise song, she messed up THIS EXACT part like she was "omggg what was first was whiskey first or was sunset first?"

    im claiming who’s afraid of little old me just cuz i think im going to relate to it the most in terms of experience (assuming much but oh well), but im so scared and excited for how this album’s gonna turn out both musically and lyrically. i may def need a week off during its release week AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH 😭😭😭😭😭
