I don’t want to enter the giveaway i just wanted to say my fav line 😊

"i hate it here so i will go to secret gardens in my mind" this song hit me so personally and devastatingly especially with the mention of "precocious child" and that being the start of this coping mechanism of detaching yourself from the now and going places in your head that you would much rather be. her mashup of this with the lakes (probably my other top favorite song) was a deeply personal blow

My favorite lyric from ttpd is "I would've died for your sins, instead I just died inside" from tsmwel basically the whole bridge. the first time I heard this lyric, I knew it was the best bridge to ever exist. It has so much emotion and beautiful lyricism. (Also, I would love the anthology deep dive would be amazing)

"you swore that you loved me, but where were the clues" actually gives me chills, because it reminds me of the bridge of Mastermind. It almost feels like Taylor has been so obsessed with little cryptic messages, that her fans expect from her, to the point that they have affected her personal life. She looks around waiting for a clue from her partner that she can decode, something to give her hope that the relationship isn't over, but the clue never comes.

Man yes! I can’t believe I forgot about it but damn that one is soo good!

"It was legendary, it was momentary, it was unecessary, should've let it stay buried" From loml with the paralel from the 1: " In my defense i have none, for digging up the grave another time". From dreaming about "the one that got away" who had the potential of being the love of your life to just being crushed with the hard reality of this person that should've stayed in the past. It just breaks my heart💔

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet, but on TikTok, a classical composer named Steve Hackman did a great react video where he isolated the two parts of the counterpoint at the very beginning of So Long London. The lower part of the counterpoint? It's Tolerate It. Totally blew my mind, and establishes an undeniable connection between those two songs. I've been thinking about it ever since. It's worth watching. I love TTPD for a lot of reasons, but one of them is how radically TTPD has shifted my understanding of the songs on TS's last several albums. It's like we thought we knew what she was saying... but we didn't at all, and the puzzle pieces are starting to fall into place with TTPD. Favorite TTPD lyric? Impossible to choose, but maybe this because it's just so painfully sad. Our field of dreams, engulfed in fire Your arson's match your somber eyes And I'll still see it until I die You're the loss of my life

the fact that Taylor can come up with Easter eggs so quickly (Like the Story of us book) amazes me, people talk about how genius her lyrics are but she needs more recognition for constantly linking her new music back to her roots and acknowledging the history of her music.

@marigolden_mariposa

true, agreed. but the US written on the book is more likely an Easter egg for her new song with Gracie Abrams called Us. she speaks about it briefly in that behind the scenes video of the music video. it's probably an easy egg for both though, I mean, it can be for both if we want. especially bcuz the music video for story of us has papers flying around, right?

„I tell you something bout my good name, it’s mine alone to disgrace“ is just such an iconic way of telling fans and/or the media to shut up. I love to scream it❤️

A lyric parallel I just discovered this week that blew my mind is between Fortnight and Paper Rings. Paper Rings says “I want your dreary mondays” which becomes Fortnight’s “All my mornings are mondays stuck in an endless February” and that’s just devastating to me.

"I'm just mad as hell cause I loved this place for so long, London." Just the agony in her voice, it resonates with my own sadness of losing beloved places and relationships. That song is my favorite on the album.

The rest is: "but don't you worry folks they took out all her teeth"......with what you wrote, and this above, sums up how I felt 11 years ago when I was ruthlessly attacked and had my life nearly destroyed by complete strangers who to this day pride themselves on being oh-so compassionate and empathetic even though they are petty, and mean fakes and pretenders. It took years, but I'm finally back and ready to go forward again older, and hopefully wiser.

My favorite lyric is probably “are they second hand embarrassed that I can’t get out of bed cause something counterfeit is dead” it just is so sad and I love it 😢

“I’ll tell you something about my good name, it’s mine alone to disgrace” is my fav because I love that she is addressing that she is a grown woman who makes her own decisions and I love screaming it tbh

“Don’t want money, just someone who wants my company, let it once be me” The Prophecy is one of my favorite songs on this album, but also one that I struggle to listen to without crying. As a 20 year old hopeless romantic who has never been in a relationship, I feel this song so deeply. Love you Ally!! 🤍

I feel so seen by the lyric "Once I fix me, he's gonna miss me" !!

“I’m lonely but I’m good, I’m bitter but I swear I’m fine, I’ll save all my romanticisms for my inner life” - what a perfect way to describe coping with feeling lonely. My inner monologue can relate to

I read it like the woman's rage at its peak made of desperation because she's really hurting. Trying to inflict the similar pain onto him, feel as humiliated as she feels, but also just make him feel anything, stay connected through that pain

"I'll tell you something right now I'd rather burn my whole life down Than listen to one more second of all this bitching and moaning" THAT gives me such a rush anytime it comes up! She's said things like this before, but not with this vibe... I love that she is getting bolder if that is even possible, and that just gives me the courage of doing it too! Loving the video ally!

ANTHOLOGY DEEP DIVE IS A NEED! there is so much in the second half, it needs to be discussed

"Just to do experiments on Tell me I was the chosen one" It's so beautifully said that she is being used, but he made her feel special because out of all the animals, he picked her

As an American who literally just woke up, this is the best way to start my day

"you said I abandoned the ship but I was going down with it" hits so personal that i don't know if it's my favorite lyric, but sure is on the top

The lyric I love the most is "If the glint in my eye traced the depths of your sigh down that passage in time back to the moment I crashed into you like so many wrecks do too impaired by my youth to know what to do". Also I love this video, Ally 🤍

"I thought I was better safe than starry-eyed" has to be THE lyric I'm choosing 'cause it ruined my entire brain and I'm questioning my relationship ever since I heard it 🙃 it's been two months and i can't stop thinking about it

i absolutely love “i was tame i was gentle till the circus life made me mean don’t you worry folks we took out all her teeth” there are just so many different ways it could be taken as and it’s a line i always feel the need to scream from my chest when i hear it 🫶🫶🫶 ilysm ally

my favorite TTPD lyric is “ended with the slam of a door but she’s got the best stories you can be sure” 🥰 the bolter is amazing

‘i’m seeing visions am i bad or mad or wise?’ it’s so relatable

my favourite lyrics from the album overall are from "I hate it here" but my favourite line from that song is "ill save all my romanticism for my inner life and get lost on purpose" the whole song is just so relatable and so underrated

“He was a hothouse flower to my outdoorsmen” 💔 Thank you for taking the time to put this together! Love all your deep dives!

Florida, as an American, I regularly hear/see it as a few places: 1) that "old people" go for retirement 2) criminals go to because it's easy to get out of the country, escape gov and get to places in the Caribbean. Especially if they have external banks and assets. 3) Florida Man incidents 4) More recently, Questionable Government oversight/overstepping

In Clara bow "You look like Taylor Swift in this light we're loving it you've got edge she never did" because my great grandma passed recently and everyone says that we acted and looked simliar!!

"you shit talked me under the table talking rings and talking cradles i wish i could un-recall how we almost had it all" hits so hard for me. Trying to forget how close you were to starting a life with this person and not being able to forget that you 'almost had it all'

MY lyrics are “I choose you and me, religiously”, the idea that she feels this love where she would choose him in every single line and in every situation sounds like the most beautiful tangible feeling, or “You don’t get to tell me about sad” because I’ve experienced people telling me I don’t know what it means to be sad and I know what it feels like to be told that and her not only saying she knows what it’s like but proving she’s more than those words is so powerful to me :)

"in my fantasies I rise above it, and way up there, I actually love it" I have actually been using this as my discord status for two months straight at this point. (Closest I can get to my AOL status haha) I know it's not the main album, but I Hate It Here has really, really resinated with me, and just hits my heart in a way that very few songs ever have. I have read/wrote so much, played video games, watched movies all my life to immerse myseves in these stories and worlds. I don't know how to explain it, but listening to the song just makes me feel like my inner child is being hugged.

This might be a bit long but one of the things I like most about TTPD and the title itself is that it invites this idea of sophistication of her poetry and she allows us to think that in the first song but then by the second song of the album (the title track no less) she’s like no, nuh uh. She’s making fun of the whole concept itself. But then she continues to bare her soul out throughout the album, showing us she’s tortured but also having told us that she’s not a poet. And then this takes a full 180 with The Anthology because those ARE the most poetic, and crafted songs ever. So she just spun us around our heels with that. Probably my favourite thing about TTPD and the fact that that was specifically the title of the album.

@hkandm4s23

8 күн бұрын

100% agree. The whole album is against pretentiousness and romanticism. Whether it's poking fun at herself and her relationship in the title track, pointing out the audacity of the media or the fans presuming to know what's best for her based on gossip, or the dangers of romanticizing reality of the past. In any case, the album points out the problems with taking things too seriously and ignoring the simple truths of reality. Like, ignoring red flags in relationships for some imagined future, or fans ignoring the fact that celebrities are strangers that owe you nothing. I could go on and on but it's a background theme of the whole album. I love that she is in a phase where she is finally recognizing that simplicity and grounding yourself in reality is often the key to true happiness. The overly romantic tortured poet trope that she was so drawn to for years is a ride straight to misery. That's why her happiest tracks are about not overthinking things and enjoying simple joys of love.

My favorite lyric is most definitely “looking backwards might be the only way to move forward” if that doesn’t sum up Taylor’s entire discography, career, moral compass, everything she’s ever done, idk what does. And I can’t help but feel like she’s moving past that philosophy and realizing that sometimes ruminating on the past is not the way the move forward, or that she’s done that enough to really finally heal and let go of it all now. Very healing!!

It's not the most poetic line, but as someone with chronic depression, I love manically singing "Cause I'm miserable! And nobody even knows!". I feel that. Btw: I love your content so much, so thank you from a fellow Aussie for your insights. ❤

Thanks again for the new video, the song that gets me the most is "The Prphecy", the best line being "Spending my last coin so someone will tell me It'll be ok"

Oh, what a valiant roar What a bland goodbye The coward claimed he was a lion I'm combing through the braids of lies "I'll never leave" ... "Never mind" Our field of dreams, engulfed in fire Your arson's match your somber eyes And I'll still see it until I die You're the loss of my life

LOVED this breakdown of the album! One of my favourite lyrics is “Feeling like the very last drops of an ink pen, a greater woman stays cool, but i howl like a wolf at the moon” i’m a the prophecy girlie 🥹

The tortured poets department is a very important time stance in Taylors career. Some lyrics that stand out to me, is in the song, loml, where she sings “I’m the love of your life” at the beginning and middle of the song. But when she says “You’re the loss of my life”, is when I knew this was THE song. 😢

I’m obsessed with the way ur mind connects moments in pop culture/media 🙇🏼‍♀️ it’s so fun

“I cry a lot but I am so productive, it’s an art” it just represents my day to day corporate girly life😭 and also how we as humans can’t catch a break sometimes and we have to do all these things even if we are heartbroken, be that by a relationship a friendship or anything else, such a an amazing song 😭

My favorite lyric from the original album is “I’ll forget you but I’ll never forgive”

Love your deep dives ❤

This was the best deep dive i have heard! I loved this ally😍

hii ally thank you so much for this! i just need an anthology deep dive cause my absolute favorite lyric is from COSOSOM and is "could it be enough to just float in your orbit can we watch our phantoms like watching wild horses" i think it's just so beautifully poetic. Sending love from Italy!

My favorite lyric: "A greater woman stays cool, but I howl like a wolf at the moon" 🌙 🐺

53:02 that clip of the office is so funny when you compare it to but daddy i love him omg i’m dead 😭😭😭

There are so many stand-out lyrics on this album!!! But the progression of So Long, London including “How much sad did you think I had in me?” and “You swore that you loved me but where were the clues?” hit home as a people-pleasing oldest daughter so that’s my pick ❤️

My favourite lyrics are either “even statues crumble if they’re made to wait” or “you said normal girls were boring, but you were gone by the morning”

Its so hard to choose one lyric.. "Are they second hand embarrassed that I can't get out of bed cause something counterfeit is dead" is one of my favourite lyric ever.

"Oh what a valiant roar, a bland goodbye. The coward claimed he was a lion." has got to be one of the top lyrics I always look forward to hearing when I listen to TTPD. To me, it's like you gave your all for this relationship, it was a valiant effort, it was stunning how this person promised to fight for you and your love. But the moment it all ends, it's as if you gave everything only to end up with nothing and he's just.. gone. I personally relate to this and it's just absolutely gut-wrenching 😢

“For a moment I knew cosmic love” is one of my favs ❤

my favorite lyrics (are from The Anthology lol) "your hologram stumbled into my apartment, hands in the hair of somebody in darkness, named Chloe, or Sam, or Sophia, or Marcus and I just watched it happen." This whole song is just perfect to me honestly, and definitely my favorite from The Anthology portion.

Haven't even watched the video yet and I can already tell you I want one for the anthology! Love your deep drives, you make me feel smart when it's things I already noticed and yet I still learn more about her music from you!

“Say it once again with feeling, how the death rattle breathing silenced as the soul was leaving, the deflation of our dreaming” is AMAZING of lyrics and the whole bridge of How Did it End? ❤

I mean taking a favourite lyric out of 31 songs is insane but the one that always pops up in my head is “ my beloved ghost in the sitting in a tree, D Y I N G” I really can’t explain why I love this lyric so much but it just hits every time I listen to how did it end…

Some lyrics that completely caught me off guard on TTPD are from one of my top 3 songs, Clara Bow. “You look like Stevie Nicks in ‘75, the hair and lips / Crowd goes wild at her fingertips / Half moon shine, a full eclipse.” I remember listening to the album, the moment it came out, and when I reached Clara Bow and heard the Stevie Nicks line, I was in disbelief of how Taylor brought Stevie into her catalog. I will see them both within one week, on the 16th and 19th of July, and really felt a full circle moment. Stevie, like Taylor, is really such a comfort to me, and I view her music as tiny manifestations of 70s/80s/90s nostalgia in my life. But if I had to choose the lines that resonate with me the most, it would be the end of the song: “You look like Taylor Swift in this light, we’re loving it / You’ve got edge, she never did / The future’s bright, dazzling” I recall how I sat in my bed, crying when I heard her say that, as originally, before reading into the lyrics, it felt like Taylor speaking to me, the listener, and how there are so many young women after her who celebrate her legacy, and while she did never have edge, every one of those girls brings something different “to the table”, making them unique. However, now I know better about her intention with the song, but I like to think of the song that way sometimes. As a celebration of female accomplishments. Thank you for you time and effort, your videos feel like home to me. ig: callhercarla 🤍

in my boy only breaks his favorite toys when she says “but first, pull the string and ill tell you that he runs because he loves me” and then a doll voice repeats “he loves me” is INSANE to me bc thats such a genius way of representing it, he was neglecting her and making her feel rejected but she kept finding ways of justifying that by repeating it to herself (and she also says before that “i know im just repeating myself”) which is incredibly sad.

ally this video is so good, i'm so excited for moreeeee

I think my favourite lyric from this album is You shit-talked me under the table, talking rings and talking cradles. I wish I could unrecall, How much we almost had it all. It such a heartbreaking lyric showcasing how she thought they could have had everything, it reveals her hidden desire to be a mother and a wife. she is such a high profile figure but these qualities are important to her but he didn't want it with her

I thought it as a double meaning. Shit talked me under table cuz he was caught on 4k talking shit about her to someone after the breakup by a fan.

The lyrics that killed me are" who' s going to tell me the truth when you blew in with the winds of fate and told me I reformed you .When your impressionist paintings of heaven turned out to be fake , you took me to hell too"

"At dinner you take my ring off my middle finger and put it on the one people put wedding rings on and thats the closest ive come to my heart exploding" is the craziest lyric, i feel like it exposes all of her feelings about marriage and how she mightve wanted it

just wanted to say that i’ve been super sick the last couple of days, and this video brought me a lot of comfort for an hour and a half. thanks ally!!

i am so glad to hear that! hope you feel better soon

Ally, thank you for this beautiful video. I'm going to see Taylor in two days for the first time in my life and I couldn't be more excited. My favorite lyric from Tortered Poets is 'I was tame I was gentle, till the circus life made me mean'. The anger in that lyric really hit me in the first listen and I've loved the lyric ever since 🎪🤍

it’s too hard to choose a favorite lyric but I love So Long London and I love the lyric “I’m just mad as hell cause I loved this place for so long london” because It makes me think of how when you lose a relationship you aren’t always just losing the person you’re losing other people like their family and places that you went together. thank you so so much for this video it helps understand the album sooo much 🫶🫶
