“But This Mostly Perfect Life Can Feel A Lot Like Being A Tiger In An Wildlife Enclosure. It’s Pretty

“But this mostly perfect life can feel a lot like being a tiger in an wildlife enclosure. It’s pretty in there, but you can’t get out. It’s peculiar to me that after all these years, I still get so anxious when I see a group of people staring, amassed outside my house, pointing, camera phones up... they could never imagine how much that feels like being hunted. And no matter how big my house is, or how many albums I sell, I’m still going to be the rabbit. Because the hunters will always outnumber me. The spectators will stand by, shaking their heads, going “That poor girl.”

But the point is.. they’re still watching. Everyone loves to watch a good hunt.

I worry for my generation and the ones after that because they will never truly experience a moment without attempting to capture it and own it. I am of the generation where you see a beautiful flower growing up through the cracks in the sidewalk, and you pick it. You take it with you to show everyone you know. Whereas I think our ancestors might come upon a beautiful flower and stop and think ‘Wow. That is really beautiful.“

Nevermind that picking a flower kills it, the same way taking a picture of a moment can ruin it altogether. They needed to possess things. They need photographic proof that they were there. They need to then post that photo online so their friends can see it. So that they can spend all day checking the comments underneath. That level of possession worries me.”

The first vault track on 1989 being called either “lust” or “slut” is sending me into oblivion.

Quick rules and disclaimers for my page:

Let’s be kind to each other. NO hateful rhetoric.

NO homophobia, xenophobia, racism, misogyny. NO interaction or slander to other users, exes, or people who disagree (they’re not worth it).

I am all for different takes, fun ideas, friendly banter, sharing of ideas, and lyric deciphering. I want to spread love and adoration for the swiftie community.

Taylor Swift owes us nothing. I want to respect her, her loved ones, and her personal space. Let’s leave theory’s, speculation, and notes for what she chooses to show us at her tours, sightings, lyrics, etc.

This page is for fun and community. Nothing overly serious these are just theories and nothing is fact unless proven to be by Ms Swift and her publicist / team.

Thank you all! Love ya!

Wish I was still using tumblr during Taylor’s unhinged era.

Like this post as a petition to bring that back.
