“how long will it be cute, all this crying in my room when you can’t blame it on my youth and roll your eyes with affection” is brutal when you’re growing older while your depression grows with it.

[@victorialloyd1341]

Absolutely! Also, it's this idea that when women are upset it's because they're naive or childlike, not that they're actually going through something. All the times Taylor's been accused of "playing the victim" or being "over emotional" when she's sung about her experiences and feelings. Im sure many women can relate to that!

[@bellecs324]

YES, i always think about it. Ok, up until now, it was okay to be unwell, but now people expect me to just "grow up" and suddenly stop having mental health issues,

As much as it sucked for Taylor to lose her masters just like that, these re-recordings might be the best thing that happened to us. Reliving eras, getting new music, new details, even buying merch some of us didn’t have the chance to get before. Everytime she re-releases, I feel revived. I watch it begin again.

[@fearlessgheleen]

i sooo agree to this. you know, this era is so memorable to me since this is the time i saw her live. and i met new friends. just reliving all those memories every era is like a journey. and i’m very thankful all these happen because of her re-recording her albums.

[@Nosfermarki]

It's been a year since you made this comment, but I just have to say at 38 I understand. What I've learned though is that there's beauty in that feeling. If you feel broken, it's because you love. If you feel hopeless, it's because you had recent hope. You can only grieve what you had. You're only comfortable in the dark when you forget how warm the sunlight is, and you don't want that. You can't grow without pain, and can't avoid one without robbing yourself of the other. So jump in with abandon every single chance you get. Embrace the fact that it might leave you broken and do it anyway. Be willing to pay the price for beautiful things, love them for as long as they last, and when they break plant flowers where you bury them and jump in again like you don't know what loss is.

Honestly, there's a reason this was her first really sad heartbreaking album: because being a young woman between 20 and 25 is SO hard! You've experienced some real shit now so the fairytale view that you had about your life is being lost and you're realizing the world is a lot less predictable than you thought so you're grappling with being lost in it all.

[@slideshowgurl]

I'm glad she released this now. I don't think it would have meant as much to me at 19 as it does now at 29. I feel like I am at an age where I really understand this feeling. Because our culture so often says that women (particularly female entertainers) have a shelf life! That somehow you're useless after 25 and that there will always be some, newer, younger girl to replace you. Even outside the entertainment industry, my friends and I feel those same pressures. Our society basically says that life is over by 30, which is INSANE, and simply not true!!! I really believe that as long as we are alive, we have the opportunity to continue growing-up and learning, but I completely understand this feeling of insecurity in the uncertainty of getting older.

[@angelitahayes8224]

I understand it because I’m 27 now and it’s too late to do many of the things I wanted.

[@celinevalencia6472]

THIS!! this is what embodies the song perfectly. how for over centuries, women are only desired when theyre young and lose their worth as they grow older. there will always be someone prettier, younger than you. it really captures the feeling of hopelessness when you know youre slowly getting pushed out of society.

I actually think of my older, future self, when she says “she got the map from me”, saying the younger (current) self was essential for the older (future) self to become who she is. Almost as “she got the experience from me”. And by “someday I’m gonna meet her”, “someday I’m gonna be her”, become the person she wants to be.

This whole song perfectly encapsulates her fears and anxieties of getting tossed aside by the music industry and the public over something new, which she didn't want to happen to these younger artists as well.

She has these people! She has Olivia Rodrigo and Conan Gray and Maise Peters and all of these young artists who saw her and thought "I wanna be just like her" and she is nothing but ecstatic and encouraging and protective of these young artists.

[@lanainmydreams]

2:53 "I know someday I'm gonna meet her, it's like a fever dream... she'll know the way and say she got the map from me..." These lines.

She fears her songs will get old and she will fade out, but that's not gonna happen anytime soon.

Poor Taylor during Red was probably contemplating if she’d ever see the success of Fearless again. She was truly on top of the world and won all those Grammies. Speak Now was successful as well but way more low key. She thought she knew everything at 18 when she gained all that fame but then became scared of becoming irrelevant. Now with new stars like Olivia, Taylor doesn’t care about not having as much fame as them. But she’s so talented she’s still as relevant as ever and wrote even better albums!!

[@chelseagranger6434]

i would argue she definitely has more fame than Olivia or any other up and coming female artist. She's gotten to a status that's doing to follow her the rest of her life. I'm sure she still has insecurities about it but it's like she doesn't know how much worth she has

And while you might have been one of the smart kids in high school, now at university you are just one of many and you used to think so well of yourself, but now it all feels a little too much and you feel like you can't keep up, but you will have to eventually, because you are no longer a child and you will have to look out for yourself now, because noone else is honestly gonna do it.
