Taylor Swift is gonna be writing erotica before we know it.

You gents ever heard of Björk?
This is cocoon:


Who would have known
That a boy like him
Would have entered me lightly
Restoring my blisses

Who would have known
That a boy like him
After sharing my core
Would stay going nowhere

Who would have known
A beauty this immense
Who would have known
A saintly trance
Who would have known
Miraculous breath
To inhale a beard
Loaded with courage

Who would have known
That a boy like him
Possessed of magical
Sensitivity
Who would approach a girl like me
Who caresses cradles his head
In her bosom

He slides inside
Half awake, half asleep
We faint back
Into sleephood
When I wake up
The second time
In his arms
Gorgeousness
He's still inside me

Who would have known
Who ahhh
Who would have known

A train of pearls
Cabin by cabin
Is shot precisely
Across an ocean

From a mouth
From a
From the mouth
Of a girl like me
To a boy
To a boy
To a boy
 
Do they really need to, or is this like when you call your bestie a btich and everyone else thinks you're having a beef when really you're just...being yourselves?
It couldn’t be whipping up clickbait stories as advertisements for her album, could it 😇?

Last I checked, she's a genius of a businesswoman. AND it probably is helping Charli xcx, too, and from the few things I read - she's also had her as an opener on concerts so it's almost as if she wants to help boost a fellow musician, too.

I could be VERY wrong. I'm not immersed in pop culture all that much, it just...seems viable.

Who was it that had the lyrics “trauma drama” in a song again?

It’s kinda savvy. Who knows if the alleged feud is real or manufactured 🤷‍♀️.
 
We can all learn from this -- let's start slamming each other in thinly-veiled references in our stories. Everyone loves a feud -- our numbers will skyrocket.

I considered asking for permission (and volunteers) for a meta story like that for the Winter Holiday Contest, but I think I need to wait a year to know everyone better first - gotta figure out who has which part in that particular fustercluck.
 
I got the same feeling. I'm a fan, but not a superfan. I like her music a lot, and I've been happy that she's had the level of success that her talent and dedication.

But there was a tone to what I listened to so far that felt a little ... out of step from a young billionaire artist on her private jet with her Super Bowl fiancee and movie star besties.
Something in the back of my mind is telling me that Travis is probably getting tied up when they're alone...

In all seriousness, I wouldn't be surprised if a producer said to her, "Ok Taylor, its been too long since you beefed with someone publicly. You're going to need to beef with SOMEONE on this album. Who do we got?"
 
Okay I listened to the album today while I was writing and it's pretty good (the album, I mean). There's some depth that you have to listen for. Will people react to it? 🤷‍♀️ It's there but you have to give it a chance. Or maybe I just want it to be there and heard what I want to hear.

It’s back to her pop stylings. Max Martin (who had a cameo in one of my recent stories 🙄) producing, and it sounds like it. Fate of Ophelia is very pop, as is Opalite (which I saw described as a vocabulary test - onyx and opalite? Really?). I found Elizabeth Taylor to be way too on the nose and clearly about herself and not the actress.

Have only listened up to Actually Romantic as yet.

Hey Red,

It struck me that we are as good as speaking Swahili on this thread 🤣

"Vespertine" (where this comes from) is my all-time favourite album, with its complexity, its gorgeousness, and its sexiness. I once did a 1000 km (600 mile) drive to a meeting, straight down the highway in a day, with that album playing on auto-repeat. It kept me going. And as for the video clip to 'Pagan Poetry' (same album) - whoa.
 
You think I'm tacky, baby
Stop talking dirty to me
It sounded nasty, but it
Feels like you're flirting with me
I mind my business, God's my witness that I don't provoke it
It's kind of making me wet

'Cause it's actually sweet
All the time you've spent on me
It's honestly lovely
All the effort you've put in
It's actually romantic
Really got to hand it to you, to you
No man has ever loved me like you do

It's actually romantic
You've just given me so much... attention
It's actually romantic
It's so romantic



Poor Charli xcx 😢
She's already there, with 'Wood' on the same album.

Forgive me, it sounds cocky
He ah-matized me and openеd my eyes
Redwood tree, it ain't hard to see
His lovе was the key that opened my thighs
Girls, I don't need to catch the bouquet, mm
To know a hard rock is on the way
And baby, I'll admit I've been a little superstitious (Superstitious)
The curse on me was broken by your magic wand (Ah)
Seems to be that you and me, we make our own luck
New Heights (New Heights) of manhood (Manhood)
I ain't got to knock on wood

Yeah - it’s about an oak in her back yard, right?
