are we out of the woods yet? are we in the clear yet? why’d you have to go and lock me out when i let you in? didnt they tell us don’t rush into things? didn’t you calm my fears with a chesire cat smile? what if all i need is you? why’d you have to lead me on? why’d you have to twist the knife? why’d you have to make me love you? was it over when she laid down on your couch? was it over then? is it over now? did you leave her house in the middle of the night? did you wish you’d put up more of a fight when she said it was too much? do you wish you could still touch her?
the thing about haylor is i dont want them together i dont think they were the pinnacle of a perfect relationship i just find their dynamic and the way they write about each other SO ENDLESSLY INTERESTING. like i am a fan of the art of haylorism not shipping these two humans together as actual end game. does this make sense?
HARRY POSTED HIS FIRST PHOTO IN COLOR THE WEEK AFTER WE GOT TO SEE A PUBLIC TAYLVIN. BC HE REALIZED HER SCREAMING COLOR IS NO LONGER WITH HIM AND THERE’S NO POINT WAITING. IF THAT DOESNT BREAK YOUR HAYLOR LOVING HEART THAN IDK WHAT WILL.
Thinking about “Flamingo pink, Sunrise Boulevard” and “Aquamarine, moonlit swimmin’ pool” and “In the tangerine, neon light, this is luxury” in the context of “The rest of the world was black and white / but we were in screaming colors”.
The vaults songs are amazing in the sense that they showcase so perfectly how back and forth their relationship was. They can be almost ruthless, because that was the feeling in the heat of the moment… and then things were good again. For all that she blames him, she also lays her part on it. They both suck at communicating back then.
By the time 1989 was as out they were on good terms, and while I think a big part of letting it be publicly known she was on good terms with him during 1989 initial promo was because the message and image she wanted to project it was also because she never really saw him as the sole villain in the story… as charged as their story was the fact that they remain friendly nowadays? A true testament of how they really see each other. Theirs wasn’t a story of unforgivable mistakes but a sad story of really bad timing and not being ready for something so striking
The way she loved him so much to the point where she would have been okay with being called a slut if that meant she could have him! And the way she is possessive over his couch and snarky that he is dating her clowns while wondering why he didn't say I love you
I KNOWWWWW she was so fucking in love with him and felt insane. i am thinking about her ayhtdws speech on tour. the one where she said that people deserve more than someone who can’t make up their mind and say they love you. he hurt her so bad and the worst part is in all his songs after that, he didn’t ever seem to notice. he speaks so frequently of his hurt. she sings of his hurt a couple times (particularly in ootw and question). but when does he ever mention hers?
it’s a tragic thing in their story where she was always more aware than he was and always more emotionally intelligent.
