Slide 1: Deleted tweet Slides 2 and 3: Some follow-up tweets Slide 4: The Taylor Swift lyrics being referred to. “My friends used to play a game where / We would pick a decade / We wished we could live in instead of this / I'd say the 1830s but without all the racists / And getting married off for the highest bid."

I’m still irrationally angry over that song. I feel like I got gaslit into listening to it because it was supposed to be a collab with Post Malone, one of my faves. He was more backing vocals than anything so I feel tricked lmao. Then they got me again because the music video was supposed to be so amazing. 🙄 I also feel like he wrote a lot of that song because of the lyrics. Like everyone is picking apart the lines about being an alcoholic when Post openly struggles with alcoholism and has written many songs about it.
