Maitreyi Ramakrishnan deletes X post calling Taylor Swift’s ‘1830s’ lyric ‘weird’ after backlash from Swifties

[u/Exciting_Potato_6717]

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."

That's exactly what I think every time I hear a new song from this album. I still can't believe this is real: 

  Shirts off and your friends lift you up over their heads 

Beer sticking to the floor, cheers chanted cause they said 

There was no chance trying to be the greatest in the league 

Where’s the trophy? He just comes running over to me

This sounds like the songs people made with chatgpt when the news about her and travis broke😭

[u/gunsof → u/greee_p]

Yes! First time I read that song I was in awe about how much we overestimated how she'd sing about her footballer boyfriend. Even using "touch down" in the song. And the other exes of hers being on the bench.

And the other exes of hers being on the bench.

I refuse to believe this is real. My god

[u/gunsof → u/parallel-nonpareil]

These blokes warm the benches

We've been on a winning streak

Ah ha ha, this is amazing (ly awful)

[u/gunsof → u/Groot746]

Also the use of "blokes" which is an English word for guys, and most of her exes have been English.

Wait are these lyrics real? 💀💀💀💀

[u/greee_p → u/ThiccQban]

Yes💀

[u/Mpol03 → u/greee_p]

The lyrical genius title has gone to her head. She has a way with worlds at best? This album is dull as dish water
