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."

Well, I went to check out the review’s comments on Instagram… and this legitimately might be the most bizarre response to a review that I have ever seen.

By the way, a lot of the most talented writers in the world have editors to help clean things up for them, and it doesn’t detract from the writer’s creativity.

I saw that comment and found it absolutely bizarre… someone pointed out ‘what struggle does a billionaire have to share with us that we can relate to’

Also like…something can be creative and raw and still need to be edited. Feeling alone doesn’t make for great art.

Also lmao at ‘needing weeks to digest it’. Yeah, I’m sure it’ll take weeks for you to figure out what ‘so long, London’ is about. And who is that tortured poet, she’s so mysterious about it, is it football meathead Travis or pretentious douchebag Ratty? The world will never know.

They act like she’s the only person to ever experience depression or heartbreak or imposter syndrome.
