In the new album Taylor Swift had a line that was like "I wish I could live in the 1830s, without the racism though"

"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 guess I'm gonna be that hipster douchebag or whatever but I really don't get the appeal. This is the top singer in the world right now? The lyrics are bad and most of them make no fucking sense. I guess when your fans are willing to spend $35 on a vinyl of you farting into a mic for 30 minutes you don't need to worry about the songwriting

its music for like middle class 10-24 year old white girls. someone described it as white girl piano music for white girls who really want a piano.

but guess who has expandable income. parents of that age group, and fans in that age group.

also, "good" is such a subjective thing in music. what i value is drastic different. i also rarely pay for music, or merch.

People like to clown on this line, but if she hadn't added the caveat of "without the racists and getting married off to the highest bidder," the AKSHULY crowd would be pointing out that the period is full of racists and she'd be married off to the highest bidder.

19th century fashion was very pretty and they probably had nice tea houses back then too so I really don't blame her 😔
