I don't really listen to Taylor Swift but from the sounds of it her 'characters ' aren't very different from the people I hear in the hard rock and metal I tend to listen to. Especially songs from bands like In This Moment and Slipknot. Guess we are all just trying to plug through our emotions and relationships and relationship fallouts when they drop out. I know I am. I'm happily married but I had a friendship end after 10 years of not so good times but also filled with a lot of good things too. It's hard when people find they have nothing in common with you anymore-- where does the love go? I hope no one is afraid of little Ole me, but as you mentioned... maybe they should be. Ha.
I listen to a wide range of music, including some metal. It all depends on the mood and situation. I'm not a Swiftie, but I admire much of her work, and especially her dedication to her artform.
Totes agree! Always depends on the mood and situation for me as well. I'll even turn off some of my favorites if I am not in the right frame of mind. Lady Gaga is my favorite pop artist. I think if I was born a generation later I'd probably be a Swiftie. I don't mind her stuff I just kind of don't get it. But that's me I guess and I can be very snobby about music and talent at times especially with my piano stuff. Lol. Not that it went anywhere in the end-- wish it did sometimes though but that's a different story for a different 4am time slot, lol. 🙂♥️
I am mildly obsessed with Tortured Poet's Department -- I listened to it three times in a row yesterday! I love that her songwriting is so confessional. As someone who knows as much as anyone that it's a dangerous game to try to tease what's real out of a story (because I use a lot from real life), I confess I still find myself googling which ex a certain song of hers is about 😆
Ah yeah, I get the impulse, especially when you like the work. I also think some of her exs secretly love that they get a memorial. I'm guessing that a lot of the time it's an amalgam of experiences.

Great writing as always. ❤️

And thanks, as always!
