一个项目开始为Taylor Swift的苦涩已经成为一个庆祝 - 她自己和她的才能的快乐，旺盛的加冕。It’s an extraordinary achievement, and exactly the right move and mood for someone who’s been as famous and successful as she has for this long, because of her seemingly limitless songwriting talent, but also because of how much gossip she has given us, and the way she’s worked that gossip into her music. This is not easy, and somehow Taylor finds a way to keep doing it, all too well, ha.

But to go back to the mood and the bitterness, the energy that Taylor is serving right now, as she releasesRed (Taylor’s Version), part of the ongoing process to re-record her back catalogue and devalue her own masters, which she does not own, is to approach the projects with a renewed delight in her own material, even though the initial reason for the endeavour came from some a negative place. She has turned a personal setback into a way to deepen her connection with her fans, revisiting these old songs in community, and rewarding them with songs from the vault, and with familiar favourites that have now been mythologised over time. In the process, instead of simply going backwards, she has pushed her own boundless creativity forward – so that the work feels familiar but also fresh.Red (Taylor’s Version)is a major win in that it’s both past and present, a tribute to the songwriter she was, and a testament to the powerhouse she is now.

And of course, as expected where Taylor is concerned, she’s mixing gossip nostalgia and spilling piping hot new tea as part of the promotion. It’s smart, it’s fun, she is operating at her highest levels right now. And when Taylor’s in this groove, it’s great for the culture.

Red (Taylor’s Version)星期五掉了下来。为了为释放产生最大的热量，她带来了“全部井”的扩展版本。粉丝和批评者认为，粉丝和批评者都是她多产目录中最好的歌曲之一。广泛认为是关于杰克·吉伦哈尔，她透露了多年前，当她第一次写它时，它已经很长时间了，被削减了专辑的时间。这是Taylor版本最值得注意的奖金，她的粉丝一直在想知道他们是否会听到它。期待已久的发射伴随着泰勒自己的短片，主演Dylan O'Brien和Sadie Count，基本上从歌词中脱颖而出 - 或者，相反，泰勒与Jake的关系的过程。迪伦被杰克（灰色亨利，豆豆，面部发豆子）毫不疑问，虽然我们看到了从后面的PAP射击，泰勒和杰克在彼此搂着纽约的颜色抱着他们的咖啡杯。1zplayin the fall, in this film, she’s basically recreating their romance and breakup montage. She’s giving us the most insider look into what they had, how into her he was until he wasn’t. What “casually cruel in the name of being honest” (one of her best lyrics ever) actually looks like.

虽然这条线已经非常闻名，但是，当她让我们回到后来时，新的歌词比现在延伸到现在的五分钟到现在的十分之一，它比他们会更好地播放。不仅是因为她在2021年从不同的角度开始唱歌并从不同的角度唱歌，具有治愈和后视之际，而且因为在回顾时，她的远见者就是更明显的。

他的“F-CK是父权制”的钥匙扣，揭示了他和她分手，然后再回来做到这一点。当然，斯科希尔：

“我从来没有擅长讲笑话

但是妙语走了

I’ll get older…

But your lovers stay my age”

God that’s good. Precisely because she IS older. It’s why you hold the blow, you wait for maximum impact.

泰勒在周五的短片上穿着紫色天鹅绒套装，然后是第二天，然后Saturday Night Live,她在一个迷人“太好”ten-minute set with the film playing behind her, a departure from the standard two performance situation we normally see on the show. It’s a challenge to hold an audience for that long on one song – and for me, she nailed it. Taylor is such an effective lyricist, aka storyteller, that “All Too Well” did not feel too long, not at all. Not in this medium. It’s live television, it’s live performance, andSNL是唯一的，如果不是唯一一致允许这种情况发生在电视上的格式。That’s not to say that every entertainer should be given that long of a slot, but in Taylor we have one of her generation’s best songwriters, and a song in particular that’s captured so much cultural imagination, I feel like if there was anyone complaining, it might have been the song’s subject, LOL, and the men who sympathise with him.

But it’s not over for Jake with “All Too Well”. There’s another track onRed (Taylor’s Version)that’s also speculated to be about him, from Taylor’s vault, called “I Bet You Think About Me”. Taylor describes it as a fun “drinking song”, to capture that stage after a breakup when you’re like, f-ck that person, they don’t know what they lost, I don’t give a sh-t anymore…or at least trying to convince yourself of it.

I mean, there’s a lot of tea in these lyrics too, about her ex and his smart ass friends and their smart ass conversations making her feel like she wasn’t good enough but in addition to the bonus of releasing the song, she announced yesterday that there will be a video too.

As I’m writing this post before the 10am ET Monday drop of the video, we’ll cover it tomorrow but there’s still much to discuss ahead of its release. The fact that Blake Lively is making her directorial debut – well they’ve been close a long time, Blake and Ryan Reynolds attended theSNL星期六党的党派以支持泰勒的胜利返回工作室8小时，但是是什么让所有这种额外的有趣都是......

Taylor and Blake are friends. And Ryan and Jake are friends. They’ve done a movie together, they’ve done social media bits together, and sometimes Hugh Jackman is part of it, they presumably spend time together in New York, where they all live. Which means that Blake has to have spent time with Jake, too. And now she’s directing Taylor in music video for a song that’s widely presumed to be about Jake just as Taylor’s been putting Jake on blast all weekend.

或者......你知道......布莱克是否有可能播放PeaceMaker？现在是否有可能已经搬到了它并结束了它，而泰勒只能回顾它的关系，因为它如何激发她最大的艺术成就，他们可以拉出最终的转机，并且杰克让杰克成为一个勇气？我的意思是肯定是一个伸展。但如果每个人都有一种方式把它放在他们身后......

Taylor’s managed to turn a sh-tty situation over her masters into such a fun celebration of her music. Imagine what this does for gossip culture if she does the same with one of her most infamous heartbreaks.
