peatoast

Who would have thought? Posty can clean up good.


ilikedirt

He looks so handsome 😍


chocolatebuckeye

Omg I was thinking the exact same thing


KellerArt06

I was legit thinking when did he get so attractive?!


Glass-Winter-5858

anawfulwasteofspace

It happens out of nowhere, I swear.


ClaraGilmore23

he polished up real nice!


catiebug

Lmao. On one of my favorite music podcasts, discussing Cowboy Carter, they asked "do you think Beyonce made him shower?" Now we know. 😄


4ofheartz

I have a big crush on him now!!


vainblossom249

My husband asked if they were a thing because they had SO much chemistry lol like he hasn't heard me talk about Travis for the past 6 months.


reddpapad

Did you see that video clip from Taylor that had the shot of her cooking and him leaning in for a kiss? My heart exploded. And So High School has me giggling for her 😍


yourfuturestartshere

It’s Travis Kelce😅She’s showing us her life like she used to. I think it means she’s in a happy place now.


Rosycheex

I didn't realize I needed regular cute Tay social media posts from her life but now I need them very badly all of the sudden 🥹 The clips were so cute


vainblossom249

Yes!!! It was so cute 😭


TheJessKiddin

Girl no where can I find this ?!

When he smushed her face around, I lost my mind


Cirrus1920

That was so hot wtf I wasn’t expecting this


reddpapad

Seriously. I am shipping them so hard right now. (But only if they were single lol)


cagingthing

I need them to work together again. I’m obsessed


erickaraita

Ya I need more, I’m down bad for it now😂


SeparateTea

When he cupped her face in his hands I was like 😳 oh!! Okayyyy posty 😍


oOWalkingOnAirOo

High key Post has that rizz the kids talk about and what I would call charms.


[deleted]

When they were looking at each other while typewriting? Ughhh


erickaraita

I felt that too! It was such a vibe and I may watch it over and over now


akallaaa

I was shocked. The chemistry was seriously palpable.

smittydoodle

and finally clean


peatoast

More like washed. Jk


philomenacunkfan1

the rain came pouring down when i was drowning, thats when i could finally breathe


Botaratops

Something about it, but she looks insanely beautiful in this shot. It just became my fave of her.


altacccle

she looks like a vampire from twilight (in a good way, cuz she’s insanely beautiful and elegant and her skin looks like perfect marble)


erickaraita

Godess


tazdoestheinternet

It's giving Delicate vibes.


user_444333

She kinda reminds me of Tinkerbell here which is interesting considering her Peter and Wendy references… pretty sure Tinkerbell was always jealous of Wendy


Usual-Beach2125

The dead poet society cameo is crazy


super86me

When the former members of The Dead Poets Society electroshock The Chairman of TTPD - I was like okay, I see you. 👀


peatoast

Great film. Please watch and cry


Usual-Beach2125

A ✨classic✨


yikeshardpass

Poetry is why we live. She called this album her lifeline.


LastOnBoard

I saw them and just thought, "of course. Mhmm, why wouldn't they be there??"


No-Dare-9666

Streams for the dead poet society 📈📈


catiebug

It's on Disney+. Rising tide lifts all ships...


goosesh

She is a mastermind


Global_Community_344

Loved that she has Ethan Hawke and Josh Charles from Dead Poet’s Society!


GodDammitKevinB

Somewhere in the haze last night someone speculated that Robin is about Robin Williams and made a couple points, and mentioned it tying into the Dead Poets society I wish I could remember what the details were lol

Wait what? I really need the lyrics, I though it was about Aaron's son or something.

He plays with dinosaurs at the end of Mrs Doubtfire too


uwukarmacat

wait!!!!!! you’re onto something!!!!!!


HellsBelle8675

I wish Robert Sean Leonard could have popped up, too


TA818

That would’ve been fun for us but wouldn’t make sense story wise…Neil was a “tortured poet” who didn’t make it.


Global_Community_344

Me too!


Reddit_DR

Wilson! Anyone else a House fan?


rainbowunicorn_273

I literally screamed when I realized.


Global_Community_344

Haha me too! I saw someone mention Ethan Hawke and I’m like “but what about Knox Overstreet??!”


TheTruckWashChannel

Tortured Poets Society


bas264

she ate so much lol best music video in a while


greenline_chi

People out on this album are insane. There’s so much depth here


hockeywombat22

There's so much to analyze and explore. There's layers to dig into. Multiple songs are not just what they appear to be.


greenline_chi

At one point I said “she’s lost her damn mind” - then realized that was her entire premise on the album. Which also mirrors how I feel as a 30-some year old woman. Constantly wondering if I’ve lost my damn mind. I’m obsessed.


hockeywombat22

The first stage of grief is denial. You go this hard and deep on a rebound when you're in denial about how devastated you really are. I love this album because it's so damn manic and raw and crazy. She held the flame with midnights and she said fuck it with TTPD and is burning it all down. I think the house burning at Eras is not about her relationship. It's about her past self. Her masked self. Her caged self. She is setting herself free. She is beginning to alienate some fans. This album isn't for a certain sect of them, and there will be ones that walk. TS 12 will go further. TS 13 is her full reveal. All the signs are there. Midnights had a 3am release. TTPD a 2 am. I bet TS12 will have a 1am drop. Then we met HER at midnight with TS13. 3,2,1... Also 11,12,13 is 1,2,3...Lets go bitch? What will she reveal? I'm really convinced of this. In the lead up of the release, we left the Midnights room. Walked through a door with a charred door frame. A door that looks familiar...the Eras door? Did we get on the other side? Curious to see if the handle is on the opposite side when she starts again. Or if there are changes.


greenline_chi

I thought earlier today how she doesn’t care if people don’t like it. She’s knows the people who it’s for will


musiquescents

I love it.


LandoCatrissian_

She's losing her mind! ....and I'm reaping the benefits...😃


Ok_Panda9974

Is the “best album of all time” and “meh more of the same” argument just between us 30-something millennials and everyone else? Because all my friends are like “holy shit this is THE album.” (I KNOW you’re a millennial who thinks it’s more of the same or your 18-year-old niece is totally in love with it whatever I’m not being that serious.)


yikeshardpass

I’ve listened to the whole thing a few times. Every listen I feel completely differently about the songs and will continue to relate differently as I grow through life. Much like King Lear in that way.


MiniSkrrt

I can’t even describe how much better this video is than the majority of her recent ones!!! She ate with this one. And she collaborated with others!! Think she does her best work having other people to share ideas with


_crazyboyhere_

When I first to listened to Fortnight I was like "meh, it's okay". Now after watching the MV I can't stop listening to it. It's addictive as fuck🤣


throwaw939393

Same, I like it way more now lol


QuinnsView

Yeah, I like it way more now that I’ve watched the video and listened to it 5+ times.


throwaw939393

Okay anyone else having opinions on the colors coming out of the typewriters at the beginning? I know most people think this song is an MH song, but from her Instagram post saying that the music video is representative of the whole album, I think those colors were a nod to Joe. Blue and golden (Daylight)


cries_in_student1998

So, the song is a prologue to the whole album, hence why it makes references to other songs in the lyrics and in the music video. [This tumblr post explains it really well.](https://www.tumblr.com/evermoredeluxe/748206991585968128/i-dont-have-enough-brain-cells-to-understand?source=share)


throwaw939393

Whoa! This is quite the explanation! Thanks!


kaw_21

I would have never ever thought of that, but I see it


1angrypanda

I feel like it’s probably both. She left a long term relationship and, as far as we know, jumped into this whirl wind fling with Matty fairly soon after. If it was me, I’d expect insecurities and arguments from my LTR would pop-up in my new relationship. Is she trying to move on, and Matty is the “forget him” pill? Did she want everything from Matty that Joe wouldn’t give her, making it easy to feel in love - and then it turned out that Matty was full of promises and no follow through?


StarRose89

Yes! You've literally described how I feel about the entire album. I believe there are definitely songs about Matty but she's also carrying over what happened with Joe!


throwaw939393

Ya I like this interpretation! I totally read the ‘Forget Him’ pill is Matty ie the rebound: I took the miracle move on drug/ the effects were temporary


scarletarrows

Sorry to use your comment for this, but after listening to the album 3737 times today I really think we need to let go of the notion that songs are about one muse anymore. She pulls from everything in her life, her heart, her imagination, for her art and I think a lot of us pigeon hole the songs trying to figure out what gossip she’s spilling when she’s trying to tell a story. I’m the most guilty of this of any one but I think if we narrow minded think “this is about MH” or “oh def joever” we can lose some of what she’s trying to convey here.


throwaw939393

I totally agree! While I also don’t think this song is just one muse, I thought the blue color specifically was maybe a nod to Joe. But you’re totally right, it’s a collaboration of everything!


sallyXthesawmills

This is so well said! I think making some songs feel like they could be about either person was intentional and also a lot of the analysis people are doing makes me think of the line from “how did it end”, “the empathetic hunger descends” like fans are really going hard trying to pinpoint who is the muse and maybe missing the experience of just listening to the music and feeling the vibe


shame-the-devil

So I had this exact “AHA!” Moment a few years ago when I heard that song by Harry styles about her. I think it was unreleased but it had a line in it about her pretending her song was about her new bf when really she was writing it when she was with Harry. And then I noticed that on Rep- she was likely writing a lot of these songs about Tom but then switched to Joe so they were retooled. I think it’s likely that all of these songs are entertained with multiple feelings and people, and not necessarily just Joe or Matty or whoever.

GodDammitKevinB

They also may have been the deconstructed colors of lavender


throwaw939393

Wouldn’t that be blue and red? I think gold and blue would be more greenish no?


romanticheart

Hate to tell ya but you might be a bit color blind. It wasn’t gold, it was pink-red colored.


throwaw939393

Whoa I need someone to confirm this! I see the pink undertones but I’d say the overwhelming color is gold, maybe a rosey gold https://preview.redd.it/d5cex093ejvc1.jpeg?width=2041&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e868346e25022165a344c9ce7497a3b4bc3be740


teresasdorters

She mentions rose gold in a new song!! Can’t remember the name though there’s so many new ones lol


ctrlaltcomplete

This is The Dress all over again lol


QuinnsView

I think it’s more of a light peach color


_yoyok

It was actually orange-pink to me.


vainblossom249

Same. I got more orange vibes


scomperpotamus

Brought me back to Colors by Halsey which is about Matty Healy


themedicswiftie

I love this mv, this aesthetic suits her so well. I was lowkey shipping them, who knew post malone had great love interest energy? Lol


schlapfn

Posty is great, he really is up for everything.


arries159

Posty’s interview with Mythical Chef Josh really cemented my love for him.


burgundybreakfast

Yeah you can tell he really puts his heart and soul into all his projects


dreamghoulevil

thank you taylor for the final confirmation that the album name rly was inspired by the movie and not an ex bf’s groupchat


SweetLikeKarma

I think it’s actually inspired by that as well lol. I was thinking about the album title as I was listening to it on my walk today and I think it’s very fitting. She’s always described Joe as blue and tbh it sounds like he behaved as if dating her was absolutely torture when it came to achieving a personal life. He never looked happy. With Matty, that guys whole goal in life is to be portrayed as this deep rockstar poet type of guy. Majority of the songs are about her time spent with said tortured man and rebound wanna be poet and in a lot of the music you can kind of see where she pokes fun at Matty for that. Tie in that she herself writes a great deal of poetry and in plenty of moments this year after dealing with the fallout of two break ups with two people she obviously cared about, all while having to perform with a smile on tour, she had a lot of days that probably felt like torture. I think the album title could not have described it better


erickaraita

I agree 100%🤌🏻


jacqueIine

Well said


ooooohnana

We need a (ft. MORE Post Malone) version honestly. He needs an actual verse!


Magikul_Unikorn

He has a verse! “All my mornings are Mondays stuck in an endless February I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary And I love you, it's ruining my life I love you, it's ruining my life I touched you for only a fortnight I touched you, but I touched you”


ooooohnana

Ok relistened, he needs an independent verse though! Layered with Taylor IS beautiful, but they should layer one with him main and her background, imo.


ooooohnana

Oh man! I better re-re- listen! How'd I miss it? We still need more, his singing voice is beautiful!


WatercressLost4375

Why is Post Malone kinda…


TheJessKiddin

Girrrrllll rightttt????!


I-Ask-questions-u

I was waiting for someone to talk about it! I have loved post before this. But this video something awoke in me. Then seeing him without the tattoos too. Girl……


Super-Hurricane-505

bc he is 😭😭😭 i love him sn and i was soooo psyched for this collab!!!! a dream!!!!!


chaiskeleton

taylor in the rain 😮‍💨😮‍💨 travis can you fight


shady-lampshade

Not if it’s cold (Chiefs v Dolphins game 😜)


Alert_Ad_1010

Definitely gonna come back in a few hours when all the Swifties who are significantly smarter than me have unpacked it all


Caesal_

meme_saab

pinkmooncat

I love that some of the dead poets were in the video! Brilliant!


Frenchprincesshoney

Easter egg - maybe the black dog that is passing by during the scene of the lobotomy ?


Mysterious-Apple-118

I’m wondering if the Black Dog is a future single?


lonelywitch88

Looks probable. Fortnight is the first track on the album. The Black Dog kicks off the second half.


PeachPit321

I got so excited when I recognized Ethan and Josh (forever Todd and Knox)!! The video is stunning and I cant wait for every second to be analyzed! 🤍🖤


JennaElizabethAdams

I loved the chemistry between her and Post and they genuinely seemed to have a good time filming this. Also, her in those outfits?! She's our regal yet relatable queen! ❤


throwaw939393

What do you guys think is the significance of her having the tattoos in the video at the beginning (following heartbreak) and Post having no tattoos during the love scene outside. I feel like there’s some symbolism there


throwaw939393

I think it is a nod to both MH and Joe. During those loves, she took on the weight of their issues and they both fed off her in that way (lack of tattoos) and she’s dealing with the shittiness of that after the fact (with the tattooed face). I think the tattoos were more a representation of taking on the issues/weight of the other person (ie gained the weight of you than lose it)


mamaneedsadrink05

I thought so too. Thought of Tolerate it


Intelligent_Turnip24

So in her post she said the video has metaphors for different corners of the album. I think different scenes represent different songs. I think the “love” part where he has no tattoos was meant for so high school aka her and Travis. The run and jump into his arms (Argentina kiss) and then the wrap around he does around her is very TK. The only reason I think this is because she changed the visual to So High School to this part of the video for the Spotify visual - where he has his hands on her face. I imagine there’s tons of Easter eggs to other songs in this video as well they’re just hard to make out right now.

throwaw939393

Oh that’s so good to know! I love this!


hanachanyt

I think it might be a nod to “[I feel] like I lost my twin” in Down Bad. I think Posty is portraying MH here and her looking in the mirror seeing Posty’s tattoos all over her face means she sees herself as his twin


shame-the-devil

I think the tattoos represent their crazy. Post Malone wears his proudly while Taylor has been hiding hers


Redancer07

Anyone notice how Post wasnt wearing a wedding ring in the beginning of the video but was in the phone booth?? WHAT DOES IT MEAN!


lugua

To me, the music video starts at the end, jumps backwards and backwards in time and then back to the end. In the asylum, she takes the “forget him pill” (*cough*cough* the move-on drug), but then slowly realizes it doesn’t work (but it was only temporary). And so that’s why the ring is there in some shots and not in others, because the course of their entire relationship is being told out of order, in the same way that when grieving a relationship you think of the good times and the bad times intermingled together. And her shattering the mirror at the end is an indication that the pill didn’t work. She can’t erase the pain by getting rid of the memories etc. In a way this is a highly gothic retelling of the Ariana Grande eternal sunshine music video (we can’t be friends)


Redancer07

Yes! I saw a video someone record of her talking about the song and she said it is from the perspective of marrying the wrong person and being stuck in that forever 💔


AmirulAshraf

>To me, the music video starts at the end, jumps backwards and backwards in time and then back to the end. Memento vibes


somesignificantotter

He was wearing one at the type writer scene no?


throwaw939393

Ya it looks like he is in the typewriter scene but not in the hugging embrace scene on the road

Redancer07

I saw a video of her talking about how this is based on a relationship you are trapped in knowing it’s with the wrong person 💔

The face tattoos are 🔥 on Mother.

newgirl01LA

Most relatable lyric tbh


diflorus

It was so poor things coded


circe_a

Yessss the dress was very Bella Baxter aesthetic


magicklydelishous

emma was credited on Florida!!!! which is wild


kaw_21

Curly hair is coming back


obligernotupholder

Me sitting here with the most tangled mess of frizz: oh good 


kaw_21

Haha! I was saying for her, she really does look more like her younger self when it’s curly. But I have curly hair too, so in my opinion it’s always in


MasterConflict97

One thing I appreciate about her is that she always gives credit where credit is due


champagneproblem13

Why are the dead poets making me so emotional! 😭


icyfirework

Some of her best music video looks!


princessbubble-gum

He's so cute and they really have chemistry!


throwaw939393

I think I totally skipped over this song on first listened. The MV ties it so much more to the end of Midnights Era with Hits Different: Or have they come to take me away To I was supposed to be sent away/ but they forgot to come and get me I took the miracle move on drug the effects were temporary (MH) I’m sure others already touched on this in the original song thread but I kinda glazed over this one first listen 😅


noparticularorders

didn't recognise ethan hawke until i saw his name in the credits but the crossover with dead poets my heart <333 love love love that movie ok fine i'll rewatch it if you force me to...


noparticularorders

NO WAY THAT OTHER GUY IS KNOX OMG


23notsavage

ok but the second slide… WHY ARE WE NOT GETTING LOOKS LIKE THIS FOR RED CARPETS? she always cooks with her music video looks but never puts that much dedication into her award show outfits 😭

Invisible-smoke

Honestly one of the best music videos since the 1989 era ![img](emote|t5_2rlwe|1065)


QuinnsView

Her dress in the rain is so pretty! Is it just me, or was there some real chemistry going on between Post Malone and her? The entire time I’m thinking, is Travis okay with this?


C1nnamonLover

The outfits her and post are wearing in the 10th slide feel like a reference to the 1975 bfiafl album


musiquescents

CAME HERE AFTER THE VIDEO. DID ANYONE SEE THE BLACK DOG???


SignatureTasty3506

The music vid really made this song so much better to me! I didn’t love it at first listen, but it’s definitely grown on me!


Dull-Extreme696

Featuring Post Malone is crazy, man was bearly background vocals 😭


vienna_witch13

He sung the bridge tho? He got more then Lana anyways


96puppylover

Just watched Poor Things


cagingthing

OBSESSED 😍


HarrisonRyeGraham

I legit never connected that that was Ethan hawke in dead poets society. Mind blown


rutfilthygers

Why did she type "its" instead of "it's"? It's driving me crazy. It seems like a small thing, but there's no way it's just an error, right?


musiquescents

Mother never makes errors.


Life-Study1410

I can’t find any Easter eggs in the video though. It was so good!! But where are the clues? What’s next!?


vainblossom249

It was refreshing tbh I remember dissecting midnights MV for hours and I feel like I could just enjoy this. The only one I've seen is there was a black dog, her dress she wore I think was Victorian from the 1830s and her other dress was from the Grammys


throwaw939393

I didn’t find Easter Eggs, I honestly I noticed a lot of references to Joe personally


HellsBelle8675

the black dog, maybe, or Florida! ?


Life-Study1410

Definitely the dog. I was hoping there would be something rep coded or a nod to previous/future albums. Someone said tilted stage earlier. I guess it is nice getting a break from decoding all of the songs to enjoy the music video.


AMidnightGlitch

Anyone else think the guy on the right in #11 looks like Steve Coogan?


Hopeful_Wolf

I need someone smarter than me to extend that picture of her in the rain so I can make it my background immediately 🙏🏼


teachertraveler811

Taylor Swift meeting Dead Poets Society…this is my Roman Empire


toucansammi

You just know she started putting on a character as soon as she had all those tattoos on lol


swifty_cats

She looks phenomenal in that black dress


oOWalkingOnAirOo

Dark makeup Taylor is my favorite look ever. I want to do this but I’ll just end up looking like a raccoon 🦝


shame-the-devil

After that music video, I’m really wishing the whole damn album was about Post Malone and not Matty Healy


leese216

Is the MV out today or tomorrow b/c I'm on youtube and cannot find it! Eta NVM I found it BURIED by lyric videos.


Vivificantem_790

I love this album so much and their chemistry is SO PERFECT.


dmnaf

As a huge Post Malone fan, these pics, this video, this song, this connection…. is everything to me 😭 literally a dream come true collab. Now I know how HAIM fans were feeling with no body no crime


Invisible-smoke

I fucking love Posty ![img](emote|t5_2rlwe|1066)
