No? There’s not even a mention of anyone except this person’s lover and the Lord I guess? This isn’t about race

I can maybe see some tone deaf classism with the youre starving till youre not but that is a common idiom and not literal, but I genuinely dont understand where people are seeing racism in this album (though I agree the one piece of merch with the lightning bolts is concerning)

Voting yes even though I don't know what you're referring to bc I don't like Taylor and I wouldn't put it past her to have tone deaf lyrics

I agree! I think its a stretch but if it can be stretched to that its worth consideration for sure, I dont personally think the album or any of the merch is dogwhistling but for that specific thing I see and understand it even if I dont agree

She isn’t totally as antiracist as she would like to project and it’s a bad album, but I don’t necessarily think this song is racist. I don’t really know the other ones to say anything else, but I think the issue is that people have forgotten how to just dislike things without having to like cite reasons why
