okay I feel (in my personal opinion) Taylor doesn’t really get concept albums. On my many listens of Midnights, I didn’t really get the whole “12 sleepless nights” thing she was going for. And THEN her concept art was all 70s so I thought we were getting some acoustic guitar vintage vibe…that obviously did not happen. So in short, Loasg did the SAME exact thing. Sets up a concept album: barley touches on concept. I thought the whole thing would be like ICDIWABH and very introspective.
kinda like 2, i thought it would be like relating to how the fame affects her life rather than her life. like emphasis on the showgirl part. i assumed it was going give i can do it with a broken heart, castles crumbling, i know places, the archer, the lucky one, eyes open, dear reader but in a bejeweled/ 1989/ theatrical way if that makes sense
