My boyfriend and I are nauseatingly adorable
We’re that couple that I hate on Christmas when I’m bitter and single
“One of the gentler moments of the film is Swift’s performance of “All Too Well,” from the album “Red,” from 2012. The song was never a proper single, yet it’s one of Swift’s most beloved ballads, and she plays it solo, on an acoustic guitar. The song is about being haunted by memories of a bungled love, maybe for a little longer than you should be. “I know it’s long gone / And that magic’s not here no more/ And I might be O.K. / But I’m not fine at all,” she admits—so go the scars of love. What’s most striking about “All Too Well” is how Swift validates and reaffirms her experience; when a complicated relationship ends, it’s easy to feel bewildered and betrayed, unsure of everything that happened prior to the moment of collapse. Were you swindled? Or, worse, did you somehow invent the whole thing? Swift’s repeated assertion—“I was there”—begins to feel like a kind of corrective to whatever unkind maneuvering her ex (in this case, the actor Jake Gyllenhaal, according to Swift lore) was up to. Though later in her career she would become more brash about broadcasting her own empowerment, “All Too Well” might be Swift’s most quietly feminist moment. ”
New Yorker comments on All to Well acoustic preformamce from Taylor Swift Netflix Special
Baby I’m fine
I see it when I close my eyes
Think it’s time
I’m running for the crown
I’m running for the crown
I’m I’m …
So heavy on my heavy on my bones
When I’m sitting on my sitting on my throne
Historically, European princesses were pawns in vast games of marital chess across the continent, their reproductive organs sites of familial wealth, status and dominance. Few of them ruled directly. Thus, the reigns of female queens onscreen showcase the anomaly of female power, the drama of women struggling for independence and the traumas real-life women endured for their thrones: their bodies wrangled and twisted in constricting bodices, their looks consumed and critiqued, their sexuality oppressed and manipulated, their wombs venerated or denigrated.
The Obsession With Female Royalty Is Really an Obsession With Female Trauma
Reminder that your success isn’t dictated by your marital status and that females have more to offer to the world than just engagement announcements. Women deserve their educational and professional accolades just as much as men do!
