Have you met rich people? These two locations definitely housed the mentally unwell.
There was also no wifi.
And you have to put up with Wes Anderson constantly filming the bougie melodrama
She probably had to wash a few dishes at the summer home. Could you imagine?
The horror…the horror…
Most rich people are also sociopaths that show little to no empathy for their offspring.
Photo of the Swift Asylum, it’s actually horrible! Just 3,600 sqft on 11 acres?? who could live like that!
Okay completely irrelevant but I feel like infodumping and it’s crazy how THIRTY TOUSDAND PEOPLE lived in a city just over HALF of her property size. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kowloon_Walled_City
Having been to Kowloon 20 years ago, It sure seemed like every 5.5 acres housed way more than 30k people.

Uh, Kowloon is still there, just not the walled city. Kowloon city is 400,000 people per square km.
Ah my bad, I mixed up the two
No worries. The walled city without a government must have been hell on earth. The Sim City-like giant blocks that were each basically a city when I was there were were crazy enough.
yeah but if you live there your parents leave you alone at Christmas and two guys attempt to break in and kill you so you have to improvise booby traps
No argument that she’s from the wealth & privilege class
But you don’t become the biggest pop star ever with a completely healthy upbringing, either, right?
…why not? Pop isn’t exactly a reaction like metal, punk or hyperpop, it’s just… The default genre of music she could have made?
What unhealthy part of any upbringing would compel someone to make pop?
Anyone that driven was probably abused mentally to some degree at the very least… I know you think you’re being “funny” because it’s just “pop music”. Like being pop means it isn’t a horrible cut throat industry that regularly chews up and destroys child stars …
You know what else regularly grinds up and destroys children?
Poverty.
Which occurs to far more millions of people than whatever tf this princess went through
No, she had the fucken cash to sit around and get the fucken recording equipment and instruments for country songs. That shit ain’t cheap, and she started before the home recording revolution. So you know Papa Swift paid for some studio time. Its not abuse at all, its wealth and privilege to pursue what you want.
You’re not wrong on all your points but also jesus christ if you think DIY started after T Swift.
No, but in the 2010s it became much cheaper to record at home than it ever was and we saw countless artists come from that.
From everything ive heard, it seems her parents were super supportive and understanding, from driving her hours away so she could get lessons/coaching, to moving across the country so she could start her career.
Abused mentally could mean not voted home coming queen. Tempest in a teapot can still be a tempest to someone fixated on the teapot.
But you don’t become the biggest pop star ever with a completely healthy upbringing, either, right?
Sure you could. Why not?

Paul McCartney had, by all accounts, an idyllic childhood
Keep it down, you might interrupt the circle jerk. Don’t worry, they will tire soon.
What is the point in ever defending a billionaire for any reason?
Other than the jet thing, does she really have a scandal?
I just don’t think anyone has that kind of drive their whole life without deepseated need of some kind to propel them
not only that, but a SUMMER HOME too?? the audacity, how can one live in only TWO houses?!
Fitting since she makes music for people that are exactly like that.
People that think they’re wild and crazy but are actually the most mild and middle class white people you’ve ever met.
If swifties were a pokemon, they’d be normal type.
Ditto has a place in the world
And it’s getting railed 24/7, the dream
dude sometimes I just wanna be a basic white girl
The power is in your hands to do so
That’s ok.
“If they were a spice, they’d be flour.”
yeah but they’re into being spanked so clearly they’re FUCKED UP and if anyone knew their terrible secret they’d be horrified
guys guys GUYS this song has lyrics in it that aren’t literally true omg
Wait, are you saying that Billy Joel doesn’t actually live in Allentown??
Maybe he did start the fire!
johnny cash is a fucking liar he never shot anyone in reno
And he was never a boy named Sue!
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Isn’t autobiographical songs and leaving breadcrumbs in lyrics and music videos Taylor’s whole schtick?
ITT: people who would have thrown away rap albums when they found out the rapper never actually dealt drugs defending a billionaire from a little joke she’ll never see.
I throw away rap albums from the ones that actually are murderers, come at me
I mean, asylums aren’t known to be horrible because of the quality of the architecture, but how people treat other people in there.
I mean her parents would drive to NY for singing and acting lessons, the family relocated to Nashville to enable her carrer, paid for private school, beautiful homes… by all accounts her family provided a strong foundation for her to launch.
She’s been supported throughout her life, calling the way she was raised an “asylum” is kind of insulting to people that grew up wondering if there would be food on the table or if Dad was coming home angry again. Not to minimize her struggles but I’m willing to bet most people could actually last an hour
When people write songs are the lyrics always supposed to be literally true? There’s some interesting stuff happening out there if so…
Can’t believe Johnny Cash actually shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.
That fucker didn’t even hang. Music’s fucking gay bro
GWAR about to serve 800 life sentences.
You may want to look more into it.
Her father was one of the principals on the closing of DreamWorks Nashville. Big Machine records is what DreamWorks Nashville was rebranded as once severed from the rest of the corporate structure.
He essentially took the commission he got from selling Toby Keith’s catalog and then reinvested it into Big Machine before it was open to other investors.
He essentially spent $2m to buy his daughter’s career.
Well at least it was a really good investment
I mean that sounds like it could be a story about super supportive parents, or it sounds like it could be a story about super psycho pageant mom type parents.
Even if it’s the former and they were genuinely supporting her dream and not their own, it still doesn’t mean it wasnt manic or stressful or crazy.
Or it could just be a made up fictional lyric, or one meant to reference her own internal psychological struggles with the asylum she’s trapped in being her own mind.
This meme quite frankly just seems like people who don’t understand music trying and failing to clown on the popular girl.
She treats people horribly.
A lot of people treat others horribly.
Maybe we’re all just shit.
So many celebrities and famous people grew up very well off, despite their relatable personas. If I ever get famous, I’ll be upfront about not being average or typical. I’m not normal. Not better or worse, just not like most people.
That’s how to get famous
Jessica?
She sang fondly about that Christmas tree farm, so I guess this new song is just to shit talk about New Jersey.
Understandable
